US healthcare emits a massive amount of carbon pollution at approximately 600 million tons annually or roughly 9% of total US greenhouse gasses. Because of the rapid increase in climate crisis-related harms projected economic losses worldwide over the next few years are estimated in the trillions. Consequently, the US is beginning to follow Brazil, Canada, France, Japan, Switzerland and the UK in mandating GHG emission and climate-risk disclosures. Most noteworthy, in April 2022 the Security Exchange Commissions (SEC) issued a proposed rule, anticipated to go final this month, that will require publicly traded companies to disclose information about climate-related financial risks and financial metrics to inform investors in making corporate investment and voting decisions. Just recently the California governor signed a “Climate Accountability Package,” the White House in late September charged the OMB to work with fed agencies to measure GHG emissions in order to calculate impacts on fed programs and the European Union has moved related reporting regulations that will impact American companies doing business overseas. During this 34 minute interview Ms. Hanawalt begins by outlining the proposed SEC climate disclosure rule. She next outlines CA's “Climate Accountability Package (S253 and S261) that address CA reporting for different sized private and public companies and discusses related European Union regulatory rules. Ms. Cynthia Hanawalt is the Director of the Sabin Center's financial regulation practice. Her work supports regulatory and policy responses to climate-related financial risk at the federal and state level and includes a focus on the complex intersections of ESG and antitrust law with sustainability goals and climate resiliency measures. Ms. Hanawalt is affiliated with Columbia Climate School and the Initiative for Climate Risk & Resilience Law. Prior to joining the Sabin Center, Ms. Hanawalt served as Chief of the Investor Protection Bureau for the New York State Office of the Attorney General and was a litigation partner at the firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld. She was graduated from Columbia Law School where she was a Harlan Fiske Stone Scholar and Duke University where she received the William J. Griffith University Service Award.For more information regarding climate disclosure see these Sabin Center writings:https://blogs.law.columbia.edu/climatechange/2023/08/08/new-california-legislation-would-be-a-major-step-forward-for-climate-disclosure/https://blogs.law.columbia.edu/climatechange/2023/03/28/global-consensus-is-emerging-on-corporate-scope-3-disclosures-will-the-sec-lead-or-lag/ This is a public episode.

As an avid reader of mommy blogs 10 years BEFORE I became a mom myself, the conversation around (and about) motherhood has done a lot of shifting in the last two decades. In this episode, I'm joined by journalist Zara Hanawalt to discuss these shifts. From new language that has emerged to help us paint a more realistic picture of mom life, to how best to consume all of the motherhood media available, to the topics still not getting the attention they deserve – we're talking about it all!

This week we honor the way our Co-Founding Pastor Kyle Hanawalt has shaped our community forever.
For Mother's Day this year, we're thrilled to welcome special guest Cheryll Hanawalt, mother of our co-pastor Kyle. Kyle interviews his mom about motherhood, God, healthy spirituality, and community.
We collected awesome, honest questions from people in our community about how it's hard to believe in an all-parts loving, no-parts punishing God. Hayley, Kyle, and Vince (our pastors) have found there ARE actually satisfying responses to these hard questions, that can free us up to feel spiritually alive and active. Even better: there are a number of them. We don't all have to come to the exact same conclusions…
How we long for change and justice to come about in one fell swoop! But Revolution never seems to happen that way. Does that mean it's not worth hoping for? When we hold together the traditional Palm Sunday story (of Jesus entering Jerusalem as a triumphant King) with the traditional Holy Week stories (of Jesus exiting Jerusalem en route to his execution), we get a picture of Revolution that isn't “one fell swoop”, but it is participatory and resilient — and that IS worth hoping in.
After a week of senseless violence against people of Asian descent, after a year of inexcusable public scapegoating of people of Asian descent (behavior that, for much of our country's history, has persisted without acknowledgement), this Sunday is a day to commit again to the very heart of the Jesus way: interrupting scapegoating.
When we're younger, our dreams for the future are often born from a place of imagination and wonder. As we mature, we learn that, unexpectedly, loss and challenge can also be a birthplace for dreams for our future (maybe the best birthplace). Kyle and Hayley discuss...
(We experienced technical difficulties this week, please forgive the poor audio quality!)The yearly rhythm of observing Lent (which began this week) gets us considering how "death and resurrection" or "loss and renewal" are the shape of life. After nearly a year of pandemic life, none of us have to be reminded that death and loss are a part of life. Kyle wonders if that means observing Lent might be particularly good for our souls this year.
