Podcasts about Butan

Eine Papptafel sie zu knechten. Wir schauen heute auf die vergangene Woche und die Auswirkungen des Liberation Day. Wie lange kann die Wette aufrechterhalten werden und wann kippt die Stimmung? Welchen Zweck verfolgt das Ganze und wie hoch ist das Risiko. Daraus ergeben sich wichtige Fragen für Butan, Deutschland und GameStop. Kommt mit in eine vielleicht eher unorthodoxe Aufarbeitung der Zollkriege. Euer Gimli.

Intel has appointed Lip Butan as its new CEO, effective March 18th, following a tumultuous period marked by a 54% drop in share prices and the ousting of former CEO Pat Gelsinger. Butan, a seasoned tech investor and former CEO of Keynes Design Systems, is expected to revitalize Intel's fortunes and navigate its controversial Foundry strategy aimed at expanding manufacturing capabilities. Investors reacted positively to his appointment, with Intel's stock price rising over 11% in after-hours trading. Butan's leadership is seen as crucial for Intel to compete in the semiconductor market, particularly in smartphone and AI chip sectors.In the realm of cybersecurity, SailPoint has expanded its Managed Service Provider program to make identity security solutions more accessible to smaller enterprises, addressing the increasing threats targeting vulnerable identities. This initiative allows businesses to onboard identity security as a fundamental function, focusing on entry-level use cases while providing pathways for future growth. Meanwhile, TeamViewer has launched its first integrated solution with One E, enhancing digital workspace experiences through improved device monitoring and secure remote connectivity.SolarWinds has announced its acquisition of Squadcast, a company specializing in incident response solutions, to bolster its capabilities in managing complex IT environments. This merger aims to streamline incident response and improve operational resilience for IT professionals. Additionally, Verizon Business has introduced a new security service called Trusted Connection, which enhances cybersecurity by implementing continuous verification of access to devices, networks, and cloud applications, addressing the significant risks posed by stolen credentials.A recent study by the Tao Center for Digital Journalism has raised concerns about the reliability of generative AI search tools, revealing that over 60% of citations provided by these tools are incorrect. This highlights the urgent need for better evaluation and citation practices in AI-powered searches. Furthermore, research from Harvard Business Review indicates that while AI can enhance executive decision-making, it requires active human engagement to avoid critical blind spots. The findings suggest that companies must find the right balance between human oversight and AI capabilities to optimize decision-making processes. Four things to know today 00:00 Intel Bets on New CEO Lip-Bu Tan—Will the Foundry Gamble Pay Off?04:47 Big Security Moves: SailPoint, SolarWinds, and Verizon Roll Out New Solutions—Here's What They Mean07:59 Think AI Search Is Reliable? 60% of Its Citations Are Wrong09:14 AI in the Boardroom?

Wykład Pawła Cywińskiego, Klub Inteligencji Katolickiej, 29 maja 2019 [1h28min] https://wszechnica.org.pl/wyklad/turysta-w-swiecie-globalnym/ Paweł Cywiński, współtwórca post-turysta.pl, opowiada o wpływie turystyki na środowisko i lokalne społeczności - zrównoważona turystyka, odpowiedzialna turystyka Złoty piasek, błękit morza, palmy – to dobrze znany obrazek z folderów reklamujących wakacje w egzotycznych krajach. Za takim obrazem rajskiej plaży często stoi zniszczenie środowiska naturalnego i upadek lokalnej społeczności. Paweł Cywiński, twórca projektu post-turysta.pl, mówił w Klubie Inteligencji Katolickiej o negatywnych aspektach podróżowania. Czy zrównoważona turystyka może im przeciwdziałać? Pierwszą publiczną wycieczkę miał zorganizować brytyjski przedsiębiorca Thomas Cook w 1841 roku. Jego biznes bardzo szybko urósł do olbrzymich rozmiarów – przedsiębiorca otworzył swoje biura podróży w większości krajów Europy. Dziś sektor turystyczny odpowiada za 1,3 mld podróży rocznie, generuje 10 proc. światowego PKB oraz zatrudnia globalnie podobny odsetek ludzi. Oprócz możliwości poznania innych krajów, turystyka ma wiele negatywnych aspektów – prelegent podczas wykładu skupił się na tych ostatnich. Próbował również odpowiedzieć na pytanie, czy odpowiedzialna turystyka może tym negatywnym trendom przeciwdziałać. Wyobrażenia turystów o nieznanych rejonach świata opierają się na mniej lub bardziej rzetelnych źródłach (blogi, programy telewizyjne, przewodniki itp.). Branża turystyczna często tworzy produkt dopasowany do tych wyobrażeń, który nie jest zgodny z lokalną tradycją lub wręcz tworzy ją nowo – np. taniec Hula na Hawajach. Negatywny wpływ na lokalne społeczności mają też powstające w popularnych miastach dzielnice turystyczne (np. Kuta na Bali czy Thamel Katmandu) – zwykle następuje z nich exodus tubylców. Masowy napływ turystów generuje też problem z transportem, usuwaniem odpadów czy ograniczaniem zasobów wody. Jednak wczasy all inclusive generują wcale nie mniejszy problem niż turyści podróżujący z plecakiem. Zrównoważona turystyka może pomóc ograniczyć negatywne trendy. Działania mogą być podejmowane w dwóch kierunkach – poprzez edukację zwiększającą świadomość na temat etycznego podróżowania i regulacje prawne. Współcześnie niektóre kraje, jak np. Indie czy Butan, ograniczają ruch turystyczny. Więcej w nagraniu wystąpienia. Więcej: Paweł Cywiński - orientalista, kulturoznawca, geograf.

2015 hat der Tod bei Patrik Wenke schon einmal an die Tür geklopft. Nach einem schweren Schlaganfall musste er das Gehen wieder komplett neu erlernen. Seit diesem Schicksalsschlag weiß Patrik, dass er keine Zeit für Bullshit hat. Er hat Verantwortung für seine Gesundheit und vor allem für sein Glück übernommen. Mittlerweile läuft der Glücksexperte oder Happyologe mindestens 1.000 Km im Jahr und engagiert sich für das Kinderhilfswerk ICH e.V. In diesem Jahr wollte er seine Grenzen austesten und hat in Butan am Ultrama-rathon teilgenommen. 200 km Laufstrecke in über 3.000 Höhenmetern, ein Fußballspiel mit Mönchen in 3.600 Metern Höhe. Wie Patrik diese Strapazen überstanden hat und warum Aufgeben für ihn keine Option war, erfahren wir in diesem Podcast.

The Bois have returned from their adventures in Sydney for PWA Black Label and NJPW Tamashii and they have stories to tell. Answering listener questions, they explore the structure of Tamashii, compare it to NJPW Strong, revel in the wonder of Aussie independent wrestling, identify some talent to keep an eye on, continue to gush over the generosity of Robbie Eagles and discuss how the ‘territory system' could revitalise careers. And just when you thought they were done, it is time for fun. The second half of the episode is all about the Tag Leagues. The Bois are drafting! Listen along as they preview the tag league the traditional stiff way, by each lad building a fantasy team to track throughout the tournament. This is a first for tag league, but, with so many fresh faces and unique pairings across both leagues, this is the tourney for this to happen.

A weekly magazine-style radio show featuring the voices and stories of Asians and Pacific Islanders from all corners of our community. The show is produced by a collective of media makers, deejays, and activists. Tonight on APEX Express Host Miko Lee interviews Cathy Ceniza Choy author of Asian American Histories of the United States. Show Transcripts [00:00:00] Opening: Asian Pacific expression.

