Biblical approach to stewardship of animals

The podcast discusses the question of whether a biblical approach can be taken towards the stewardship of animals. The speaker highlights that living between the times means being people of the new creation while still living in the old creation. The speaker references the Sabbath as an anticipation of the age to come, where all species will live together as one. While acknowledging that some may be called to live in a way that avoids killing animals, the speaker notes that God has provided meat for consumption throughout the Bible. However, the speaker suggests that the focus should be on a humble gratitude for this provision and on avoiding ruthless exploitation.
