Thomas Doxiadis worked in the construction field before becoming an architect, eventually pursuing a Masters of Architecture and a Masters of Landscape Architecture at Harvard. He served in the Greek Navy and later worked as an architect for the Greek Olympics and at the same time taught at university. He then started his business which has been running for 25 years.  Managing Work Life Balance and Personal Growth Expanding from his professional life, Thomas spent the next 10 years exploring his mind, heart, and relationships with people. Through therapy, he found that people are much more interesting than he thought. He joined a coaching group called "Get Your Six," which focuses on treating oneself better through health, sleep, nutrition, exercise, relationships, emotions, and beliefs. The group is structured around six people sharing experiences and helping each other through different situations.   Life Lessons and Changes Thomas talks about life changes related to health, sleep, nutrition, and exercise. He explains that building a business from scratch and trying to be at the top of his field took a lot of focus and energy away from self-care. He emphasizes the importance of taking care of oneself, eating right, sleeping right, learning basic breathing and meditation techniques, and changing priorities. He also emphasizes exploring and understanding the stories of our lives that we construct and how we spend our energy.  Working in the Greek Navy Thomas shares his experiences in the Greek Navy, where he spent time guarding armaments and working with 18-year-olds, which was a strange situation for him after his time in the professional world, but he found solace in having fun and laughing more than he had in the last decade. He shares a story when he was on guard duty and thought he was under siege. Working in the Athens Olympics Thomas recounts his experience working on the Athens Olympics. He had a positive experience despite the short turn around time of three years to complete construction.  He worked on the design and construction of mega projects such as parts of  the Athenian sea front and coastal areas, Olympic villages, and sports infrastructure. Additionally, he worked on setting up the city's flags, banners, and animation programs. He also spent two years dealing with the environmental and green aspects of the Olympics. His highlight was organizing the first mass olive transplanting, which involved moving the old Athens horse race track to a new area and becoming the Olympic Equestrian Center. The area was full of ancient olive groves and vineyards, some of them as old as 3000 years. The trees were transplanted to create a park and part of the Olympic venues. The trees were reused for the redevelopment of the Athens airport, ensuring they would be a valuable asset for future generations. Growing up in Greece Thomas grew up in Greece in the seventies when Greece was still relatively untouched by economic growth and tourism. The rapid economic changes after Greece entered the European Union led to the destruction of places he loved. He studied architecture and landscape architecture to find a win-win solution to building on sensitive, culturally and ecologically important places. His work and portfolio have been built over the past 25 years, focusing on resolving this problem. Sustainable Development and Landscapes of Cohabitation Thomas has worked on several projects since his time at the Olympics. One of his most proud projects was working on a pristine Aegean Island, where he and a high school friend developed techniques called the landscapes of cohabitation, which focuses on symbiosis between the environment and human activity. This approach has transformed the local ecosystem and changed people's minds about landscape work. His most recent project is with an MIT graduate from Northern Italy who built an energy corporation in the US and now invests in a small village in Tuscany. They are working on a 200-year sustainability plan, involving climate modeling and climate modeling to understand the future of the village and bringing vitality back to rural areas.  Progressive Adaption to Climate Change  Thomas' goal is to revive the countryside and lead it towards a better and more sustainable future, especially as climate change makes a better future more difficult. The European Union has been funding climate change adaptation programs for countries and universities for the last decade. These programs aim to understand the main impacts of climate change on public health, infrastructure, economy, and tourism. Landscapes are not just visual representations of environmental changes, but also provide a spatial understanding of what will happen due to climate change. Thomas talks about nine case studies that have been conducted across Greece, covering a region the size of Cape Cod. The eastern Mediterranean will be one of the most impacted areas globally, with heat waves, fire, and changing conditions. The European Union stopped spending on mitigation a decade ago and started spending on adaptation. Thomas explains what this entails.  Design for Living Systems Landscape architects are professionals who design for living systems, not just concrete or steel. They have the skill set to deal with earth, water, plants, animals, and living systems in physical space. The profession has transitioned from being mainly about aesthetics to problem-solving around nature in the past. The advice given by landscape architects is not necessarily heated or useful, but rather based on their experiences and lessons learned. He believes that architects should focus on the bright goal of a better future through design but also be more pragmatic about their surroundings. Thomas also discusses his artistic projects, such as the Castriani mine restoration. He believes that architecture is useful for solving problems through giving form to things, and that the way things look is important because it serves as communication and storytelling. People understand the world through narratives, so architects have the opportunity and responsibility to configure a part of the world that tells people something to add to their own narrative. Influential Harvard Professors and Courses During his time at Harvard, he took courses in Ed Wilson's Evolutionary Biology and Moral Reasoning 22. He also studied landscape ecology at the Harvard Design School, where landscape ecology was a driving force and he learned how you could design with nature and for nature rather than against it, which set him on his life path both professionally and intellectually. He enjoyed playing music and attending international talks at the Kennedy School. This experience helped him become more international and consider himself a citizen of the world.  Timestamps: 01:40: Personal and Professional Reflections  04:38: Coaching Group Experience  07:17: Changes in Life and Health Practices  12:26: Experiences in the Greek Navy  15:47: Role in the Athens Olympics 25:11: Projects and Philosophy  28:40: National Climate Change Adaptation Program  35:43: Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies  39:10: Role of a Landscape Architect  41:29: Advice to Younger Self  44:09: Artistic Projects and Influences from Harvard  Links: Website:  https://doxiadisplus.com/ Website: Got Your 6 Team Society for the Environment and Cultural Change Website: Ελληνική Εταιρεία Περιβάλλοντος & Πολιτισμού  Featured Non-profit This week's featured non-profit is Legal Services NYC recommended by Lisa Velasquez who reports: “Hi.