First... a brief comment on MLK weekend. Then... most of the reading we do day-in, day-out is reactive: The news of what just happened or the latest takes and opinions on the world. And that's not necessarily bad. But what we have to be more intentional about to work into our diet is non-reactive reading: Reading that forms us, inspires us, or challenges us, separate from our never-ending news feeds. Non-reactive reading is a key ingredient to spiritual health and growth for many, and this Sunday Kyle leads us in considering a number of options we might try.
For many of the problems we are personally navigating, there are no simple solutions. Because many problems don't come down to isolated issues, they come down to the systems of our society or religion or government (or family unit even) themselves. Special guest Cara Carothers, an advocate for educational equity, joins us to talk about how we can hope and fight even so.
For some of us, America's political divide hits very close to home. BLC's Christina Culver and Kyle Hanawalt discuss how faith can offer a way to feel hope about the future even if we never experience someone changing their mind. When is it right to say something, and when is it right to not? What are healthy boundaries to protect that hope?
We are not bad or faulty for needing to brush our teeth everyday; it's just good hygiene. Likewise, we are not bad or faulty for having to lay down the same burdens continually, for having to pray regularly for the same resolve again and again, for needing the same thing we did yesterday; that's just good spiritual hygiene.
It's no surprise that white American Christianity has chosen Donald Trump as its leader when for decades its prevailing use for Jesus on the Cross has been “motivation by fear of punishment from a strongman, violent God”. What an unhealthy, worthless picture of God! BLC stakeholder Abby Dye helps us discover Jesus on the Cross as a totally different (and inspiring) picture of God that models a totally different kind of leadership: self-sacrificial love.
#DefundCPD's message is "the safest neighborhoods have more resources, not more police." Yet, one day of Chicago's budget for police ($4 million!) accounts for 32 months of its budget for Violence Protection Programs. BLC stakeholders Laura & Leicester Mitchell share with us about "Jesus, the revolutionary" and their work with #DefundCPD, as we continue to try to shift the American narrative about God away from Trump-backing, white, conservative evangelicalism.
Constant movement instead of strict adherence, defending those without power instead of those with power -- BLC's old friend Joey Rodil shows us how Jesus' descriptions and modeling of his own mission can help shift our narrative about faith (and our experience of it) away from typical white American Christian notions.
It should break our brains that the biggest reason we might get four more years of Donald Trump as president is American Christians. What if our church could help shift the narrative in our country about who God is, and whose side God is on? One of BLC's resident theologians Hayley Larson leads us through our first starting point for answering the question "who is Jesus?" — the God who became human.
Not much about what we might accomplish or where we might be in the future feels imaginable right now. But what we can imagine is who we want to be: our character, our integrity, our values. Kyle leads us in a prayer practice of imagining ourselves 5 years from now.
Kyle brings us to the comfort of God in the matters we have no control over, and brings us to the challenge of God in the matters we do have control over.
Building authentic relationships with people requires getting in touch with what's really going on inside us. Kyle walks us through a prayer practice that can help.
Spiritual fulfillment is something human beings long for, but Jesus suggested it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich (or privileged) person to find it. Vince shares some of the more humbling experiences on his journey of finding spiritual fulfillment by learning to align himself with the oppressed, rather than with his privilege.
BLC's Hayley Larson shares with us from both her personal story and professional studies how feminist language, images, and actions help us see the God Jesus reveals more fully, and how relying exclusively on male reference points is dangerous to faith.
With help from BLC's Maria Santillan, we consider how, in the same way microaggressions reinforce systemic racism in America, spiritual microaggressions in church settings reinforce systemic marginalizing of people whose family or culture don't pre-dispose them to understand or be able to navigate American churches. Our church considers this a fight for equity — for the important perspective of church outsiders, like Maria, to be valued in spiritual conversations.
Touching on a theology of liberation, joy, and suffering that connects Jesus' cross to the lynching of Black Americans, BLC's Leicester Mitchell helps us see Jesus and the Gospel through the lived experience of a Black man in America today.
Vince and Kyle talk about why liberation theologies are what our country needs right now, why liberation theologies shine a clearer light on what is happening in Jesus on the Cross, and yet end with a surprisingly charitable view toward sin theologies.
As we try to centralize the perspectives of oppressed voices on God and faith, part of what we must do is de-centralize the voices that have been dominant. Kyle, one of our pastors, shares some turning points in his life learning about God and faith, which each saw him leave behind a "God of the Powerful" and move closer to a "God of the Oppressed".
How does our church's ongoing equity work relate to another of our core values: emotionally healthy spirituality? Vince and Kyle discuss how defensiveness is more toxic than discomfort, how emotional health for those on the bottom of society is only made possible through equity, how an equitable society is better for the privileged too, how living in accordance with our values is awesome, and how Jesus changes the answer to the question, “what is the good life?”
