Our changing climate, and its devastating impacts on our world, have left many of us with little hope. If you are struggling with anxiety about the climate or just looking for good news about what is being done to dig out of this mess, we recommend you read the latest book from Dr. Katharine Hayhoe, “Saving Us: a climate scientist's case for hope and healing in a divided world”. In this conversation you will hear Dale and Katharine discuss the climate, Christianity, science and how to find hope. Also, if you want to talk with others about the topic and hear from Dr. Hahyoe and other experts, Arochausa is hosting a virtual book club that starts on September 21st, 2021.

A climate scientist's case for hope and healing in a divided world with Dr. Katharine Hayhoe (43)

When it comes to Christianity and the Covid 19 vaccine, things are complicated. We all long for the end of the pandemic and the health of our neighbors, but some of us are exposed to confusing and misleading information on the vaccines and the infection itself. How can we have respectful dialogue when we are surrounded by so much vitriol and misinformation? Don't you wish you could talk to someone you trust? In this episode, I talk with Madeline Schwieters, Christine David, and Kendall Luman about their experience with the Interfaith Youth Corps faith and the vaccine ambassadors program. They talk about their roles in speaking with their community about the vaccine in an effort to encourage more people to get the shot.

Is climate change real, is it serious, and is it caused by humans? If you ask someone those questions, a pattern will emerge. The degree to which someone is skeptical or accepting of human-caused climate change is most heavily influenced by race, politics, and religion. Dr. Robin Globus Veldman set out to explain why evangelical Christians are among the most persistent climate skeptics in western cultures in her book The Gospel of Climate Skepticism: Why Evangelical Christians Oppose Action on Climate Change. Enjoy this conversation as we discuss her work and her findings.  Amazon link to The Gospel of Climate Skepticism Dr. Veldman's personal website Disciple Science Links Website: https://www.disciplescience.com/ Explore our videos: https://www.disciplescience.com/videos Listen to podcasts: https://www.disciplescience.com/podcast Donate: https://www.disciplescience.com/support Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/disciplescience https://twitter.com/DiscipleScience https://www.facebook.com/DiscipleScience

John Kirkwood is a pastor who started an organization called the Sparrows Call and a YouTube interview show called Voices in the Wilderness. He is working to reach those who disassociated with Christianity, the exvangelicals, the nones and the dones, by creating spaces to explore Christianity (and science) outside of the confines of a traditional church. He is a voice of wisdom for those who are deconstructing and reconstructing their Christian faith who may be critical of religious but compelled by Jesus.  Enjoy this wide-ranging discussion with pastor John Kirkwood.  The Sparrow's Call Voices in the Wilderness on YouTube Disciple Science Links Website: https://www.disciplescience.com/ Explore our videos: https://www.disciplescience.com/videos Listen to podcasts: https://www.disciplescience.com/podcast Donate: https://www.disciplescience.com/support Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/disciplescience https://twitter.com/DiscipleScience https://www.facebook.com/DiscipleScience.com

Many of us wrestle with two questions that we falsely believe are unrelated. How should I relate to nature and the environment around me and how should I relate to God? Old Testament scholar Dr. Sandra Richter's connects those two topics in her latest book, the delightfully readable and quotable, Stewards of Eden. In this episode we discuss her shared interests in Biblical scholarship and Christian Earth-keeping how the first pages of the Bible, the laws in the Torah and even the New Testament depict our participation in Gods kingdom intertwined with our relationship with the world around us.

Rev. Kyle Meyaard-Schaap is emerging as a voice of reason, wisdom and grace as Christians explore our relationship with the created world In this episode of the Disciple Science podcast hear Kyle and Dale talk about how he came to see care of creation as a central part of Christian discipleship (hint, it had something to do with his brothers dietary choices) and how we should view our relationship with the created order. This episode can also be viewed on YouTube here.  You can find Kyle at the Evangelical Environmental Network at https://creationcare.org/  Disciple Science Links Website: https://www.disciplescience.com/ Explore our videos: https://www.disciplescience.com/videos Listen to podcasts: https://www.disciplescience.com/podcast Donate: https://www.disciplescience.com/support Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/disciplescience https://twitter.com/DiscipleScience https://www.facebook.com/DiscipleScience.com

Christians at the intersection of ecology and faith: a conversation with Rev. Kyle Meyaard-Schaap (38)

The Galileo affair is often portrayed as a science vs. faith scenario where a narrow minded Catholic church punished an innovative scientist for trusting his data. However, the true story is much more complex and reveals lessons on wisdom that apply to every opportunity to defend your beliefs.

