72. James Beck - Ngā Here, Eco Churches, and Pockets of Heaven on Earth

James Beck, is a speaker, facilitator, pastor, podcaster, author and eco-warrior.  We talk about the years James spent working with Attitude, helping shape the wellbeing of teenagers throughout Aotearoa, and his time at the Parenting Place. We also talk about James' passion for the environment and how that is impacting his work, his church, and his spirituality, as well as his own Podcast, Ngā Here, that brings the environment, the bible, and te ao Māori, the world of Māori, together. Check out the Wilberforce Foundation, A Rocha, and the Eco Church initiative.  Listen to Ngā Here on Spotify, Apple Music, or wherever you get your podcasts.  If you're in Christchurch and would like to connect with James' church, head to The River Ōpāwaho. And check out James' book on YouTube, or go and buy your copy from your local children's bookseller. ___ Connect with me at downtoearthconversations.com or at Facebook: facebook.com/downtoearth.conversations  Instagram: @downtoearth.conversations Email: [email protected]
