Journey asks Rebeccah Weatherford: How do you encounter God in your field of work?


I BELIEVE one of the greatest and most powerful ways we can experience God is through his creation.

I have found this in my own experience of God and seen others, both believers and non-believers, find God in nature.

There is nothing quite like spending a day in the bush or sitting on a beach looking at what is around you. From intricate details in insects to the magnitude of a starry sky, it’s hard to attribute such beauty to anything but God.

I am surrounded by the complexity and glory of God.

One of the first books that I read while at university was Case for a Creator by Lee Strobel. Study after study conducted by award-winning field leading scientists point to the existence of a creator.

As a teacher I see God at work through seeing the wonder of students as they come to understand new things.

Science and nature help me to experience and understand more of God everyday.
