Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time - John 6: 60-69 - Lifelong Journey of Discipleship with Christ Heeyoung says: I was born and raised in Seoul within a Christian family. I devoted myself to the kingdom of God through 9 years of study in the practice of Theology and Christian Education at the Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary. My faith grew during 30 years of ministerial experience in local churches. My theological perspectives have been extended during 10 years of work at the Education and Resources Department of the General Assembly of PCK, and 4 years of teaching at PUTS as a visiting lecturer. I have learned many things from UnitingChurches for 17 years in terms of ministry, worship, education, fellowship, social justice, and culture. Regarding professional experience, I was deeply involved in planning and editing of textbooks, and I was in charge of producing and planning short educational films. I taught as a visiting lecturer at PUTS and contributed to several magazines. For ministerial goals and pastoral vision, I would like to focus on connecting to Jesus and others so that all the church members can be whole-hearted people and spirit-filled Christians living from a deep sense of worthiness and strong sense of love and belonging in Jesus and Faith Communities. I would like to take responsibility for serving, helping, and developing all the generation to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. I also want to contribute to life-long discipleship, faith growth, and a culture of inter-generational and inter-cultural in our congregation and wider communities.

Today I'm talking with Naomi Mortensen, founder of the BYU club Students Together Against Sexual Assault. Naomi is an incredible advocate for survivors of sexual assault. Some of her past experience on behalf of survivors includes the following: volunteering with the Women's Services and Resources Department at BYU; becoming a member of The Refuge's Rape Crisis Team; serving as president of the BYU Anti-Trafficking Club; and becoming a rape crisis counselor at The Center for Women and Children in Crisis. Naomi now works as an instructional content creator at RAINN, the nation's largest anti-sexual violence organization. You can find information about virtual STASA meetings on their Instagram page, https://www.instagram.com/byustasa. CORRECTION: In my narration, I say that Naomi has graduated from BYU. This is incorrect--she will graduate this year, in 2021.

This is an episode with podcast guest Chris! Chris finished his Ph.D. from the Energy and Resources Group at UC Berkeley. This is an interdisciplinary Ph.D. focusing on Water and Sanitation in Urban India. He researched low and middle-income regions in India and also minored in Engineering. Not everywhere in the world has 24/7 access to water. Chris talks about interesting results including that smaller cities with a lower standard of living were less likely to benefit from existing technologies, especially families with girl children. Chris also talks about his experience in surviving graduate school and making it out successfully with his degree and even lining up a job in the government sector. He is currently working as a Senior Environmental Scientist for the State of California. Although this is very much a pivot from Chris's academic pursuits, he is still able to make an impact where it really matters! We also cover how to start a podcast!

In the last few weeks, we've seen numerous events with implications for how to think about the twin challenges of developing the energy resources we need while also protecting our public lands, curbing climate change, and protecting the environment. There have been setbacks for three major U.S. pipeline projects, all rooted in flaws that courts found in environmental review processes; a new announcement by  President Trump about a “top to bottom overhaul” of the nation’s environmental review process, a cornerstone of the landmark environmental law President Nixon signed half a century ago; and ambitious new plans announced by Vice President Biden to dramatically increase clean energy investments.  In this edition of Columbia Energy Exchange, host Jason Bordoff is joined by David J. Hayes to discuss what all these changes might mean for energy infrastructure projects on federal lands moving forward, along with other issues like what’s next for clean energy and climate policy, how states are responding to the Trump administration’s recent environmental rollbacks, and much more.  David J. Hayes is an environmental, energy and natural resources lawyer who leads the State Energy and Impact Center at the NYU School of Law, which supports state attorneys general in their advocacy for clean energy, climate and environmental laws and policies. David previously served as the Deputy Secretary at the U.S. Department of the Interior for President Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. He’s also been a visiting lecturer at Stanford Law School, is a member of the board of the Coalition for Green Capital, and is founder of the U.S. Wildlife Trafficking Alliance. Earlier in his career, he worked in private law practice as global chair of the Environment, Land and Resources Department at Latham & Watkins. 

Jim Arnone is in his thirtieth year as a partner at international law firm Latham & Watkins. As the firm’s Global Chair of the Environment, Land & Resources Department, Jim has helped his clients navigate the uncertain and treacherous terrain that is California land use law. Over the course of his long career, Jim has seen this body of law grow to become the behemoth it is today, garnering praise from some and opprobrium from others. Listen in as Jim chats with Max about housing, the California Environmental Quality Act, and his outlook on the future of land use regulation in the state.

Undercurrents returns with interviews on data-driven advertising in media and politics, and why Chile had to give up the COP25 climate conference.  Artificial Intelligence and machine learning have given advertisers the tools to target specific groups of people with personalised messaging. In a new research paper for the International Security Department at Chatham House, Sophia Ignatidou explores how this personalisation is changing the media and political landscapes for the worse.  In October this year, the Chilean government were forced to cancel the COP25 climate conference due to mass protests on the streets of Santiago. Patrick Schröder from the Energy, Environment and Resources Department joins Ben to explain how the unrest demonstrates the importance of ensuring a 'just transition' to a sustainable future.  Read the Chatham House Research Paper: AI-driven Personalization in Digital Media: Political and Societal Implications Read the Chatham House Expert Comment: Chile's Social Unrest: Why It's Time to Get Serious About a 'Just' Transition

Would cutting back on meat consumption help tackle climate change? What impact would this have on individuals, governments and businesses? Livestock farming accounts for at least 14.5% of all human emissions - with beef making up the highest proportion of this. Meat free burgers are now available at fast food restaurants across the western world; veganism is on the rise, as is flexitarianism - a largely vegetable-based diet supplemented occasionally with meat. But how far can these eating trends help to reduce carbon emissions?David Aaronovitch is joined by: Dr Hannah Richie - Head of Research at Our world in data, University of Oxford Tim Searchinger - Senior Fellow, World Resources Institute and Princeton University Professor Louise Fresco - President of the Wageningen University Laura Wellesley - Research fellow in the Energy, Environment and Resources Department at Chatham House Toby Park - Head of Energy and Sustainability, Behavioural Insights TeamProducer: Serena Tarling Editor: Jasper Corbett

This week the team explore the changed political landscape in Europe after the European Parliamentary Elections, and discover the obstacles to sustainable development in Colombia.  Average voter turnout across the continent in the recent European elections was higher than at any time since the turn of the century. Agnes meets Tom Raines, Head of the Europe Programme at Chatham House, to discuss the implications of the vote for the UK and beyond.  In 2016 the Colombian government agreed a peace deal with revolutionary armed group the FARC, ending a civil war that lasted more than 50 years. The aftermath of the deal has seen rapid economic development, but at a cost to the environment. Ben finds out more from Melissa MacEwen from the Energy, Environment and Resources Department at Chatham House.  Read the Chatham House Expert Comment: May Leaves, but Brexit Remains Read the article: Colombia's Struggle for Sustainable Development
