Lesson 6 - Stories About Asking … Understanding God's HeartThe disciples knew that Jesus didn't pray like the Pharisees and they observed the result in His life and ministry. They sensed that He was truly connected to His Father in heaven and they wanted to experience that for themselves — so they asked that He teach them to pray. They had no idea how much they would soon need the lessons He gave them.To learn more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com

This episode is personal. For as long as I can remember, I've felt everything—other people's pain, frustration, and sadness. If someone around me was struggling, I carried that weight too. I thought it was just part of being a good person, a good leader. But at some point, I realized… too much empathy can actually hold you back. Recently, my daughter asked me a simple question that forced me to reflect: What are you proud of? Her follow-up question made me take an even deeper look at myself, my leadership, and how I handle emotions. In this episode, I open up about: How extreme empathy has affected my leadership, decision-making, and personal growthWhy we struggle to accept compliments and recognize our own worthHow I've been learning to set emotional boundaries while still leading with heartThe challenges of entrepreneurship, mental health, and personal struggles I rarely talk about I know I'm not alone in this. If you've ever felt emotionally drained, struggled with setting boundaries, or taken on too much from others, I hope this episode helps you see that you're not alone—and that it's okay to take care of yourself too.

February is American Heart Month, and in light of that, we're bringing back an episode about a group here at Stanford Engineering that's developing 3D printing methods for human tissues and organs, a process known as bioprinting. Motivated in part by the critical need for heart transplants, Mark Skylar-Scott and his team are specifically working to bioprint tissues of the human heart. It may sound like science fiction, but it's actually just another example of the groundbreaking research we do here. We hope you'll take another listen and be inspired by the possibilities.Have a question for Russ? Send it our way in writing or via voice memo, and it might be featured on an upcoming episode.

A student at the École Beaux-arts de Versailles (1983–1985), and then at the École Nationale Supérieure d'Art de Bourges (1985-1988), French artist Valerie Belin obtained the French higher national diploma in visual expression in 1988 and also holds a diploma in advanced studies (DEA) in the philosophy of art from the Université de Paris Panthéon-Sorbonne (1989). Initially influenced by various minimalist and conceptual tendencies, Valérie became interested in the photographic medium in its own right; this is at once the subject of her work and her way of reflecting and creating. Light, matter and the “body” of things and beings in general, as well as their transformations and representations, constitute the terrain of her experiments and the world of her artistic ideas. Her work is articulated in photographic series, each one produced within the framework of a specific project. Valérie's work has been exhibited around the world and is held in numerous public and private collections. Winner of the Prix Pictet in 2015 (Disorder), she was made an officer of France's Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2017. This same year, a touring exhibition was co-produced by the Three Shadows Photography Art Center in Beijing, the SCôP in Shanghai and the Chengdu Museum. In 2019, Valérie unveiled a major new series at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and this year, 2024, she has been named as Master of Photography at Photo London where she will have a major career retrospective.Valerie lives and works in Paris. In episode 228, Valerie discusses, among other things:Her father being an artist at heartThe influence of a particular teacherThe dual influence of American minimal art and Italian baroque artHow she discovered photography and was inspired by a misogynistic teacherNot photographing people initiallyPresence and absenceWhy she chose bodybuilders as her first foray into shooting peopleThe theme of beautyHow women are ‘attacked' by stereotypesAI being paradoxical to what she wants to showThe importance of Photoshop to her practiceWhere the ideas come fromUse of comic booksMaking a livingRecent series' ‘Heroes' and ‘Lady Stardust'. Referenced:Carl AndreRobert MorrisTony Smith (sculptor)Richard Serra Website | Instagram“I think it's still true to say I'm very close to my medium and to the hybridation, because if you think of it what is photography today when with the same camera you can make videos, you can make whatever you want? I think we are in a time when you always have a kind of superimposition in your mind, you have several channels on all the time in your mind and maybe my pictures are showing that way of thinking or way of living.” Become a full tier 1 member here to access exclusive additional subscriber-only content and the full archive of previous episodes for £5 per month.For the tier 2 archive-only membership, to access the full library of past episodes for £3 per month, go here.

In this episode:00:45 Making a map of the human heartThe human heart consists of multiple, specialised structures that all work together to enable the organ to beat for a lifetime. But exactly which cells are present in each part of the heart has been difficult to ascertain. Now, a team has combined molecular techniques to create an atlas of the developing human heart at an individual cell level. Their atlas provides insights into how cell communities communicate and form different structures. They hope that this knowledge will ultimately help in the treatment of congenital heart conditions, often caused by irregular development of the heart.Research article: Farah et al.

