Rev. Trudy and Rev. Brittany are back in the video studio to wrap up multi-episode discussion on “Hope for Planet Earth” – this time focusing on the need to act by asking “how can we help?”
It’s a multi-faceted conversation that brings in all aspects of the Holy Trinity as it relates to creation care and action. They start by focusing on creation itself, looking to Psalm 19:1-4a where it describes creation speaking and hearing God’s word. Then they move to Mark 16:19-20 and Jesus’ Ascension to talk about His ministry and what the disciples were called to do after he leaves earth. They then wrap up by discussing the Holy Spirit, who comes alongside us with prompting to act.
But that prompting to act is easier said than done. We want to do everything all at once – ignoring nature’s beautiful examples of how to build boundaries – which leaves us paralyzed and unable to act. So, how do we overcome that fear?
There is so much to explore in these two scriptures. You can keep the conversation going by joining our weekly in-person Convergence discussion group or heading over to our Patreon channel to discuss the following questions with others:
- Where are you reluctant to go with the gospel you know?
- How much of the gospel you know impacts creation?
- What would you rather talk about than do? Or do than talk about?
Our Patreon community is open to all – no matter where you align in your spiritual beliefs. It’s free to join and connect over the weekly episode questions. There are also two additional membership levels that allow you to unlock additional content. Check it out at https://www.patreon.com/fumcsd!
