In this episode, I have my friend Trevor on to discuss this somewhat controversial chapter. He is a pastor of a local church and is immersed in developing a meaningful community in the context he is in. Throughout our conversation, we attempt to answer three questions:

  1. Do we agree with the claims of the authors? Why or why not?
  2. Is there an alternative social or economic structure that you think better resembles the Kingdom of God?
  3. What practical steps can we take to care for other people within our current structures?

The essence of a homeland is not only derived from the geographical location we occupy. An understanding of homeland arrises within an individual who has developed in a place and has learned to see the place for what it is. They can see what is good and what is harmful, they have an understanding of where the place once was and where it is headed, they care for the people around them and are also cared for, and they yearn for the ecosystems and people to return or maintain healthy, harmonious rhythms.

For this momentous episode, I read an excerpt from Wendell Berry's essay called "One being asked for A Narrative for the Future."

The first episode of 2019 is another reflection from the book "Food and Faith" by Norman Wirzba. This book is what started the entire process of looking critically at how we experience food and contribute to the community or environment around us. I try to challenge the idea of taking food as merely utilitarian consumption but rather observe it with more sacred intention.

This week I have a conversation with my friend Caleb about the significance of food in our lives after he reads a Blessing to The Land. We talk about how to show care for how or what we eat and the impact that has on the world around us. The audio on his side isn't the best but I think the conversation is worth listening to.

After reading a paragraph from “Food and Faith” by Norman Wirzba in the chapter Thinking Theologically about Food, I share a few points on what I enjoy and then dive into why I'm not vegan.

A week of existentialism seemed appropriate after the last few being based on ecology. For this episode, I’ll be using a quote by Søren Kierkegaard from the book Fear and Trembling. I talk about looking at ideal goals in a way that we aren't overwhelmed by the steps to get there and relate it to my National Geographic aspirations.

We return to Olof Alexandersson’s book called “Living Water” with the subtitle of Viktor Schauberger and the Secrets of Natural Energy. For this reading, we continue in the chapter called The Life and Death of the Forest. Alexandersson concludes by summarizing Schauberger's understanding of the forest in 5 succinct points that I read and share my own anecdote.

This weeks' reading is from Olof Alexandersson and the book is called “Living Water” with the subtitle of "Viktor Schauberger and the Secrets of Natural Energy." This book was shown to me by a co-worker and I admit I haven’t had time to read it all the way through but from the chapters and introductions to who Shauberger was, I think there are some fascinating points to share. Alexandersson does a really good job at laying out the ideas of Shauberger and his early observations of nature and its progression.

I read from “Is Honey Vegan?” By A.R.L. Garlow from the chapter Does Eating Honey Harm Bees? Primarily, I discuss the process of caring for animals or plants in a way that enables them to produce abundantly and then in return we receive their byproducts as a gift rather than simply taking.

This episode I read the last paragraph from “Is Honey Vegan?” by A.R.L. Garlow. It's a quick read with lots of information but I have a few minor disagreements with the last paragraph as well as some other secondary points. I share a bit about my own early experience beekeeping and my hope to avoid isolating us from engaging with the production of animal byproducts.

The reading is from Wendell Berry’s book, “What are People for?” in the essay, An Argument for Diversity. I discuss the economic pressures that occur when people buy into the consumer culture rather than returning to their producing origin. Not only are there financial consequesnses but enviromental.

The statistics I read in the episode are from https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/96-325-x/2014001/article/11905-eng.htm

This episode I read from Wendell Berry’s book, “What are People for?” in the first third that consists of poetry from the poem called Healing. There are multiple parts but starting with the first two for now. I talk about the balance between community, loneliness and the attempt to come up with creative solutions to problems.

In this episode, I read another paragraph from Peter Denton's book, "Gift Ecology." We have all had conversations where someone gets upset or simply refuses to carry on the conversation in a constructive manner so I try to offer some insight based on my own experiences. I found the paragraph in todays reading very useful when contemplating what change in a person may look like.

I recently started reading "Gift Ecology" by Peter Denton and really enjoy it so far. In this episode, I talk about how our minds don't change with mere facts or stats but primarily through an emotional connection from stories.

For this episode, I have another quote from a pretty popular existentialist, Jean Paul Sartre. I talk about our responsibility to make good choices and embrace the burden of freedom, rather than passively accept it. I hope you enjoy my attempts to relate existentialist quotes to ecology and if you have any books or thinkers relating to the topics just let me know.

The reading is a short quote from Soren Kierkegaard himself, which means this episode might be short because I definitely don't claim to be proficient at interpreting a lot of what he discusses but I enjoy trying to relate it to life and ecology.

This episode’s paragraph comes from Norman Wirzba’s book “Food & Faith” in the chapter The "Roots" of Eating: Our Life Together in Gardens. Like I mentioned last time, this book has drastically altered my outlook on numerous topics related to our relationship with food, land, and the environment in general. I discuss our disconnect from the wisdom of the place, which results in irresponsible decisions and disregard for the ramifications of our interactions with the land.

In this episode, I read a paragraph from Norman Wirzba's book, "Food & Faith." The paragraph covers the importance of gardening and its' connection to culture. I want to apologize for the plethora of um's, I'm still getting the hang of talking alone and with each episode, I hope to improve.

My goal for this podcast is to simply share a paragraph or quote from thinkers who have written on either of the topics and give a few of my thoughts. I admire both ideologies and hope to simply spread their brilliance. This week I’ll be reading a paragraph from Wendell Berry’s book, “What are People For?,” in the essay God and Country.