[00:00:18] Jalena Keane-Lee: We're bringing you an Asian American Pacific Islander view from the Bay and around the world. [00:00:22] Miko Lee: This is Miko Lee. And in August, I had the wonderful opportunity of hosting a live event. One of the first live events. That KPFA was offering at the back room in Berkeley. And it was an interview with Catherine Cinzia Choi on her new book Asian-American histories of the United States. So take a listen to the interview. You're going to hear some clapping and some noise because it was a live audience. we hope you enjoy it and find out more information at our website kpfa.org. take a listen welcome to KPFAS live virtual event. I'm Miko Lee from apex expressed in your host for tonight. A big round of applause to our producers of K PFA events that are here. Kevin Hunt, Sanger, and Brandy Howell in the back of the room. Wow, it's so great to be in front of a live audience. Thank you to Sam Rudin and the back room. This amazing glorious space for hosting us this live evening. Okay. Y'all we're coming back. We're coming out. We're still pandemic land. People are in their beautiful masks, but we're coming back and KPFA has a few more upcoming events. I wanna do a land acknowledgement, and I want to acknowledge that K P F a is located on unseated, Cho Chino speaking, Lonni land known as the Huk, as journalists and community members. We have the responsibility to engage critically with the legacy of colonists. Colonialist violence and to uplift the active and ongoing indigenous struggles connected to the land that we are gathered on tonight. If you wanna check out more, go to native land dot California, and if you live in the east bay, I'm asking, do you pay the Shmi land tax, which is led by indigenous women, find out more about Ante's work of reation and returning in indigenous lands to the people establishing a cemetery to reinter stolen alone, ancestral remains and building urban gardens, community centers and ceremonial spaces. So current and future generations of indigenous people can thrive in the bay area. Thank you so much for joining us. We are honored tonight to welcome author Cathy Cenzia Choy. Cathy is currently a professor of ethnic studies at our own UC Berkeley, and she has published multiple books around Asian American identity. And is here tonight to chat with us about her latest book, Asian American histories of the United States. Welcome Cathy. Yes. Thank you. Okay. I'm gonna do anode to the great poet Chinaka Hodges, and ask, who are your people and where do you come from? [00:03:19] Cathy Cenzia Choy: I am the daughter of Filipino immigrants born and raised in New York city. I've been in Berkeley since 2004, and UC Berkeley has been a very important institution and community for me. And it's just such an honor to be. Your presence today and tonight I wanna thank you Miko for taking the time to, to host this. I wanna acknowledge my family and friends who are in the audience, my husband and my daughter are here. And I'm so pleased about that. And I feel like I'm with my people right now. [00:04:03] Miko Lee: what are the legacies that you carry with you from your ancestors? [00:04:11] Cathy Cenzia Choy: Wow. These are really Deep questions. I know. I feel like I care, even though sometimes I'm not aware. All the details. I feel like I carry the histories of my ancestors, even though, as I write in the book. So many of us in including myself didn't grow up knowing much about Asian American history because it wasn't taught to us in our schools. And even with that I feel my ancestors' presence with me. And I especially thank my mother Petri, za and other family members for also making that presence alive in so many ways while I was growing [00:04:57] Miko Lee: up in New York city. And are there certain elements that you carry with you on the daily? [00:05:05] Cathy Cenzia Choy: I don't know. In terms of the daily, because now I'm at this point in my life where I've had many experiences and I. Learned more to own my voice. And I feel owning that voice like through speaking and through writing is something I've learned and carried from them. But it took me also some time to, to get to this point. And even though I've talked to so many people in public spaces I always feel still some, some. nerves every time. [00:05:50] Miko Lee: So maybe it's self-expression and passing on the torch to the next generation around storytelling, around [00:05:56] Cathy Cenzia Choy: teaching. Absolutely. I think one of the things that I try to impart in, in my teaching at UC Berkeley at university of Minnesota twin cities, where I had taught for six years prior to coming to Berkeley, I try to impart that, that lesson of learning to, to cultivate your confidence and to own your voice. [00:06:19] Miko Lee: Your book is such an interesting collection because you're talking about some deep Asian American history stories, and then you're intertwining it with your own personal stories. And I wonder if you could speak a little bit more about your personal family story and your her story and how that intertwines with Asian American, her story. [00:06:39] Cathy Cenzia Choy: One of the things that is different from in terms of this book compared to my previous two books, is that it was intended for a very broad audience. And given what Asian Americans have been going through in this country since 2020 in many ways it was also born out of some very difficult, challenging circumstances. And I've experienced like many Asian Americans have experienced since 2020, a level of fear and anxiety and grief, at what has been happening with the surgeon anti-Asian violence, its relation to coronavirus related anti-Asian racism and. all of this has infused a different approach to writing in this book. And I write in the first person, the second person in one chapter on, on world war II. And I write in the more traditional third person which is typical and scholarly history books. So when I write in the first person, I share personal experiences that are intertwined to these histories. And this includes some of the fear and anxiety I was already mentioning. And that concern about the surge in anti-Asian violence and that when I see those stories on the media I see my family members, I see my elders and. in the book. I talk about how I've talked to my children and I realize that they see me. And so that's one personal experience, but my husband is. And his family's history is also on the, in the book. There's one chapter titled 19, 19 declaration of independence and 1919, that declaration of independence is referring to the declaration of. Korean independence, both in Korea against Japanese imperialism but also a Korean Congress that came to Philadelphia in April 19, 19. And my husband's parents on his father's side were among those Korean independence activists in the early 20th century. And I share experiences also how we've tried to pass on Asian American history to our children. And I talk about a moment where we brought our son to the Japanese American Memorial garden in tan Farran, which is now a shopping mall, but used to be a horse racing track and then was converted into an assembly center or what they would call a relocation center which forcibly relocated Japanese Americans here in, in the bay area there before. Forcibly incarcerating them in internment camps during world Wari. So there's quite a bit of my history, my family's history in this, even though the, of, it's not the, all of the histories that I talked about, you're [00:09:50] Miko Lee: telling part of your family stories, but then you're also telling a bunch of personal stories, small stories of people to help really illuminate a moment in history. And I'm wondering how you went about the process of selecting those individual stories to help shed light on a bigger [00:10:03] Cathy Cenzia Choy: issue. Yeah that's a great question. I think that's one of the challenges with history, which has story in it history and is about communicating stories and the choices we make matter. So I chose stories that I felt reflected key moments events, groups in Asian American histories over the past almost 200 years. And the idea also was that in selecting these stories, many of which came from research, I had done in the past and also my teaching. But I also wanted to create this feeling in the book of engaging and inviting readers to think about what stories would they want to include and not to cut it off and say, these are the stories we need to know, but rather these are the stories of. People's families and communities. And what are the stories of your families and communities? [00:11:09] Miko Lee: So in a way, it's an invitation for the readers and the audience members to look at your personal stories and how they intertwine with Asian American [00:11:17] Cathy Cenzia Choy: history. Yes. I hope that one of my hopes is that the book is as accessible as possible and that it is shared across an incredibly diverse audience. Also multi-generational and it would mean a great deal to me, for people to share the histories in this book with their elders and people of their generation and younger generations. [00:11:44] Miko Lee: And speaking of stories and connections, one of the biggest connections of a API community is around our food. people. It doesn't matter where you are, people know about Asian food and Asian Pacific Islander food. And you have a whole section in your book that is an interlude around food. And I'm wondering if you can just read the bolded sections of the interlude to the audience as a teaser, and then we'll talk about it some [00:12:08] Cathy Cenzia Choy: more. Okay. Yes. I'd love that. Okay. We, [00:12:13] Miko Lee: so for those of you that haven't read the book, , here's a little bit of a teaser of what the book has to offer Yes. And just the fact there, there's an interlude in the book. Which is also do you wanna talk about that now or after you pretty different? [00:12:19] Cathy Cenzia Choy:  It's just it was, getting at a point that I had made earlier about how I wanted to write differently. I also felt compelled to write differently. And there's an interlude in the book and it's entitled 1965 reprise the faces behind the food. And I'm going to read an abridged version because this way of reading, it makes it like a shout out poem.yeah. So 1965 reprise the faces behind the food. This is for the Asian American faces behind the food that nourishes Americans and enriches American cuisine. The general public knows. So little about Asian American people, but our food is everywhere at one's exotic and mainstream. This is for Larry. I Italy on the Filipino American farm workers who started the grape strike in Delano, California in 1965. This is for Dawn Baan and those who champion labor history. This is for the over 300,000 Asian migrants, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Filipino, whose labor made sugar production, Hawaii top industry. This is for the Chinese workers who transformed tens of thousands of acres of California, swamp land into airable land, and who applied their ingenuity to orchards from Oregon to Florida. This is for the Chinese, Japanese and Filipino workers in the canned salmon industry of the Pacific Northwest. This is for the Japanese fruit and vegetable farmers. This is for the Asian, Indian, agricultural workers. Many of whom found work in California's fields in the early century. This is for the restaurant workers like chinch wing, who started working at an Americanized Chinese restaurant in 1936 in New York city. This is for the food service workers in cafeteria. This is for the writer and migrant worker, Carlos bloon. This is for de leaping sound who in 1956 became the first person of Asian descent elected to serve as a us representative and champion the farmers of his Southern California district. This is for Thai American. Who have a complicated relationship with Thai food because they are often conflated with it. This is for the monos. Mono is a term that conveys respect for Filipino elders in the 1920s and 1930s, they followed the crops from California to the Pacific Northwest. The Mons demonstrated their militancy. The 1965 grape strike was not an exception, but rather a singular point on a continuum. In the age of COVID 19 Asian Americans continued to be the many faces behind the food, using their creativity and leadership to promote communal care during a critical time. This is for Hannah DRA, a self-identified Pakistani American Muslim, and the co-founder of transformation. A technology platform that redistributes leftover, prepared food from restaurants and companies to places that need them like homeless shelters. This is for heart of dinner, whose mission is to nourish New York, city's Asian elders with love and food every week, the irony of Asian Americans producing America's food and enlivening, the overall food experience and the context of hate and violence has not been lost on them historically. And in the present day in March, 2021, people gathered at North Dakota state university in Fargo to protest against anti-Asian hatred. One poster red love us. Like you love our food. [00:16:51] Miko Lee: Thank you so much. Yes. Can make some noise. That's good. And if I may add, this is for. Adding all of your stories so that our Asian American history and tapestry can become richer and deeper. Thank you so much, Kathy, for sharing that. Now talk about why you wanted a kind of musical interlude in the middle of the book. [00:17:15] Cathy Cenzia Choy: It had to do with the histories the multiplicity that I emphasize in the book that there are multiple origins of Asian American history. And we should refer to these as Asian American histories, because my approach in the book is less about a linear, a traditional linear approach which can sometimes suggest causality or. Progress all the time and rather than take a linear approach. One of the things that's distinctive about the book is that the first substantive chapter begins with the year 2020. And the book concludes with 1869 and then each of the chapters. So