Episode Highlights

"In Christ we are a new Creation–that’s what I've been hearing all my life. That life with Christ yields newness that comes with a change in our actions, and demeanor. Even after my own “ecological conversion” I had not thought differently about this passage. However Derrick Weston, the podcast host, sparked a new type of thinking in me when he clarified that the Greek for “world” in the maxim “Christ God was reconciling the world to himself” (v.19).”

"The Israelites' longing for their place of oppression because of hardship in the wilderness spoke to me especially as I think about the possibility of climate targets and goals at COP 30 weakening. I imagine for many decision makers, this is a hard time, and the temptation to lean the business-as-usual way - which will increase pollution, is real. So, the encouragement to keep moving forward because God is bringing life through the struggle is so good."

- Shema Roberts, Theology Intern