Why are so many Evangelicals walking away from the Christian Faith? Is Modern Science compatible with Christianity? Is a secular education or a fundamentalist upbringing the "slippery slope" that leads to deconstruction? This week's episode features an interview of Dr. Dale Gentry by John James Kirkwood and Kristine Johnson at the The Sparrow's Call, a ministry that seeks to reach those that have walked away from their faith. 

Science and spiritual deconstruction - Sparrow's call interview of Dale Gentry (36)

Science is always changing but the Biblical canon is fixed.  While that is technically true, it doesn't account for the subtle ways Biblical interpretation mimics scientific analysis. This video discusses how the transition from geocentrism to heliocentrism influenced our understanding of the Bible and Dr. Gentry presents his belief that Biblical interpretation functions like Thomas Kuhn's models of science.     Disciple Science Links:  Website: https://www.disciplescience.com/  Explore our videos: https://www.disciplescience.com/videos  Listen to podcasts: https://www.disciplescience.com/podcast  Donate: https://www.disciplescience.com/support  Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/disciplesci...  https://twitter.com/DiscipleScience  https://www.facebook.com/DiscipleScience

Toward a Harmonious Future: The Christian Church and Scientific Thought (part 3 of 3) (34)

The history of the relationship between science and Christianity can show us the source of the tension and produce insights on how to get out of the conflict paradigm. This is the second of a three part speaking engagement at Salem Covenant Church in New Brighton, MN on the history of the Christian church and scientific thought. My goal was to show that the source of the conflict is not between science and religion but in they ways we used science and understood scripture, two areas that can both be revised.   Disciple Science Links: Website: https://www.disciplescience.com/ Explore our videos: https://www.disciplescience.com/videos Listen to podcasts: https://www.disciplescience.com/podcast Donate: https://www.disciplescience.com/support Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/disciplescience https://twitter.com/DiscipleScience https://www.facebook.com/DiscipleScience.com

Retracing Our Steps: The Christian Church and Scientific Thought (part 1 of 3) (30)

The Bible is a book of science, but it is a book of ancient science, and that is just the way God wanted it to be.  In his latest book, The Bible & Ancient Science: Principles of Interpretation, Dr. Denis Lamoureux helps readers understand why scripture often doesn't align with modern science and why that isn't a problem. This conversation give further depth to our discussion of the influence of Copernicus and Galileo and the transition to heliocentrism and how to read the Bible in light of modern science.   Dr. Lamoureux's Coursera class - Science and Religion 101  The Bible and Ancient Science - Amazon  Disciple Science Links:   Website: https://www.disciplescience.com/   Explore our videos: https://www.disciplescience.com/videos   Listen to podcasts: https://www.disciplescience.com/podcast   Donate: https://www.disciplescience.com/support     Follow us:   https://www.instagram.com/disciplescience   https://twitter.com/DiscipleScience   https://www.facebook.com/DiscipleScience.com

The Bible and ancient science - Conversation with Dr. Denis Lamoureux

500 years ago almost everyone was certain that the earth was at the center of our solar system (geocentrism) but now we are certain that it is not (heliocentrism).  This podcast/vlog discusses that transition to provide context to the bigger debate about how to read the Bible.  In a later episode we will cover how these scientific findings were received by readers of the Bible and why they are so frequently mentioned when we discuss Biblical interpretation.

Why are we so confident about heliocentrism?

Dr. Elaine Howard Ecklund is a Professor of Sociology and director of the Religion and Public Life Program at Rice University.  Her recent book, "Why Science and Faith Need Each Other: 8 Shared Values that Move us Beyond Fear" takes a novel approach emphasizing similarities rather than differences between science and faith.
