Episode 326: What Gives Life, Part Four--Stewards of God's Garden

To hear the opening story of creation in the Bible tell it, all of God's creation, and all its many forms of life, all fit together supporting one another and giving life to one another.  Human beings, too, are placed in a role of being stewards who nurture life, who help foster its growth with beauty, and we find our own sense of purpose at least partially in how we care for the world God made and has entrusted to our stewardship.  In a sense, both our ability to care for creation and our ability to appreciate its splendor, complexity, and goodness are part of what it means to be human.  In other words, it makes us more fully alive to care for other things that are alive as well. So... what might that mean for us in the twenty-first century?  In this week's episode of Crazy Faith Talk, we'll explore how our vocation to care for creation brings us to life as individuals, households, communities, and congregations.  We'll look at the spiritual and personal as well as projects we might take on as church or neighborhood, and see how we might be made more fully alive through them. So join pastors Sarah, Erica, and Steve around the microphone this week in our latest episode for Eastertide of Crazy Faith Talk.
