Interview with Fred Bahnson, co-author of Making Peace with the Land

Making Peace With The Land: Interview with Author Fred Bahnson

By Jason Fowler on 07/26/2012

Norman and I do both write from an agrarian perspective, but I think what we’re trying to do with this book is move beyond categories like “agrarian” or “creation care” and simply talk about Christ’s work of reconciliation and redemption.

Health for Godly Generations by Renee DeGroot

Health For Godly Generations (Book Excerpt)

By Jason Fowler on 02/05/2012

In her book Health for Godly Generations, the author Renee DeGroot has compiled a deeply thoughtful and provoking conversation…I consider this book to be a solid entry into the growing Christian conversation on health, food and the multi-faceted issues that surround this element of our lives.

Reclaim the Temple: Does food have a proper place in our hearts or is it an idol?

Reclaiming the Temple: Ponderings

By Pam Fowler on 01/09/2012

So, I have many things floating around in my mind. Many things I need to sort through. Sweet food is my way to de-stress. So I wonder; is that wrong to use food in this way? I don’t think it is. I believe that God created food to be much more than fuel…

A deep love for small things

A Love for Small Things

By Ragan Sutterfield on 11/01/2011

A deep love for small things forms and trains us to savor the world and to recognize the unsavory when it appears…While major protests and efforts against the forces of global extractive economies have their place, we have the opportunity daily to participate in a slower, more profound work…

Congregational Supported Agriculture (The Other CSA)

Joel Salatin, Wendell Berry and others call us to faithfulness in eating and agriculture (montage: J Fowler)

Worthy of Our Meat

By John Pattison on 01/13/2011
