    Episode 73 - Technology Won't Save Us (Carbon Capture)

    Release Date: 02/09/2022

    Description: There are two technologies that techno-optimists love to tout as our saviors, that which will save us in the future: Carbon Capture and Geoengineering.

    Sun Shades Won't Save Us From Climate Change

    Release Date: 08/03/2020

    Description: Space shades are often touted as our last hope if our climate change situation gets too out of control. If we can't keep carbon emissions down, we could just block the sun. I hear this option get thrown out very casually, but I've never seen a realistic look at what that would look like. How big would it need to be? How much would it cost? Wound it even work? So I decided to take a serious deep dive.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Ep. 9 | Luke 7 | Religion Won't Save Us,

    Release Date: 10/24/2022

    Description: We try to do all the "right things" as Christians, but there isn't a day that we don't mess up—again and again. Instead of ridiculing ourselves, the recognition of our shortcomings can be reminders of the extravagance of God's grace and encourage us to follow Him.In Luke 7 we see the religious leaders declare someone is "worthy" of Jesus because of what this person does and has (he helped pay to build a Jewish synagogue), but the man himself shows humility in knowing he is unworthy of even being in Jesus' presence.And Jesus declares that man's faith more powerful than anyone in Israel.In this episode, you will hear the contrast between those who think they are good enough for God—and those who know they are not. And you will have time to reflect and pray about your own gratitude for God's grace......SUBSCRIBE to the WELL SOUL MONTHLY.RESOURCES:Bible Study for Luke: Latte with Luke by Dr. Sandra Glahn.Videos for Luke: Bible Project Luke 1–9, Luke 10–24Well Soul Resources10 Questions to Ask for Spiritual RenewalIs it okay to question God?S.I.M.P.L.E.
