## Resource

June is ocean month and we’ve decided to do something a little different for the podcast. In this two part series you will hear voices of people who deeply care about the ocean and deeply love the Church. They are ministers and laypeople, scientists and enthusiasts, all sharing their joy around God’s marine creation. We’ve centered our conversations around four questions: when have you experienced God at the ocean? What can the ocean teach us about faith? What biblical texts would you use to preach about the ocean? And finally why should preachers talk about the ocean this month? In part one, you’ll hear from Rachel G. Jordan, author of the newly released book “Does the Ocean Have a Soul?”, Robert Sluka, a scientist with A Rocha International, Blair Nelsen, Executive director of WaterSpirit, a spiritual ecology nonprofit, and Dan Vermeer, a faculty member of Duke University