it goes back in time and each of the chapters moves forward and back in time. So one of the chapters is titled 1965. And it's about the faces of post 1965 Asian America. And it's referring to the immigration and nationality act of 1965, which dramatically changed the democratic the demographics of our country. And. Yet, it was difficult to weave in seamlessly the story of Larry Italy and the Filipino farm workers and how important that grape strike was in, in Delano, California. And I thought to myself I don't ne I, I don't wanna put a, another chapter entitled 1965. So I'm gonna do, I'm gonna do this interlude and then, and write in a different way to give people a break from the style and then encourage you to give shout outs of your own. [00:18:57] Miko Lee: Thank you. Speaking of Larry Iley who in a bunch of your book, you talk about erasure or as Helen Z talks about missing in history. What are those moments that are MIH? And Larry I. Long is one of those many stories we always hear about Cezar Chavez and the great boycott when it was actually a Filipino man, Larry Ile that you write about. And I'm wondering after doing this exhaustive research for your book and as a professor, what are some kind of key missing in history moments? Do you think stand out in Asian American Pacific Islander history? [00:19:30] Cathy Cenzia Choy: There are key moments in every chapter in this book. In the first chapter on, on 2020 I talk about the disproportionate toll of COVID 19 on Filipino nurses in this country. And so one of the things that's MIH, which I've tried to address in my own research and was the topic of my first book was why and how the Philippines became the world's leading sending country of professional nurses and a specifically to, to the United States. And so in, in every chapter, the chapter after 2020 is one on 1975, and it's about Southeast Asian Americans and the refugee experience, but also the descendants of refugees in Southeast Asian immigrants. And so much of their stories are MIH because we are familiar with the Vietnam war, but often from the American perspective. And we, the. Participation of and Laosian Americans were part of a secret army and a secret war. So there's so many instances of that in every single chapter where this I, ideas of erasure secrecy being overlooked like Larry Ile who worked closely with Suor Chavez for years, they were director and assistant director of the U F w but many of us yes, know that story. [00:20:58] Miko Lee: I'm wondering if you could talk a little bit about the great former photojournalist quirky Lee and his impact, because I think one of those things about missing a history are those that have stood up to try and tell that story again, and you profile quirky. Can you tell a little bit the audience about Corky Lee and what he did. [00:21:14] Cathy Cenzia Choy: Yeah, well, thanks for giving me the opportunity Corky Lee was one of the most important, I think photo journalists of the late 20th and early 21st century and is such a pioneer in Asian American journalism. And he is just one of the over 1 million people we have lost in the United States as a result of COVID 19. And I wanted to honor his memory in the book. He was well known for taking a photograph of a sick American after nine 11 and so many sick Americans in our country after nine 11 were targeted for anti-Asian violence, they were conflated with the stereotypical image of what a terrorist might, might look like in our country. And so we took this photograph of a sick man wearing a red turban with the United States flag draped around his shoulders. And the other thing he's also very well known for is something that is a major theme in this book, which is the theme of erasure of Asian American history and experience in the overall us experience and that era. one of the key moments is in 1869 with the completion of the building of the first transcontinental railroad, which took place at a Ary summit in Utah. And this is a very important moment in, in the history of our nation as a symbol of our modern progress that, enabled us expansionism across the continent. And eventually also into the Hawaiian islands and Asia and Chinese workers at were. About 90% of the labor force of the central Pacific here in the Western region of building [00:23:17] Miko Lee: my family that railroad. Yes. Yeah. My ancestors built that railroad. [00:23:21] Cathy Cenzia Choy: Yes. I re we talked about that briefly and there might be other descendants here too of the railroad workers. And when they finally met at Promentory summit, there was a celebratory photo it's quite known and there was not a single Chinese worker in this photo. Not a single Chinese worker and quirky Lee. When he was in grade school, he remembered, learning about Chinese participation in the building of this railroad. And so he looked at that photo and he noticed that absence and erasure. And so I believe it was the hundred and 45th anniversary of the building of. that railroad. And he rest staged that iconic photograph. And this time he included the descendants of the Chinese railroad workers and other Asian Americans. And it was a joyous moment. And he referred to these moments, photographic justice. [00:24:24] Miko Lee: I love that whole even ethos of photographic justice. And you wrote in your book that was a 2014, that's so recent that this has happened. It's just this and also one person. And it also shows the power. Hello, ethnic studies, professors in the house, the power that he, this one, man heard this story and said, why isn't this being told, right? [00:24:46] Cathy Cenzia Choy: Yes. And that's the, one of my hopes for the book is you'll notice that in, throughout the book in the various chapters, I oppose these questions. No questions for us to think about. It's not solely about here's the experience and here are the dates and the years and the events, but it's the way we all participate in history, but by what we choose to remember to reflect upon and how we use that historical knowledge to, to move forward, [00:25:20] Miko Lee: next up listen to girl gang by Rubia barra That was girl gang by the amazing Ruby Abara. [00:27:26] Miko Lee: You are tuned into apex express on 94.1 K PFA and 89.3 K P F B. Now let's get back to my interview with author Kathleen. Cinzia joy. [00:27:41] Miko Lee: Keeping on with this conversation about erasure and representation, you quote this study by Nancy Angwin, who is amazing. That is it really recent last year, 2021 study that says 40% of films have no zero Asian American Pacific Islander representation and of the films that do have representation over 25% of the characters die, violent. talk to us a little bit more about what does that say? How is that connected to erasure? What does that mean to the broader multicultural universe? What does it say about Asian Americans? [00:28:19] Cathy Cenzia Choy: In that chapter I'm gonna paraphrase since I'm not directly reading from it, but in that chapter, I reflect on that study and those statistics. And one of the things that if you wanna look directly at that study because in the notes, there's the URL to it. You, you will read that those statistics are juxtaposed with statistics about anti-Asian violence in 20, 20 and 2021. And I posed the question in that chapter. Are you, are we human? If we're not portrayed in a dignified and humane way. in popular culture. And if the only representations or the major representations of you are as, one dimensional flat stereotypes. And if it gets to the point where you're so used to the narrative on screen, that you can expect that Asian or Asian American character to die and not make it, what does that do to our psyche and how we view real world Asian Americans. So I didn't share this in the book, but when my children were younger, I actually had this experience. We, we brought them to this action film and this Asian American character was on screen. and I remember putting my head down thinking, oh I really hope this character doesn't die. and I turned to my son who was quite young at the time, and I tried to like, prepare him for that. And then the character did die in, in, in the film. So it's that feeling of why are we seeing such similar stories over and over again? And how can we begin to change that narrative? [00:30:14] Miko Lee: Connected to that and connected to your earlier book about Filipino nurses. One of my pet peeves, I love watching doctor shows as just totally fluff. And one of my pet peeve is that there are never enough Asian doctors and I am in the bay area. Every single one of my doctors is Asian. So I've always been like, this is such I don't understand. And especially with how many Filipinos are in the medical profession. So can you expand a little bit more of that and bringing in your last book, which is empire of care, nursing and migration and Filipino American history? [00:30:50] Cathy Cenzia Choy: Yes, I oh the present the past present and future of American nursing is inextricably linked to the presence of Filipino American nurses in this country. And Filipino American nurses have been in the United States for six. Decades. Many of them are immigrants, so they were born and raised in the Philippines, but the United States has been their home and they have made this incredible contribution to us healthcare delivery. And California we are one of the beneficiaries of their labor they're in hospitals, they're in elder care. And in the book I mentioned the Emmys, I forgot what year that was, but one of the co-host Michael Shay actually, said can you believe, Hollywood is a diversity problem and can you believe they did 15 seasons of ER without one single Filipino nurse? And have you been to a hospital in this country? And I feel also that frustration and that irony and it's, I have to say it's. It was especially painful since 2020 because Filipino nurses and other Asian American healthcare workers were also among the targets of anti-Asian violence. And hate in this country, even while they were wearing medical scrubs. For example, there was testimony given and there's one hospitalist in, in New York who I I quote in, in the book who, who talked about this paradox that here they are contributing to the health of our nation and putting their lives on the line yes. Through exposure and dealing with this hate and violence. And he said, it's really challenging being. celebrated and villainized at the same time. And that's the problem when so much of our common understanding or what we think is an understanding of Asian Americans is based on stereotypes. Because stereotypes are flat. They're one dimensional. They dehumanize even the most seemingly positive ones. [00:33:13] Miko Lee: Okay. I wanna talk about a different topic, which is in 1997, time magazine released this cover and on the cover where all these cute Asians, and it said the model minority. And I remember being in school and my teacher bringing that in and showing that magazine cover the class and pointing to me and I just had this like visceral gut reaction to it. Can you talk about how the model minority, the whole ethos of model minority has been used as a tool for white SuPM. [00:33:49] Cathy Cenzia Choy: I, I appreciate you phrasing the question that way. The model minority stereotype, which is a myth is such a complex stereotype. And some people might say, the model minority is about Asian Americans being smart and economically successful. And what's wrong with that? Isn't that positive? Isn't that the best kind of branding any group or could ask for. And it is a tool of divide and conquer. It is a tool of white supremacy which is, I think the way I understand. You're phrasing of the question because it too has a history. And part of that history is emerging in the late 1960s during civil rights and other, social movement protests, and having media stories quoting academics as experts contrasting Asian Americans as successful model minorities who don't complain. Don't ask for government help pull themselves up by their bootstraps in contrast to black Americans. And it was really direct like that now in, in contrast to African Americans who are protesting and demanding justice and change from the government this is a. Strategy of divide and conquer and prevent us from seeing. So in some ways it's another form of erasure that I talk about in the book that there's this longer history of Asian American and black solidarity and friendship living in neighborhoods together, working together in organizing [00:35:39] Miko Lee: together, [00:35:39] Cathy Cenzia Choy: organizing together work, interracial relationships and families. And we're [00:35:45] Miko Lee: talking about you, Grace Lee [00:35:46] Cathy Cenzia Choy: Boggs yes, I right. Grace Gracely BOS is certainly, part of that, one of many right. One, one of many who was married to James Boggs, a a black auto worker and author and activist. And they were married for a long time and together created. Summer which was this community, youth based organization and out of that love and marriage and mutual activism created something which is relating to another main theme in the book of resistance. It's like that creative spark like Detroit summer to create community gardens and to paint murals and to have intergenerational dialogues and to move forward in, in the most hopeful and an inclusive. Possible. And that's just one example. [00:36:42] Miko Lee: Yeah. I appreciate how in the book you're talking about erasure, you're having resistance stories, and then you did bring up talking about mixed race and global adoption. And I know your former book was around global families. So I am you share some really lovely tidbits in there, like about Punjabi Mexican communities that I think maybe folks don't know about, or maybe folks in the bay area went to go see the amazing Bonura ballet folk, Loco production that told that whole story in dance that Joti sing and Zenon Beon did. But you also talk about Kip full books' book about Hopper's mixed race folks. So do you feel that and your own kids are mixed race? My own kids are