Why does climate anxiety suck?

The young adults we know wonder why news about the climate crisis weighs on them so heavily, and if there is anything at all they can do about it. Sara is talking to Falon — the co-host of this podcast, who studied environmental justice for her Doctor of Ministry — about why daily spiritual practices matter for connecting with God and caring for the earth, each other, and ourselves.

Dr. Falon Barton is the Campus Minister at the University Church of Christ Malibu at Pepperdine University, focusing primarily on the spiritual formation of college students. She has her Doctor of Ministry from the Hazelip School of Theology at Lipscomb University and an MA in Theology and Ethics. She is especially interested in the calling on disciples of Jesus to love our neighbors by caring for God's earth. She gave a keynote on this topic, “Created in Love,” at Harbor: The Pepperdine Bible Lectures in 2023. She is also the co-host of this podcast.
