Behind the Scenes @ The BTS Center
This 2025 special edition of The BTS Center’s podcast, Climate Changed, is co-hosted by intern Jessica David in addition to Ben Yosua-Davis and Rev. Nicole Diroff.
A graduate of Harvard Divinity School, Jessica spent her seminary days asking meaningful questions. Some of those questions were about us at The BTS Center: our mission, our values, and the ecosystem of thought that informs our work.
Each episode’s webpage contains the podcast episode, a transcript, guiding questions for individual or group engagement, and more.