also mixed race different Asian ethnicities together. I'm wondering. Okay, sorry, this is a long question, but I'm thinking back to years ago, the amazing performer David photo Moto did a production where he came out, dressed in Scottish. It came out, dressed in entire Kabuki outfit with a kimono and a face, and he did a whole entire Kabuki dance and then picked up his bagpipe and played a Scottish bagpipe. And it was such a great combo of his two cultures that he meshed together and that he was sharing about himself with the audience. So with that being said, and with your both personal family story, and you're having written this book, what is your take on cross racial adoption and mixed race folks being a bridge to the future? [00:38:17] Cathy Cenzia Choy: well, so it's an interesting way of saying that because I think in that chapter, which is titled 1953 mixed race lives I don't necess, I do say they're about our future because our future is multiracial. And we know that since the 2000 census and in the most recent 20, 20 census we know that an exponential number. The largest growing group are of people who I identify as more than one racial category. But one of the key things I key points that I make in that chapter is that being a mixed race and multiracial is not solely about our future, but it's also about our past and our present. and we have a multiracial past. And that includes some key examples in the, in that chapter are early 19th century Chinese and Irish marriages and in New York city and east Bengali Puerto Rican, African American, west Indian families and communities in Harlem and Filipino and Irish multiple generational families in new Orleans. And you had mentioned, P Punjabi Mexican Americans from Texas to California and MES Filipino, Mexican family is especially in Southern California. That is just as much about our past and our present as, as well as our future and the adoptees also figure in, in, in that chapter and 1953 each year serves as a touchstone for going back and forth in time. 1953 is referring to the end of the Korean war and how foundational the international adoption, especially by American families of mixed race Korean and American children, born of us servicemen and Korean women. How important that group was in terms of transforming the United States into an international adoption nation to. Which, which leads the world in terms of internationally adopting children. And even though Russia, Guatemala Romania, Ukraine are also major sending countries of adoptive children to the United States. Most of those adoptive children are from Asian countries and Korea plays an important role in that history, but so does Japan and Vietnam as, as well. And they're an important part of Asian American history that I also think tends to be marginalized in our understanding of the Asian American experience. [00:41:09] Miko Lee: Okay. My last questions before we open it up to our lovely audiences, juicy questions is what would you like readers to walk away with after reading your book? [00:41:20] Cathy Cenzia Choy: I would love for readers to walk away with a more. nuanced and deeper understanding of Asian American histories and to reflect upon how relevant that is for this moment. This is a moment when so many of us are confronting so many different existential crises from climate to economic insecurity, but since 2020 for Asian Americans, this this dual crises of the pandemic and the surge in anti-Asian hate has really made an impact on so many of us and our communities. And I believe that understanding Asian American histories, understanding them as multidimensional human beings, who are part of the American experience Is one important step to, to reduce and end this violence. Thank [00:42:24] Miko Lee: you. Okay. We're passing out cards. Do we have, oh, we have some collected. Rolling. Does anybody have any questions? Does anybody have any questions? Oh, wow. [00:42:34] Cathy Cenzia Choy: Yeah, jump in the [00:42:35] Miko Lee: card. Okay. I read this. Can you talk a little bit about medical scapegoating, which you mentioned in your book? [00:42:44] Cathy Cenzia Choy: Yes. One of the things that we are observing since 2020, and since COVID 19 has become a pandemic, is that medical scapegoating of Asian Americans. And in the book, I talk about how there's a long history of anti-Asian medical scapegoating that is as old as the oldest migration. Oldest mass migration of Asians to, to the United States. And in the second half of the 19th century Chinese and by extension Chinese American bodies were blamed for smallpox outbreaks. Japanese immigrants were blamed for typhoid. South migrants were associated with hookworm. And what this does is that it scapegoats people, it dehumanizes them and makes them targets for egregious forms of violence. And that what we are experiencing today is not new. And this relates to that point about kind of one of my hopes for the book is that learning and engaging about these histories is really important. To end this medical scapegoating and the violence that accompanies it. [00:44:02] Miko Lee: I think people don't even realize that China towns were burned down during those times, too. [00:44:07] Cathy Cenzia Choy: Yes, I in addition to erasure and resistance violence is a third major theme, of the book and violence means many different things. We, in the media, it often focuses on the most egregious forms of violence like mass shooting. But the anti-Asian hate incidents and violence have ranged from bullying and harassment in schools, spitting on Asian Americans name calling I'm telling Asian Americans to go back to where they, they came from and you were referring to arson and burning down of Chinatowns and , this was something here in California and in, in the Pacific Northwest the method of anti-Asian violence was all often in the form of expulsion of Chinese from their communities through arson shooting stoning threats, [00:45:04] Miko Lee: right. You talked a little bit in the beginning, and this is an audience question. You talked a little bit in the beginning about the order of the book and we had you read the interlude and you said that it was done in a different order, starting with, 20, 20. Can you talk a little bit more about your thought process in creating the book in this kind of non-linear time structure? [00:45:24] Cathy Cenzia Choy: In the preface I write and also in the acknowledgements I give thanks to my students over so many years at university of Minnesota UC Berkeley especially but also other institutions that earlier in, in my career, I've learned so much from my students, from listening to them from engaging in dialogue about what we're reading. And in spring of 2021, I taught this class on Asian American history in the age of COVID 19. And some of the students were telling me that they really appreciated having taken previous courses in Asian American history, but how sometimes the courses they would go in that linear approach and then primarily end. Maybe in like the 1980s or maybe the, the glass class would be here, are these contemporary issues now related to all the things that we've talked about. And they were just voicing, some concern about how is history relevant today. And so I played with the chronology using a non-linear approach to make this point that Asian American history is relevant. Now, it's relevant in 2020, it's relevant in 1975. It's relevant in 1953. It's relevant in 1869. And it's relevant right now. And we're all we're all a part [00:46:59] Miko Lee: of it. So I'm gonna combine a few questions here. And this one is really about the different waves of Asian American immigration and how those impacted the storytelling. And I think. The different, there's different immigrant communities have gone into really specific fields for instance, Chinese laundries and, Vietnamese nail salons, Cambodian donut shops. Can you talk a little bit about how the storytelling is connected to the different waves of immigration first generation second, third generation? [00:47:35] Cathy Cenzia Choy: Yes that's a great question. And the book is not organized that way in the sense, like this year represents a particular wave and so does the next year. But there are particular chapters in the book that refer to immigration waves. And one of the chapters not the 1965 reprise, but there is a chapter 1965 about the faces of post 1965 Asian America and 1965 referring to the immigration act. Of 1965 is often considered this a major wave and a new kind of immigration that was different from late 19th and then early 20th century waves of immigration. Because by that point, immigration policy had created preferences for highly educated persons with needed skills. And one of the reasons why we are seeing so many Asian immigrant professionals in the United States is not an outcome of our innate ability in stem. But is also an outcome of but is an outcome of immigration policy. It's not in any ability there's quite a bit of training, that, that goes into it. And I actually didn't have much talent in the stem fields, even though I write sometimes about them like, like nursing but in the chapter, 1975 trauma and transformation, I talk about waves theory and how there's often the conceptualization of three different kinds of waves to describe Southeast Asian refugees to the United States with. the first wave beginning immediately after the fall of psych on in 1975 tended to be this wave of people who Southeast Asians who had connections to the us military there, I had worked with them and were more highly educated. And that was part of the first wave. And then the second wave, which is sometimes referred to as the boat people, even though a number of Asian American studies scholars have criticized the use of that term because it obscures their heroic will to live, but more, more, much more di diverse, ethnically a lot of Chinese Vietnamese people of farming backgrounds from rural areas in contrast to the first and then like this third wave that, that came later that involved groups like ations and even later than that also immigrants through immigration policy as opposed to, to refugee policy. And what I also point out is that these kinds of conceptualizations are important. They help us, understand historically some major changes in terms of Southeast Asian American demographics in this country. But I wanted to emphasize, so I write in the book, waves are constantly moving and taking different shapes. And in 2000 there was a new group of refugees who were resettled in Minnesota. And this is a living history and that newer waves of refugees are coming from Myanmar and Butan and who are working in places like. The state of Iowa and working in our meat packing plants and who also have been exposed disproportionately to COVID 19 because then president Donald Trump had invoked the defense production act to keep meat, packing plants open. So waves are important, but they're not set and they're always moving and flowing like our histories [00:51:16] Miko Lee: as a follow up to that. One of our audience members has a question about how many immigrants have when they first arrive have been exploited in their labor positions. And they're wondering if you could share some positive stories and I M I wonder if you could share with the audience about uncle Ted and what he did with donuts [00:51:35] Cathy Cenzia Choy: well, I think. it isn't it isn't as though there are positive and negative stories, oftentimes when you are really deeply engaging with these histories and these stories, there's often these moments that might be negative and then others that are more positive. And I think that adds to the humanity of people. And so just to give an, the example of the Filipino healthcare workers, some of 'em are nurses, but are also working in elder care. And some of those conditions that they're working in are very challenging. It's very challenging to be a caregiver. And at the same time, so many of them also take pride in their. I don't wanna portray them as just solely being, having a negative experience. They're proud of their caregiving and we need to care for our caregivers a bit more in this country. In terms of positive stories, so one thing I'll share is there's this and this is an example. I, I feel of resistance and that creative spark there's something called the south Asian American digital archive SAA D and they have this project called the first day's project. And it's a project where immigrants, regardless of immigrants from around the world can share their story on this digital platform to describe their first days in, in the United States. And. Even though these first days have a mix of like positive and negative aspects. I have to say while reading these stories it brought just smile and joy. For me and reading these stories that are so unique and universal at the first time, same time. And so one of the stories was of this young girl who was nine years old back in, in the early 2000 tens and she was from Nepal. And so she came from Nepal and she was. I imagine they were, they landed at SFO and then they had to go to San Pablo and she wrote she said I was disappointed that what I saw wasn't like, TV shows of New York city with all those tall buildings and all that fun stuff, but she took her first Bart ride. And she said that was just so amazing. She had never been on this kind of faster public transportation that brought them from San Francisco to San Pablo and something like 40 minutes. And then she said, she was working really hard. She was like nine years old. And then she became, because her, both her parents were working, I believe in the fast food industry. And she had a younger sister, so she had to learn how to cook for her parents and her. Her sister and even some extended family. And so she said I learned English from like watching, watching the joy of painting with Bob Ross. Wow. Yes. And then she said she watched shows with Rachel Ray and em, Emerald Lagosi like on food network and, and she said like she wanted to become, she learned from those shows.

