Christians, Ecology, and the Call to Stewarding or Dominion, or Both?
Wayne asks Shane to explain why Christians have problems with environmentalism. The pair then descends into a conversation on the distinction between stewarding and exerting dominion over creation, especially considering our role in God's story to bring redemption and restoration to a broken world.
To close, Wayne asks why we have lost trust in the area of environmentalism with ourselves, each other, and our loss of trust even with creation. -

The Mirth of God? - A Conversation on Orthodoxy | Further Upstream
Shane fields a host of questions from producer, Wayne Stender. Wayne asks first if one needs to convert to Catholicism to have rightly read Chesterton.
Then, Wayne asks Shane to explain why he finished the book with tears in his eyes, when Trevin wax highlights that Chesterton is a "laughing prophet."
To close, Wayne pushes Shane to explore how and why spiritual insight is afforded to the most immature Christian and the experienced faith follower with similar impact while there's different delivery.
Customer Reviews
If you have ears to hear…
Shane and his team have really brought their A game to the podcast this year. It gives me optimism there are young Christian leaders like him.
I am biased but think both Christians AND unbelievers will benefit from the the thought-provoking conversations.
Engaging!
I appreciate Shane’s ability to think well and connect the dots on the issues of the day, relating them back to biblical truth.
Always Glad I listened!
A friend recommended this podcast and I’ve been listening ever since. Very clear communication of truth and the Christian worldview. On the episode from March 1st with Stephanie, would you touch on the Christian’s response to snowflake adoption? Many thanks and much gratitude- J. G.
