SUMMARY:Nurture the Soul Special Offering: "What's Next"\, The Flourishing Body with Rev. Dr. Beverly Dale
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with a sex-positive Disciple of Christ Pastor\, Rev. Dr. Beverly Dale whose ministerial call is to help Christians rethink the 2000 year-old Christian teaching about our sexual bodies when many have been harmful to intimate relationships and dampened our joy of being spiritual in all of our physicality. We’ll explore how the recent political election is\, in part\, a result of some of the cultural teachings of what is known as The Empire Church about the body and why it is so important to recognize the ongoing danger this represents to our culture and the planet. \nAnd\, we’ll take a deep dive to explore the difference between religious beliefs and faith\, and whether we need to obey religious rules about sexual intimacy and what it is to be authentic in our spiritual life. (found in her first book\, Advancing Sexual Health for the Christian Client\, Data and Dogma.)

SUMMARY:From a Toxic Media to a Toxic Environment
DESCRIPTION:Media in our society can have a decisive influence on everything from elections to the quality of the very air we breathe. It can shape and inform the demands of a public and the political will of those in office. In short\, a toxic media can lead to a toxic government and\, literally\, a toxic environment. This is evident in the influence that media conglomerates like Fox can have on matters as vital as the climate crisis. In this webinar\, we will hear from three guest panelists who will help us to understand our current media landscape\, how it impacts the climate crisis\, and what we can do about it. \n-Allison Fisher\, Program Director for Climate and Energy\, Media Matters for America \n-Elyse Martin\, Manager of Persuasion Research & Campaigns\, Environmental Defense Fund \n-Cheryl A. Leanza\, Policy Advisor\, UCC Media Justice \nEven if you cannot make the webinar at its scheduled time\, still sign-up\, and we will send you a link to a recording of it. \nThis monthly installment of Creation Justice Webinars is co-hosted by the Rev. Dr. Brooks Berndt who serves as the Minister of Environmental Justice for the United Church of Christ and the Rev. Michael Malcom who serves as the Executive Director for Alabama Interfaith Power & Light and the People’s Justice Council.

SUMMARY:Nurture the Soul's Reading Into the New Year: The Recovery of Joy while Living with Depression with Robert Griggs
DESCRIPTION:At the start of every year\, Nurture the Soul partners with Pilgrim Press to highlight books that came out in the last quarter of the previous year or are forthcoming. We have an exciting list of topics and authors to highlight this January including Author and Pastor Robert Griggs. \nAt a time when we’re all looking for hope\, his book\, “Wild Coin Hunting: The Recovery of Joy while Living with Depression”\, offers hope for people living with mental illness and their loved ones. Drawing from his own experience of recovering from depression\, as well as what others have taught me along the way\, it shows that a full and joyful life is possible after the devastation of mental illness. There’s honesty about pain\, but there’s also laughter\, as he shares recovery stories from his adventures as the founder of a great new sport\, “wild coin hunting”

SUMMARY:Nurture the Soul's Reading Into the New Year: "Don't Just Give Me That Old Time Religion" with Rev. Dr. Christine Y. Wiley
DESCRIPTION:At the start of every year\, Nurture the Soul partners with Pilgrim Press to highlight books that came out in the last quarter of the previous year or are forthcoming. We have an exciting list of topics and authors to highlight this January including Author and Rev. Dr. Christine Y Wiley. \nRev.