Mark: Right, because this is one of those where there are multiple names out there with varying degrees of pronunciability, depending on what your linguistic background is. And part of understanding what it is, is understanding how we talk about it. So what do you call it, Yakko? Yucca: So usually for me, it's second summer or when speaking with other people, I might use Lamas. That's because it's the one that's easiest for me to spell and I am spelling challenged. So that's usually what it will be. Sometimes the whole season right now is monsoon for us. So it's the monsoons. So yeah. But, you know, I recognize the other names as well. Unasa and things like that. Mark: Sure. I've always had kind of a hard time naming this holiday and because as I've mentioned before, I prefer not to use the Celtic names because that's not really Yucca: It's not your background. Mark: anything that I resonate to. And I, you know, the Catholic holiday llamas, I'm not all that interested in Catholicism either. Yucca: It always Mark: but you know what? Oh, llamas. Yucca: Yeah. Mark: Yes, the Peruvian holiday. So, So, there was a member of the Atheopagan Facebook group several years ago who suggested that she is using and I don't remember her name or I would credit her that she is using the terms brightening and dimming for the cross quarters at the beginning of February and the beginning of August. And I like that a lot because it's universal. I've always celebrated that February holiday as river rain, which makes a lot of sense where I live, but not. Pretty much everywhere else. So, so I've, I've adopted those terms and I find them useful. You know, the days are noticeably shorter now. The, you know, we've, we've stepped off from the peak at the summer solstice. Still plenty hot, still plenty of light, but there's definitely been a step down from that really blazing peak. And so Dimming, Dimming is a name that works well for me. Yucca: You know, I think one of the challenges with names may be that the, what's happening in each person's climate is, is really very different. And it's not as drastic of a difference in terms of it's not a change of season. We're in the middle of a large season. It's not like in the autumn or the spring, really, when. There's this switch going on, but what summer is for me and what summer is for you is very different, right, and what summer is going to be for somebody somewhere else, and whether it's still summer or, or we're approaching getting into autumn, because for me, it's not, right, this is not, you know, you talk about it dimming, and I do notice that the days are getting shorter, but this really is Thanks. This is the peak of summer for us. Mark: Huh. Yucca: It's not, there's no, this is the point where there is, it is the hottest time of the year. It is the most summery of summer. The, the summer solstice, it's like spring Barely ended and it is just jumped into summer for us. And so a lot of the types of things that people would associate with the summer solstice are more appropriate for us here, like sunflowers and things like that, that like the sunflowers are barely opening right now for us. Whereas I know for other people, they've been going for months. Right? Mark: Right. Yucca: And I think that that's Mark: Yeah. Yucca: You know, kind of across a lot of different places where it's just, there just isn't really a unified, what is this time of year? What is this holiday for many Mark: Right. Well, and it's not just this holiday. I mean, when it comes to summer, the hottest time of the year where I live is September. Yucca: Mm Mark: And the reason for that is that the sun has weakened enough that that fog system that I've talked about before no longer works. And so we're under the full sun rather than under a nice blanket of cooling fog. So we get days in the hundreds in September, and that is entirely uncooperative with any pagan calendar I've ever seen. It just, just doesn't work, right? You know, Oh, yes, the harvest and the, you know, the, the, the leaves and all that great stuff. Well, yes, we're having a harvest, but Not so much the leaves and stuff, cuz it's still blazing hot and it's going to be for a while. It's gonna stay really warm into November. Yucca: Mm Mark: So, so that's one reason why I find this word di dimming appealing because it doesn't refer to what's happening climatically, it just refers to what's happening with the sun, which is more of a universal thing for people in the northern hemisphere. Yucca: Right. Where it's, where if you're at the same latitude, same things happening, sun wise. Mark: Yeah. Yeah. Yucca: Yeah. That makes a lot of sense. So. What are some, let's talk about some of the themes, maybe some of the classical themes, and then how, how we approach those within our own climates. Mark: Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. . Sure. Well, to start with, In traditional paganism, and of course, we always have to issue the caveat that traditional neo paganism was put together 60 years ago or something. It's really not, you know, not something that goes way back, but it draws on folk traditions, which do go way back. And so this is traditionally the first harvest festival, the first of three, and this is associated with the grain harvest. So, the harvesting of barley and wheat and rye and it's associated with bread and with beer making and all of those things that we do with grain that around here, they actually get two harvests of of grain those that grow fodder for cattle. They're actually able to, you know, they get another growth of it that they can harvest before it starts to rain. But I like all those old associations. I like to bake a loaf of bread this time of year. It's the only time I ever do. Yucca: Mm Mark: and, you know, drink beer, which that's not the only time I ever do. And and just sort of enjoy, you know, reflecting on the season and thinking about what it must have been like for people in You know, the pre medieval medieval period, the classical period, you know, finally some real food is coming out of the ground. You know, the, the, the, the core food stuff that we eat, which is Yucca: stuff that lasts, right? That's the stuff that you store for the, you know, it's very different with the food that you're harvesting in the moment to eat. But that is what you're going to be able to store for a long period of time and know that, oh, we've got something. Right? When, when winter comes, I have something. Yeah. Mark: Yes. Yeah. So I enjoy all those associations. And then I have a bunch of other associations that I layer on top of that. But how about you? Are there other sort of the classical associations that you can think of that go with this as well? Yucca: The classical, I mean, there's, you know, there's some of the, like, the, the burning the straw man kind of stuff that happens. But a lot of what I, what I see kind of in the pegasphere the pagan sphere, would be would, a lot of that kind of bread. Association kind of stuff which definitely is not how I celebrate it. We, you know, we don't eat bread. We don't eat that kind of stuff. But it is the grass component is really important for us. That's a big, big theme. It's really honoring the ranges. I'm a range ecologist in particular. And we, we assign different associations throughout the year with different types of ecosystems. And so this is the other side from, even though it's not quite across but it's the other side from the