36. For A Greener Future: 2020s Foresight with Tom Sine and Dwight Friesen

Earthkeepers: A Circlewood Podcast on Creation Care and Spirituality

In this episode Forrest talks to the authors of a book called 2020s Foresight: Three Vital Practices for Thriving in a Decade of Accelerating Change. One of the authors is Tom Sine—a man who has written many books and influenced many lives—and in fact this podcast has deep ties to his profound influence. (Earthkeepers podcast is an expression of an organization called Circlewood. Circlewood itself grew out of an organization called Mustard Seed Associates—and that organization was founded by Tom and his wife Christine). The other author of this book is Dwight Friesen, a professor at The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology. Both Dwight and Tom make the urgent case that people of faith need to become innovative problem solvers in the face of the desperate challenges we face in this present age.
