Changing Climate, Unwavering Faith: YECA's Lauren Kim Revisited

What does it look like to follow Jesus in the face of climate change? In this episode, we revisit a powerful conversation with Lauren Kim, National Organizer and Spokesperson for Young Evangelicals for Climate Action (YECA). Originally aired in November 2024, this episode explores Lauren’s journey into environmental activism—shaped by her Evangelical faith, her sister’s asthma caused by land burning, and her deep love for God’s creation (especially cows and horses, thanks to her time in Texas). Lauren believes deeply in the mission of environmental stewardship as a practice of obedience, kindness, and radical love toward Jesus and His creation. A graduate of the University of Virginia in Global Security and Justice, she brings both academic insight and spiritual conviction to her mission. She also highlights the role of YECA in equipping young Christians to respond faithfully to the climate crisis and the importance of collaborating across faith traditions for the common good. P.S. Please don’t spontaneously book a flight to Idaho without a plan. Be safe out there.