winter solstice. For us where that's the forests and this is the grasslands. And this is when the grasslands are here. The grass is really at its at its fullest at its peak because it's monsoons. So for me, this this holiday is a lot about the monsoons. Mark: Uhhuh. for sure. Yeah. I mean that's a, in the southwestern deserts, that's probably the most influential climatic thing that happens all year round. It's the monsoon rains. Yucca: the monsoons and the snowpack, right? It's the moist, and those are, and that's when it's happening, right? We're hap it's happening, the snowpack is gonna be in that win in that winter kind of, really January, right? We're not really getting that much in December, it's not until January, so January and August. Although the monsoons will last for a few months, August really is the heart of it, Mark: Mm Yucca: we're lucky. Depends on the year. Mark: Right. Yucca: Yeah. Mark: The what was I going to say? Oh, but there are other meanings that I have kind of layered on to this time as well. This was the time when the ancient Greek Olympics would take place right around this time. And so, you know, naked men cavorting with javelins and pole vaulting and racing and all that kind of stuff. Yucca: Sounds great. Mark: so I tend to associate this time of year with skill and and I kind of, as our listeners, our regular listeners know, the other thing that I do is I tend to map the Sabbaths of the wheel of the year onto the arc of a human life. And that means that this point in the wheel of the year is for the middle aged. And I see the middle aged as people that are at the height of their intellectual and skill powers. They, you know, they are your senior engineers. They are your you know, your experienced inventors that have been through enough trial and error to know what's likely to work and what isn't. And so I associate technology. With this time of year as well, because one thing that note that I noticed was a glaring absence in the traditional pagan wheel of the year is any place for technology, because it's all kind of rooting this ye olde England the kind Yucca: of nostalgic for the past and yeah Mark: Right. Yeah. But believe me, at this time of year, if you didn't have a mill, you were you were not having a great time as a having a grain harvest. Yucca: Right. Mark: That technology is very valuable. Yucca: Well and and for today a Mark: to assume. Yucca: pretty pretty big fan of fans right now Mark: Yes. Yucca: Yep. Mark: Yeah, you bet. So, you know, technology, invention, skill, middle age all of those sort of I don't know. Summary and later in life kinds of things. Yucca: Mm hmm Mark: Not really elderly, but just, Yucca: mature. Mark: when I think of elderhood, I yeah, mature. When I think of elderhood, I think of people who have either retired or are near retirement or at least near the age when people used to be able to retire back when that was a thing we could do. Yucca: I have heard Mark: that, that I, yes, yes, I have heard the lore of the people that say that. The thing one can do but I associate that phase in life with the harvest festival at the Autumnal Equinox, which I associate with the elderly. And then of course, Hallows is death and decomposition. Yucca: Yeah. Mm Mark: So, so, you know, kind of a list of different sorts of themes to associate with, but I like having A different station in life for each of the Sabbaths because it gives an opportunity to celebrate people in my community that are of a particular age group Yucca: hmm Mark: and, you know, just to appreciate them for being in our community and what they bring and what they've been through, or what they're going to bring forth and, you know, the potential that they offer. And I just, I think that's a good thing for community building. So it's a, it's a thing I like to do. Yucca: And I really like your inclusion of the, the technology in there. I think that that's an important important thing to recognize, right? That it's, and it's kind of having a place to honor it because it isn't it's A bad thing, right? It's not like there's this competition between, like, natural and technology. Like, it's, no, no, this is all mixed in here together and, and, you know, like any tool, it's really just depends on what we're doing with those tools and what are, what's our intention behind the tools. But the tool itself, it's not necessarily, you know, a bad thing. Mark: right. Now, it doesn't reflect well that pretty much every technological innovation throughout history has been initially applied towards warfare. That, that's kind of a grim factoid. Yucca: Yeah, now I've heard that many times. I'm not I have to admit that I feel a little skeptical about that. I, but I don't have enough background to be able to point to something and say, ah, here's an example. But, I mean, it's something that I definitely hear is repeated, and there's certainly plenty of examples of it, but I don't know how, how fair of a representation that really is or isn't. Mm hmm. Mark: well, when you have a military dominated society and most societies throughout recorded history have been military dominated, then it's inevitable that what technologies arise are going to be applied to military applications. Yucca: Right. Mark: Like refrigeration, for example, refrigeration was initially used to transport food around for soldiers and then it got propagated out into various private applications. Yucca: Well, I can think of rockets, right? Or fire Mark: circuit, right, right. The integrated circuit was initially used in ICBMs and things like then fighter jets and things like that. But now we're talking over computers that use the integrated circuit. So there are many applications for technologies. And a part of a part of my, my rap about technology and. Capitalism and human society is that part of the problem that we've had is that the idea of science as this dispassionate value free proposition has allowed us to do research into areas that are very destructive. I mean, you know, doing research about how you can get more of an explosive yield out of a fusion reaction is pretty destructive. And if we had a society that was more informed by compassionate and humanitarian values. we would be less likely to invest money in that kind of research, I think. Yucca: hmm. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Mark: But there's a tangent.  