What if one of the most impactful things you could do for God’s creation is just sit at a table and talk with someone about the issues you care about? Would you do it? Often, when we consider getting involved in politics, the roadblocks just live in our own minds rather than in reality. In a walk around the Capitol building in DC, Caleb is joined by Creation Justice Ministries policy and advocacy manager, Madison Mayhew. Madison shares what she has learned as an advocate for God’s creation and how we can be about that good work too!
