“Sages are the Faith Leaders Are Critical To this Movement” October 06, 2022
Veteran environmental advocate Heather White talks about her new book, One Green Thing: Discover Your Hidden Power to Save the Earth.   Combatting eco-anxiety – a chronic fear of environmental doom - impacts young people in ways most older Americans may not see or recognize.  She cites three factors – hyper-awareness of ecological and climate change, chronic loneliness, and a rise in generalized anxiety.  White urges everyone to consider taking a self-assessment profile and take the 21-day challenge.  She shares the profiles of three faith leaders who she describes in her book as “sages” and explains why they are critical to fostering an intergenerational movement.

“Grappling with the Seeds of Doubt” October 06, 2022
Producer Kimberly Winston interviews Dr. Katey Walter Anthony, author of Chasing Lakes: Love, Science and the Secrets of the Arctic, about how science and faith intersect in her life. Raised as a Christian, Dr. Anthony became an atheist, but when she felt the pull of faith again, she worried it could affect how her peers in science view her. Dr. Anthony is a "limnologist," someone who studies lakes, and has been named a National Geographic "Emerging Explorer." She is currently a professor at The University of Alaska in Fairbanks.