Yucca: Well, we have to have at least Mark: anyway, yes, we do. That's true. Anyway, technology, it does lots of good stuff for us. Keeps me alive. I wouldn't, I'm, I'm sure I wouldn't be here if not for the technology that goes into my pharmaceuticals. So I'm happy about technology. Yucca: Mm hmm. Mark: So, those are themes. How about rituals? What are, what are things you like to do to celebrate the grasslands and and those and the rains, the monsoons? Yeah. Yucca: Well, when the rains come, we go out in them. Because going out in the rain is a very different thing depending on where the rain is. Right, it may not be something that you would want to do if you live in Connecticut and rain is a very different thing there than it is here. But when the storms come it's just we get so little moisture that it's just amazing that we go out barefoot and we watch the, we watch the water just moving across the land. Of course, there's very practical reasons as well, because I want to see where the water is moving to and, you know, how can I slow that down and redirect it and make sure it's not getting into the foundations of my house and all of that stuff. But but it also, we The kids have some clear umbrellas, right? We go out and look at the rain through the clear umbrellas and get wet and muddy like those cartoons where the kid is just completely covered except for their little blinking eyeballs, right? Like, we, we make sure to do that. And Just spending time outside a lot. The other thing that comes up is that this is the, the proceeds are coming up so it's right after, so the per, they usually peak around like the 12th or so. But they're already getting going for like about a week or, and so before and after. So we spend a lot of time outside with that and just Just being out, but being out in the evening times because right now it is really hot in the middle of the day and the sun is very intense because we're so high up that, Mark: Mm hmm. Mm Yucca: you know, there's just, there's no cloud cover. And when the rains do come, the clouds come in the afternoons, early evening, and then they're gone, right? It's not like it's cloudy all day. You'll get the, you'll get that Few hours, and then it's clear again, clear again. All right. Mark: Then you get a great sunset Yucca: Yes, and this time of year, the Mark: the remnants of the clouds. Yucca: Yeah, the sunsets. I mean, we have beautiful sunsets throughout the year, but there's something about the summer and the autumn. And then just the whole sky is just pink and golden and and the light on the, the trees that we have here are mostly. Pinyon and juniper. So they have the needles that the every single needle will catch the light and it looks like little spears of fire and it's, it's just, it's just hanging out a lot. Just being with, with the land and and we got lots of animals this time of year. I was telling Mark some stories about our adventures with, with some very large mammals in and You know, that's what we're, that's what we're doing, so, Mark: That's great. I love that blood warm rain of the monsoons. When we get rain here, it's always cold. But that, that tropical rain is just so amazing. It's lovely to go out and get soaked in it. Yucca: And it's different, right, depending on which, which desert you're in because we say the desert southwest, but there's like five different deserts here, right, and what elevation you're at, where, you know, it's the, the, the rains that we have up here, I'm just I'm not quite on the Colorado Plateau but I'm right now, I'm at this crossroad between like several different major geologic regions, but it's so different than if you go down into the Chihuahuan. Right, the rain, even though they're getting the same weather patterns coming through, but the rain is just it smells different. It feels different. It's just so different each place. And then, of course, this is when the grasses come alive. Right, they're waiting, they're sleeping throughout the whole year and then they. Wake up and here we have, we're on a migratory path. The elk will come through as they're going between these two main mountain ranges that we have. And this is when, you know, we're moving around the, my whole neighborhood. Neighborhood I put that that's again relative for different people. This is a very large area that we have, but you know, we're moving our our herds of animals around and it's just it's just a very alive. That's that's I think if I had to give this name, this holiday name. I say, maybe I'd call it alive, Mark: hmm. Yucca: right? Or awake, alive, awake, something like that. Yeah. Mark: I like that. Nice. So, well, I guess I'll talk a little bit about ways that I celebrate. I mean, I've already talked about making bread and drinking beer and, Yucca: Mm hmm. Mark: you know, that kind of thing. I do like to get together with friends at this time of year and, you know, kind of center grain stuffs in the meal. So, our Northern California Atheopagan Affinity group is going to get together on the 6th of August and celebrate, and we'll be doing that with bread and empanadas, actually, which will also be really nice. So, it's still a summer holiday and to me that means gatherings. And you know, the opportunity to have a highly constrained, safe fire, Yucca: Mm Mark: because unsafe fires are unpopular in California now. They they, that's a, that's a good way for you to get sideways of your neighbors is to have too big and uncontained a fire. But we'll, you know, we'll, we'll build a little fire in a fire pit and that'll be nice to be around and we'll hang out into the evening and talk about life and enjoy bread and beer and empanadas and snacks and early vegetables and all that good kind of stuff. And it'll just be a good way to celebrate the season. Yucca: Mm. Mark: yeah, I really find that the the, the summer Sabbaths really lend themselves so much more to just kind of general social gatherings than they do to more. formal rituals. I, I tend to do more formal rituals in the fall, the winter, and the spring. But after the Maypole at at May Day or Beltane everything relaxes a great deal. Yucca: Yeah. Mm Mark: Uh, and it, it, it turns into barbecues at the beach and stuff like that as my way of celebrating the holiday because it's a great time to be out, right, to be out. In the world and experiencing it. Yucca: Yeah Because the other half of the year is much more indoor focused, right? And for me, it's often there's a, it's a much more turned inwards. experience where the, Mark: Mm hmm. Yucca: the warm half of the year is a much more turned out experience, just in terms of where the focus is. It's about, you know, what's going on outside with everything else, with the whole, you know, and then outside of the home and then in the home. Mark: Right. Right. Even even to the extent of other people, whereas in the wintertime, I tend to be more inward and less social. And that's one of the reasons why the winter solstice is important, Yucca: Mm hmm. Mark: it's this sort midwinter. Now we're going to have a big gathering and we're, you know, we're all going to like look at each other's eyes and realize that we're still alive and, you know, pack in the calories because, you know, who knows what we're going to have to eat come the end of January and that sort of celebration. I appreciate that over the years I have come to feel, to feel the seasons in my body. Yucca: Mm hmm. Mark: In a way and not just from the standpoint of how much light there is, but sort of a calling towards a particular kind of celebration at a particular time of year. Yucca: Yeah. Mark: So this has been a good conversation. This is our 4th. Podcast episode about this particular holiday. So it's Yucca: Yeah. Mark: the calendar. It's like that. It just goes around and around and around. So, forgive us if a lot of it was repetition, but, you know, it's the same holiday. We're not inventing a new one. So, Yucca: about traditions. Mark: of course, Yucca: them again and again. Mark: right, right. And. Of course, we're always interested to hear what kind of things you're doing. You can contact us at the wonder podcast queues at gmail. com or the wonder podcast QS at gmail. com. And we love to hear from you. We always really appreciate that. Anything else, Yucca? Yucca: I think that's it. So thanks, Mark. Thank you, everyone. Mark: Yeah. Thank you Yucca and we'll see you next week.      

Sports have been around for thousands of years, whether it's the Greek Olympics or the gladiator matches of the Roman empire.