V turistični oddaji smo slišali, da ima Slovenija veliko neizkoriščenega potenciala v api- in ornitološkem turizmu. Ustavili smo se tudi pri rimski kulinariki. Naše najstarejše mesto je bilo v znamenju Rimskih iger, katerih pomemben del so tudi dobrote tistega časa. V ponovitvah potopisnih klepetov pa smo znova spoznavali Butan.

Here is the second episode of the Summer Edition and for this episode I decided to focus on Latin America so I selected 2 clips from 2 very interesting conversations about different aspects of the Latin American continent. I want to start by mentioning the clip from the episode about Suriname - that will come on the second part of this episode, so stick around to learn about Suriname's economic development. But first, we will talk about Fintech Funding in Latin America and this clip is from the episode Latin America's Fintech Funding Gold Rush. As you might know, financial inclusion is a recurring theme here on the EMT - so I invited Guy Hartstein a VC analyst from Recharge Capital, LP backed fund with a strong focus in emerging markets. He told me about the exciting fintech trends in the region, how valuations are different in LatAm compared to the US and what he looks for in a company before making a deal. And here is the second clip from one of my favorite episodes of 2022: Suriname Economic Development and Wildlife Conservation - I wanted to talk about Suriname and you will learn a lot about the country's economic situation. I invited Monique Pool, the founder of Green Heritage Fund Suriname. We talked about everything from economic development to how urbanization is affecting the country's wildlife. Monique told me that Suriname is one of the 3 carbon negative countries (along with Butan and Panama) and how she envisions Suriname's future, hopefully with a green economic development mindset.

V turistični oddaji smo preverili, koliko turističnih bonov je še neizkoriščenih ali jih bodo podaljšali. // Potem ko so v prejšnjih dneh v mnogih krajih pri nas in po svetu zasijale praznične luči, smo predstavili mariborsko praznično ponudbo. Ob koncu oddaje smo še zadnjič odpotovali v unikatno kraljevino – Butan.

V turistični oddaji smo predstavili zbirko 4-ih knjig z zgodbami in recepti vseh jedi, ki sestavljajo piramido Strategije gastronomije Slovenije. Ustavili smo se tudi na stojnici pred Turistično informacijskim centrom Maribor, kjer se je s turistično ponudbo predstavilo srbsko mesto Kraljevo. Od tam pa smo znova odpotovali v prav posebno deželo – Butan.

V teh zelo resnih časih pride na nočni obisk klovn, animator in voditelj, pa tudi mož in oče Gorazd Špegel. Kot bolnišnični klovn Dodo razveseljuje male paciente na otroških oddelkih bolnišnic, kot klovn Srečko pa obiskuje stanovalce domov za starejše. Poleg tega počne še marsikaj: pogovarjali se bomo tudi o tem, kako je na njegovo delo, povezano z ljudmi in dogodki zanje, vplivala epidemija. V nadaljevanju pa še o projektnem učenju za mlajše odrasle in spoznavali bomo Butan. V nočno družbo vabi voditeljica Lidija Cokan.

V oddaji govorimo o novi pridobitvi na Ptuju; nedavno so tam predstavili pohodniško pot med vinogradi in sadovnjaki s panoramskimi razgledi na naše najstarejše mesto. Potem ko se bomo sprehodili po ptujskem mestnem vrhu, pa bomo odpotovali še v deželo grmečega zmaja – Butan.

