Podcast appearances and mentions of John Oakes

"You find fasting in every culture, across the millennia. We carry within us the ability to hold back. Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Judeaism vary in specifics about fasting but the idea is the same. You step back from something that you normally enjoy - it doesn't have to be a luxury - and then you hold off partaking of it. That holding back is, for me, at the heart of fasting. It is such a powerful realization that this power of absence is real, that we can shape our world by stepping back, by refraining from doing things. Then, in the 20th century and earlier too this manifested itself politically in the form of boycotts and hunger strikes. In many ways fasting is close to meditation. You pull yourself out of the daily stream of things, you step aside, you contemplate how you have been living, and then you go back into it"  - John Oakes, author, 'The Fast; The History, Science , Philosophy, and Promise of Doing Without talks to Manjula Narayan about the spiritual aspects of fasting, its use as an effective form of protest by the disenfranchised, the great role it played in the independence struggles of Ireland and India, political prisoners fasting in imperial Russia, its darker side seen in anorexia nervosa, and how fasting can perhaps contribute to well-being and longevity in intensely consumerist societies.   Learn more about your ad choices.

How to Support the Rob Skinner Podcast.  If you would like to help support my mission to multiply disciples, leaders and churches, click here:  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/robskinner   Transcript for "Raise your activity level, don't lower your goals"   I was looking forward to the final message of the evangelism conference.  Christians from all over the world were gathered for a conference meant to inspire and unify our family of churches.  The final speaker was someone I've always respected and is one of my favorite preachers.  I was waiting for a massive call to action.  A dream casting lesson that set our vision on winning this lost world.  In past seminars and conferences, the final lesson is usually one of the best and is typically preached by one of the most gifted leaders.  That slot summarizes the primary points from all the classes and channels them into a call for massive action on the part of the participants.  As the speaker began, I was waiting for that call.  Instead, I heard a lot of stories about family and parenting.  It was a long, meandering lesson and what I heard from it was that we are not going to win the world in one generation, therefore let's pass the torch on to our kids and let them do it.  I left deflated.  Instead of getting pumped up to return to my home church ready to change my city, I had seen a hero of my faith pull out the white flag of surrender and slowly wave it in front of the gathering of over ten thousand followers of Jesus.  Looking back, I understand what he meant.  We do need to pass on what we've learned, our convictions and passion for God and the lost people of this world.  I recognize that there will be millions of lost people long after I'm past.  I know that the work will continue on until Jesus returns.  However, the tone of the lesson was, “It's never gonna happen so let's not stress about it and let's just focus on the next generation.”  It felt very much like a call to lower expectations and to get satisfied with maintaining what we had rather than multiply what God had given us.  As people filed out on their way home, I sat there thinking to myself, “I'm not ready to surrender, settle or be satisfied yet.  I'm not dead yet.  Yes, I want to pass my faith on to my children, but as long as I have breath, I want to advance the Kingdom as far as I can.” Every generation has to decide how they will face the challenges God has placed before them.  During the Exodus, Moses called the Israelites to explore the land they would enter and see what they were facing, both good and bad.  In Numbers 13:17 it is written,  17 When Moses sent them to explore Canaan, he said, “Go up through the Negev and on into the hill country. 18 See what the land is like and whether the people who live there are strong or weak, few or many. 19 What kind of land do they live in? Is it good or bad? What kind of towns do they live in? Are they unwalled or fortified? 20 How is the soil? Is it fertile or poor? Are there trees in it or not? Do your best to bring back some of the fruit of the land.” (It was the season for the first ripe grapes.)  Twelve tribal leaders led the scouting expedition.  Their evaluation is found in Numbers 13:26, “26 They came back to Moses and Aaron and the whole Israelite community at Kadesh in the Desert of Paran. There they reported to them and to the whole assembly and showed them the fruit of the land. 27 They gave Moses this account: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit. 28 But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there. 