Anthony Giacobbe Jr. spent a good deal of time writing for the APBA Journal during a pivotal period for the company — the 1990s — and reviewing version 1's and version 2's of PC games. He also worked on the '90s revamp of the basketball game. He even created a Greek Olympics game, pieces and all, for a fourth-grade history class, and later crafted an early computer basketball game — in the era before hard drives on home PCs were common. Here, we run the gamut, from weighing the differences in face-to-face versus solo gaming, cards and drive versus PC, and what constitutes the "perfect" game. Anthony also remembers two friends — and the legendary “Turkey Mike” — whose influence on his gaming life endures. Interview conducted July 30, 2022 Video version: https://youtu.be/CjUreBizHl4

Week 3: Love the Church… because it’s a community fighting for authenticity in a world of hypocrisy Let’s pray: God we come to you this morning and admit our weakness. We admit that in the battles of life we often fail to fight for truth and love like we ought to. We’ve laid our swords and shields down and we have suffered as a result. We thank you that you sent Jesus who fought on our behalf to deliver us from all our enemies. We pray now that you would truly give strength in this moment for us to hear your word and we might come out of this time encouraged and empowered to live for your glory. We pray for those that need to know Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord to see Him as glorious. Good morning church family, and welcome to you if you are live streaming our service today too! We are in the third week of a series called “Love the Church,” that’s kind of an extension to the previous 5-sermon series called “Love the Commandment.” In these series, we are still preaching “expositionally” in that we are seeking not to just take a topic and come up with something to say, but we are exposing parts of God’s word and bringing it to bear on our lives. We will get back to more “exegetical” or verse by verse teaching as we go through Genesis 37-50 and the story of Joseph, starting next week. But, the big point of our current overall series, like I said the last two weeks, is that the 59 one another commands to Christians in the New Testament could be summed up as “Love one another,” or “Love the church!” We started in the letter of Paul to Philemon seeing that the church is to be loved because it has the only true message and ministry of reconciliation. Then last week, we looked at John’s little letters in 2 & 3 John about how the church is to be loved because it is a community of family and friends walking together in the truth. This week we tackle a challenging and seemingly ominous letter called Jude, where we’ll see that the church should be loved because it’s a community fighting for authenticity in a world of hypocrisy. Also, remember our goals for this series are: Now one thing to say before we introduce the book of Jude, and that will tie into the message today, is that viewing the church as what it is called to be biblically always needs to be seen as aspirational. Otherwise we can get overly discouraged with ourselves or with the church - which would go against the whole point of this series! We need to be patient and realize that the three emphases we’ve put on the church each of these three weeks are like “squad goals.” What do I mean by that? Well, “squad goals” is a term I was taught by my always relevant teens, but didn’t fully understand until I googled it, that means: So you can see in this series of slides what that means. My generation was fixated on the idea of the sitcom Friends. That picture of a group of friends was our squad goals. And maybe the previous generation relates a bit more to the Golden girls, much in that same theme of what a group should aspire to be like in that season of life. I’m not saying that these are my current squad goals, just that for many people they were. It could be sport teams with certain aspirations, or even a youth group….though I think Trent may have something to say about this particular aspiration for the youth group. So, the picture of the community of the church we want, because it’s biblical, is essentially what I would call our church #SquadGoals: Be patient, if you are working on reconciliation in relationships in the church, be patient if you are struggling to find a family here or friends here, and be patient in how you view people’s faith here - because we are all a work in progress. So today we are going for that last goal, looking at what it means to be a community of authentic faith. We’ll begin by looking at the introduction to this letter of Jude is verses 1-2: The first thing we see is that we should: There are hints of what authentic faith looks like even in the introductory blessing and prayer that Jude offers to the believers he is writing to. Think about it: his name is Jude, he’s the brother of James - the brother of Jesus Himself. That means that Jude also is the brother of Jesus. And he calls himself the servant or the “slave” is the actual Greek term, of Jesus. There is no other form of faith, or trust, that I know of more authentic than this. If you have a brother in the room or watching online, you know this. Would you ever in a million years think to call your brother what Jude calls Jesus over and over again in this letter: LORD? Would you ever, ever, ever call yourself his slave? All I can say is that my brother would never do this, and I would never do this to my brother. So something real and genuine must have happened for Jude to call himself the slave of Jesus! Slavery is a horrible term, and rightfully so, but here Jude takes it, redeems it, and says that his brother Jesus has been so worthy and amazing in taking him from being a slave to sin, that he is now a slave to Him. That’s what I would call the only good thing about the idea of slavery that God can take it and use it to teach us something about how terrible of a master our sin is, and how gracious of a master the Lord Jesus is. And that’s what Jude continues with as he affirms that he is a willing slave to Jesus because he is one of those that has been “called” or literally “summoned” by God through Jesus. That’s another hint at authentic faith, not something you are trying to put on and pretend about. Jude is saying that his readers had received a summons from God though the gospel, the Holy Spirit worked in their hearts and they obeyed the gospel and came to know the mercy, peace, and love of God the Father so that they would be kept as Jesus’s beloved forever and ever. Jude is praying God’s blessing over these believers. He will go on to tell us about the crazy, confusing situation in their church, and he prays that they will know that from the beginning their fight is authentic because it is a faith that God started, and God will keep with His mercy, peace, and love pouring out on them. Much like we saw in the letter of 2 John where John says: So for them and for us, it’s important that we hear Jude’s words this morning. Amidst the craziness and confusion of COVID, our country, and the cataclysmic year of 2020, I pray right now with Jude for you, may mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you! Later, Jude is going to call them to be merciful to doubters, to have peace despite division, and to keep themselves in God’s love. But they need to know, just like we do, that God’s good news is that an authentic faith is always the mercy of God given to us and the peace of God given to us, birthed out of the love of God for us in Christ despite the fact that we don’t deserve any of it. If we are struggling with that currently, maybe we think we don’t need mercy, have been looking for peace in other things, and doubting the love of God for us in our current climate. This is so important! You can’t love the church without being in the church because you have an authentic faith that has been started by God. One other thing. We don’t know much about the believers that Jude is writing to, but we know that God had set His affections on them. And we also know that they were, like I have been saying the past two weeks, a localized congregation as a church. This is easy to miss, but so crucial to an authentic faith. Jude is going to describe inauthenticity in the faith of some in their church and call them to discern. It’s so important to see that the authenticity of our faith is not left to us in isolation. Jude will call us to contend for the faith shortly and that starts with the community of believers you are in. As one great preacher said, your profession of faith is only as good as the piece of paper it’s written on. Or as Stephen the Levite put