Summary:

In this episode, Dr. Michael Easley welcomes Dr. E. Calvin Beisner, founder of the Cornwall Alliance, for a conversation on creation care, energy, and biblical stewardship. Together, they challenge the myths of “green energy,” pointing out the hidden costs and environmental damage often overlooked with wind and solar power.

Dr. Beisner explains how chemicals and medications enter the water supply and highlights the inconsistency of environmental movements that ignore certain pollutants while amplifying others. He critiques the flawed “linear no threshold” principle in toxicology, showing how it fails both scientifically and logically.

The discussion also focuses on practical stewardship—recycling, waste management, and the need for engineering innovation. Dr. Beisner urges young Christians to pursue STEM fields as a way to serve God and address real-world challenges. From energy grid reliability to the promise of small nuclear plants, and even the looming threat of EMP attacks, the conversation underscores the need for wise, forward-thinking solutions.

Ultimately, Dr. Easley and Dr. Beisner remind listeners that stewardship is not driven by fear or ideology. Instead, it flows from Scripture: caring for creation with wisdom, truth, and hope in Christ.

Takeaways

• Stewardship requires wisdom rooted in Scripture, not fear-driven environmental ideology.


• “Green energy” promises often mask hidden costs that harm both creation and human flourishing.


• Christians must think critically about environmental claims instead of adopting cultural talking points.


• Innovation and engineering offer God-honoring solutions to waste, energy, and sustainability challenges.


• Dependence on unreliable energy sources leaves society vulnerable to crises with serious national security risks.


• True hope for creation care is found not in policy or technology, but in Christ and faithful stewardship.
