More Christ

In this More Christ episode, we sit down with Dr E. Calvin Beisner — a Christian author and founder of The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation — to explore what faithful Christian stewardship looks like in a world wrestling with environmental, economic, and cultural pressures. We dive into how Scripture shapes our understanding of creation care, how Christians can think clearly about climate, economics, and care for the poor, and why a robust Biblical worldview matters for science, policy, and mission.Dr. Beisner brings decades of scholarship in theology, ethics, and stewardship, and has written numerous books addressing these themes from a Gospel-centred perspective.Watch and reflect with us as we discuss:• What “stewardship” really means in Scripture• How Christian theology informs our view of creation and climate• The relationship between faith, economics, and care for the poor• Misconceptions around environmentalism and Biblical responsibilityLearn more about Dr. Beisner & his work:🌍 Cornwall Alliance (Official site) – https://cornwallalliance.org/📘 Calvin Beisner on Amazon (Author page) – Amazon.com: E.

Dr Eoin Lenihan is an independent journalist and researcher. Born in the west of Ireland, he grew up in the Celtic Tiger era which shaped his views on politics, culture, and national identity. As a field archaeologist he witnessed first-hand the vandalisation of Ireland’s archaeological landscapes to make way for economic ‘progress’ and foresaw that Irish identity was in existential danger. Lenihan holds degrees in History and Archaeology from the National University of Ireland, Galway, and a doctorate in Pedagogy from the University of Augsburg. Focusing primarily on politics today, he has written for a wide range of international news outlets including The Federalist, The European Conservative, Gript, Daily Caller, Quillette, Post Millennial, and has featured on Al-Jazeera and Fox News among others. His peer-reviewed study of Antifa uncovered damning evidence of how Antifa in the US infiltrated the national media and remains the largest empirical study of the group to date.
