SHOW NOTES:

As Indigenous followers of Jesus, we understand that the earth is a sacred trust. God created the earth and placed humans in His creation. He asked the First Man and First Woman to take care of the Garden.

Let’s explore what it means to wisely steward the care of God’s creation as a follower of Jesus. I do not want you to respond out of guilt, but to act out of a deep-seated love for the Creator of All Things and to care for His creation.

Through a faith-based lens, you can move from simple environmentalism to Creation Care. God's Creation is not just a resource to exploit or neglect but a sacred gift that requires responsibility, humility, and love.
