In this edition of the EcoPreneur's Edge series, Mikee and I welcome Kevin Long, founder of Intertwined in Harrisburg, PA to talk about sustainabile spiritual journeys and eco-justice. Kevin went from a successful cybersecurity career to founding Intertwined, a community where faith and ecological justice meet. Kevin's spiritual journey began at Lancaster Theological Seminary, where he redefined how Christianity interacts with the environment, seeking to inspire a narrative of inclusivity and healing through Jesus' teachings.

Our conversation with Kevin uncovers the struggles and triumphs of engaging with one's community to foster a sense of belonging and purpose. Kevin reveals his mission with Intertwined FC is to create a safe and inclusive space for systemic change, focusing on climate action and advocacy for marginalized populations. Drawing from his experiences within the Presbyterian Church, Kevin dispels misconceptions about its rigidity, highlighting the vibrant support he received for his faith-based endeavors. We discuss how Intertwined was born from these experiences, offering a flexible spiritual engagement that emphasizes eco-justice and community gatherings, inviting newcomers to explore spirituality in a nurturing environment and outside of a building.

I'm super excited for you to hear my guest today, Kelly Wiant, a former Pastor in a traditional Presbyterian Church, who created an immersive worship experience that has brought the community together and embraced marginalized groups, called The Circle Harrisburg. This episode explores how Kelly's sabbatical revelations led her to seek spiritual spaces that reach beyond traditional church walls, aiming to foster healing and acceptance for everyone, regardless of their identity or beliefs.

Transitioning from traditional church settings to innovative worship environments can be daunting, yet Kelly proves it's possible with the right support. As we unravel the complexities of this journey, the discussion highlights the Presbyterian Church's 1001 New Worshiping Communities initiative, which provided the framework for Kelly's pioneering endeavors. With a focus on overcoming fear, listeners will find valuable insights into embracing change and recognizing the pivotal moment when passion and readiness ignite action.

The conversation shifts to a pandemic-altered religious landscape, where declining attendance and generational rifts challenge traditional churches. Through Kelly's narrative, we explore creative solutions like The Circle, an intergenerational, queer-focused community that uses intentional language to cultivate inclusivity.

Could artificial intelligence hold the key to a more sustainable future, or is it just another resource-hungry giant? Join us as we kick off season two of "The EcoPreneur's Edge" with a thought-provoking discussion on the complexity between AI and sustainability. Mikee and I explore how this advanced technology can both streamline business operations and spark creative innovations, while also presenting significant energy consumption and ethical challenges.

Our conversation stretches into the future of AI in sustainable business practices. From recycling nuclear waste with cutting-edge technologies to the unconventional prospects of immortality and groundbreaking medical advancements, we consider the role AI might play in shaping tomorrow's world. By automating mundane tasks, AI holds the potential to liberate time for creativity and deeper human connections. We champion a positive mindset towards AI, seeing it as a tool to enrich rather than replace our lives, and tease upcoming topics for the season.
