102. Love is Local: Learning Our Places with Ben Lowe, A Rocha USA
Show Notes

Earthkeepers has been deeply affected by A Rocha because of the profound formational influence of the organization’s founders, Peter and Miranda Harris.  On the podcast we’ve frequently featured A Rocha voices, including that of  Leah Kostamo of A Rocha Canada, way back in episode 5. In episode 62, we talked about carbon offsetting with Brittany Michalski of Climate Stewards, a nonprofit in the A Rocha family of organizations. And in episode 79, we spoke about hospitality and community with Jo Swinney, Communications Director at A Rocha International and daughter of the organization’s founders. In this episode, James and Forrest talk with Ben Lowe, the executive director of A Rocha USA about his first year on the job and about his future vision for helping people seek God’s heart for the places where they live.
