By Hannah Hubin. Reading “Birds in the Sky, Fish in the Sea” feels a bit like learning another language, which means I must admit that the life within my own backyard often feels “foreign” to me – another vocabulary, another planet… Dickerson and Clark gently acquaint us with our own world and remind us that we are all called to know and care for a beautiful and groaning creation.
By Noah Guthrie. Our labors for creation, muddying ourselves so that the creatures of mud can be dignified, are profoundly Christ-like. What is the incarnation but Jesus plunging in the muck to drag TVs and shopping carts from the creek, striving to heal the creation He loves?
By Noah Guthrie. The sprouting of these seeds echoes another resurrection, and their tattered flowers recall another body raised on a stem to be pierced, tortured, and buried. “Truly, truly, I say to you,” Jesus said, “unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit” (John 12:24).
From the Biologos Language of God podcast. In this episode we hear the story of three places where people are caring for the land that reveal an important truth: as we care for and find connection with the land, the land cares for and supports us. And it leads us to ask, can our relationship with God be complete without a healthy relationship with the rest of creation?
By Heidy Sumei Chuang. To paint the butterfly, to reveal its minute beauty in extravagant brushstrokes and living color, is to live in wonder and hope.
Video by Heidy Sumei Chuang, A Rocha USA Advisor and Artist Partner, shares the powerful story of “The Butterfly Project”, where small acts of care for creation transform both human communities and the environment. Heidy’s journey of caring for monarchs in her neighborhood and fostering a creation care mindset in the children who grow up there is truly inspiring.
From the Eco Christian podcast with Caleb Cray Haynes. What do crayfish, dolly varden char, Aslan, and Frodo Baggins have in common? The answer to that is Matthew Dickerson! In Episode 38, Matthew and Caleb explore what happens when we pay close attention to creation and are drawn into moments of delight and wonder.
From Circlewood’s Earthkeepers podcast with Forrest Inslee. In these times of environmental crisis, it becomes crucial for us to think innovatively—even experimentally—to find ways to protect and advocate for the earth. In this conversation, Paul Dettmann shares insights into Cassinia, an organization dedicated to managing 30% of Australia’s ecosystems for conservation.
From the Eating for Eden podcast with Dr. Jessica Schroeder. In this episode Ben Lowe and Dr. Schroeder discuss a range of topics including the mission and values of A Rocha, the value of conservation work and caring for our non-human neighbors, churches and faith communities doing local work, reconnecting with the earth, and more!
