Rev Dr Richard Cizik @revcizik

Fifteen years ago, Reverend Richard Cizik had the attention of 30 million evangelical Christians and was generating momentum for a faith-based moral obligation to care for the planet. This idea of “Creation Care” was controversial, but Rev. Cizik became a media darling – the face of the more reasonable modern-day evangelical – until his outspoken ideals led others to force his resignation. This is the story of how a man, set on changing the world, went from vice president of one of the biggest religious organizations in America, and one of TIME Magazine’s top 100 influential people, to years later becoming a part-time Lyft driver to meet people where they are; the story of how he continues to influence hearts and minds when it comes to the environment; and ultimately, a story about finding common ground in a polarized world.
