  • Thinning the Veil

    This podcast has been a refreshing, almost meditative addition to my life. I look forward to each episode as a moment to take a deep breath, and give a thought for how to take caring for creation in our busy world seriously and thoughtfully. I end each episode with something to ponder, and an deeper appreciation for an aspect of life that maybe I can strive to do better at. I appreciate the conversation gears towards faith and wrestles with how our physical world is also a very spiritual one as ... more

  • Love the diverse perspectives

    One of my favorite podcasts! I always gain insights as well as often practical ideas about how to be a better “earth keeper.” I appreciate the diverse perspectives that share on this platform and the many angles that approach caring for nature…and each other! I also appreciate that they end each episode with hope, the antithesis of a lot of environmental content. The episodes where people read their responses I find harder to stay engaged with (usually the younger people who are featured do this... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ecotheology: Challenging the Church to Grow Beyond Old Paradigms, with Allison Gilmeister | Ep. 160
Q: How do you have authentic communication and also still reach people who are unreached by this type of messaging?
Gilmeister is still working out how to communicate honestly about climate change and creation care while choosing language and timing that respect audiences and avoid pushing Christian communities further into isolation.
Ecotheology: Challenging the Church to Grow Beyond Old Paradigms, with Allison Gilmeister | Ep. 160
Q: What was your relationship to creation like when you were younger?
Gilmeister loved playing outdoors, climbing trees and visiting Wisconsin's Northwoods. Those experiences were intertwined with her experience of God, even before she had language for that connection.
The Air We Share: On Breathwork, with Christine Sine and Jason Lyle | Ep. 159
Q: So I wonder if I could actually ask each of you to as succinctly as you can define breath work as you understand it, and maybe talk about how is you teach out of that understanding of breath work?
Breath work is a process that connects the breath to the mind and body, bringing the rational brain online to regulate emotion and expand the window of tolerance, while grounding the practitioner in the present moment and in a sense of belonging to something larger—often through a communal and spiritual framework.
Combating Hunger through Sustainable Farming, with Abram Bicksler of ECHO | Ep. 158
Q: Tell us about Echo's core values and how they translate into your global work.
Echo operates as a Christian nonprofit that partners with diverse change agents to strengthen capacity for sustainable food and agro-ecosystem strategies, with a clear motivation to glorify God and love neighbors by defeating hunger and improving lives.
The Rewilded Heart: Kathleen Audet Interviews Forrest Inslee | Ep. 150
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about Circlewood, and share a moment when someone's relationship with the earth shifted as they started treating it as a spiritual practice?
Circlewood serves many church traditions with greener faith practices and a holistic theology. A notable shift described is when a listener named Rachel began rescuing earthworms and integrating that practice into family life, illustrating a move from seeing care as lifestyle to viewing it as a spiritual discipline connected to meaning, community, and creation.
