In part two of our Sept series, J.D. and David share with us about:

📚Reliable research & resources in the creation care conversation,

⚠️ What concerns they have about the state of the earth, and

⭐️ What gives them great hope for the future of creation.

This is an incredibly meaningful conversation, where we are reminded not to despair or live with toxic positivity… but to lament & live with hope. God is a restoring, creating God. 🌍🌷🐋

Let me tell you about my friends, David and J.D….
