For the first season finale of Emerge, Falon and Sara are talking to three emerging adults — Natalie Alderton, Aidan Hulbert, and Katrina Gallardo Palma — about the episodes that were most meaningful for them and what they would add to the ongoing conversation about emerging adult spirituality.

The young adults we know wonder why it is so difficult to find food that is good for our bodies and for the planet. Falon and Sara are talking to Norman Wirzba — a prolific author and professor — about how to reignite the joy of eating and participate in food systems that honor God and our neighbor.

Dr. Norman Wirzba works at Duke Divinity School as a Distinguished Professor of Christian Theology, a Senior Fellow of the Kenan Institute for Ethics, and the Director of Research for the Office of Climate and Sustainability. He researches, speaks, teaches, and publishes books at the intersection of theology, philosophy, ecology, and agrarian and environmental studies.

The young adults we know wonder why there never seems to be enough time. Falon and Sara are talking to Makoto Fujimura — a world-renowned artist and author — about how slow art can enrich our lives and our faith.

Makoto Fujimura is a leading contemporary artist whose process-driven, refractive “slow art” has been described by David Brooks of The New York Times as “a small rebellion against the quickening of time.” His art has been featured in galleries and museums globally, and he is one of the first artists to paint live on stage at Carnegie Hall. Fujimura is also an arts advocate, writer, and speaker who is recognized as a worldwide cultural influencer. He founded the international arts movement, IAMCultureCare, and he serves as an Artist Advocate for Embers International. Click here for Mako’s author page on Amazon.