Several of these species are toothed whales, such as killer whales, beluga whales and narwhals. But why menopause evolved multiple times in toothed whales has been a long-standing research question. To answer it, a team examined the life history of whales with and without menopause and how this affected the number of offspring and ‘grandoffpsring'. Their results suggest that menopause allows older females to help younger generations in their families and improve their chances of survival.Research Article: Ellis et al.News and Views: Whales make waves in the quest to discover why menopause evolved18:03 Briefing ChatHow the new generation of anti-obesity drugs could help people with HIV, and the study linking microplastics lodged in a key blood vessel with serious health issues.Nature News: Blockbuster obesity drug leads to better health in people with HIVNature News: Landmark study links microplastics to serious health problemsSubscribe to Nature Briefing, an unmissable daily round-up of science news, opinion and analysis free in your inbox every weekday.

What does it mean to choose from the heart and trust the creative process? How can we reconnect with our 'why' and infuse love into our creative projects?When embarking on a creative project, we may fall into the trap of focusing solely on the end result or outcome. We become fixated on the destination, losing sight of the joy and love that can be found in the process itself. This episode reminds us to cultivate a love of creation, allowing us to find fulfillment in every step of the journey, from the moment we choose what to create.Join me in this first episode of Season 2 as we explore the power of listening to our heart and trusting our instincts when it comes to choosing a creative project. We'll uncover the significance of having a meaningful 'why' and how connecting to a deeper purpose can fuel our passion and bring more love into our creations.Topics CoveredThe importance of choosing from the heartHow to choose a project to createExploring different creative projects to choose fromThe practice of listening to the heart and trusting itThe fear and doubts that may arise when choosing from the heartThe significance of reconnecting to the 'why' behind the projectDifferent motivations and 'whys' for creatingThe impact of having a meaningful 'why' in the creative processTranscriptYou can find the transcript on the episode's web page by clicking here.Connect with LeoZen HabitsYoutube channelX (Twitter) InstagramZen Habits Facebook GroupTiktok channelEmail: podcast@zenhabits.netResourcesThe Fearless Living AcademyCreditsMusic: Salem Beladonna & Robrecht DumareyEditor: Justin CruzPost-production: Diana C.

Join Kim Grant as she speaks with contemplative photographer Paul Sanders. Paul began his photography career as a news photographer. He shares how, despite achieving everything he'd dreamt of in his career, he was left feeling unfulfilled and battling mental and physical health issues. Since then he has been on a journey of self discovery, resulting in him adopting a more mindful and contemplative approach to his photography. Paul's words are very thought provoking and may change how you see and engage with your photography moving forwards. Topics CoveredJourney into photographyWorking in news photography Feeling empty after getting his dream jobLosing sight of who he wasTrying to be a landscape photographer Battling his mental health Photographing what brings him beauty Finding his soul through photographyThe exhaustion of not being yourselfDeveloping genuine relationshipsThe strength of being vulnerableThe language around photographyPhotography and gratitude Being still and listening to your heartThe transience of our subjects Collaborating with our subjects Learning to give more Getting to know ourselves Talking and listening to our subjects Practicing seeing Letting go of attachment to material thingsThe feeling you get when seeing your image in printConnect with PaulWebsite: https://www.discoverstill.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/discover_still/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/discoverstill/---Website: https://www.photographicconnections.com/Join the Photographic Connections community:https://photographic-connections.mn.co/Immersive Photography Weekend Dates:https://www.photographicconnections.com/photographyweekendsFollow the journeyInstagram: http:/www.instagram.com/photographicconnectionsFollow Kim's photography journey and offeringsWebsite: http://www.kimgrantphotography.co.ukYouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@kimgrantphotographyInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/kimgrantphotographyMusic by Mark RobinsonSong: A Thousand LifetimesWebsite: http:/www.markrobinsonmusic.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MarkRobinsonMusic

