From Courtroom to Calling: William Newton-Wordsworth on Faith, Farming, and Finding Purpose

In this deeply moving episode, host Melissa Bill sits down with William Newton-Wordsworth, a former lawyer who walked away from a high-pressure legal career to pursue a life rooted in faith, sustainability, and purpose. Warnings From The Living God.

William shares the pivotal moment that changed everything—when declining health and a deep sense of unfulfillment forced him to confront a life that looked successful on paper but felt empty in his soul. That turning point sparked years of global exploration, immersing himself in different cultures and spiritual practices, ultimately leading to profound encounters with God that reshaped his beliefs and direction. It also led to him authoring the new book, 

Now a sustainable farmer and owner of William River Produce, William explains how those experiences guided him to establish a biodynamic farm in Western Australia, where prayer, spiritual stewardship, and respect for the land are central to daily life.

This conversation is especially powerful for young people feeling lost in their careers, anyone questioning conventional success, or those seeking a deeper connection to faith, nature, and their true calling.
