  • Excellent, Timely, and Informative

    Thank you for your discussions and interviews regarding science and faith. As a Christ follower who believes in science, I'm very disillusioned by what the American (white) conservative evangelical subculture (of which I was a part for 35 years) has become and how there's been so much extremist politics and denial of good science, like with vaccines and the need to combat climate change. Your program and organization are greatly needed.

  • So this is Christmas

    Thank you for your sharing. I was just talking to God before I listened to your podcast this morning and telling him how very joyful I am about Christmas how disappointed I am and the wars and how people behave and just the world we live in. I kind of want out I’m impatient for him to come downright cynical and mad. I'm tired of trying every year to feel joyful to really try to warm up and since reaction to the birth of the savior, the emotions aren't there this year other than the sadness so t... more

  • Smaller Me, Bigger God

    Over the past several years, I’ve been going through many perspective shifts. Part of this has involved my growing awareness of how my thinking had been anthropocentric, utilitarian and dualistic. It has meant so much to allow highly-educated, deeply committed believers on this podcast guide my opening of heart to how connected we (human and other-than-human) beings are, and has allowed my view of God to expand.

  • Open your mind, open your heart

    For those with open minds, for those with enough humility to admit they might have something to learn, for those unafraid to challenge the standard group-think, and for those either exploring or committed to the Christian faith, this podcast is a gem.

Start with one concrete action in your life and combine it with learning about the broader issues and communities working on those problems.
197. Rebecca Copeland | Wicked Problems and Unoriginal Sin
Q: How do you think science plays a role in the work of repentance, particularly for unoriginal sins?
Science can help us understand the impacts of our actions and the interconnectedness of the issues we face, thus amplifying our efforts in addressing unoriginal sins.
108. Debra Rienstra | The Discipline of Hope

Q: Why aren't more Christians sad or angry about environmental destruction?
Many Christians may idolize comfort and convenience, which makes it hard to see the damage caused by the pursuit of affluence and technological progress. This denial is deeply rooted in their American identity.
