What if the land you live on actually knows you? In this episode, we visit with Deb Metzger, an eco-spiritual companion, farmer, and retired Lutheran minister who has lived her whole life within two miles of the Ohio farmland that raised her.

Deb shares stories of a nuthatch that helped her grieve, wildlife holding vigil at her father’s death, and a vow made kneeling beside a murdered coyote. Together we explore what it means to let nature be more than a backdrop to behold rather than watch, to find God with “fur and talons and scales and wings,” and to stay tender-hearted on a hurting planet.

If you’ve ever sensed something holy on a walk in the woods and wondered if you were crazy, this conversation is your permission slip to be open and take it in.
