Did you know that more people are interested in talking and doing something about creation care in your church than you might suspect?

Jarrod Davis was the Chair of the United Methodist Conference on Creation Care for 9 years and spent many days talking with rural congregations in North Carolina about creation care. In this podcast he talks about the importance of talking about creation, not as a politician or a scientist, but as The Church. He shows how bringing stories and lessons from the Bible help us love God and neighbor in more faithful ways.
