The Environmental Christian Podcast

Beauty by Design

I've invited some experts from The Center for Religion and the Environment at the University of the South in Sewanee to share with us for the next month or two. Host Jerry Cappel and Dr. Robin Gottfried lead us in a concept of Beauty by Design. 

Easter

We can't end with Good Friday. Easter is here!

Good Friday

Holy Friday

 

(come back Monday)

Maundy Thursday

My favorite service of the year because it tells the history of the last supper. It connects the old testament to the new.

Give it away now

There are times in the Bible where it is mentioned that God hardened someone’s heart. King Saul particularly comes to mind. I always struggle when the Bible says something that God did that seems counterintuitive to the loving God I believe in. 

Compost

What is compost? It’s the fifth R: rot. It’s taking your green matter: organic kitchen waste like veggie scraps and fruit peels and mixing them with brown matter: sawdust, cardboard, shredded paper and dry leaves to create a condition where the scraps can break down naturally and you end up with something you can put on your garden to enrich the soil.

Living Waters

For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. Luke 6:45

Hot or Cold

For winter, use 68 degrees while you’re awake and at home. Lower it when you go to bed. As for summer, 78 degrees when you’re home and awake. The lower the difference between the inside and outside temps the lower your cooling bill.

What's going on?

How often do we take the time to study nature around us?

Paper, paper, tree

Can you imagine a world where there is fighting in grocery stores for a product everyone easily has a replacement for in their homes?
