You know, as you think about caring for the earth, it is a global challenge and one of the biggest challenges, you know, that impacts the well-being of God's children around the world.

And it is extremely overwhelming, if not looked out through the lens of faith and with a lens of

creativity and a really real willingness to be humble and learn along the way.

But it is a worthy work to draw upon the strength that the Savior can give us, to love our

neighbor, to care for our neighbor, and to put that

love and that care into action in a meaningful way. And if we can do it together, focusing again on

being peacemakers and being motivated by love and having this become a bit more of an integral

component of our discipleship, we're going to be on our way to helping bless God's children

in ways that will

bring us joy. And it is a really important part of how we are stewards of God's creations here

on this earth. This is John Ryan Jensen, editor of the Church News. Welcome to the Church News

connection as we discuss news and events of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints works to be good stewards of the earth, believing

that care of the earth is a sacred responsibility entrusted to God's

children. And church leaders have taught that caring for the earth is closely tied to caring for those in

need. Therefore, the church makes an effort to prioritize environmental sustainability in many ways

around the world. I'm Mary Richards, a reporter for the Church News. And for this episode

of the Church News podcast, I am joined by Jenica Sedgwick, the sustainability manager for the church.

Welcome, Jennifer. Thank you. Great to be here.

Tell me what your role entails and what does environmental sustainability mean, especially

from a gospel perspective.
