## Resource

This week, Scott was joined by Rev. Mel Caraway, a retired United Methodist pastor and long-time Texas Impact Board Member. Mel is a leader in the faith-based climate advocacy space at the denominational level and international level as a long-time COP attendee. Rev. Caraway joined the conversation to talk about his faith journey and how climate advocacy became his area of focus. He also talked about the work listeners could take to engage their community and congregation in effective climate work—a perfect conversation for this Earth Day.