On today's show, Chong and Dan look back on an eventful year. Along major dimensions - in technology, in geopolitics, in our socio-emotional lives, it feels like things are accelerating and spinning out of control. This leads to a discussion about peace - what is it, and how can we achieve it? Why does it seem like peace is only ever temporary? Where does chaos and disorder come from, that disturb the peace? Dan concludes with reflections on where ultimate peace is found - yes, Jesus - but goes to great lengths to explain this in the least-trite way possible.  Music by: Julian Wan Connect with usInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/ingoodfaithfmTwitter/X - https://twitter.com/ingoodfaithfmEmail - ingoodfaithmail@gmail.com Show notes Big things have been happening (2:55)Social-technological - AI, medicine, Internet-mediated life...Geopolitical - Breakdown of Pax AmericanaEmotional-psychological - Awareness, acceptance and exploitation of disorders within the heartThe external things affect us individually, and vice versaThe Nine Breakthroughs of the YearHow Anxiety Became ContentWhat do we mean by peace?

In a world increasingly dependent on data, analytics, and empirical evidence, understanding spiritual truths often requires a shift in perspective. It's not about how smart you are or how well you can argue a point; it's about opening your heart. I'm Matthew Adams, a Christian podcaster, and I want to discuss the necessity of approaching the voice of God with an attitude of faith and humility.Scripture:[Jesus said,] “That is why I use these parables, for they look, but they don't really see. They hear, but they don't really listen or understand.” MATTHEW 13:13The teachings of Jesus, replete with wisdom and truth, beckon us to approach them not merely as intellectual puzzles, but as spiritual revelations. The words are there, clear and profound, but their essence can only be grasped when approached with a heart ready to believe.The Power Of God's Whisper is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Driving Point 1: Christianity - A Matter of the HeartThe essence of following Jesus isn't about mastering doctrine or theological debate; it's about surrendering one's heart. It's about cultivating an inner disposition that listens, not just with the ears, but with the spirit, ready to discern God's voice amidst life's noise.Driving Point 2: The Parables - A Divine FilterJesus often used parables as a spiritual sieve, separating those genuinely seeking the truth from those merely curious or critical. The parable of the sower underscores this dynamic, revealing how the condition of our inner being - our heart - determines our reception of divine truths.Driving Point 3: Embracing Faith and HumilityGod's voice, while always true, doesn't always cater to human logic. It demands a leap of faith, a willingness to trust in the unseen and the unexplained. Humility becomes our guide, leading us to admit our limitations and embrace divine wisdom that often transcends our understanding.Conclusion:Understanding God's voice is not about intellectual prowess but a posture of faith and humility. In seeking Him with a heart wide open, we find that His words resonate deeply within, giving clarity, direction, and purpose.Call to Action:So, to everyone listening or reading, I challenge you: next time you approach Scripture or seek to hear God's voice, let go of the need for everything to fit neatly into your logical framework. Surrender, have faith, and let God's voice fill and transform you.Prayer:Lord, grant me the humility to recognize that my understanding is limited. Help me embrace Your teachings with an open heart, ready to be molded by Your truths. Let my faith be the anchor that holds me firm in the midst of life's storms, always attuned to Your divine frequency.The journey to truly hearing God isn't a straight path lined with clear signposts. It's a winding trail requiring trust, faith, and humility. As you venture forth, remember that God's voice is always there, waiting for you to truly listen. This is Matthew Adams, encouraging you to tune in to the divine frequency and let it guide your steps.Thank you for reading The Power Of God's Whisper. This post is public so feel free to share it.