Aklın Yolu Özel bölümü. Butan krallığını asırlardır süregelen mutluluğunun sırrı.

We dromen over emigreren naar Butan maar in plaats daarvan keek Gijs een confronterende Deense film over de midlifecrisis. Moeten we op zoek naar spanning of toch maar zwelgen in vastgeroeste huiselijkheid? Teun werd 50, viel samen met zijn leeftijd en heeft tot verwarring van Gijs plots het antwoord op alles. Er werd geen focaccia gemaakt, Teun deelt zijn kennis over de circle jerk en Gijs vertelt een mop. Met Hanneke bespreken we de verschrikking van ouder worden tegenover het genot van oud zijn en Gijs was nog nooit zo tevreden over zijn Beatles-tip.

Missions Update I want to begin this morning with a missions update from our partners in India. We support two couples, Tia and Atula and Murry and Louivani. They have a two-fold mission. First they train up students in a seminary and provide them training for the pastorate and the mission field. Recently they have moved their seminary from Bagalore which is the tech capital of the world to a more strategic spot in the north called Nagaland. It’s a little different up here. The reason they moved their seminary is because there is access to the neighboring countries, Mynmar, Bangladesh, Butan. Their seminary is in the city but they can, in a relatively short period of time, reach into the tribes and minister to them. This a mix of spiritism anamism, budhism, muslim and hindu. It’s an incredible opportunity. They recently purchased a plot of land for a seminary and we have been saving to give toward this project so we were able to give $40,000 toward this facility and we are so excited to be partners with them. You or I would have a hard time getting into some of these countries, but many of the students and graduates are either from these countries or are going there as missionaries. We are so thankful to be in partnership with them. Please pray for them as they work so hard for the Lord. Introduction Have you ever been confronted by someone and you know the message is true but you refuse to admit it. In fact, you MUST NOT confess it because the implications are too overwhelming. Let me give you an example in my own life. We built an extra room onto the side of our house a few years ago. My wife and I had agreed on the design. So I’m framing up the walls and I’m really exciting that I’m making good progress. I’m efficient, I’m being incredibly productive. I’m flying. Lisa had been gone running some errands and couldn’t wait to show her how much progress I had made. So she comes in and I can tell by the look on her face something’s wrong. I hate that look. And sure enough she says, “Well, that’s not going work. We need another window right here." And I could feel my emotional zeal for life getting sucked out of my soul like a tornado. So I objected,”What do you mean you don’t like it? What’s not to like? Why do we need another window?" And then she gave me some reasons. Well: It would be more symmetrical. It would let in more light. It would give the room a more open feel. Now if you were to stop me right there. Objectively speaking, do you agree with her points. I would have said yes to all three, an emphatic yes. I actually love windows. Here’s what I said: I mean, symmetry? It’s is all a matter of perspective. Symmetrical to what? Sometimes asymmetrical looks better. Let in more light? There’s giant trees shading the whole yard. That’s not going to let it more light? What do you mean open feel? Define open. The ceilings are vaulted and 15 feet high. How much more open can you get? The insanity! I agreed with her and yet I communicated disagreement. Why? Because I didn’t like the implication of her being right. If she’s right than I’ve got to tear down and and rebuild and I don’t want to. Now in the end, I confessed. She smiled. And the room looks awesome. Now it’s one thing to have to tear out a few studs and rebuild a partial portion of a single wall; it’s one thing to swallow a bit of pride and lose an hour or so of my life. Not so big a deal. But it’s another thing entirely to realize that your entire life, everything you have worked so hard for, has been built upon the wrong foundation. To realize that every stud you’ve laid, every nail you’ve pounded, every ounce of energy you’ve invested, every dollar you spent, everything - 100% of it needs to be tore out. Why? Because the entire foundation of you life is incorrect. It needs to be jackhammered out, hauled to the dump and you need to reform and repour the whole thing. Everything you have been living for has been a complete waste. That, my friends, EVEN IF YOU ARE 100 percent convinced, is not easy to admit. You see, this is why many cannot come to Jesus Christ. Not because they don’t have enough evidence, not because they suspect the evidence is untrue. The real issue - and it operates mostly on the level of the subconscious - is that they don’t like the implications of the evidence. In our passages last week Jesus said, “I am the bread of life.” If you accept that, if you believe that Jesus is in fact the ONLY source of TRUE LIFE, then that necessarily DEMANDS that things you’ve been chasing are NOT life.* The career, the girl, the family, the money, the glory, the degree, the job. These things are NOT life. If you admit that Jesus Christ is the source of LIFE, then you have to admit you’ve been wasting your life barking up the wrong tree. And that means we need to break out the jackhammer and break up the foundation upon which we’ve built our entire life. Today, all of us will be offended at some aspect of the message. This is maybe the most offensive chapter in all the Bible. So, if you aren’t offended, I probably haven’t done my job. But here’s the encouragement, if you can receive it, there’s life waiting for you. True life. Abundant life. Everlasting life. Review Let’s review. Last week we saw Jesus confronting the shallow interest of the crowds.He was confronting this shallow, genie-in-a-bottle interest in Jesus’ miracle working ability. They wanted Jesus to fill their belly, to add another couple zero’s on the end of their bank account. They didn’t want him. They only wanted what they could get from him. Jesus confronted this; you guys are all focused on the plane of your crude human needs. You need to stop looking for bread that perishes and instead work for the bread that never perishes. And the natural question is well, what is the bread that never perishes and how do I get it? What is the bread. Jesus says? I am the bread of life. John 6:40, “…everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.” LIFE! Zoa. Jesus is claiming to be that life. And the way you get it is to believe. Believe who Jesus claims to be. Everything we read last week was the claim. What we are going to see this week and next week is the response. And here is what we are going to discover. This claim that Jesus is the bread of life come down from heaven is UNIVERSALLY OFFENSIVE. No human being who truly hears and understands what Jesus is saying accepts it without offense. Today we are going to look at five ways that Jesus’ offer to be the bread of life offends us and how we can move from offense to worship. So Jesus has just finished saying, “I am the bread of life”. Here’s the response from the religious leaders. Jesus is offering them eternal LIFE in himself; but in order to get the life you have to believe the claim. Jesus has them on the horns of a dilemma. Because on the one hand they cannot outright dismiss him. Why? He’s been healing people like crazy. He just multiplied bread and fish so as to feed 10,000 people. He’s healed the blind, lame, deaf. So they cannot dismiss him, but on the other hand, his claims are outright unbelievable, “I have come down from heaven?” Come on!? Now, they have to come up with some sort of explanation for what they see and hear but this is not it. Even though it doesn’t say it outright, I could guess at their explanation. Here’s a miracle worker; miracle workers in the Bible are prophets. They’ve got a category for that. That’s what made sense to them. Here’s a man, a regular homo-sapien, who has prophet-like access to God. That’s what my intuition tells me. But Jesus says. Nope. Here’s what’s really going on. I have come down from heaven. Just like we would say, “I’ve come down from McCall,” Jesus said, “I actually used to live in heaven. Now I live here on earth.”Jesus says, I came down from heaven. It’s a major focus of chapter 6. Look how many time the phrase is used in chapter 6. How could a man come down from heaven? That’s totally and completely counter-intuitive. Jesus says, your right. “I’m actually not a man.” God has given me power to raise the dead and judge the world. You see, I am a GOD-MAN. Well I wasn’t expecting that! How could a God-man look just like me? They definitely had an expectation about Messiah and it wasn’t this. If Jesus is who he claims, God come down from heaven, I certainly wouldn’t expect him to come this way. So normally. So undramatically. To Nazareth? Does anything good come out of Nazareth? My intuition tells me coming from heaven doesn’t work like that. But let me ask you, “Does that make it not true?” Just because something isn’t intuitive, doesn’t make it untrue. The theory of relativity is not intuitive - at all. Does that make it not true? Something that upsets our intuition and upsets our expectations is not evidence of it not being true. It’s just evidence that our intuition and expectations are incorrect. There are thousands of things that are counterintuitive but are still true. To refuse them on the basis that they upset intuition is to the epitome of pride because it makes conformity to intuition the definition of truth. I wouldn’t have expected Messiah to turn water into wine is a strange miracle to begin the public ministry of Jesus Christ. So be it. My expectations are wrong. Shall I be offended or learn from it? Humility is letting truth inform your intuition. In fact is often the act of upsetting expectations and intuitions that lead us to the truth. Before you became a Christian you might have had a way to explain Christian behavior. I know why religious people try to be moral. They are trying to work their way to heaven. But then you realize, nobody who is a true follower of Christ is trying to work their way to heaven. That counter-intuitive discovery will lead you to the truth. Jesus says, “I am the Bread of Life.” That claim offends our intuition. That’s our first point. In other words, when Jesus says, “I am the bread of life” our natural inclination is to say, thank you but no thank you. I don’t want that. When Jesus hears them grumbling about having come down from heaven he says, Now you think the first two were offensive. This, to many, is downright repugnant. What we are reading about here is what theologians call the doctrine of election. Election speaks to the divine force responsible BEHIND our CHOICE to submit to God. Or to state it more simply, “Who chooses God? Do you choose God or does God choose you?” This is a thorny question. You come at this question wrong and your liable to get poked and bleed. But if we’ve learned anything thus far in the sermon. Don’t trust your intuition and don’t assume it’s going to be like you expected. Do we really expect God to match our human intuitions? Don’t judge by the external appearance alone. If you watch any survival shows, you know that a barrel cactus can save your life in the desert because beneath the spiny exterior is a storehouse of life-giving water. The doctrine of election is like a spiny barrel cactus. Many will pass over it’s life giving water never knowing it’s even there. Some have heard that there is water inside, but get injured drinking it and then run away. But there are others who carefully listen to the instructions, pierce through that spiny exterior and the water is the sweetest, most satisfying, most nutritious, life-giving drink you could imagine and it quenches the thirsty soul. Here’s how the doctrine presents itself in the passage. The pharisees grumble at the claim that Jesus is from heaven. They don’t like it. And Jesus say, “Well that’s not surprising. That’s to be expected.” Why? Because no one can come to me unless the father who sent me draws him. In other words, he’s saying, unless the Father draws you, you will never find me attractive. Without God working on your heart, you won’t ever want me. Paul says the same thing in Romans 3:10: What does this doctrine teach? It teaches that the problem with the human condition is broken desire. We want the wrong things. We love the wrong things. There is a fundamental inability. Now what is that inability in specifics. Let me illustrate. Imagine for a moment that I sit you down at a table and give you two choices. On your left you have toasted cream brule and on your right you have ground up worms and slugs. Which would you choose? Okay, maybe that was a fluke. Let’s run the experiment again. cream brule or the ground up worms and slugs? 1000 times out of a thousand. 10,000 times out of 10,000 you will never choose the worm compote. Why? Is the problem that you cannot eat the worm and slugs? It’s not that I can’t eat it; it’s that I can’t want it. That’s my problem. The inability is in the domain of desire. When Paul says, “the natural mind is hostile to God” or “no one comes to me unless the father draws him” he’s saying not saying they can’t come to God, he’s saying they can’t want to. Our unaffected desires never move toward God. What the Bible teaches is that for us to move toward God, he’s got to move toward us. And the form of that movement is the love of God being pressed upon our hearts. The love of the Father is prior. It’s aggressive. It pounces. I want to talk about two things here: order and cause. There’s an order and a cause. Both are important. The order is God FIRST, then us. God’s love was first. And then that initiating love CAUSED us to love him. It is because he FIRST loved us that we then love him. That’s what Jesus is saying here, “No one can come to me, unless the father draws him.” This is offensive. Why? Because it strips us of any reason we can be congratulated. We can’t take credit for our good choice. If you make a good investment, you can take credit for it. But if the stock company accidentally liquidates your investments and transfers it to another portfolio and it skyrockets, you can’t congratulate yourself. God drew you. Is that what you expected? - No. Is that intuitive? - No. But is true? Absolutely. Now you may say, “No I choose Christ. He didn’t choose me.” Well, fine. But be consistent. If you are the one who chooses him, how do you know that someday you will not unchoose him? You can’t have it both ways. How do you know that you won’t foul the whole thing up again? Adam was created perfect and fouled the whole thing up. How do you know you won’t foul the whole thing up again? You see, here’s the beauty of it. Here’s why this doctrine is sweet, life-giving water. Because if God is the one who draws you, he is also the one who will keep you. And he is the one who will raise you up on the last day. And that’s exactly what he says next. Now my intellect is being confronted. Here’s why Jesus is not okay with their grumbling. Their grumbling was dangerous. Our grumbling is dangerous. Maybe you are grumbling about the nature of election. Why is that bad? Because it presupposed that our brain is the ultimate court in which God gets sorted out. If we just discuss this long enough, through our intellect and talking the matter over…with enough thought, we can make sense of this. If I can’t make sense of it, if the supreme court of my brain can’t sort this thing out, then it cannot be true. Here is the severe warning. As long as we are content to remain, confident in our own ability, our own intellect, our own intuitive sense of how things ought to be we will never seek divine insight and intellect outside ourselves. As long as we are content to assess our experience and the meaning of our experience using our own methods, we cannot come to the Christ. This is an issue of authority. When there is a contradiction who wins. It does not make sense to my intuition. I don’t desire it. And I can’t understand it. Yet, Jesus says it’s true. Which one wins? This is what is at stake. Jesus says, “They will all be taught by God.” This is a paraphrase of Isaiah 54:13, addressed to the restored city of Jerusalem that the prophet foresees: ‘All your sons will be taught by the LORD, and great will be your children’s peace.’ It’s a picture of restored Jerusalem drinking in knowledge from the source of knowledge. Jesus, you tell me what is true. You know that feeling when you are talking to an expert in their field. And they start explaining something and your brain goes into record mode. I trust every word that comes out of his or her mouth. That’s the picture. Total authority. Absolute knowledge. You believe it because you trust it because it’s true. The bread of life insults our intuition, offends our desire, disregards our intelligence, and now offends our vitality. What is meant here. There is a certain amount of pride that we carry within us that relates to our sense of vitality. I’m young and pretty. I’m young and athletic. I hike. I bike. I’m an academic. I’m an artist. I raft. These are all evidences of vitality. Jesus says, “That’s cute. But your going to die.” This is a nod to how we began our message last week. We are all dying. We are all playing a game of who can keep the water cupped in our hands the longest. What we didn’t talk about was why? Why are we dying? Answer: because we are starving. If you stop eating food you don’t die instantly. It takes a little bit of time. But you do die eventually. It’s a slow process of starving the body of what it needs. And because we are not eating the spiritual bread of life, we are dying. Well, Jesus says, if you want to live forever, if you want to have eternal zoa, then you need to eat the bread of life. Now here’s is where the offense, turns to disgust which turns to revulsion. Now here’s our final point. This offer of life offends our intuition, our desire, our intellect, our vitality. And finally…. What in the world does Jesus mean that we need to eat his flesh and drink his blood? First off, obviously this is a metaphor. But he’s pressing here, isn’t he. Let’s go back to what he said earlier in the text. Jesus said, if you want to receive the bread of heaven, you can’t work to receive it. The one work that earns the bread of heaven is to confess that you can’t do anything to earn the bread of heaven. That’s what he’s saying. You have to receive it. You have to believe in it. That’s how you receive it. You receive it by believing it. But then when we get here in verses 53–59, we see Jesus continually using present-tense verbs having to do with feeding. It’s clear that to be a Christian means to be continually in a process of feeding on Christ. And the terms are very graphic. The idea, is that being a Christian is not something you can dabble in. You have to take it inside of you. Think about food. If you want food to sustain you, you can’t be independent of it. Their is real power for it to sustain you. But exists out here. And you will die unless you take in inside of you. And it gets dissolved down and actually becomes part of you. That energy now courses through your veins. Being a Christian means that Jesus Christ becomes part of you in that way. That’s where the metaphor is pointing. As post crucifixion Christians understand the imagery far better than they did then. Jesus’ body was broken for us. His blood was spilled for us. And so taking that into us, means accepting the substitutionary sacrifice. The imagery of the OT sacrificial lamb now makes all the sense in the world. Remember passover was at hand here. Remember the first passover. The angel of death was going to go throughout all the land of Egypt and destroy every firstborn male. But if you killed a lamb and put it’s blood which symbolized it’s life over the doorpost, that angel of death would passover. And what were you to do with the lamb itself. You were to eat it. And it’s life given for you would now enter into you and sustain your life. That’s the picture. Communion Could we do church today and not do communion? My goodness, no. We come to the table this morning, ready to symbolically eat the flesh and drink the blood. It confronts and offends at almost every level. It offends my intuition, my expectations, ability, intellect, vitality and my independence. Why would we ever do it? Answer: Because it is the path to everlasting zoa. Life exists in the person of Jesus Christ. It’s in him. You cannot be independent of Jesus and live. What Jesus is really focusing on here is SOURCE. Where is the source of life to be found? Jesus says, I live BECAUSE of the Father. You will only live BECAUSE of me. I am the SOURCE of life. And you have to take me in. Now I want to illustrate this principle. You probably learned in elementry school that all life on planet earth exists because of the sun. It is the source of life. Well animals eat the plants or other animals and the plants get their energy from the sun. Not only all life, but all power. Cars move around because of fossil fuels. What are fossil fuels? They are decomposed buried dead organism - things that used to be alive. We get electricity from hydroelectric plants. Where does the rain water that powers the giant turbines at the bottom of dams come from? Evaporation from the ocean which is from the sun. Solar panels from the sun. Windpower from heating and cooling that comes from the sun. If it moves, is heated, reproduces, eats, grows.. it’s all from the sun. Jesus Christ is claiming take it one step further. And the sun exists because of me. “I am the bread of LIFE.” I am the SOURCE of everything. You cannot be INDEPENDENT of me and live. If you live, you will live BECAUSE OF me. Just as the SUN is the source of all power and life on earth so the SON is the SOURCE of the SOURCE. I am the SOURCE of ETERNAL LIFE, both bios and zoa. Can you see what it means to make him your Bread? Something is your meat and drink. Something is what you are making a beeline for because you think that’s living. Is it him? Is it a personal relationship with him? If it isn’t it will spoil. It will not endure, and neither will you. Come and eat the Bread and labor for the Bread and take the Bread that endures to eternal life.

