In this episode, we sit down with Albarka Wakili, a Master of Divinity student at Drew Theological School and a 2025 GreenFaith Rising Leader Fellow. Originally from Nigeria, Albarka shares how his name—meaning blessing—guides his path, and how his journey across continents has deepened his faith. He opens up about witnessing climate change firsthand, the hope that sustains him, and the moment he realized faith, justice, and the environment are inseparable. From tending Drew’s Theo Community Garden to engaging in global initiatives and meeting leaders like Ban Ki-Moon, Albarka reflects on how working with the soil reveals God’s presence in creation. With wisdom and humility, he offers practical steps for young people who want to care for the earth, bridging the sacred and the practical in everyday life.
