Summary

How can you respond to climate change with joy?  Those two words—climate change—can fill us with a sense of dread, anxiety, and doom. Those advocating action are often fueled by a sense of breakneck urgency. But for many, such an outlook isn’t motivating. It’s paralyzing. But what if there was another way filled with joy and satisfaction? “This is the work of our lifetime,” says Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, “so why don't we find ways to make it delightful?” In this episode, she explains why the climate crisis is no less dire than the news makes it seem, but why climate activism must be done with hope and joy to be sustainable.

Hi, friends, Annie F Downs here. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, distracted, or unsure where to

0:05.7

begin when it comes to reading scripture, I want to invite you to read the Gospels with me every

0:10.3

month. That's Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Every day on the Let's Read the Gospels podcast

0:15.8

is an invitation to slow down and spend intentional time with Jesus through Scripture.

0:21.3

I started reading through the Gospels in a month because I kept trying to read the whole Bible

0:25.3

in a year and would find myself getting behind and getting frustrated.

0:28.8

So I asked myself, what if I just started with the Gospels?

0:32.2

And it turns out I kept wanting to read them over and over, and it has changed my life.

0:37.6

If you do three chapters a day for 30 days, you get all four books read in a month, and we've

0:42.4

been doing that on the Let's Read the Gospels podcast for years now.

0:46.7

Every day on the Let's Read the Gospels podcast, we read three chapters, and then I end

0:51.5

with a prayer.

0:52.3

That's it.

0:52.8

It's simple, and each episode is around 15 minutes

0:55.5

of your day. Every month, we read a different version of the four Gospels and in different

1:00.4

order, so you can scroll back and pick your favorite, or you can just hit play on today's

1:04.8

episode and listen along with the version we've chosen for that month. I say it often because

1:10.2

I believe it. You don't have to

1:11.7

be in the Gospels every day to be changed, but every day you're in the Gospels will change you.

1:17.2

Subscribe today to the Let's Read the Gospels podcast and let's spend a month together reading about

1:21.8

Jesus's life and ministry on earth, the friendships, the parables, the sacrifices, the meals,

1:29.3

and the miracles. I promise you, it will change you. The Let's Read the Gospels podcast is available for you today.
