Faithful in a Changing Climate
Celebrating, advocating, and caring for God's beautiful creation
Every year from 1 September to 4 October, Christians around the world take part in Season of Creation - a time of prayer, worship, reflection, and action as we celebrate God's beautiful earth and renew our calling to care for it.
The global Season of Creation theme for 2026 is inspired by Ezekiel 47:1–12, where God's life-giving river flows from the temple, bringing healing wherever it goes. As the river deepens, barren land is restored, waters are revived, and creation flourishes. It is a beautiful picture of God's desire to bring renewal, abundance, and life to the whole of creation.
In a world facing an escalating climate crisis, that vision feels more important than ever. Season of Creation invites us to slow down and pay attention - to delight in the beauty of God's creation, lament what is being lost, and respond with hope as we join God's work of restoration, justice, and reconciliation.
This year, Common Grace explored what it means to faithfully follow Jesus in a changing climate. Through our podcast, devotional, online events, and practical resources, we asked: As Christians, what kind of people are we called to be? What kind of Church do we need to become? And how can we embody God's love and hope in communities experiencing the impacts of climate change?
Throughout September we joined together in prayer, and learned, reflected, and took action together - trusting that, like the river in Ezekiel's vision, God's renewing work continues to bring life and hope to creation.

‘Faithful in a Changing Climate’, a Podcast Series from Common Grace
As followers of Jesus, we're called to love God, love our neighbours, and care for God's good creation. But what does that look like in a world experiencing more frequent fires, floods, heatwaves, biodiversity loss, and other climate impacts? Across Australia and the globe, Christians are wrestling with questions about climate change, hope, justice, discipleship, and the future. Through thoughtful conversations with a diverse range of guests, this series explores what it means to faithfully follow Jesus in a changing climate. Together, we'll ask: What kind of Christians - and what kind of Church - are we called to be in a future shaped by climate change?