In this episode of the Church Planting Podcast we talk with David Platt about the Covid 19 pandemic. If you would like to know more about David Platt you can follow the click link below.David PlattTranscription ALBERT: This is the Church Planting Podcast. Thank you for tuning inALBERT: Every week we sit down with leaders who are shaping church planting efforts.ALBERT: Here’s your host Josh Turansky and Clint Clifton.JOSH TURANSKY: Hey welcome to the Church Planting Podcast! My name is Josh Turansky and I’m joined remotely by Clint Clifton. And it’s good to be back with you to talk again about church planting. Clint, it’s great to be back with you. What’s going on in your life?CLINT CLIFTON: Man! We are just, you know, doing quarantine and I heard something yesterday. A guy was talking about “You know, I’ve had this experience where it seems like everything would go super slow but, in a sense, it feels like it’s flying by.” Are you having that experience too? Or is it going slow for you?JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah. Well, everything is weird. It’s very repetitive. It’s like the Groundhog Day effect.CLINT CLIFTON: Yes. It was on a Coronavirus daily podcast, and he was saying the way our memories work is novelty establishes our sense of time. So, when something new or unique happens, our brain puts a marker and says, “Like this is a moment in time.” So, anytime that we don’t have unique experiences then our timing gets all messed up when we have the same routine over and over again. And he was saying, “They don’t have to be big unique experiences, they just have to be slight modifications.” So, he was saying like the difference in eating you know, an apple for breakfast and eating oatmeal for breakfast would be one of those kinds of things that would help you mark time. You know? And so, just talking about shaking up your routine a little bit to make time not feel so disorienting. I thought it was a cool idea!JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah, that’s helpful! I will try that out. I’ve been cooking a lot of food around the house. I love to cook.CLINT CLIFTON: Me too! Yeah.JOSH TURANSKY: Really? Do you like to cook?CLINT CLIFTON: Well, I have a new love for it. I’ve never loved to cook until this season. Matter of fact, 11:30 last night I was up making homemade sweet potato fries.JOSH TURANSKY: Oh, that’s fun! I did this exercise. I think it was at the end of last week where I went back and I tried to think through all of my favorite meals I’ve ever eaten at different restaurants. And then I’m on a journey of recreating every one of those meals. And it’s been a fun science experiment and I’m doing it with my kids. And so, yeah, the Corona virus life!CLINT CLIFTON: You know, I actually went to Amazon and I got hooked on this thing called Taste. It’s like a video recipe you know? It’s just people making stuff but there’s this whole series on the Taste website or Facebook thing where they cook outside. And I don’t know, but there’s something about cooking outside that’s so cool to me. And I am addicted to these videos. I just watch them over and over again. And it’s made me order a few products that have helped me experiment with this. So, I haven’t actually moved my operation outside yet, but I’m very close. But I got myself a new knife, and some like woodblocks to cut my food on. So, I’m super excited. I’m getting jazzed about this. It’s the closest thing I have to a hobby since I was like 10.JOSH TURANSKY: I love it! That’s great. Yes! It’s good. Good. Good. Well, let’s talk about this episode. We’ve got, not really an interview. This is actually a teaching that David Platt gave to a small cohort of church planters. And go ahead and introduce it.CLINT CLIFTON: Yeah! Well, me and you were both part of it. I asked David to come and be a part of training some of our church planters. It wasn’t really so much a training as it was a talk to us about how you’re processing this situation, the COVID situation. Talk to us you know, in light of your passions. Of course, David’s passions are global mission and the great commission and making disciples and multiplying churches, those sorts of things. And so, I don’t know about you, but I’ve had the experience in my church of when I think about pushing my people on mission, it feels wrong. It’s like, “This isn’t the time for that. We should not be focused on that. This is a time to be focused on us.” But you know, there’s another part of my brain that says, “No, that’s totally jacked up! We cannot think like that.” And so, I was just curious you know, “Like David, can you lead us through your thinking about all of this.” And it was good! I don’t know. We were both there. It was like 2 hours of a zoom call where we were just talking about these things and he was downloading out about what he was thinking about. And so, what we did here is we just clipped it up and took kind of what I thought where the most memorable pieces of that or the most helpful pieces of what he said. And we’ve got about 15 minutes worth of it here for you today. So, we took 2 hours of David Platt, which is almost everything he says is profound. And we took 15 minutes of the most profound. So, that’s what you’re going to get today. With a little Josh and Clint mixed in the middle.JOSH TURANSKY: That’s right. Yeah! So, in the first segment here that we’re going to introduce, David starts by talking about COVID-19 and just the craziness of this season. And he’s going to emphasize the need for intimacy with the Lord. CLINT CLIFTON: Yeah. He does. You know, one of the things about observing him as I have over the last couple of years is, you know, he’s the real deal in terms of his walk with Jesus. He’s admirable in that regard and he really is striving for intimacy with God all of the time. And so, I’m challenged by that just by interactions with him. But to hear him talk about you know a season like this even more our focus should be on intimacy with the Father and yeah, so, he talks about that’s really compelling to me. And so, I wanted to include it in here and even start out our conversation today with that.JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah, let’s jump into that. Let’s hear a word from our sponsor, and then we’ll go straight into this first segment on intimacy with the Lord.CLINT CLIFTON: So much of what we do these days in ministry today takes place online. So, we need somebody to help us with the digital aspects of our ministry. Well I found a great partner in oneeightydigital.com. These guys are ministry guys, they love the gospel and they love the church and they’re super good at what they do. So I want to encourage you to go to over and check out their website it’s oneeightydigital.com. They do all kinds of stuff and they work with big and small churches. So, right now, they’re offering our listeners 20% off of any website or branding project just for mentioning the church planting podcast. So, go over to their website and check it out – oneeightydigital.comDAVID PLATT: Just think about yeah, where God has you, where God has me. He’s given us a leadership mantle and it can often times feel like lonely. Like who else right now really knows all that you’re struggling through? All that I’m struggling through? Like I hope, I trust that we have people in our lives who are honestly sharing with what’s going on in our lives and we were able to be vulnerable to those people. I hope that we always have that. I think the most dangerous times in my life have been when I’ve not had that. I’ve shared before just about one particularly long season in my time at the church of Brook Hills where yeah, I’d written radical. I was selling a bunch of books. I was being asked to preach all over the place. I was really busy in ministry. Doing a lot of stuff but doing it all apart from intimacy with Jesus. Totally apart from intimacy with Jesus. Like I never read the bible throughout that season. Just to read the bible, I read to prepare sermons but that was it! I never prayed just to be with the Lord. I hardly prayed privately. It was bad! And I look back on that time, and I’m so thankful for God’s grace because of all the different directions that this could have gone in. That by His grace, it didn’t go in. But all that to say, like to comeback to this truth like intimacy with God just like you and God. You and God. There’s nothing more essential, valuable, satisfying, there’s nothing better than that! And to realize that and I just praise God for His grace. And it was actually Heather who He used to really wake me up from this really bad place that I was in. And don’t get me wrong, I was working hard. Like working really hard in ministry. But I was totally missing the point. So, anyway, I hope I pray that in these days, like right now, I honestly don’t know around this zoom call where your intimacy with the Lord is, to the extent of which it’s missing. I hope that more than anything else in this call that this is just an encouragement meant to draw back into intimacy with Him.CLINT CLIFTON: Yeah so, David, as you heard there, is just encouraging us to intimacy with God and I hope that resonates with you like it resonates with me. I want to be that person that has a close relationship to walk with Jesus you know? Everybody I know who walked closely with Jesus, it’s seen and it’s experienced by those who are around them. By me when I’m around them. It’s in their countenances, it’s in their speech, and man I just want to be the kind of person that my children grow up thinking, “My dad walked with Jesus.” And my wife thinks, “My husband walks with Jesus.” And the people in my church think, “There’s an authenticity in my pastor’s faith. It’s not just his job or the thing he does.” And man, I just hope that that’s true about all of us. JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah, you know, what I appreciate about it as I was thinking on this call with David is that he became popular, maybe is the word. He became popular at the same time as a whole wave of other pastors kind of where called celebrity pastors. And it’s interesting how a lot of those guys have fallen off the boat or aren’t around anymore or aren’t pastoring and yet David is just plugging away. And I think it comes back to this idea of intimacy. He’s the real deal, he loves Jesus, and man, such good stuff! CLINT CLIFTON: Yeah. And I’m thinking, in some measure just to speak to that, I think some of the reason that he is still in it with so much light shined on him and his ministry is because he is scared to death of God. You know, he lives in the fear of God you know? It’s not just in the trembling of his voice when he’s preaching, but it’s in his life the trembling of his life before God. I mean he just seems to have like a center of reverence that most of us don’t have. And that’s one of the things I admire about him. But yeah, we’re going to turn now talking about global missions. And so, part of the purpose of the conversation was to really ask the question, “Like how do we global mission in this season?” Has that been a struggle for you Josh?JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah. It is. I mean we’re supporting our missionaries but it’s hard without being with the body to like disciple around at. I think it’s really important. But this part of the conversation, I just loved it! I’d never heard this story from David Platt that he’s going to tell here. And this really was inspiring!CLINT CLIFTON: Yeah. And you’re going to hear that he’s going to talk about a new category. Most of us are never going to go and become missionaries and reach parts of the world and among unreached people groups. But he’s going to give us category right now that everyone of us can become and will directly impact the spread of the Gospel among the unreached. So, let’s listen to this.DAVID PLATT: I just remembered the first time I ever sat, I was telling somebody about this yesterday, and opened the bible and somebody walked me through from Genesis to Revelations and showed me God’s passion for His glory in all the nations. I was in college at that time. I’ve been a Christian since I was 6 years old as much as I could tell. But I never really seen that at the scripture. And it totally sent my jaw to the ground just like, “This changes everything.” And I started reading “Let the Nations be Glad” by Piper and singing it over and over again in the scripture. And that made me conclude, as I went to seminary, “I think I need to be a missionary.” Because there’s tons of people that I started hearing about this unreached people groups that never heard the Gospel among them nations, among the ethne which I trust you realize that I use nations I’m not just talking about countries. We’re talking about ethnic groups, people groups, tribes, people, we’re just calling them nations those words that we see in scripture not just 200 or so geopolitical entities that we would call countries or nations today. But anyway, I started hearing about unreached people group and I said, “Okay. It’s a no brainer. I need to become a missionary.” And so, the president of the International Mission Board at that time when I was down in New Orleans seminary president of the IMB comes to preach in chapel, I get asked to take him to breakfast. I tell Helen the night before, “I’m taking the president of the IMB to breakfast and like this is my chance to tell him we’re ready to become missionaries. Is that okay with you if I tell him that?” She’s like, “Sure! That’s okay with me.” And we’ve talked about this a good amount. It wasn’t just like random conversation for dinner. So, we prayed like that night and the next morning like with anticipation, I go off, I sit down with Jerry Rankin. I sat down with Dr. Rankin I said, “Dr. Rankin I could see this all over the Word. I see the need in the world.” Just like pouring out my heart. “My wife and I are ready to go as missionaries.” And he looks back to me and for about 60 seconds encourages me to what I just said to him, and then spends the rest of the rest of breakfast talking to me about the need for pastors to shepherd churches among the reached for the spread of the Gospel to the unreached and for pastor just shepherd churches for the spread of God’s glory among all the nations. Well like big picture, my prayer, what’s driving away I think about this practically in McLean Bible church. My prayer, my hope, what I want to work towards is every member of this church living in such a way that if God where to pick them up from Metro DC and put them anywhere in the world, that they would be enabled, equipped, empowered, to make disciples and gather together as a church and be a church without dependence on any programs to do it for them, any professionals to do it for them, with just dependence on the scripture of God and the word of God. That they would know the word and the Spirit are sufficient for that task. And they would know how to do it. So, that’s the big picture that’s driving me. Here’s what I’m thinking about in the days to come. I don’t just want to return to business as usual, like “When are we going to get back to the way things were?” Like, “Yes! I cannot wait to gather together in person like with all with the church like no question.” But we don’t need to do everything we were doing before. Like we have an opportunity. A pretty unique opportunity to reset some things and to rethink some things and make sure as we come back, that we’re focusing what we need to focus on. Let’s not come back and let’s just start instituting everything we did before in ways that actually are not best for making disciples. Like, I want to think through other things we need to do differently. In our leadership, we want to continually evaluate, “Is this the most faithful effective way to make disciples?” And so, especially during these days, let’s think through not just how can we get back to the way things where. Like, how can we step into a new normal? And not just