Matter matters
This week Dan interviews Michelle Kennedy, founder of Six Generations, and discuss God’s good creation of the earth, our God-given job of stewarding it, some reflections on how we are doing at that and how we need to in the future.
What does it mean to be the temple of the Holy Spirit? If matter is good, then we have some rewiring to do. Creation has been made like a temple, with a trajectory and an order, and we are to partner with God to enjoy working in it and steward it as image bearers – but we are not Lord over it.
As we being our series, we get our bearings for what looking at Christ-centred materiality will be all about. We explore the New Testament and Early church rejections of Platonic Dualism and discover how they aren’t just a problem for back then, but they live on today in many polar divisions in culture and the Church.
