Episode 12: Climate Change and Christianity with Jessica Moerman, PhD

Voices In The Wilderness

This Episode first streamed on Oct 24, 2021.

Many Christians in America are skeptical of Climate Change. Is Climate Science a weapon in the hands of politicians who seek to accumulate power and redistribute wealth or is it a trumpet in the hands of scientists who seek to rouse a slumbering populace before it's too late. Dr. Jessica Moerman, the Senior Director for Science and Policy at the Evangelical Environmental Network, joins Voices In The Wilderness to walk us through the data and help separate fact from fiction. As a devout Christian and the cofounder of a church in the Washington D.C. area, Dr. Moerman is aware of Christian cynicism regarding modern science and more than willing to reason from Scripture to convince the honest skeptic. Come, Let us reason together. This Sunday, October 24th and 1pm ET, 12pm CT. Dr. Jessica Moerman is the Senior Director for Science and Policy at the Evangelical Environmental Network. Jessica received her Ph.D. in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences from the Georgia Institute of Technology and has held research positions at John Hopkins University, University of Michigan, and the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, where she researched how climate has changed throughout Earth’s history. Jessica previously served as a AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellow at the U.S. Department of Energy. Jessica is passionate about leading church communities towards positive solutions to safeguard our cities, neighborhoods, and the next generation from the effects of a warming world and has been featured on the NBC Today Show, the Washington Post, Christianity Today, and numerous podcasts. In her spare time, Jessica volunteers at her church, which she co-founded in 2016 together with her husband Chris in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, DC.
