It is Good
God and Place
In this message, Pastor T. C. teaches on the difference between land and place. Attaching sacred meaning to the land can point us to God or it can become a satanic dividing wall. We are called to seeking the renewal of our city, but we must not mistake the sign (place) for the signified (God).
Black Farmers
In this message, author and minister, Jerusalem Greer, shares how she discovered the connections between creation care, incarnational theology, and racial justice through the hashtag “Black Farmers.”
Upstream Shalom
In this message, Pastor T. C. connects Roots’ value of shalom (in all four dimensions: God, self, others, world) with confronting the challenge of global warming. We will not prevent the most costly consequences of climate change with individualistic solutions. We need to look ‘upstream’ to systemic solutions.
Give a Care
In this sermon, Emily Morrison helps us understand the connection between our “eschatology” (our view of the “end times” or Jesus’s return) and our approach to creation care. She reminds us that God is making “all things new” *not* “all new things.”
Creation & Spirituality
In this message, Pastor Osheta shares about the ways creation plays a vital part in our spirituality and points to a fascinating resource called “The 3-Day Effect: How Nature Calms Our Brains” by Florence Williams.
