Ngā Here - The Many Connections
Over the years I’ve noticed that there are a lot of us who can see that our planet is a bit broken and that how we live as a people in Aotearoa is a bit broken too - and we’ve got some pretty big questions.
Questions about what the Bible might have to say about the way we live and care for creation. Questions about how we can deeply connect with the world around us and each other. Questions about why the church seems so useless when it comes to caring for God’s creation. And questions about how Māori and Pākehā can learn from each other, and grow together.
So if you’re keen - I’d love to invite you to come along on this crazy, beautiful, journey with me, Waiora Te Moni, and Dr Andrew Shepherd - as we explore Ngā Here - The Many Connections that exist between creation, the Bible and living in Aotearoa.

Haerenga Tuarua - Part 4 - The Abundant Life Is Rubbish
E aku nui, e aku rahi, e aku rau rangatira mā, tēnā rā tatou katoa, and welcome to episode four of the second season of Ngā Here.
In the last episode, we discussed our relationship with the whenua, and what it might mean for us to see God as a gardener. We pick up in this episode by discussing what it might mean for humans to be wise stewards of God's good creation.
We also have a kōrero with Miriama Buchanan from an organisation called Para Kore. You can find out more about them at https://www.parakore.maori.nz/
A massive mihi to Miriama and Para Kore for being a part of this kaupapa