it on the album “The Church,” And that is for both members of churches and teachers in churches. Authentic faith is confirmed through community. Praise God that He provides all of us the safety of a community to check something so important to our souls as the authenticity of our faith that determines our eternal destiny. We should love this and not fear this. This makes Jude’s next point all the more poignant as he tells them that they are fighting for authenticity in the truth: Read with me in the next two verses of Jude: After his introduction, Jude now moves to his motivation in writing this letter. He had, in the same love that he referenced in the beginning, wanted to write a whole letter full of the love and truth about the salvation that is held in common between him and his reads, and all true Christians. But, there was a problem. There was controversy. And there was a bigger problem. The controversy wasn’t being seen or dealt with. It’s crazy to think that there could be teachers in a church doing what he describes here: denying Jesus as master, perverting the grace of God, and there’s more to come. But for now, what is the heart of what he is saying? He is calling the church to “contend for the faith.” To contend here literally means to wrestle, and the early readers of this would have had in mind the Greek Olympics, or maybe Jacob wrestling with God in the story of Genesis. Some kind of hand to hand combat that is tough, sweaty, and grueling. So he calls them to fight for authenticity by fighting for truth. Because there can be no authentic faith without a faith that is founded in the truth. The truth that he says was “once for all delivered to the saints.” So, he’s not talking about a feeling of faith or a sentiment of trust, but a body of truth. Jesus Himself said in John 17 that unity in the church would be based on truth, and that truth is God’s word. A couple things to say here. First of all, maybe you hear this and go “Oh no! We are getting the guns out.” We all have had the unfortunate occasion to interact with those who are “contending for the faith,” when really they are just contending to be right. So let me clear. Jude is not saying to be a jerk for Jesus. Let that be a word for anyone in particular right now, but I promise I’m not thinking of a anyone but myself! Here is one way that has helped me to figure out what to fight for over the years. Maybe it will help you. It’s called the church unity chart: I love this because it puts things in perspective for us. Is the issue that I am ready to fight for a “gospel issue?” That could be theologically or that could be in practice. The things we should be fighting over are the things consistent with what we sang already this morning, a song based on the Apostles Creed. That creed reads: The Apostles Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. So, we do have to wrestle with the truth and for the truth of the faith. Because to be authentic Christians we have to acknowledge that the truth matters. It is the deposit of the faith that we are to guard and the church is called a, “pillar and ground of truth,” in 1 Tim 3:15. The church is to hold up and put on display the truth of who God is and what He’s done. In 2018, a ministry did a survey that they called the “State of Theology”: The whole point was to check what people the US, and even people that call themselves Christians, believe and see how that goes with the truth. The results were somewhat shocking. Here’s a couple: • 53% said the Bible is not true • 60% of people agreed that truth is subjective • 69% disagreed that the smallest sin leads to God’s judgment • 78% agreed that Jesus was the first created being of God. So, we have a culture that doesn’t believe Jesus is God, that the Bible is true, that there even is truth, or that sin leads to judgment! If the stats alone don’t hit you, then watch this brief video to see people’s faces themselves as they share their confusion: (VIDEO) The reality is that we are surrounded by people everyday that are confused. And that makes it all the more important that Christians are fighting to make sure we have the authentic truth as given once and for all by God. And that we are sharing that truth with others. Here’s one more set of stats to drive this home: Notice the bottom two stats. More millennials think that it is wrong to contend for people to believe the gospel and come to share the “common faith” that is in Christ. Please know if you are younger than me, I am not sharing this to criticize you, though based on the last stat you might think so anyway! I am sharing this to encourage you from Jude that this is inconsistent with what you believe. Contending for the faith is not for boomers, gen x’ers, or for any age group. It’s not for extroverts, introverts, or specific personality types. It’s not even just for pastors, leaders, or people with certain gifts in the church. Jude writes to say that it is for the whole church to be theologians and to know, believe, and share the authentic truth of God. We have to fight for this. But, I think if we are honest, the majority of the things that have historically have got us hot under the collar are the things that should be under the category of charitable disagreement, or even worse, things that are preference issues. While people are confused and lost , many times we want to fight over less important things as the people of God. And Jude would tell us to fight for something that matters. Let this be a word for all of us right now. There are so many things that people are fighting about! Masks, no masks. School, no school. Individual rights, or giving up our rights to love others. This is even dividing the church broadly and being a trial. People find the response of their favorite teacher (once again an online teacher that they in most cases don’t know personally) and argue for their side of how the church should respond. And friends, there truly are arguments on all sides that are valid. Last week I watched three different in-depth interviews with three churches that are responding differently in this climate. After each of them, I said, “They have good points!” Much like Proverbs 18:17 says, “The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.” My question is for us as a local church: is the disruption of COVID and the way we navigate it really an apostles’ creed gospel issue? Is it worth dis-unifying with your church family? Is it worth losing friends over? Now I fully acknowledge that I’m sure we as leaders in the church have made mistakes as we have gone through this unprecedented time in church history. However, I know the leaders at FCBC have been trying to make wise, loving decisions, informed by God’s word, in counsel with one another, listening to members of our church family, and taking in as much of the wider context as we possibly can. So, let me ask something this morning, can we fight about the things that matter? But is Jude even calling us as believers to merely contend for the truth of the gospel? Is he is actually doing more than saying to fight for propositions or truth claims? I believe he is. Jude is telling them and us that we should love the church by fighting for authenticity in both truth and life: You see, Jude spends only a little time in this letter challenging the believers in the church to contend for truth, though he does. But what he wants to get to the heart of, in a loving but very confrontational way, is the need to contend for an authentic life along with an authentic truth. The majority of this letter is Jude describing the characteristics and condemnation of the false teachers and those that would be like them. That started in verse 4, but continues from verses 5-13. Let’s read the bigger portion of this letter now: Wow, those are some harsh words! It’s tough for us to hear these kinds of things in today’s world. It truly sounds like an annoying iPhone alarm that is going off over and over again and we can’t shut it off. And it seems so unloving and so insensitive, regardless of who it is talking about to say things so directly about a group of people or anyone! Jude is pulling no punches! He is using the false teachers that are in the midst of the church to help the believers see what an authentic life that corresponds with the truth really looks like, because they aren’t seeing it. So what does he say? He uses Old Testament stories that the readers would have been familiar with to help them to catch his point. Notice the characteristics that he draws out about these teachers who do not have authentic faith: • They live for their own passions and pervert grace • They have unbelieving hearts like Israel • They are rebellious like