Book Study Videos

Below are the videos from FBC Earthworks Team Purple’s book study discussions. The group typically meets on the last Wednesday of the month to discuss books or other media covering philosophical and intellectual ideas of creation care, including land sustainability, use of chemicals and pollution, species protection, global racism and the impact on the Global South, and climate change. Learn more about Team Purple, FBC’s Earthworks Psalm 8 collective, and the other Earthworks teams. Or, click the button and complete the form to get email notification of upcoming book studies!
