Uncovering the foundations of faith hidden in plain sight.

My Video Library—Faith Reflections & Conference Talks

Here you’ll find  theological reflections, recorded presentations from international conferences, and short Bible quizzes. These videos are part of my ongoing mission to explore faith, scripture, and our shared responsibility to care for Creation.

EMISSIONS FARMING: A NEW GENESIS

Could agricultural emissions be understood not only as waste, but also as a resource for restoring soil and producing food? 


Prepared for the Malawi Post-Easter 2026 Conference, This 14-minute presentation explores Gary Lewis’s Bio-Agtive Emissions Farming approach and “Nature’s Combustion Engine”—lightning, thunder, wind and sun.

Christmas traditions 2025 Video

What does Nicodemus the Teacher of Israel, Saint Nicholas and Santa Claus, Krampus, Black Pete, and even Cinderella have to do with Advent?


In this Christmas reflection, I unwrap old folklore and forgotten theology—revealing how art, memory, and Gospel wisdom weave together in the  Feast of Saint Nicholas.


Check out my blog post,TheThird Day, to see how Moses "The Teacher of Israel" spoke and God answered him with Thunder.

Christmas traditions 2023 Video

What do the barn, hay, Zeus, and Away in a Manger have to do with ancient beliefs—and with Barnabas and Joseph?
In this Christmas reflection, I unwrap familiar traditions and trace their roots to surprising connections—where myth, memory, and the Gospel story intertwine.
Check out my blog post featuring Barnabas for more.

Soil Health 2023 Video

SAPREJ 2023|ADDIS ABABBA, ETHIOPIA 

In this video I take a stand for SOIL HEALTH AND BIODIVERSITY with CARBON CAPTURE, UTILIZATION AND STORAGE. Green House Gases can be used to provide energy while cleaning up the environment, restoring soil health and promoting a circular carbon cycle based upon the 3 Rs, reduce, reuse and recycle.  

Ecothee 2022 Conference | orthodox academy of crete

In this video I take a stand for the Black Rock and remind Christian viewers that the concept of Christ being the Rock, the Stone upon which their Church and faith are built, is biblical and no empty claim. Christians all over the world claim this Rock is a divine gift and that this Rock is the building block of all life and in the fullness of time, according to divine plan, this Rock became human and will come again at the end of the age so that the faithful will shine like the sun (Matt.13:43)

Ecothee 2019 Conference | orthodox academy of crete

Here I take a stand with many Canadians and poorer
communities who want responsible economic development and a financial stake in the delivery and use of energy including fossil fuels. One conference participant said the Patriarch had declared the use of Fossil Fuel a SIN. Another accused me of being the poster girl for the OIL Industry! Am I, as Mary Magdalene once was, demon possessed and the worst sinner because I dare to suggest pollution from King Coal and Big Oil  can be used and redeemed? 

FROM METHANE TO MATERIAL: NEWLIGHT TECHNOLOGIES

In my 2019 Eco Colonialism presentation, I mentioned Mark Herrema’s work using methane—even methane associated with cattle—to create an alternative to conventional plastic. 


This film from Pique Action’s NextNow series shows how Newlight Technologies has advanced that early innovation into Aircarbon—a biomaterial made by microorganisms using air and captured greenhouse gases. Its story is still unfolding as the technology is developed, shared and applied in new ways.

Theology & Ecology Conference | Crete 2013 | Vicky arvelaki

This documentary by Vicky Arvelaki reflects the Orthodox Academy of Crete’s deep commitment to eco-justice, reconciliation and peace. 


Co-founded by Dr. Alexandros Papaderos, the Academy sought to rebuild trust between Germans and Cretans following the destruction of the Second World War—when many had vowed never to forget and never to stop hating one another. 


They dared to ask: 


“If Cretans and Germans could forgive one another and build a constructive relationship, could others do the same?”

The Day Don Died...Good Friday

What happens when a community of storytellers hears that one of its own has died—only to discover that he is very much alive? 


Over Easter weekend in 2017, a rumour spread through PAL Vancouver that jazz singer Don Stewart had died. Yet on Good Friday, Don and his band had been singing nearby at 6° Eatery in Coal Harbour. 


With wit and tenderness, The Day Don Died asks questions that also run through my work: Who tells the story? Whose testimony do we trust? And what happens when someone believed 

Bible Shorts – YouTube Reflections on Scripture

Bible Quiz — Vision of Amos

Each of these shorts invites you to rediscover biblical truths in a fresh light.

In this one, the prophet Amos sees a basket of ripe fruit (Amos 8:1–2)—a vision of fullness, readiness… and impending judgment. But fruit also signals life, maturity, and harvest. 

If you’re drawn to go deeper, I invite you to continue the conversation on my blog at www.lindavogtturnerca.blog and explore The Ecumenical Affair—a love story ripened by faith.

Bible Quiz - the Crown of Thorns

What is the Greek word for the Crown of Thorns?
The answer is stephanos—a victor’s crown. Yet this one is twisted with thorns. Stephen, the first to die for the Gospel, bore that name. Paul stood by, consenting—and baptized the very household that bore it. Mere coincidence? Or part of the mystery Paul reveals? I explore this further on my blog.

Bible Quiz - Mary Magdalene in the Early Church

Was the Magdalene a clinging vine — or the true vine itself?

On my blog, I explore this mystery (John15), peeling back layers of tradition, symbol, and scriptural memory to rediscover Mary Magdalene’s true place in the story.

What's the Love Story of Ruth and Boaz got to do with Christmas?

Ruth approached Boaz on a threshing floor strewn with hay, where she dared to propose. But Boaz first had to redeem her from another—by offering his sandal in Bethlehem.
Generations later, another Joseph stands holding a lamp beside Mary in a barn filled with hay. Not just a witness, but her bridegroom—the one called Father to Jesus.
On my blog, I follow the thread of this ancient love story, as it winds from Ruth to the Nativity, from redemption to revelation.