We are uncovering the profound teachings of Jesus that transcend time and touch the core of our existence. In today's episode, we're look into a passage that cuts to the heart of human nature and the root cause of our struggles. It's a conversation between Jesus and religious leaders that challenges us to examine our own hearts and the source of our actions. In this episode, we are dissecting Mark 7:1-23, a passage that confronts the essence of our actions and the state of our hearts. Jesus engages in a transformative conversation with religious leaders about the true root of human struggles, teaching us vital lessons about faith and spirituality.1. The Tradition of the Elders (Mark 7:1-5)The religious leaders confront Jesus about his disciples' failure to follow the tradition of ceremonial handwashing.This tradition was a man-made addition to the Mosaic law and had become a significant religious practice.Jesus challenges their emphasis on external rituals and points to a deeper issue: the heart.2. The Heart vs. External Actions (Mark 7:6-9)Jesus quotes Isaiah, revealing the hypocrisy of following human traditions while neglecting God's commands.The religious leaders elevated traditions above God's Word, replacing the divine with human rules.Jesus asserts that true defilement comes not from external things but from the heart's condition.3. The Heart: The True Source of Sin (Mark 7:14-23)Jesus gathers the crowd and his disciples, underlining the significance of this lesson.He emphasizes that it's not external factors but what comes out of a person's heart that defiles them.Jesus provides a list of sins, highlighting that they all originate from within, in the heart's thoughts and intentions.4. External vs. Internal InfluenceWhile environment and circumstances can influence us, they don't define our actions.The heart's posture matters more than external factors.Jesus' teaching dismantles the idea that background or upbringing is the root cause of our actions.5. The Transformation of the HeartThe real issue is the state of the human heart, not external circumstances.Transformation begins with a new heart, obtained through surrender to Jesus Christ.Gaining a new heart leads to a renewed thought process and changed behavior.6. The Litmus Test of TransformationThe evidence of transformation is seen in our reactions to challenges.External pressure reveals the true state of our hearts and minds.A transformed heart responds withSupport the showFurther Discipleship Training Courses Free at;linkedin.com/in/jeremy-mccandless-68353b16Podcast Archive also athttps://www.youtube.com/c/JeremyRMcCandlessThe LIFE Podcast - The Bible Project | FacebookMy Amazon Author Pageamazon.com/author/jeremymccandlessJeremy McCandless is creating podcasts and devotional resources | PatreonHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

In this episode, we will explore one of Jesus' most well-known parables, "The Parable of the Sower," found in Mark 4:1-20. This parable provides profound insights into human responses to spiritual truth and how it affects our lives.Understanding the ContextWhen Jesus began his public ministry, he initially gained overwhelming popularity. However, opposition against him soon arose, leading to the beginnings of a plot to kill him. This episode delves into the reasons behind such drastically different reactions to the message of Christ and how it remains relevant to Christians today.The Parable of the SowerJesus begins teaching a large crowd near the sea, standing in a boat to be seen and heard clearly. He starts with the "Parable of the Sower." In ancient Israel, fields had paths running through them where people could walk, and these paths had hard soil. A sower would spread seed along these paths, and some would fall on the hard ground, where it had no chance to grow and was devoured by birds.Different Responses to the WordJesus explains that the seed on the stony ground quickly sprouts but lacks depth and withers away in the scorching sun. The seed among thorns grows but gets choked by the weeds and fails to produce fruit. Finally, the seed on good ground yields a crop with varying degrees of abundance.Interpreting the ParableThe four types of soil represent different responses to the Word of God. The hard-hearted are unbelievers who reject the message outright. The faint-hearted accept the Word superficially but fall away when faced with tribulation or persecution. The entangled-hearted allow worries, materialism, and false teachings to smother the Word, leading to unfruitfulness. The good-hearted receive the Word, accept it, and bear fruit, varying in abundance.The Importance of the HeartThe response to the Word depends on the condition of the hearer's heart. Jesus emphasizes that His teachings are meant to challenge and change hearts. Some may not receive the Word because of the hardness of their hearts or their entanglement in worldly concerns. True spiritual maturity lies in hearing, accepting, and applying the Word to bear fruit.Personal ApplicationJesus's parable calls for personal reflection and action. As listeners, we are urged to take the Word of God seriously, meditate on it, and apply it in our lives. A hardened heart, a shallow faith, or an entangled life can hinder spiritual growth and fruitfulness.Conclusion"The Parable of the Sower" holds timeSupport the showFurther Discipleship Training Courses Free at;linkedin.com/in/jeremy-mccandless-68353b16Podcast Archive also athttps://www.youtube.com/c/JeremyRMcCandlessThe LIFE Podcast - The Bible Project | FacebookMy Amazon Author Pageamazon.com/author/jeremymccandlessJeremy McCandless is creating podcasts and devotional resources | PatreonHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

