They explore the challenges of interpreting scripture in modern society and the divisive role of politics in matters of faith. The conversation shifts to environmental health, discussing the dangers of heavy metals, microplastics, and climate change. The Abbotts share insights from their recent solar panel installation, highlighting technological advances, financial incentives, and the broader impact on reducing carbon footprints.
