Today I am joined by Dr. Sandra Richter, author, speaker, and Old Testament scholar from Westmont College in California. In this episode Dr. Richter and I discuss: * Her love for nature * Her journey into being an environmentalist * Opportunities she's received to speak and write about stewardship * What stewardship is and means * Misinterpretations of "dominion" as exploitation rather than care * The unfortunate politicization of environmental action * And more!

When it comes to doing something about climate change, your food choices matter. Thanks for tuning in to Eating for Eden, a podcast that takes a food-first approach to climate action. We've been given a beautiful garden to steward. It may seem like a small thing, but the food we eat plays a massive role in either contributing to or lessening carbon emissions. I'm here to help you decide with intention what you're putting on your plate and into your mouth (and thoroughly enjoy your food along the way). . . . Your impact goes further when you share what you've learned! Share this episode with a friend.