Continuing our “God of the Oppressed” discussions, we learn from BLC's Linda Kim about seeing God from the perspective of a second-generation immigrant, formed by the overlap of family and environment.
Taking inspiration from last Sunday's discussion learning about Latin-American views on Jesus as the God of the Oppressed, Kyle & Vince consider how white guys like them might more closely follow that God, and all the good that offers them in spite of the sacrifice that requires of them.
If you want to be able to fight injustice and experience hope, resilience, and joy in spite of it, you need a faith and a God that are acquainted with suffering and oppression. Continuing our series “God of the Oppressed”, we learned this week from BLC's Barbara Cunningham about oppression and the God who responds to it from a Chilean perspective -- a story of dictatorship, political suppression, and being told what and how to think.
BLC's old friend Joey Rodil joins Vince & Kyle to discuss more queer insights on God & faith, like the ability to love more readily, and seeing the parallel between Jesus speaking up for the marginalized and drag queens speaking up for the queer community.
In honor of the weekend many would have been participating in Chicago's Pride Parade if not for COVID-19, Rebecca Janvrin joins Vince & Kyle to discuss queer insights on God and faith. This kicks off our new series of discussion: God of the Oppressed. We'll be immersing ourselves, one at a time, in various different marginalized perspectives on Jesus and faith and the Bible. Really, we can't come to a proper theology and understanding of Jesus at all if we're not trying to do that from marginalized perspectives, because Jesus was a marginalized person.
Our experience has been that Jesus is on the side of the marginalized, always. But what do we do with competing views of Jesus out there? Kyle and Vince discuss the way competing views of Jesus cause internal and external strife in our lives and relationships, and workshop ways to navigate that well.
What are your personal next steps toward anti-racism? Should you expand your quarantine circle? For our individualized questions when there is no one-size-fits-all wisdom, we're big believers in listening to God for in-the-moment guidance. But, often in religious settings, glib or unexamined references to “hearing God” make many feel deficient (when they're really not) or feel like “that's for other people but not me”. Kyle, Vince, and Christina try to cut through that…
Vince processes his experience participating in a protest this weekend and not participating in another, Kyle wonders how to speak to his kids about systemic racism and protest, and the two of them discuss both the complications and power behind the protests on the Northside of Chicago this past weekend meant to be in support of Black Lives Matter.
If we use oral health & hygiene as an analogy, becoming anti-racist isn't taking your tonsils out, it's brushing your teeth — we have to commit to ongoing, everyday work.
Kyle & Vince continue the church's discussion of how to do community, and touch on the evils of the comparison game, the connection between trying not to judge ourselves and trying not to judge other people, and why Communion is so important to our church in Kyle's view.
Hayley, Kyle, and Vince discuss “shoulds” and false “right” pictures of community, American metaphors vs New Testament metaphors for community, practical ways to do community right now in the midst of shelter-in-place, and obscure references from the show Friends.
Maria joins Kyle and Vince as they share personal experiences on how and why it's hard to grieve and celebrate, and as they consider the helpfulness of rituals, traditions, and community.
Vince & Kyle follow up on Sunday's discussion of Society Resets.
Where can we find God in the way COVID-19 is resetting society? Vince, Kyle, and guest Val Buchanan discuss.
Kyle and Vince continue last Sunday's discussion, asking if self-care and connection with God are the same thing, and considering helpful vs unhelpful lenses we're taught to use when we try to recognize God's presence or voice in our lives.
Linda, Vince, and Kyle discuss loneliness, identity, introversion vs extroversion, and the prayers, scriptures, and images of God that are helping them during our shelter-in-place reality or have helped them in past seasons of loneliness.
Kyle and Vince follow-up on last Sunday's discussion on mental health, touching on the pros and cons of growing up more religious vs. less religious, concepts of sin, and how a theology of the Holy Spirit is especially helpful to avoiding one-size-fits-all recommendations on mental health.
Vince and Kyle continue the conversation of “Believing in God when bad thing happen” with a mailbag podcast responding to comments and question from last Sunday's discussion.
With the coronavirus in view, but also any senseless suffering each of us might face, Kyle and Vince discuss the difference between a “Life as God's Blueprint” understanding of believing in God and a “Life as a Battlefield” understanding of believing in God. The former is extremely common, but hurts many. The latter has helped them personally find powerful connection with God in the midst of hardship.
Life is full of uncertainty, and we feel that all the more in the midst of a global pandemic. In our experience, spirituality helps with uncertainty in a profound way, but it isn't by providing certainty in response. So how does it help? Vince and Kyle discuss…
Audio of our online discussion, reflecting on what we can learn from the surge of spirituality born out of pandemic in the 14th century.
