ABOUT DISCIPLE SCIENCE
Disciple Science is crowdfunded non-profit media production company. We believe integrating science and Christian faith can inspire a fuller knowledge of God.
Science is a process that we can use to study the natural world to discover how it works, better understand what has happened in the past and design a more sustainable future. There is nothing about studying creation that should distract us from a transformative faith in God. We believe that the tumultuous relationship between science and faith is a byproduct of confusion, misinformation and miscommunication. We hold that scientific understanding is complementary with theology, and that a better understanding of God's creation will produce a better understanding of God.
We produce free videos, a podcast, and a blog (small group study resources on their way) to provide context for the issues that have continually caused confusion and a vision of how to move toward to a more unified understanding of God and God’s creation. We want to encourage Christians to see science as a companion to Biblical theology to produce a fuller picture of reality. Lastly, we want to provoke faith-informed and data-driven action when we encounter problems and challenges that science can help address.