Over the next two weeks we're gonna be looking at Psalms 67 and 68, and my plan, God willing, is to preach two sermons about our missionary calling as the people of God. Today's sermon is a Part One; next week is a Part Two — and my prayer for these sermons is pretty simple: I'm asking that God by his Spirit would lead our church to greater faithfulness in his purpose to magnify his glory among all nations. God has given us — as the people of God, the church of Jesus Christ, this local assembly called Cities Church — God has given us a calling for the sake of his name among all peoples, and I believe that now is a good time — as a church rooted — now is a good time for us to step into that missionary calling with a renewed passion and energy. And I think Psalm 67 and Psalm 68 will help us. There are two basic things we're gonna try to do today in Psalm 67: the first is that we want to understand the meaning of Psalm 67, and then second we want uncover (from Psalm 67) a central message in the grand storyline of Scripture. Understand the meaning here; uncover a theme in the whole Bible. And I'm excited to show you this, but I need to give you a heads up. This is gonna be one of those sermons that feels more like a Bible study. I'm gonna ask you to turn to a couple different places with me and look at the words — there's a few things I want you to see — but then I promise that at the end there will be some application, and even a little plot twist … so hang in there with me.Let's pray:Father in heaven, thank for your word, and for how you, by your Spirit, work through your word. In this moment, by your grace, we humble ourselves before you and ask you to do in us and through us whatever you want, for your glory. In Jesus's name, amen. Understanding Psalm 67First, let's try to understand Psalm 67. This psalm can be divided up into two parts, verses 1 and 2 stand alone as the theological heart of the psalm, and then the last part, verses 3–7, is the hope that flows from that heart. So heart and hope. (We'll start with the hope and come back to the heart.)The HopeThe hope here is that all nations of the earth will worship God. Start with verse 3: “Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you!”Anytime we see a word like “peoples” (plural) in the Old Testament (and especially in the Psalms), it's talking about all the nations of the earth outside of Israel. These are Gentile, pagan nations, and sometimes the enemies of Israel. They are peoples outside of, not part of, ethnic Israel. We're taking about all non-Jewish people — the apostle Paul calls them “strangers to the covenants of promise” (Eph. 2:12).Sometimes the text calls them “peoples” or sometimes “nations” or “foreigners” or “all mankind” or “the ends of the earth” — or sometimes the Bible will mention the people group by name like Egyptians or Cushites or Hittites or Philistines. The Bible has a lot to say about “all nations” and once you get the idea, it becomes something that's hard not to see. In fact, in the immediate psalms leading up to Psalm 67, there's been an “all nations” theme that's been building. Just note the language:Go back to Psalm 64:9 and look at that little phrase, “Then all mankind fears.” God's justice for his people gets the attention of all mankind, and in response to God's work, all mankind fears him. Psalm 65:2 — “O you who hears prayer, to you shall all flesh come.” — So the God who hears is not just a hearer of Israel, but of all flesh. All flesh shall come to God.65:5 — “O God of our salvation [“our” as in David's and Israel's — God is our salvation, but more than that: he's the] the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas”65:8 — God's power is displayed “so that those who dwell at the ends of the earth are in awe at your signs”Then in 66:1 there's a command to all nations, “Shout for joy to God, all the earth” 66:4 — “All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name.” Then verse 8 — “Bless our God, O peoples”See, before we get to Psalm 67 we've seen talk about the nations, in the immediate context and really since the very beginning of the Psalms. Remember back in Psalm 2, which is all about the Messiah, one way that God the Father honors the Son, the Messiah, is he says to him, “Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession” (Psalm 2:8). The same idea is repeated in Psalm 22, verse 27. As a result of the Messiah's suffering and exaltation, David writes,All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before you. 28 For kingship belongs to the Lord, and he rules over the nations. So Psalm 67 verse 3 is just joining an already established theme. [And I want you to see this.] There are six jussive verbs in a row here — these are 3rd person commands that express a wish or hope of the speaker. They each start with that little word “let.” Look at verse 3:Let the people's praise you, O God;Let all the peoples praise you [this is repeated again in verse 5]Verse 4: Let the nations be glad and sing for joyVerse 7: Let all the ends of the earth fear him!Does everybody see this? That's the hope. I want to make sure it's clear. The hope of Psalm 67 (and leading up to Psalm 67) is that God will be worshiped by all nations on the earth. All nations will worship God. That's the hope, and it flows from the heart. The HeartThe heart is verses 1–2, and at one level, these are simple words. We could just fly past these in our Bible reading, but, if we slow down for a minute and look closer, here's where we're gonna find that Psalm 67 verses 1 and 2 lead us to uncover a central message in the entire biblical storyline. And I know that's a big statement, but track with me here. Look at verse 1:May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us. [Selah — which means, Stop for a minute and think about if you've ever heard these words before.]And we have. Psalm 67:1 sounds like one of the most famous blessings in the Bible, going way back to Numbers 6. [Turn back there for a minute.]Numbers 6 …In Numbers 