Together Podcast | A conversation about faith, justice and how to change the world

Erasto, Ugandan climate activist and youth coordinator, mobilises climate action from parliament, churches, and COP26. It's not too late to make a difference in the climate, but we do need just decisions from our world leaders. It may be a crisis, but it's not over yet - now is not the time to give up. 

Tune in for how the IPCC report has given us all the solutions we need, how faith trusts that it's in God's hands, and inspiration to get a move on to save our world.

As We Are Tearfund focuses on climate justice this November, Anna interviews Jack Alderson about how becoming a Christian transformed his view of justice. It’s a refreshing take on the Church and Bible’s role to reveal who Jesus is and a reminder that knowing Jesus does make a difference in our lives! 

We also get to know another new colleague Adam and his creative thoughts. Toby and (another) Jack talk about Lambeth Palace, meeting Archbishop Justin Wellby & their hopes for COP26. So make sure to tune in for a jam-packed episode of climate-related conversations with some laughs along the way.
