“From the fall of man, the rest of the Bible is the story of man coming back to the tree of life. ”Question: What is the most mentioned living thing in the Bible, other than God and people? Answer: Trees On this week's show, author Matthew Sleeth MD talks about his new book “Reforesting Faith - what trees teach us about the nature and love of God.” Matthew reminds us that the tree is THE major metaphor in the Bible. Every main character and event in the Bible is associated with or linked to a tree. Yet over the years, trees have been eradicated from the scriptures by theologians. Why? Matthew gives us a unique and powerful perspective on something that God loves very dearly. He says,“God loves trees, He gives them a ring on every one of their birthdays.” (This is a repeat episode - enjoy!)

God begins to teach us an analogy between humans and trees on the very first page of His Word.  Trees are miraculous sustainers of human life on earth and a very good example of God's care and provision for us. Preachers and writers in the 1800s found this a fine topic to expound upon, but it has fallen out of favor these days. Why?

There are over 900 references to trees in the Bible! Who cares? We do! Cru City staff Elizabeth McKinney and I talk about Matthew Sleeth's book 'Reforesting Faith' and Jesus' invitation for us to care about the trees in our backyard.

Creation is a living masterpiece of God. It is full of life, beauty and vitality. And maybe one of God’s greatest creative expressions is a tree. They are the longest-lived of God’s creations. They are the lungs of the planet. They are a wonderous reminder that the good God does develops over decades, even centuries. Trees remind us of God’s unhurried way. Recently, Gem and I had the opportunity to have a conversation with Dr. Matthew Sleeth about his book Reforesting Faith. In it, he shares his own journey of discovering the importance of trees for our world and for God’s creation.  As a former emergency room physician, Dr. Matthew Sleeth felt like he was straightening deck chairs on the Titanic saving a patient at a time while the whole ship (Earth) was going down. Together with his wife and two children, he began to bring his lifestyle in line with his values, cutting back on their fossil fuel by two thirds and electricity use by nine tenths.  Following a new calling, Dr. Sleeth resigned from his position as chief of the medical staff and director of the ER to teach, preach, and write about faith and the environment throughout the country. Dr. Sleeth is a graduate of George Washington University School of Medicine and has two post-doctoral fellowships. 

Dr. Matthew Sleeth was at the peak of his career, an ER physician and chief of staff of his hospital. Matthew believed in science and what could be seen and measured.  After several back to back tragedies, things shifted for Matthew and his wife Nancy. The Sleeths wrote several books, including Serving God, Saving the Planet, Almost Amish, 24/6: A Prescription to a Healthier, Happier Life, and Reforesting Faith (released April 2019).  In 2008, he founded Blessed Earth to teach at churches, schools, and retreats around the country. Dr. Sleeth was invited to be the monthly guest preacher at The Washington National Cathedral, and 2,500 groups in 45 countries and all 50 states participated in Blessed Earth's Hope for Creation simulcast. Newsweek and Christianity Today have listed the Sleeths among the top fifty Christian leaders in America. In this episode, I speak with Dr. Sleeth about his mission and the impact Blessed Earth is making in the world.  Let's do this! http://www.blessedearth.org/

Can Christians be environmentalists? Should Christians be environmentalists? For a long time, a complicated relationship has existed between Christianity and efforts to care for the environment- at least in the Western Church. However, those who have worked at the intersection of faith and sustainability have realized that these two things go hand-in-hand. Caring for creation fulfills a biblical mandate God has given humanity. Taking care of the Earth can also draw us closer to God. So why the tension? To investigate this, we talk to Tim Buechsel, a pastor in Hong Kong on the verge of preparing for a sermon on God's environmental justice. We hear from Matthew Sleeth, author of the book Reforesting Faith on how trees communicate the story of the Gospel. We also talk to Phileena Heurtz on how contemplative spirituality can help us connect with God amidst challenging environmental crises. Welcome to the Grassroots Podcast, a Plant With Purpose production. This show features global conversations about the environmental challenges we’re facing and what ordinary people are doing to in response. We’re going beyond doom-and-gloom. We’re looking at root causes, talking to people on the frontlines, and asking ourselves what we can do. There are reasons to be concerned, but there is also a case for hope.

Matthew gives us a unique and powerful perspective on something that God loves very dearly. He says,“God loves trees, He gives them a ring on every one of their birthdays.

Dr. Matthew Sleeth, author, speaker, and creation care advocate, addresses a concept forgotten for far too long in the world of Christendom: the role trees play in God's grand narrative. Often quickly overlooked in Scripture, these arboreal creatures are gatekeepers to God's natural world. His new book, Reforesting Faith, will be available in April 2019. Listen in and find God's heart for His created world and His people He has left as caretakers.
