Episode notes
Creation Is Redeemed Not Erased

Animals Are Part Of God's Covenant
- Scripture portrays animals as included in God's covenant care and moral concern.
- Kaitlyn cites Genesis 9's covenant with 'all of creation' and laws that direct humane treatment of animals.
Care For Animals As A Moral Practice

- Kaitlyn notes Old Testament laws (e.g., not taking a mother bird) and Psalm 12 valuing care for animals as signs of righteousness.
