Creation Care and Christian Faith with David Radcliff of New Community Project

In this episode of Faith in Process, Pastor Harry welcomes David Radcliff—director of the New Community Project and author of the Covenant Bible Series study God’s Earth. Our Home. David’s life and ministry are rooted in the belief that creation care, justice, and faith belong together.David shares how a formative trip to Central America reshaped his understanding of the world and launched him into decades of global service. We explore New Community Project’s partnerships in places like South Sudan, Nepal, Rwanda, Malawi, Borneo, and the Ecuadorian Amazon, where they support girls’ education, women’s empowerment, reforestation, and Indigenous defenders of threatened ecosystems.Closer to home, David describes the work of NCP’s Sustainable Living Centers in Harrisonburg, VA, and Starksboro, VT, where sustainable living is practiced, taught, and shared through community engagement.This conversation moves from ecological theology to climate realities, from global justice to personal transformation. David reminds us that hope grows when we “aim high and look low”—staying aware of the big challenges while finding inspiration in the small, faithful actions that change lives and landscapes.Join us as we explore:• The spiritual foundations of creation care• Why justice and sustainability are inseparable• How experiential learning transforms lives• What faithful stewardship looks like in a changing world• How we keep hope alive when the challenges feel overwhelmingA rich and grounded episode for anyone seeking to follow Jesus in ways that heal the earth and uplift its most vulnerable people.Faith in Process: Sunday’s CoolRecorded live on Sunday mornings at Pleasant Valley Church of the Brethren in Weyers Cave, Virginia.
