In a powerful and intimate episode of Vox Populi, the podcast by Kyrkans Tidning,  Mattias Klum joins host Robert Tjernberg for a deep conversation on presence, spirituality, and the existential questions we face in the age of climate crisis and AI.

This wide-ranging dialogue explores Klum’s belief in “flow” as a form of faith — moments when time dissolves and the world opens up. He shares why he always asks nature for permission before beginning his work, a practice born from an experience deep in the Bornean rainforest.

The conversation also touches on Stigminnen, the Archbishop’s Lenten book of 2026, for which Klum’s images offer meditative reflections on gratitude, impermanence, and the everyday sacred. The book aims to help us overcome our “home-blindness” and rediscover the wonder in daily life.

Klum speaks candidly about facing illness, the closeness of death, and how that deepens his sense of gratitude and urgency. The episode is a call to awareness, reverence, and responsibility — not just for nature, but for the human spirit.
