Abbey and Madison practice a bit of ecotheology in this special episode of Bristlecone Firesides in an attempt to demonstrate that Christianity is a natural religion. The Earth lives a continual pattern of change that enables the ever regeneration of life. From the seasons to the water cycle, the Earth forever in a state or process of change. This pattern of order, disorder, reorder is the pattern of the Gospel — Life, Death, and Resurrection. The magic in the universe is that dead things become the grounding for new life. In the life and death of Jesus, this becomes a Resurrection Journey.
By re-grounding the good news of the Gospel in natural Earth processes, we see that the Gospel is a force of nature bigger than any Church. And that Faith is much more about saying “yes” to this Journey and experiencing our membership in the Family of Things
