Here we are above Logan Pass on a hidden lake trail.

Rachel Amps family like to film home movies.

Still under snow cover.

Here they are at a park in Montana.

For a family video, it's funny how little Rachel's family actually appears.

There's Rachel at 15, she's wearing a ponytail and a high school volleyball sweatshirt, but

her dad pans the camera right past her and then he takes these long shots of a snowy glacier,

a frozen lake, a mountain goat, so close you could pet it.

And Rachel says this reverence for nature was something her dad always instilled.

My dad emphasized that like God created the world and the beauty of it.

Her father was the pastor of their evangelical church and he would talk in his sermons about loving God's creation.

Psalm 241, the earth is the Lord's and everything in it.

But were anyone to make the mistake of calling her father an environmentalist?

He would say no.

Oh well Democrats care about that and I as a Christian, I should be wary or skeptical about liberal issues.

I didn't even know you could study the environment until I was a senior in high school and I decided to take this intro to environmental science class.

I was like you know I've inherited skepticism about this.

So I took it and I was like oh wow, I was like a very intense reaction.

I remember feeling really like convicted.

Like the spirit convicted me like as a Christian I had to take this seriously and I had to do something about it.

Rachel started caring for environmental causes not despite her Christian faith but because of it.

It's biblical and so connected fundamentally to what it means to be a Christian why is it that all of these Christians that I knew didn't see it that way.