6, verse 22, God told Moses to command Aaron and his sons to speak God's blessing on Israel. God told him the exact words to be spoken. Aaron and his sons, serving as priests, were to say to the people of Israel, verse 24:24 The Lord bless you and keep you; 25 The Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; 26 The Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. And three of those same phrases in Numbers 6 are repeated in Psalm 67:1 — graciousbless, andmake his face shine. But notice a difference in Psalm 67: instead of these words being spoken in second person (you), they're in the third person (us). The psalmist is taking the position here as a representative of all Israel and he's invoking Aaron's blessing on the people. He says:May God be gracious to usMay God bless usMay God make his face to shine upon us —And that's amazing by itself, but look at verse 2. This blessing has a purpose. The psalmist is saying:Apply Aaron's blessing to us — God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, verse 2: “so that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations.” In other words, bless us for the sake of the nations! I'm asking you, God, to do good to us in order that all nations may see you and know you. Bless us so that we will be a blessing to all.That's the heart of Psalm 67. That's where the hope of all nations praising God comes from. And here's where Psalm 67 starts to uncover a central message in the whole storyline of the Bible. One way to say it is that God has always meant for his people to be a “so that” people. We exist not only for ourselves to know and enjoy God, but also so that others may know and enjoy God — which means we have a missionary calling. We have a purpose that extends beyond ourselves. That's what it means to be a “so that” people. And this has been God's will since the very beginning. He is worthy of the worship of all nations, and so he will have it — and he has determined that his people be a means to how he will have it. And what I wanna do now for most of the rest of our time is make this point clear. So we're gonna step out of the Book of Psalms, go back to Genesis, and I want to show you that God's plan from the start was to have a “so that” people. The people of God has always had a missionary calling to magnify his glory among all nations. Uncovering a Central MessageThis is the second part. There's some uncovering to do here. Turn back to Genesis 12. We will pick up the story with Abraham in Genesis 12 — which is a solution to the problem created in Genesis 1–11. In Genesis 1, God created Adam and Eve as his image-bearers to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. Adam and Eve were to expand the Garden of Eden — life in the presence of God was God's plan for the entire earth. That's how the glory of God would cover the earth as the waters cover the sea — BUT in Genesis 3, Adam and Eve rebelled against God and his word; because of their sin they brought the curse of sin on this world. And the rest of these chapters, Genesis 4–11, basically lays out the implications of that curse. By Genesis 10 — after God sent the judgment of the flood, after he hit a hard reset with Noah — we see the descendants of Noah have become seventy nations (and when I say “nations” think “peoples”). Genesis 10 lists out these seventy nations/peoples, and the list is meant to be representative of all the nations on the earth. Genesis 10 is meant to give us a universal perspective — this is all of humanity. And then in Genesis 11 what happens? Well rather than these nations do what God had told Adam and Eve to do, and later Noah to do — rather than be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth — these nations try to consolidate in rebellion against God. That's what Babel is about. And so God brings judgment again. He confuses their languages and scatters them over the face of the whole earth — which is a mess, because now instead of the whole earth being an expanded Garden of Eden with image-bearers who worship and enjoy God, the whole earth is filled with different peoples alienated from one another and set against God. There is horizontal and vertical brokenness among all nations. And we have to understand that this is a universal problem. This is a problem for all nations. And it's that universal, all nations problem that Genesis 12 is going to address.Genesis 12 …In Genesis 12, God looks out, as it were, at all these nations on the earth and he chooses one man, Abram. And God makes a stunning, radical promise to Abram in Genesis 12:1–3. Look at this, Genesis 12:1, Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you. 2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” You see what God said? Verse 2: “I will bless you and make your name great” — WHY? — “so that you will be a blessing.” In you, Abram, all the families of the earth shall be blessed! And Abram became Abraham (father of a multitude).Here's what's going on: Against the universal bad news of curse and alienation, God promises the universal good news of blessing and restoration.There was an “all nations problem,” and God has an “all nations solution.” Through Abram he would have a nation, a people of his own, to be a “so that” people. God would bless them so that they be a blessing to all. That was the plan from the start. And so now we can see it — Psalm 67 is echoing Genesis 12. This is a central theme in the whole storyline of Scripture.Through a Centripetal NationAnd later in the Book of Exodus, God's plan and promise for Abraham is repeated for Israel when they're established as a nation. Exodus 19:5–6, God tells Israel …if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine; 6 and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.This gives us more details as to how Israel will be a blessing to all nations. It's through their being a priestly kingdom and a holy nation. Theologian Michael Goheen says Israel's calling here was centripetal. Things are moving to the center. Israel was