A frequent reflection on how a middle-aged, marginal Catholic sees the MORE, aka God, by looking for the more in the world around. Episodes focused on this light have interspersed ST21 episodes - a modern version of The Screwtape Letters. Listen and see how to recognize the nearness of the MORE and hear how to avoid being distracted away from the deep. May this podcast help you to see and experience deeply.
Christ, Countdown & Climate Change: L is for Leapfrogging
India, home of more than 1.4 billion people, wants to increase its overall prosperity. Presently, its citizens consume, per person, one tenth of what is consumed by Americans. If India were to take an intense fossil-fuel burning, CO2 producing path to prosperity, the effect on the planet would be catastrophic. So leapfrogging to a higher, more sustainable level of technology is a sane and sustainable way forward for India.

Christ, Countdown & Climate Change: K is for Kilowatt
It is astounding how much energy Americans use - especially compared to people elsewhere. The per capita consumption of each person in the U.S. is roughly 11,000 watts every moment of every day. And yet, we today have technology - like the 24 solar panels on my roof that can begin to change the carbon emissions which come from the burning of fuel to make those 11K of power I and every other American consume each day.

Christ, Countdown & Climate Change: J is for Jobs, Jobs, Jobs
Today it's about the same, important word repeated three times. We are reminded that with the shift to a renewable energy focused economy, there are new jobs which will grow from the need for labor to build the new infrastructure. And, as followers of Christ, we are also called to build a just, inclusive world in which all of the creatures within Christ's creation are respected. Any so-called "Christian" who wants to build an authoritarian nation founded on demonizing or scapegoating others, restricting freedom or racial supremacy is sorely misguided and not a follower of the goodnews - the gospel - of Christ.
