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!

Saying No To New

New things are everywhere—and they’re causing us to disconnect from what we value most.

In a world that constantly tells us that new is better, our relentless pursuit of material wealth is costing us money, time and happiness. Worse, when we define ourselves by what we own rather than who we are, we reduce our lives to a single, superficial dimension.

On today’s show, New York Times journalist Eric Athas offers advice for stepping away from the cycle of constant buying, saying no to shallowness, and discovering the right kind of “new” in our lives.

Here's a preview:

[8:00] We're wired to become bored the familiar, and other truths to newness

[16:00] Consumption has costs! (In fact, it robs us of our finite attention, dilutes our capacity for genuine enjoyment, and misaligns our pursuit of happiness.)

[26:00] Musings on the ways in which overconsumption leads to superficiality

[37:00] Put down the trinket! Redefining what it means to experience novelty, growth, and freshness without relying on a transaction