when it comes to, effects of vaccine or treatment or whatever but we’ve got an opportunity to come back together. And as we come back together, to really shape what people think about when it comes to how to make disciples most faithfully and effectively.JOSH TURANSKY: Man! Such good stuff again that David was sharing there. That really was impactful in my own life as I appreciate him sharing the story there from his seminary experience and the thrust. And the cool thing is this is not just story that happened, but he’s lived it! He’s lived it out! He’s doing it. CLINT CLIFTON: When you think about the implications of that conversation like what if David Platt had gone to the mission field, you know? I mean, I don’t know if there’s any in our generation, maybe John Piper, who has been a catalyst for more people going and giving their lives for the spread of the Gospel among the nations. Not to mention the books they’ve written and the sorts of things that they’ve done. So, very impactful conversation that happened with the young seminary student.JOSH TURANSKY: Man, that’s huge! Alright, let’s go into this next section where he’s going to talk about the reached diversity on reach. What were some of the things that you’re hoping that church planters will hear in this section?CLINT CLIFTON: Yeah, I mean he’s really talking about the dichotomy here between you know, loving those people that are right around us and caring for them but maintaining our responsibility to take the Gospel to places where it’s not known to preach Jesus in places where He’s not named. And yeah, he’s kind of making an argument of both and argument for us and you know, I think it’s really easy for us to say, “No. What Jesus wants for us is to reach more people.” When the truth is the great commission panta ta ethne is for us to take the gospel to all the people of the world which he unpacks here for us. And it really isn’t just about reaching more people. It’s about reaching more people according to Jesus’ command.JOSH TURANSKY: Amen! Yeah, great section. Let’s jump right into this third segment that David Platt shares.DAVID PLATT: Like some people could say, “David you’re talking about God’s glory among the nations. Don’t you care about like Washington DC? Like don’t you care about people who are right in front of you?” It’s like, “Yes.” And we don’t have to choose between caring about people in front of us or people far from us. And we actually care about what God cares about. And He cares about people right around us and people far from us. And I think about Jesus like he uses Elise for the Father’s glory among the nations. And he spent most of his life in a pretty isolated geographic area but he was doing something there. He was making disciples in ways that we’re going to reach far beyond that place. And he was doing it towards that end. And so, I would just say in thinking about God’s glory among the nations, how do we make His glory among the nations? Well it starts with making disciples right where God has called us to be. Like every single one of us is tempted to just focus on places that Gospel has gone. I say that because well it’s just reality when you look at missions, resources today from North American churches, 90 plus percent of our resources are spent in places where the Gospel has already gone. What makes them unreached is that they have little to no access to the Gospel. They don’t have people who can share the Gospel with them. They don’t have any churches in a lot of those places. So, hardly any churches that are preaching the Gospel.CLINT CLIFTON: Yeah, in this next section you’ll here in the beginning I actually asked David a question about COVID19 you know? Even I said this in the beginning but I sort felt a flatness to my zeal for global mission because I feel like this is just not the right time to talk about global mission when you need to be talking about other things. Right now, people are dealing with so much to just kind of lift their eyes up to the people in other parts of the world who are lost and without Christ is really not going to be helpful right now. It’s not going to be received well by our hearers. But he really turns that on its head in this little segment. And you know, sometimes when you ask somebody question you don’t expect a real substance of answer. But he gives us one here. He gave me one that’s been rattling around in my head for the last 2 weeks since he said it and has really shaped the way I’m talking to people about global mission in this season. JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah. I don’t want to steal the thunder but just like you said, it’s been rattling around in my head too so, don’t skip ahead! This is an important segment to listen to. Let’s jump right in! Segment number 4.24:04CLINT CLIFTON: I’m a 100% with you, but I know that to a church planter who’s trying to you know, trying to get their church out of the dirt in a middle of the Corona Virus you know, that seems like sort of a farfetched idea, you know? Even trying to leave my church for the commission at all. Can you think of any like bottom shelf ways to get going in that that you would encourage to lean into?DAVID PLATT: I would say simple bottom shelf ways one, this is why I was hesitant to like even go there today but why I decided to still go here today, in this conversation, that’s what we’re going through right now, because I just want to encourage every brother and sister on this call like, “What you are doing in personal ministry these days and disciple making these days on the smallest level, is a part of a global plan. And so, don’t ever underestimate like the care for like calling up a widow who is immunocompromised and finding out how to best care for her is totally disciple making, shepherding, loving the church for the spread of God’s glory among all the nations. She’s included in that for sure!” And even to go back to Jesus like I mean he spent most of his time with his 12 guys in a way that would made them lead beyond. So, one, don’t underestimate just the things you’re doing are part of the picture. So, if you’re walking with somebody who just lost somebody lost a family member or friend due to COVID19 I don’t think that’s necessarily the time to talk about unreached people in Butan. But to the extent of which it’s appropriate, so that’s what I mean by appropriate, so, one of the things I’m communicating is just think about what we’re walking through, think about urgent spiritual and physical need in the world like welcome to their world! Like there’s so many places in the world where you’re not guaranteed to meet supply, where you’re not guaranteed medical care that can heal you. Like this is a lot of people in the world that are living in a place that there is no cure for the simplest infection that we can get from a CVS even today and they don’t have access to that kind of medical care. And they never heard the Gospel. So, maybe just step into their world a bit. So, one, how can we pray for them? Introduce them to Joshua Project? Introduce them to ways to pray for the nations through that? And then two, just think through you know? Again, as appropriate. If somebody just lost their job and their trying to think, “How am I going to put food on the table for my family?” It’s probably not the best time to press in and say, “Yeah. How are you going to sacrifice more for the unreached in the world?” But at the same time, I was doing something last week with people who are living in slums and their sacrificing for the spread of the Gospel among people around them. So, I just think it’s a part of discipleship that we don’t want to neglect at any point. How to appropriately do that beyond this time? I would say there probably is! Some pulling back and pressing in really hard there. But always seeing what we’re doing on a day in day out basis as a part of the bigger picture and looking for way for us to connect to the bigger picture. I think we always want to do that.JOSH TURANSKY: Man, what a great paradigm to present. And it’s so true that people that we’re pastoring have had this taste of suffering that is a normal universal experience. And I love the fact that he brought this out. And it is so true and it’s a great way to capitalize on this moment. Why was it rattling around in your head Clint?CLINT CLIFTON: Well, just first of all, it’s just frustrating that there are people in this world that can see things like that when the rest of us can’t, you know? Why weren’t we all innately given the ability to like see that sliver of truth to highlight to people? Because man it is so great. The truth is maybe it actually changed the conversation for me from “This is a bad time to talk about global mission.” to “This is the perfect time to talk about global mission.” Because we are living in a Hosea kind of way. We are living the example that God wants to teach to us. I mean we are experiencing maybe for the first time in all of our lives as Americans, fear of you know, where’s are food going to come from? What’s going to happen to us economically? Are we going to be able to sustain ourselves? Are we going to have jobs? The fears that much of the world lives with daily. And I just think, after hearing him say that, “Man, what a cool opportunity it is for our people to gain a heart of empathy for those that need Jesus around the world.JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah. Brilliant! Brilliant! Let’s talk about this next segment, the final segment, number 5. I can’t remember if we asked him or he just started talking about faithfulness but this is really good.CLINT CLIFTON: Yeah, I don’t remember either but it is good. And I feel like this conversation happens a lot. I mean I’ve had many conversations about faithfulness. Matter fact, in church planting circles, we end up saying the phrase “successful church planter” or “unsuccessful church planter” a lot just because you know, it’s one of those things. If a guy goes and pastors an existing church, and the church is still there when he quits or gets fired or whatever, he’s been you know, in some measure, successful. Difficult to measure his success. I guess you can look at the numeric side of the church from when he left and stuff like that. But it’s not really something that happens in existing churches. But church planting is so raw. I mean if you go out to start a church and a year later there’s church there and you were successful, if it’s not there, then you are not successful. And so, I think we and up talking about success or failure a lot. And anytime that conversation comes up, there’s always somebody in the room who says you know, well, you know, “What does success mean really?” You know, they question the sort of world view of success which they should! It should be undermined. And David addresses that head on here. But he not only does that, but he goes further to tell us how he has interpreted success over the years and what it looks like specifically for him to be faithful. I never heard him say these things and it was helpful for me to think you know, I wonder if I have particular you know, kind of thoughts or ideals in my life that I say, “I’m doing this things that I am a success in God’s eyes.” “I am successful.” You know?JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah. Really good! Really good! So, let’s jump right in to this fifth segment. I love what he says here.DAVID PLATT: Only God can bring about disciples. Only God can bring new churches. Only God can bring about this that even spiritual growth in Christ only God can bring about. Now we can be faithful to do x things in order to work towards that. So, let’s clearly identify, what are the x things we can be faithful to do and then work out those. Last thing I’d say here, three things that have always come on my mind when it comes to faithfulness, I want to work hard at the things God’s told me to do, I want to work smart at the things God’s told me to do, and number three I want to trust God. Work hard, work smart, trust God. So, work really hard. I don’t want to be lazy! I say I don’t want to overwork in ways too but I want to work hard at the things God’s told me to do. I want to work smart just because I’m preaching the word, there might be ways I can think about preaching more effectively. And so, I want to think through those. So that’s the work smart. I want to care for every member of the church during this time. There might be smarter ways to do that, then do that. I want to connect with people who are far from Christ. So, what are the best ways to do that? So, work smart. And then if we’re working hard and working smart, then we can trust God. We can defer that to God.JOSH TURANSKY: Alright! So, there we go. That’s a word from David Platt. You know, because this podcast is primarily sponsored by New City Network and that is an arm of McLean Bible church where David Platt is a pastor, we have this unique access to David in that way and so, I just really appreciate you taking in and leveraging the relationship so that we can share this with the broader church planting audience.CLINT CLIFTON: Yeah. Thank you. Well, I mean like I said, this isn’t a commercial for David Platt. But like what I said at the beginning, he is the real deal. There’re many people that I’ve gotten to know in the ministry world that as I get to know them, the less I’m impressed with them and David’s not that guy. I’ve been more impressed with him and I’ve been challenged to follow Jesus in ways that I’m not generally when I hang out with pastors. Yeah, hope that we can all learn from this and we don’t get to say this very much but I so appreciate McLean Bible and their investment in this. They don’t have to do this. They don’t have to make it possible for us to have a podcast or you know, to train church planters or to invest in church planters but McLean Bible is so incredibly generous. And it’s so crazy because for so long I know you haven’t been in the Washington area long enough to understand this, but for so long the church not only wasn’t supportive of church planting. It kind of had a posture against it. And so, you know, it’s just been amazing to watch the leadership their starting with Lon Solomon, their previous pastor, that you know, under conviction from the Lord and response to the scripture, beginning to turn the trajectory of the church towards multiplication and mission. And now it’s in to the point that it’s embedded there in their mission statement. That they exist to glorify God by disciples and multiplying churches beginning in greater Washington DC. And so, it’s very cool to be a part of. It’s exciting to see a large church that they could do really anything they want from a resource stand point, put their energy into churches.JOSH TURANSKY: Amen! Amen. I’m grateful too! I’m just so blessed to see the example that they’re leading with and its good stuff. Good stuff! CLINT CLIFTON: Well that’s just fine Josh. Thanks!JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah. Thanks Clint.CLINT CLIFTON: Where do church planters come from? Well they don’t come from seminaries and they don’t come from a factory. Church Planters come from congregations. Their developed by Pastors who love and are prepared for Gospel ministry and sent out. But many churches don’t know where to begin and many Pastors are overwhelmed with the day to day duties of Pastoral ministry and don’t have time to put together a robust training program for the people in their congregation to be equipped. The North American Nation Board is helping with this. They have developed a thing called the Multiplication Pipeline. And it’s a three-level training course that takes place through multiple years for you to have the material and the guidance to get somebody in your congregation ready for church planting. The Multiplication Pipeline is available on NAMB’s website. You can find it at namb.net/pipelineALBERT: Thank you for listening to the church planting podcast.
