What happens when we get outside, slow down, and pay attention to the world God made?
Brendan McClenehan believes reconnecting with creation can deepen our connection with God, our communities, and the purpose we were made for. Brendan has been a divinity student, church planter, marketing agency leader, and poultry farmer. Today, he serves as church engagement manager for Plant With Purpose.
In this episode of The Redeemed Man, Brendan joins Nate Dewberry to talk about his faith journey, finding purpose, and why caring for creation doesn’t have to be a political issue. They explore our dependence on the natural world, what creation can teach us about God, and how spending time outside can help us live with greater gratitude, responsibility, and purpose.
