2-22-26 - The Ecology of Temptation
The readings for 1st Sunday in Lent are Genesis 2:15-17; 3:1-7, Psalm 32, Romans 5:12-19, and Matthew 4:1-11. This week we explore how removing a single predator from a coastal ecosystem caused biodiversity to collapse by 50%—and what this ecological lesson reveals about Jesus's temptation, human hubris, and our interconnectedness with creation. This First Sunday of Lent episode challenges us to slow down, practice humility, and consider the far-reaching consequences of our actions on both people and the natural world.
Remember to answer this week's question:
Where have you been humbled recently? #FaithandSciPod
