04: Towards a Stewardship of Belonging

web of belonging

Today’s guests around the Fireside are Kristen Rogers-Iverson and Tiffany Ivins Spence. They are among the co-leads of the LDS Earth Stewardship Salt Lake City Chapter. Kristen is the author of Interwoven: Junipers and the Web of Being and Tiffany runs Living Zenith, the first net-zero commercial building company in Utah, with her husband.

Kristen and Tiffany join Madison (Abbey sadly had a scheduling conflict)  to discuss the topic of Stewardship. This idea is central to what exactly our responsibility is to Creation and how we act as stewards going forward. So it is crucial we understand it well. What exactly is the nature of our relationship with the Earth and its inhabitants? How are we to act in accordance with this relationship? And are there new and better ways to understand familiar stories that can aid us in confronting the challenges of Climate Change, ecosystem collapse, and the Anthropocene?
