Habitat: Thinking Theologically About the Environment

December 13

All around the world, people are experiencing the effects of climate change and ecological disasters right now, today, this very moment. What should Christians do about it? 

Far too often, we find ourselves paralyzed by climate anxiety or hushed by the trumpet of polarizing debate. Yet Christians and congregations are called to engage faithfully and hopefully with pressing, emotionally charged issues—even those that are too often relegated to “politics.

The truth is, both Scripture and theology have much to contribute to the conversation. In Habitat: Thinking Theologically About the Environment, you’ll discover why environmental stewardship is a natural extension of our spiritual lives and address the climate crisis through a lens of hope. 

Drawing insights from a broad spectrum of voices—farmers, tech innovators, activists, theologians, biblical scholars, and everyday Christians—the course explores practical ways for individuals and communities to care for creation in productive, nonpartisan ways.

Key Takeaways

  • Why issues of sustainability are tightly tethered to the life of faith.
  • The theological, scriptural, and spiritual dimensions of environmental stewardship.
  • How to nurture hope in the face of climate anxiety.
  • Faithful, nonpartisan ways to address environmental policy and take manageable action towards change, as individuals and in community.
  • What compassion, gratitude, and justice have to do with loving and protecting God’s good earth.
  • How to listen for God’s voice in the emotions surrounding climate change, looking for signs of hope and resting in God’s faithfulness.
  • The myriad ways other everyday believers—from a farmer to an environmental technology worker—have adopted daily sustainable practices.
