We are back with a new podcast series to compliment our Sunday sermon teaching, Earthwise: God's Call to Care for Creation. We are inviting professionals from our community to share from their experience and explore how environmental stewardship is an act of justice, discipleship, and hope in Christ.

This week, R.O. Smith talks with Environmental Lawyer, Ryan Waterman. Together they discuss Ryan's journey to be an environmental lawyer, issues surrounding the practice, and the most impactful case as it pertains to our environment. They also delve into the role God plays in Ryan's practice, and the places where the environment and Scripture intersect.

To see the Earthwise Sermon Series, you can click on the Earthwise Playlist. To see more content please visit our YouTube Channel.

Earthwise invites us to rediscover our Divine Design to care for God's creation. Through Scripture and honest reflection on the brokenness we see around us, this series explores how environmental stewardship is an act of justice, discipleship, and hope in Christ. Together we'll consider practical ways to live faithfully as we await God's promised renewal of all things.

This week, Pastor Karla begins our series by looking at how God created the earth and entrusted it to us. To be made in God's image is to care for what belongs to God.

Advent is a time of great anticipation as we await the Christ-child entering our world at Christmas. This year, through the imagination of C.S. Lewis and his book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, join us on Sunday mornings as we uncover the story of the birth of Christ in a new way.

Among all the Pevensie children, Edmund is unique. He is duped by the White Witch, enslaved by her promises and judicious giftings of Turkish delight. He struggles to know what is true. He turns on his siblings and endangers all of Narnia. And then he is found, redeemed, and returned to service as a soon-to-be-King of Narnia.

This week, Evan Gratz discusses how at this time of year, when we set aside what we have been and work to set new patterns and habits for the new year, Edmund's story might inspire all of us to seek forgiveness, redemption, and new work as a part of Christ's kingdom.

Advent is a time of great anticipation as we await the Christ-child entering our world at Christmas. This year, through the imagination of C.S. Lewis and his book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, join us on Sunday mornings as we uncover the story of the birth of Christ in a new way.

There is a wonderful scene in chapter 16 of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in which Aslan is instructing all the Narnian creatures where they will go and what they will do in the battle with the White Witch. He says, "Those who are good with their noses must come in front with us lions to smell out where the battle is." A recently de-petrified lion bounds in and among the other warriors exclaiming, "Us Lions. That's what I like about Aslan. No side, no stand-off-ishness. Us Lions. That meant him and me."

In this we hear again the good news of the incarnation. God does not declare humanity too broken or earth too dirty. Nothing is beneath him. God, in Christ, came to earth so that he might also declare, "Us Humans." This is the miracle we celebrate on Christmas Eve: God has become one of us humans.

When the Pevensie children hear Aslan's name for the first time it does different things in each of them, revealing their hearts' truest needs. The names of Christ—"Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace"—do a similar work in us. What are we most waiting for this season?

A thaw has come to Narnia, and with it comes a forerunner of Aslan: Father Christmas bringing gifts to all the Narnian animals, the Sons of Adam, and the Daughters of Eve. The gifts he brings are meant to prepare the Pevensie children for the hard work of following Aslan, who is coming.

Isaiah 35 tells the story of a spring thaw too. Meanwhile, we remember that Christ also had a forerunner in his cousin, John the Baptizer. And in baptism we receive the gifts we need to follow Christ, who is coming.

C. S. Lewis writes this story against the backdrop of war. Little children are shipped to the North of England, away from London bombings. Imagine the Pevensie children's fear and powerlessness, but also the power of a story like this to restore their hope.

Two thousand years before, a girl not much older than Susan wondered, "How can this be?" The truest things are not always the most probable. Salvation comes in extraordinary ways.

Isaiah 2:1–5 is also a text of hope against the backdrop of war. One is coming who will "judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore."