a people meant to draw all nations to them, to the center of God's presence with them. Goheen writes, Israel is to embody God's creational intention for all humanity for the sake of the world, living in such a way as to draw the nations into covenant with God. (Light to the Nations, 39).It was “Come and see!” That was Israel's missionary calling. Question: How'd Israel do with that calling?One thing the Old Testament history makes clear is that Israel failed in this calling. They were not the “so that” people they were meant to be, which is one reason this missionary-all nations-hope is picked up so boldly in the Psalms and the Prophets. The only way that Israel could fulfill their missionary calling is if God intervened and did something.Hope ContinuesIn the Book of Psalms, there's at least 175 references to the nations. In the Prophets, when men like Isaiah spoke on behalf of God about the future God would bring, God said things like this: Isaiah 45:22 — “Turn to me and be saved all the ends of the earth!”Isaiah 56:7 — “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples”Isiah 49:6 — God, speaking to Israel (or His Servant), says: “I will make you as a light for the nations that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”There's a hope in the Psalms and the Prophets that one day a true Israel including all nations will be gathered to God in worship. The Book of Isaiah ends with God saying, Isaiah 66 verse 19, I will send survivors to the nations … to the coastlands afar off, that have not heard my fame or seen my glory. And they shall declare my glory among the nations.Verse 23: “All flesh shall come to worship before me, declares the Lord.” It's been his plan from the beginning, to be accomplished through his people. Israel failed in that calling, so what does God do?God sends his Son. The TrueR and BetterJesus came to this world as the offspring of Abraham through whom all the nations of the earth would be blessed. Jesus himself became the true and better Israel. He embodied the missionary calling of Israel, and he, by calling all people to himself, he began to create a new Israel, reconstituted under a new covenant.That's why he called 12 disciples, like the 12 tribes of Israel, and at the beginning of the Book of Acts, when Jesus commissions his apostles, he says: You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth (Acts 1:8)Hear that? Jesus is the truer and better “all nations solution” to the all nations problem. And we actually see this happening in the Book of Acts through the church. The church of Jesus receives the missionary calling of Jesus himself, the calling God has always meant for his people. And we see unfolding in Acts as the gospel advances to the nations, to the Gentiles. In Acts 13, when the apostle Paul says he's gonna preach to the nations, he quotes Isaiah 49:6, “I have made you a light for the nations, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.” This is amazing because it means that what God first spoke to Israel, and then was fulfilled in Jesus, is now applied to the followers of Jesus. We are blessed to be a blessing. God's saving power to us is so that his saving power would be known through us.All nations will hear God's fame and see God's glory because Jesus by his Spirit is at work through his people — his people … the church … us — we have a missionary calling to spread his gospel to all nations … so that all the nations alienated from God and one another in Genesis 11 become in Revelation 7 a great multitude from all tribes and peoples and languages who, standing together before the throne and before the Lamb, cry out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God!”Psalm 67 is the future. It's where everything is headed: “Let the peoples praise you, O God, let all the peoples praise you!”Where Are We?And here is where there might need to be a little twist in our thinking. Before we jump in and say, Yes, we have a missionary calling to take the gospel to all nations, we need to realize that we, in this room, are all nations. When the Old Testament talks about the ends of the earth — and even in Acts 1:8 when Jesus says his apostles will be his witnesses to the ends of the earth — that's us. If we're thinking biblically, we are the ends of the earth! We are a long ways from Jerusalem, y'all.And I think this is important for us to understand. (I'll talk more about this next week too, because I think it's so important), but I'll just say for now, we should never think that our role in global missions is us doing a favor for the peoples way out there, instead, we owe our very existence to global missions. We have heard the gospel because global missionaries were sent. It's because Jesus did have witnesses to the ends of the earth.Which means this: our work in global missions is not us trying to start anything new — we're not trying to be on the front edge of anything — we just want to join in on the grace that is behind our existence. We've inherited a missionary calling. We've been welcomed into this. God has blessed us to be a blessing, to be a so that people. And I think this is the first thing we should embrace as the Spirit leads us to greater faithfulness in God's purpose to magnify his glory among all nations. We should be humbled by the plan of God, that we're here, and then we want to surrender to his calling.And that's how we come to this Table.The TableThe Table both looks backwards and forward. We remember here the death of Jesus for us in the past, and we look forward with hope to the day, because of his death, when all nations will worship him together.This is not our table, this is the Lord's Table — and as we share in it here, there are local, visible churches all around the world who share in it too. We each share in now as we're spread out everywhere, but one day this will be a feast for all nations together. And so in that hope, if you trust in Jesus this morning, if you worship Jesus, we invite you to eat and drink with us in praise.

