The Faith and Science Podcast

3 Year Birthday And A Huge Thank you!

Hey Everyone,
 
We made it!  We have made it through the liturgical cycle.  I figured this worth celebrating with a short podcast with some updates to know what's coming in the future.
 
Thanks again for all your support,
Tyler Bublitz

Merry Christmas,
The readings for this week are Isaiah 61:10—62:3, Psalm 148, Galatians 4:4-7, and Luke 2:22-40. This week we look at how we can bring restoration and change to our ecosystems. We can see that wolves and sea otters do it for theirs, why can't we do it in our lives?  Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.Remember to answer this week's question:Where are we (you) making significant impact? In our own lives, how are we bringing life into our ecosystem? #faithandscipodcast
