By Dr. Robert Sluka. A dugong hadn’t been spotted in Kenya in a long time – but what was the big deal? I argued that these animals were one voice in the orchestra of creation praising God, and that protecting them and helping them thrive again was an important part of our Christian faith.
By Sydney Houck. A Rocha USA interns and A Rocha USA’s Lead Scientist, Dr. Robert Sluka, have volunteered with the Brevard Zoo to establish oyster reefs, collect data, and build gabions – wire cages filled with oyster shells, which Restore Our Shores uses to encourage the colonization of oysters.
By Simon Stuart. As the birds accompany her on her journey from grief to hope, Ellis weaves in reflections on almost all of life. She gives us thoughtful insights to being a wife, mom, pastor, daughter, granddaughter, sister, friend – always in a way that rings true. She muses on the character of God, the state of the church and society, and much more, with great wisdom.
