The Reverend Hunter is an evangelist but maybe not in the way you think. Dr. Tony Jones does like to talk about Jesus but he is equally effusive about how time in nature, and especially hunting, is good for our spiritual journey. This conversation explores some new topics since I am not an avid hunter or fisherman but there is a lot examine as we consider how hunting and fishing bring us face to face with the death that is both abundant in the natural world and is necessary to bring about life.

You can find more of Tony on his website or on the Reverend Hunter podcast. Links to both are found below.

The church is waking up to the climate crisis, in part because the youth among us insist that we do. In this episode, I talk with Tori Goebel, national organizer and spokesperson for Young Evangelicals for Climate Action (YECA). They have taken the lead in preparing young people to lead the discussion on climate in the church and community. We discuss how young Christians see the environmental movement, what type of actions they want to take to fight climate change, if they should talk with their parents about these issues, and the inspiring stories of the young leaders coming out of Young Evangelicals for Climate Action.

Many of the tensions between science and Christianity over the past century can be tied to differing interpretations of Genesis one. While searching for the singular best interpretation, few have considered that Genesis intentionally communicates multiple valid and unique messages simultaneously. In this episode, Dale speaks with Dr. Gregg Davidson, co-author of The Manifold Beauty of Genesis One, to talk about why we should reconsider our approach to the first page of the Biblical narrative.

Our changing climate, and its devastating impacts on our world, have left many of us with little hope. If you are struggling with anxiety about the climate or just looking for good news about what is being done to dig out of this mess, we recommend you read the latest book from Dr. Katharine Hayhoe, “Saving Us: a climate scientist's case for hope and healing in a divided world”. In this conversation you will hear Dale and Katharine discuss the climate, Christianity, science and how to find hope.

Also, if you want to talk with others about the topic and hear from Dr. Hahyoe and other experts, Arochausa is hosting a virtual book club that starts on September 21st, 2021. You can sign up at https://www.loveyourplace.org/

When it comes to Christianity and the Covid 19 vaccine, things are complicated. We all long for the end of the pandemic and the health of our neighbors, but some of us are exposed to confusing and misleading information on the vaccines and the infection itself. How can we have respectful dialogue when we are surrounded by so much vitriol and misinformation? Don't you wish you could talk to someone you trust? In this episode, I talk with Madelyn Schwieters, Christine David, and Kendall Luman about their experience with the Interfaith Youth Corps faith and the vaccine ambassadors program. They talk about their roles in speaking with their community about the vaccine in an effort to encourage more people to get the shot.

Is climate change real, is it serious, and is it caused by humans? If you ask someone those questions, a pattern will emerge. The degree to which someone is skeptical or accepting of human-caused climate change is most heavily influenced by race, politics, and religion. Dr. Robin Globus Veldman set out to explain why evangelical Christians are among the most persistent climate skeptics in western cultures in her book The Gospel of Climate Skepticism: Why Evangelical Christians Oppose Action on Climate Change. Enjoy this conversation as we discuss her work and her findings.
