The Scariest Pages of Scripture: What Monsters Lurk in Revelation and in Our World

Presenter: Rev. Matthew Ian Fleming, teaching pastor at St. Andrew Lutheran Church, Eden Prairie

Drawing from his recently published book, The End is the Beginning: Revelation, Hope, and the Love that Lit the Stars, Fleming will help people understand the framework of Revelation, interpret it through a Lutheran lens, and ponder together what it might be speaking to Christians today. Cutting through the echo chamber of rapture-haunted apocalyptic anxiety, he will offer a clear picture of God’s persistent love for all that was, and is, and will be that Christians need to know. He will debunk some of the misinterpretations, myths, and anxieties around this strange book through humor, story, and invitation. Fleming, a graduate of Concordia College and Luther Seminary, launched and leads Church Anew, an international platform that hosts events and creates resources that express a fresh witness in the world.

Regenerative Agriculture and Climate Change: Can Farming Save the Planet and Equitably Feed the World?

Presenter: Tim Reese, Manager of Gale Woods Farm, Educational facility of Three Rivers Park District

As stewards of the land, farmers play a crucial role in environmental issues. The choices farmers make are part of the larger food system in which we all play a part as consumers. The Lutheran ethic of environmental stewardship advocates our responsibility to the earth and care for each other. Learn how regenerative agriculture is attempting to address these crucial challenges. Reese has a master’s degree in Agriculture Education from the University of MN and an undergraduate degree in Environmental Studies from St. Olaf College. He believes in the power of experiential education and the ability of natural spaces to inspire people toward solutions to our social and environmental challenges.

Food, Farming, and Faith: Regenerative Agriculture as Christian Practice

Presenter: Rev. Kerri Meyer, Episcopal priest and regenerative farmer

Good Courage Farm is nourishing neighbors in body and spirit, growing good food while growing disciples of Jesus. Learn how prayer and labor intertwine in daily life on the farm, and how ancient biblical parables and psalms continue to offer wisdom for promoting justice, equity, and hope today. Whether you are passionate about food systems, spirituality, or environmental justice, this conversation about “agrarian faith” will offer fresh perspectives on how we can work together to renew our spirits and God’s glorious Creation. A Master Gardener and Master Naturalist, prior to returning to Minnesota Meyer served as Associate Rector of St. Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Church in San Francisco and pastored the community of volunteers and patrons at The Food Pantry.