Talk about being in two-worlds . . . I was honored to attend the Broken Science Initiative's meeting in conservative Aromas, California last weekend. Greg Glassman, the Founder and former CEO of CrossFit started the Initiative to help rescue the practice of scientific rigor from con artists and politicians. This particular meeting was held on the Castro family Ranch. Known in CrossFit communities simply as “The Ranch”, it where the first CrossFit Games were held in 2008. It was a joy for me to get to see the Ranch, talk with the Castro brothers, meet the many cops and former elite military there and watch Greg and Dr. William Briggs talk about fixing broken science. But, it was what I observed off the Ranch that informs this Episode. While Aromas is conservative and hard-working, I spent most of my time in Santa Cruz, a weekend get-away spot for many San Francisco liberals. Believe it or not. I encountered masked-people still terrified of the unmasked, saw people obviously startled by my beard and general looks, and found myself doing my best job of being polite while confronting a woman who called our troops “moronic, gun-toting rednecks.” It was at the airport, though, where the fracture in our society became so clear and on the plane back where God convicted me. At the Ranch, on the base “the Hill”, anyone who is a fan of the sport knows about the Hill. Greg Glassman begins his address. What does God's Word say? Proverbs 24:30-34 I passed by the field of a sluggard, by the vineyard of a man lacking sense, and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns; the ground was covered with nettles, and its stone wall was broken down. Then I saw and considered it; I looked and received instruction. A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.Ezekiel 16:49 Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy.Episode 882 Links:The Broken Science InitiativeThe CrossFit Games - Men's Ranch Mini ChipperExquisitely Boredby Pete Townshend The tissue box is emptyNo coffee for my creamDogs howl in the alleyCrazy women screamSome kids shout from their pick up truckThey're stoned on life and beerFifty radios playing in this streetBut I'm still hardly hereExquisitely bored in CaliforniaWe take our trouble to the CrestExquisitely bored in CaliforniaExquisitely bored, Just like all the restWhen the sun shines things'll get movingYou feel close to the starsThere are good times walking in LagunaBut it rains in my heartThe peasants here are starvingThey look out there barrels out in spacePray TV looks like pay TV to meIt's just a curse on the human raceI take a drive up to L.A.In my gas guzzling limousineThere's a whole lot of crazy people up thereLiving out a life in sweet ennuiExquisitely bored in CaliforniaWe take our trouble to the CrestExquisitely bored in CaliforniaExquisitely bored, Just like all the restWhen the sun shines things'll get movingYou feel close to the starsThere are good times walking in LagunaBut it rains in my heartExquisitely bored in CaliforniaWe take our trouble to the CrestExquisitely bored in CaliforniaExquisitely bored, Just like all the rest4Patriots https://4patriots.com Protect your family with Food kits, solar generators and more at 4Patriots.

From an early age, we begin carving out pathways for what will eventually become our deeply rooted relational patterns. Some of us withdraw, some of us go silent and some of us attack. Whatever the tendency, even when we're aware of it, transcendence is often a mammoth task.

Later, he received a heart transplant as a patient in the first clinical trials with hepatitis C-positive hearts. He was part of the teams that developed the laparoscopic procedure for live kidney donation, conceived the idea of domino-paired donations, created the Hopkins protocol for desensitization, and, more recently, completed the first successful investigational kidney and heart xenotransplantations. We discuss:The life & death & life & death & life of Robert Montgomery: the story of his heartThe state of the organ transplantation field: problems with quantity, quality, and consistency How does the US organ transplant waitlist work?Different organ sources: live donors, deceased donors, altruistic donors, domino transplants, hepatitis-C positive donorsThe opioid epidemic in the context of organ transplantation: a harrowing source of organsCutting-edge research: how xenotransplantations and bioartificial organs can solve the organ transplantation crisisAdvanced surgical methods: robotics and AI in organ transplantsHow to style your mustache with the world's foremost expert in organ transplantation
