Podcast appearances and mentions of bob bixby

This week on Facing the Future, Bob Bixby switched from the host chair to the guest seat to talk about  his 25-year career as Executive Director of The Concord Coalition. National Field Director Phil Smith asked Bob questions about the importance of the federal budget, the fiscal outlook, and The Concord Coalition over the years. Later in the show, Phil interviewed two of our Fiscal Lookout volunteers, Kevin Wiley of Indiana and Erik Carter of New York, about the work of political depolarization and engaging their communities in fiscal issues.

This week on Facing the Future, guest host Phil Smith discusses the need for political depolarization with two Concord Coalition grassroots leaders. In addition, Phil talks with Bob Bixby about his 25 years as executive director of The Concord Coalition.

This week on Facing the Future, Bob Bixby was joined by Concord Coalition Policy Director Tori Gorman and Chief Economist Steve Robinson to discuss the latest 10-year Budget and Economic Outlook from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). The CBO report projects that the federal budget deficit will grow from $2 trillion this year to $2.8 trillion by 2034 (adjusted to exclude timing shifts that occur when the first day of the fiscal year falls on a weekend). Bob, Tori, and Steve broke down the key projections from the report and what each could mean for interest rates, jobs, and economic growth going forward.

This week on Facing the Future, Bob Bixby was joined on the show by Dr. Michael T. Osterholm, Director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota. He also served as one of thirteen COVID-19 advisors on President-elect Biden's pandemic advisory board in 2020. Osterholm provided insights into where we currently stand with COVID-19 and what lessons we can learn to better prepare for the next pandemic. Concord Coalition Chief Economist Steve Robinson and National Field Director Phil Smith joined the conversation.

Legalism is something every Christian must fight against. We all have the urge a time to measure our faith (or the faith of others) but some outside, extra-Biblical standard. In hopes of solidifying our faith, legalism only drives us away from Christ leads to depend on our own strength and virtue. This week's podcast features a clip from a sermon preached by one of my favorite preachers, Bob Bixby of Redeemer Church in Freemont, CA. Pastor Bob was once my pastor and still continues to be a mentor and friend. I think you will find this extremely helpful in your fight against the spiritually deadly inclination.Recommended Resources:The Grace Awakening: Believing in Grace Is One Thing.

Bob Bixby is executive director of the Concord Coalition. Founded in 1992, it is a non-partisan organization that advocates putting the national debt on a sustainable course and protecting future generations. Bixby joined Concord in 1992 and served in several positions, including policy director and national field director, before being named executive director in 1999. He has served as a member of the Bipartisan Policy Center’s Debt Reduction Task Force (the Domenici-Rivlin commission), which produced a model plan for comprehensive fiscal reform. He frequently speaks around the country on the nation’s fiscal challenges and possible bipartisan solutions, including greater government efficiency, tax reform and improvements in the entitlement program. He has testified at congressional hearings and been interviewed by news organizations around the country. Bixby has appeared on ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, CNN and Fox News. Concord’s founders believed, like the Minutemen at Concord, that America has a moral obligation to leave the country better off for our children and grandchildren. Founding co-chairs were former U.S. senators Paul E. Tsongas (D-Mass.) and Warren B. Rudman (R-N.H.). Former U.S. commerce secretary Peter G. Peterson was the founding president. Current Board of Directors and regional advisory groups include former members of Congress and state legislatures, recognized experts on the federal budget, and business and civic leaders.

Every Sunday workers from many different places and vocations gather together to worship, and yet are the leaders of our churches really recognizing that through them the work of the commission of Christ taking place right in front of them? In the book Work and Worship, Matthew Kaemingk and Cory Wilson make a compelling case that church leaders, pastors and worship leaders, often create a unhelpful disconnect between what church members do each day and what they do when they gather to worship. It could be said that the goal of many if not most of our church liturgies is focused on the building up of the institution of the gathered church yet ignoring the sending or scattering of the body of Christ as missionaries into their respective work places. The conversation in this episode of the Surprised By Light podcast barely scratches the surface of this topic. But the good news is that there is a book, specifically this book Work and Worship, completely dedicated to informing and equipping church leaders to think through how they can prepare and use our liturgies in gathered worship to send our members back into their own parishes as priests of the Royal Priesthood to minister the Gospel of Christ. The book featured in this episode is Work and Worship.

Right in the center of Silicon Valley, the fountain of technology and digital life a few pastors come together to discuss what it is for the church to be a "place to be human." If that resonates with you or maybe it seems a little strange. This conversation dives into the discussion of what it is to be human, and why the church is the place that God intended for humans to not be more digital, but rather it is the place where we realize both what we were made to be as well as what God is remaking us to be - Human. This discussion was between Bob Bixby, Scott Dunford and Jay Kim. Each of these men are church planters and pastors in the Silicon Valley. A lot of great thoughts and ideas are shared here for the church and church leaders to consider in a time when we have had to resort to technology for community and people engagement. But is technology the future for us as humans as we are thrust into a world of digital and virtual reality? Redeemer Church of Silicon Valley is the church where Bob and Scott co-teach. Westage Church is the church where Jay Kim is the Teaching Pastor. He is also the author of the book Analog Church (use SURPRISEDBYLIGHT for a 30% off discount).

In this special episode, we take a break from the normal flow as Scott Dunford shares an important update on his life and ministry. We're also joined by Bob Bixby, lead pastor of Redeemer Church in Fremont, California, to talk about why the San Francisco Bay Area is truly a mission field—and how listeners can prayerfully engage what God is doing there in and amongst the unchurched and unreached expat communities. Bob grew up in the Central African Republic and France and brings to us twenty-two years of pastoral experience in multicultural settings. After studying in France, Bob returned to his birth country to study for the ministry. It was there that he met his life-long companion and together they returned to Europe where Bob served as a pastor for ten years. In 2002, Bob became the founding pastor of a church plant that grew to become a thriving ministry. After twelve years of hard work and loving relationships, that church, Morning Star Church, sent Bob with their blessing to start a church in Fremont. You can support Redeemer's vital ministry to the Bay Area by giving on their website. You can also email sdunford@abwe.org to connect. Don't forget our sponsor, the Global Gospel Fund. We believe missionaries should be free to do the ministry they're called to—not to waste precious ministry hours handling logistics. The Global Gospel Fund provides 1,000 missionaries across 70 countries with counsel, support, and a team of experts who know them by name. If you're burdened for missions this giving season but don't know where to start, we invite you to become a partner. Remember to share, rate, leave a review, and subscribe. Together we can help bridge the gap between the worlds of theology and missions. Want to ask a question for a future episode? Email alex@missionspodcast.com. Powered by ABWE International.
