Eco Conscious Christianity

Eco Conscious Christianity with Lisa M.

 

Meet Lisa from Adelaide, Australia. Lisa is a long-time podcast listener who believes that eco conscious living is the ultimate expression of her Christian faith. She excels at reducing carbon emissions from transportation (her family only has one vehicle, and it’s an electric car), but she has trouble cutting down on soft plastics.

In our conversation today, Lisa imparts the hopeful truth that one person has the power to change the trajectory of others’ lives.

Here’s a preview of our conversation:

[3:00] The Australian bushfires of 2020: Were they are wake up call, or are they an unfortunate thing of the past?

[14:00] Why Lisa believes that having children is an expression of hope

[15:40] Tangible ways to impart eco conscious values onto our children

[18:45] Practical ways to build up barriers to purchasing (without feeling deprived)

 

I’m so excited for you to meet Lisa!

 

[A note from Stephanie: This is the first episode in a 5-episode series that features podcast listeners just like you. My goal with these bonus episodes is to highlight real people—their real successes, their real challenges—as they seek simpler, more intentional existences.]

Eco conscious living helps the planet; its the ultimate expression of religious and spiritual faith, too. Here's why.

  1. Really excited for this series where you talk with some of your listeners! This episode in particular seemed similar to your interview episodes, but you mentioned trying out a more casual approach for this series. I enjoy listening to your interviews, but also looking forward to hearing more casual conservations!

    1. Thank you for this feedback, Celena. I’m over here thinking I’m super casual, but it seems I have work to do! I’ll keep working on it. Thank you!

Unhappy? You're Normal

Cultural messaging and suggests you should be happy all the time. But your "happy chemicals"—dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphin—evolved to motivate survival behavior, not make you happy.

In fact, unhappiness is your brain's default state.

On today's show Dr. Loretta Breuning argues that you can manage your happy chemicals when you know how they work in the state of nature, and she's here to show us how.

Here's a preview:

[9:00] Serotonin is about social dominance. Enter comparison and competition

[13:00] Want a dose of oxytocin? Be part of a herd

[15:30] Endorphin is the brain's natural opioid. But you can habituate to it!

[18:00] Just got something you want? That flood of happiness is dopamine's doing, but dopamine runs out

[25:00] We are living in an era of immense abundance. So why aren't we happy?
