Young Evangelicals and Climate Change with Tori Goebel (45)

Young Evangelicals and Climate Change with Tori Goebel (45)

The church is waking up to the climate crisis, in part because the youth among us insist that we do. In this episode, I talk with Tori Goebel, national organizer and spokesperson for Young Evangelicals for Climate Action (YECA). They have taken the lead in preparing young people to lead the discussion on climate in the church and community. We discuss how young Christians see the environmental movement, what type of actions they want to take to fight climate change, if they should talk with their parents about these issues, and the inspiring stories of the young leaders coming out of Young Evangelicals for Climate Action. 

This links to the article on fathers and daughters and climate discussions.

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

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

What the Galileo affair can teach us about the origins debate (37)

What the Galileo affair can teach us about the origins debate (37)

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.

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

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

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.

Retracing Our Steps: The Christian Church and Scientific Thought (part 2 of 3) (33)

Retracing Our Steps: The Christian Church and Scientific Thought (part 2 of 3) (33)

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.

This is the first 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 how the current model of conflict between science and Christianity has not always been, and does not necessarily need to persist.

Is an evolving creation compatible with the Bible? (16)

Is an evolving creation compatible with the Bible? (16)

Christians see the Bible as the inspired word of God.  So we usually check for compatibility with any idea in science, or any other field, to confirm that it fits with what we learn from scripture.  In this episode I will take a big picture perspective to review the first few chapters of Genesis as well as select verses from the New Testament, to determine if Evolutionary Creationism is compatible with a high view of scripture.

The book, The Lost World of Genesis One is a great book by Old Testament expert John Walton that outlines the idea that Genesis One is describing the inauguration of the earth as a temple.  Link to the book through Amazon https://amzn.to/2T5SoyJ

The book, The Lost World of Adam and Eve is another great book by John Walton outlining views on Adam and Eve in Genesis 2 and 3.  Link to the book trough Amazon https://amzn.to/397uHvu

What tools do you need to find God in nature? (11)

Should an active imagination be a part of your journey of faith?  The abundance of poetry in the scriptures and the rich metaphors describing God suggest that you do, but should it also be part of our search for meaning from creation?

The book Re-imaging Nature: The Promise of a Christian Natural Theology was an important resource for this episode.

Science and faith in the eyes of emerging adults: Conversation with Greg Cootsona (6)

Science and faith in the eyes of emerging adults: Conversation with Greg Cootsona (6)

Do emerging adults see the relationship between science and faith in a different way?   Dale speaks with Greg Cootsona, author of Mere Science and Christian Faith: Bridging the Divide with Emerging Adults, to talk about modern views on the intersection of science and faith, and how the emergence of technology and the internet is transforming our perceptions of the relationship? 

Greg Cootsona teaches in the department of comparative religion and humanities at California State University at Chico.  Greg directs Science for the Church, a project designed to bring the resources of science to strengthen congregational life. From 2016 to early 2019, he directed the Science and Theology for Emerging Adult Ministries at Fuller Seminary. Greg served as a pastor for 18 years, and he is published on numerous topics, recently focusing on the intersection of science and faith. He has authored the book Mere Science and Christian Faith: Bridging the Divide with Emerging Adults, which was published in 2018 by InterVarsity Press, and his book Negotiating Science and Religion in America: Past, Present, and Future will be published by Routledge Press next month. Greg also serves as an advisor to Biologos, DoSER (Dialogue on Science Ethics and Religion from the AAAS), Sinai and Synapses, and the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences.
