In this episode Logan Long and Seth Weber discuss how we as Christians are called to steward the earth that God has created. We look at a Biblical foundation starting in Genesis at creation for the idea that man is to work and keep the garden, talk about some of the environmental issues that are caused by man's sin, and look at the hope we have in Christ that leads us to aim for faithful stewardship through gratitude for all that God has blessed us with and the desire to love others.

In this episode we explore God's design for humanity and some of the specific implications for today regarding marriage and sexuality, gender, stewardship of the earth, and more.

In this episode we explore God's design for humanity. Understanding this will give us the foundation we need to answer questions like:

• Who are we?
• What is our purpose?
• What is the meaning of life?
• How do we relate to our creator?
• How do we relate to the creation around us?

Today on the Faith Matters podcast Global Outreach Partner Joe Grewe joins us to share his story and an update on the Grewe family. Listen to learn about the ministry work he and his wife Hannah, have been doing with the church and seminary in Leon, Spain and their future plans.
