Episode 30: Climate Strikes & Summits & Why Christians Ought to be the Best Caretakers of Creation

As we observe a week of youth climate strikes around the world, plus the United Nations Climate Summit, the environment is in all the headlines. Children, youth, and leaders are calling on governments to make some drastic changes or face global collapse. Interestingly, both the strikes and the summit feature Greta Thunberg, a 16 year old girl from Sweden who has recently been thrust to the forefront of the climate change movement. But who’s supporting her and why? On this episode of All Things we look at not just the headlines, but we also think about why Christians ought to be the best caretakers of creation.
