Birds: Friend or Foe? Becca Black Revisited

What do hiking boots, gas station snacks, and a deep love for the earth have in common? In this episode, we sit down with Becca Black—ecologist and senior in BYU’s Wildlife and Wildlands Conservation program—for a conversation about faith, stewardship, and finding God in the natural world. From long hikes in Wisconsin to getting snacks at Kwik Trip, Becca shares how she came to see ecology as both a calling and a spiritual practice. Now serving as Communications Co-Director for Grow the Flow, a nonprofit working to preserve the Great Salt Lake, Becca opens up about the personal experiences that led her to environmental advocacy. Together with the Josh and Lia, she reflects on sacred experiences in nature and what it means to care for creation.
