It's finally Spring, so we decided to talk about caring for our planet. Our friend, Andrew Fritz REALLY cares about taking care of our planet. He lives it in his daily life through his work with the Soil and Water Conservation District, the Gleaning Garden and Conspire. In this episode, he shares how he met God out in the woods as a child. He learned about death and resurrection, grace and mercy through his interactions with God in creation.
