The In Between Vineyard Columbus

What are practical ways we can steward the Earth? How do we lead our communities towards positive solutions to safeguard our cities, neighborhoods, and the next generation from the effects of a warming world and life-threatening pollution? As we gear up for Earth Day on April 22, Julia sits down with Pastor Jenney Rice to discuss creation care and why it matters.

For the month of April, we wanted to revisit an episode we aired a couple of years back about how followers of Jesus can be good stewards of our environment and think biblically about creation care.
It’s not an unpopular opinion today to say that Christians aren't necessarily known to care about the environment. But in this conversation, our executive pastor Daniel Nathan and co-senior pastor Eric Pickerill sit down with Rev. Mitchell Hescox – the President Emeritus of the Evangelical Environmental Network  - and hear Mitch unpack why he believes climate change and creation care is the greatest moral challenge of our time and how we can find opportunity for hope in building sustainable prosperity for all.

Founded in 1993, EEN is a non-partisan, non-profit organization that equips, inspires and mobilizes people of faith to worship God and love their neighbor by caring for creation. Rev. Hescox has authored numerous books, has testified before Congress, has spoken at the White House, presented at the Vatican and the council for Foreign Relations. He’s appeared on CNN, NPR, MSNBC amongst other radio and television programs.

What does it look like to move toward beloved community?

Julia and Eric sit down with Pastor Charles Montgomery and Pastor Adrienne Ash to talk about the upcoming Better Together conference at Vineyard Columbus.

Creative master Richard Smith III joins Eric and Julia for a continued conversation about spiritual construction, deconstruction, and restoration in a culture confronted with doubt. 

Whole hearted reconstruction may look differently for everyone when everything is on fire. What does it look like to hold to a firm foundation in the midst of renovations of the heart?