fallen angels • They are immoral like the cities of Sodom & Gomorrah • The reject authority and place their own dreams over God’s word • They are ignorant and arrogant, blaspheming power spiritual realities they dot understand. • They have murderous hatred in their hearts like Cain • They are motivated by greed and personal gain • They have no shame in their sin • They are selfish and produce nothing good for God’s people Last week, I said (prematurely I think) that I wasn’t worried about deception from the truth, and that I was more worried about people being deceived into a loose affiliation with their family and friends of the local church. But I take that back! Because Jude tells me to in his letter! Let me apply it to us. I know that many of us have been separated due to health concerns, and the pandemic. And that has led to many listening to various podcasts, live streams, and teachers. But I want to encourage you to also be wise. The Lord never intended for us to listen to “our favorite” preacher on podcasts as an example of authentic faith. If, there were teachers going unnoticed in the congregation that Jude writes to and they were known by those folks, how much less can you really know the people you podcast. Their theology, their motives, and whether their life is an authentic faith or not. This week I listened to several livestreams of the most popular pastors on their YouTube accounts. Man, it can be so subtle. Please, can I implore you to do two things? First, ask questions in our community. Honestly, I would love it if my inbox was filled up with questions about truth. If every time you watched a livestream or podcast and had questions you sent it to one of us as pastors. It gives us the privilege and opportunity to talk to you, hear what you’re hearing and talk about whether it is good, healthy truth in line with the gospel or not. Maybe some folks think we don’t want to be bothered, but that is one thing I personally love! So email away! Second, ask this one simple question if you are listening outside of the context of your church community with leaders you know and that know you. Does this teaching, at the core of it, glorify God’s grace and point to me giving him more glory? Or does it subtly, even with biblical language promote a gospel of self, a “gospel” that promotes my personal ability to boast in my success, health, wisdom, relationships, experience or any other gain I get from that teaching? I watched one this week that seemed so good, it was an ‘out with the old and in with the new’ kind of message, based on Romans 12. Let you mind be transformed from the inside out and not be conformed to this world from the outside in. It all sounded good. But as I continued to listen the problem was that the core of the message was do whatever it takes to get what you want or need for your personal mental health. It even said to not “catch” like a “virus” the negativity off other people to make this happen. There may be some truth to that, but the problem is that it ultimately appeals to self. If you are bad for me in my opinion, I cut you out of my life so I don’t conform to you. But what about God’s word that says for His glory we are to bear with one another when we are even having a tough effect on each other’s lives. You see, this is how people end up leaving friendships, marriages, and other relationships in a way that doesn’t glorify God or walk in obedience to His expressed will, and can think they are obeying Him! Jude says false teaching and false teachers have destructive results! But it’s not just the false teachers. This letter is a warning to the believers and to us to not follow their example. Jude would say to the believer listening to these teachers that sometimes we can’t spot the inauthenticity because we are steeped in inauthenticity ourselves. And we need to be careful in terms of doing this even as we talk about having an authentic faith. Even our search for authenticity can lead us to a biblically inauthentic faith. You see there are very popular counselors and teachers saying things like this: “Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are.” On one level I really like that, but it falls short of Biblical authenticity. If the purpose of my life is to just “be real,” what purpose does that really serve? According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the word "authentic" means "true to one's personality, spirit, or character." It also means "made to be or look just like an original." By these definitions, we can safely say that being authentic means being "true to the original.” We need to understand that being authentic doesn't mean acting in line with how you feel. It means making your feelings follow your true identity. But if like the false teachers in Jude, my “being authentic" leads to selfish behavior, sinful desires and passions, or doing what I want instead of what God wants, then I’m being authentic to the wrong “me.” Because scripture says there are actually two versions of myself as a believer. One passage that sums it up well is Ephesians 4:22-24, in which believers are called, “to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.” So there is a type of being authentic that can result in a never ending search for yourself or what you want, or what you can do to be better. And let’s be honest, that’s simply called American culture. But I’ve noticed that leads to people believing a gospel of self-expression and a gospel of self-authentication that has no morality, no righteousness, etc. Being authentic to yourself in Christ is walking in holiness and righteousness and dying to the old desires and living in the new desires. If we want to really “know ourselves,” we have to come to a place where we don’t like the old self and want to live in the new self. John Calvin said this hundreds of years ago when he said: “Our wisdom, in so far as it ought to be deemed true and solid wisdom, consists almost entirely of two parts: the knowledge of God and of ourselves. But as these are connected together by many ties, it is not easy to determine which of the two precedes and gives birth to the other...indeed, we cannot aspire to Him in earnest until we have begun to be displeased with ourselves.” Otherwise we fall into a form of spiritual pride that the false teachers that Jude writes about were expressing and that he is warning the church not to take on. A version of ourselves and our lives where we are able to live for ourselves and find our purpose in that. In his book The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness, Tim Keller writes, “Spiritual pride is the illusion that we are competent to run our own lives, achieve our own sense of self-worth, and find a purpose big enough to give us meaning in life without God.” This is so easy to do, it’s all around us, because we live in a world full of man trying to claim his own way, and his own goodness but always desperately falling short. That’s where Jude heads next as we see that we should love the church as we fight for authenticity in a world full of hypocrisy: Let’s see that in verses 14-19: Look at the main word in this passage and you will see where I am going. UNGODLY - the main point. Jude moves from false teachers to all. He shows us that not only the teachers and not only the church, but the whole world is full of hypocritical lives going against the truth and life that God calls for in scripture. A life lived without reference to God. Because that is the question in all of this of Jude to his hearers. Why are you following them? What about God - like my friend Ryan likes to say. In our worship, in our teaching, and in our living, what about God? What does He want? That’s not often a question that people seem to be asking or paying attention to. And that is being seen in this church here. This hits at the heart of one of the main criticisms that people have and why they say they don’t love the church: hypocrisy. This is why people are burning bibles in Portland. Because, whether right or wrong, they view Christianity as hypocrisy, and hypocrisy, whether real or perceived, always breeds rebellion. So I want to talk about that for a minute and show why I think that we can actually say that we should love the church rather than hate it for its struggles with hypocrisy. As Christians, I believe we can embrace our hypocrisy in the sense that we can admit it. We’ve already looked in this series how the church has failed historically with slavery, abuse, and so many other ways. We need to accept that we also fail to live out an authentic faith on an individual and local church level. We are not perfect. We can admit that to you if you are not yet a follower of Jesus. We