Consider the Lilies with Leah Kostamo

Written By Allison Williams

On this episode of Rector’s Cupboard we spoke with Leah Kostamo about astonishment, conservation, environmentalism, all things outdoors, and how that connects with people and faith. Jesus often used metaphors from creation in his teachings. He used tangible things like dirt and spit to bring healing.

Our awareness of the transcendent is often evoked by engagement with the natural world and planting a garden can be prayer.