have one source of the truth - the faith once delivered to the saints, but we don’t always live up to it: You see we have one truth that can result in hypocrisies. All we need to do is take the major thrusts in this letter, where Jude says to be have mercy, be at peace, and have love abounding in the believers lives. If we just take those three things we will all be able to admit that we have been hypocrites in some form this week. I’m sure you and I have failed to be merciful this week, I’m sure we have not lived in the peace given by God, and I’m sure that love has not always been abounding. So there we have it; we are hypocrites. But, here is the thing. I actually think we, and the world, can still love the church despite this. Why? Because our hypocrisy is clear. We have one truth and we can be called out on it. We have definable ways that we as believers ought to live lives of faith. So we should invite and welcome others to point that out, so that we can live more authentically. And many times the world does just that! And that’s okay, welcome it. But as that is pointed out, let me point out that the world doesn’t have anything better to offer. If you are searching and looking for authenticity, the world around us with all its ungodliness just makes it harder. Because when you take away the one source of truth and multiply it to many, chaos ensues: As people say that they need to speak “their truth” and live out their “true selves,” it devolves into a situation where there is no standard, but then we see people break the standards of their own truth and what they claim is authentic as well. A well-known TV hostess, who was seen as the most loving and kind and tolerant person - that was her authentic truth - was recently called out because of abuse to her staff. There is hypocrisy even when people take away the standard of the authentic truth of the gospel. And just multiply that in society right now and that is why we have the chaos we see. Like the book of Judges in the Old Testament, everyone does what “is right in their own eyes,” and the results are not pretty. So, if you criticize Christianity for our hypocrisy, we understand. We say hands down, you are right. We hold up the white flag and say, thank you for pointing that out, we can live more authentically. But, is that what you really see in the world? Look at how people hide, get defensive, apologize but don’t really apologize. Listen, leave all that chaos and come join the church as a band of hypocrites being brought further into authenticity. And I have good news for you. One day all hypocrisy will be judged. Christians who are admitting their failures and others who don’t admit theirs. Jude says here, it’s not about your judgment, or my judgment, but one day the Lord Jesus will judge all of our “faiths” to see which was real and genuine. Christians will be held accountable. And again, the world can’t offer that kind of true justice. There is no one in many worldviews that will hold anyone accountable for “their truths” or how they lived, and so there can never be true justice that so many today want. We should love the church because in a world full of hypocrisy there is actually hope for real justice through the truth it holds and justice that will come despite hypocrisy. Now, you might be a bit weary of this letter now. That’s a lot and that is intense. Let me apply it briefly and give us some hope and good news. Because Jude moves to an encouragement and a praise as were end talking about how we can fight for this authentic faith: He tells us one command with three parts. Keep yourselves in the love of God is the command, worked out through building yourselves up in your most holy faith, praying in the Spirit and waiting for the mercy of Jesus. I don’t have time to say a lot on this, but I just want to apply it by saying, we as a church have tried to cultivate a way for us to do this in the next season of church life. As we enter the study of the life of Joseph, who had a real fight for authentic faith in his life. We want to help us do this. So if you get the discipleship guide that we handed out early out I will walk you through that quickly. The admin staff, Jason and others have done a great job preparing this and you can see the contents of it at the beginning. To build yourselves up in the truth of the fight, we have a reading guide and resources on pages 5-6 that you can start right away in. This week we’ve suggested reading the whole back story in Genesis 12-37 as we prepare to go through this section of scripture: In addition there are guides for each week, each sermon where you can reflect, journal, talk about things in community both in families and Life Groups. There are also prayers written that you can pray in the Spirit as Jude tells us to. There is more we could say, and so many ways we could apply fighting to keep yourselves in the love of God, but we’ll leave it at that today. Next Jude tells us to fight to keep others in the love of God: Again, there are so many ways we could apply this. But I want to encourage you to do it in one way. I wonder if anyone can guess what I’ll say here: Yes I know there is COVID, but as we plan for the fall (and there will be a brochure about that next week), plan to get yourself in a group where you can have the relational context to show mercy, encourage each other in the peace of the Lord, and love each other with all the 59 one-anothers of the New Testament. I really wish every member or attender at FCBC was in a Life Group before COVID because I think it would have made it so much easier to navigate and just go into “house church” mode until we could gather on Sundays again. So let’s learn from that and do that starting this fall, while still gathering on Sundays. Finally, Jude tells us to remember that Jesus fought for our faith, to keep us in the love of God: This is a beautiful and powerful way to end this letter. Jude began with a prayer of blessing and ends with a praise to the God who can bless. He says, look at God who has all dominion, power, and authority. If you are sitting there thinking, I don’t know if I can do this fight anymore, Jude calls us to look at Jesus Christ. He has not only all the power, but the ability to keep you. He will present you, despite your lack of authentic faith at times in your journey, before the throne of God as faultless, spotless, and blameless. All because He fought for you through the cross! Remember that in our struggle and fight in this world today. And to close I want to point to an example of Jesus’ faithfulness to encourage us that this will be the case. Many of you know that during our Ecclesiastes series Jason shared an interview with one of our older members, Clair Jones, who was 99 at the time. Sadly on a human loss level, he passed away just the the other day. To honor him and also show that his being kept by the Lord, and what he tells us to do is an echo of Jude, I want to play a brief portion of that interview again today. Here are the words of someone kept by the Lord to the end: (VIDEO) May God give us all grace to be kept like Clair, to love Jesus in return for His great love to us in keeping us, and to have an authentic life in Jesus Christ to the end, or until He returns. Let’s pray.

In the first year of King Jeroboam IIs rule something unique happens in Greece. Independent of our Biblical History timeline, but influencing by it later, the Greek Olympics games were first held in 776BC. In this episode, we discuss the history of the Olympic games, the Godly character demonstrated at the games and the influence of the games on the life and ministry of the Apostle Paul and his letters which later constituted most of the New Testament. www.messagetokings.com

What would it have been like to spend five days attending the ancient Greek Olympics in 388 BC? That’s what Neil Faulkner‘s book sets out to explore. You can listen to the interview, which I recorded with Neil in the spring of 2012, shortly before the London games, by clicking on the media players above or below. And there’s more information about the book on Yale University Press’s website here. In the interview, Neil tells me: ‘Ancient Greece is a highly divided and competitive world, and it’s a world that puts huge emphasis on sport, partly because all of Greece’s city states depend for their armed forces on a citizen militia made up of their adult male citizens. So there’s a sense in which Greek sport is war without the shooting. It’s preparation for war in a highly divided and competitive world.’ And we also produced a short video of Neil talking about the book: Neil Faulkner on his Visitor’s Guide to the Ancient Olympics from George Miller on Vimeo.