29 The Amalekites live in the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites and Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live near the sea and along the Jordan.” 30 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.” 31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We can't attack those people; they are stronger than we are.”  Ten leaders saw the land and said, “We can't.”  Two leaders, Joshua and Caleb, said “We can.”  Those two men were some of the few who made it into the promised land.  The other ten were put to death by God for their lack of faith.  The Israelites were condemned to wander for forty years for their lack of trust in God.  All the leaders saw the same thing.  The same land, the same fruit, the same enemies and the same challenges.  The facts were identical, but the faith couldn't have been more different.  Every generation has the same command to obey, “Go and make disciples of all nations.” (Matthew 28:19).  We face open fields, difficult fields, persecution and blessings.  This lost world has both opportunities and challenges for us individually and as a Christian family.  However, we have to decide how we will respond.  Will we say with Caleb, “We can!” or with the forgotten and doomed ten leaders, “We can't.”  If you want to be a multiplying Christian, you have to consciously decide that you will be a “We can!” Christian.  It may be difficult, and there will be giants and fortresses to face down, but with God, we can.  One of the biggest traps many Christians fall into is lowering their expectations to when faced with spiritual challenges.  Instead of increasing activity, faith, intensity, focus, they begin to spout the language of those who say, “we can't.”  You can recognize it by: ·         Being satisfied with only a few people becoming Christians ·         Shifting focus from saving the lost to satisfying the saved ·         A critical spirit toward those bent on conquest ·         Jealousy and envy toward those who are making spiritual progress ·         Negative talk, gossip and slander toward those whose passion for the lost is still strong ·         A change of emphasis from building God's kingdom to padding our retirement ·         Faithless language like: o   “People aren't open” o   “Times have changed” o   “I've tried but…” o   “We don't have the right song service, enough money, the right people, etc.” I was reading a book by Grant Cardone called “The 10x Rule.”  He points out that so often when we don't hit our goals, we lower our expectations and our efforts.  We don't want to experience the emotional pain of failing.  Instead, he counsels people to increase your efforts ten times, or “10x.”  This principle is applicable to the world of finance, business, relationships, family or spirituality.  We all have a choice when faced with not achieving our ambitions, we can settle or we can set our minds on God and accept that our current level of faith, activity and love will need to grow to meet the challenge before us.  The difference between the man who returned with 10 minas versus the one who simply returned the mina given him by his master (Luke 19:11-27) is that the multiplying servant raised his expectations and efforts to meet the challenge and multiply what God had given him.  The wicked servant settled and became critical of the master and his expectations.  “21 I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.” (Luke 11:21)  He justified his inactivity by blaming his master for being hard and having too-high expectations. The apostle Paul faced difficulties in his ministry in Ephesus.  Take a look at Acts 19:8-10, “8 Paul entered the synagogue and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God. 9 But some of them became obstinate; they refused to believe and publicly maligned the Way. So Paul left them. He took the disciples with him and had discussions daily in the lecture hall of Tyrannus. 10 This went on for two years, so that all the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord.”  When he faced opposition and a lack of openness, he didn't lower expectations, he changed locations and raised his level of activity.  He held daily discussions in a public location.  The result was that he was able to multiply disciples, leaders and churches in western Asia Minor.  I was reading this passage recently and challenged myself to increase my level of effort this fall.  My goal is to hold 90 “discussions in 90 days.  Anytime I am using a Bible with a non-Christian present I'm counting it as a “discussion.”  Sermons, group discussions or personal Bible studies all count.  If I'm going to reach the metropolitan area I live in, it has to start with greater activity on my part.  Yesterday, I went sharing on campus and we shared with over 100 people. Then I led three Bible studies in the afternoon and evening.  The last person I had a discussion with said he wants to get baptized right away.  I was energized and fired up at the end of the day even though it was a packed day.  I'd rather raise my intensity than lower my standards. I appreciate people like Kevin Miller, church leader from Boston.  He has a passion to reach the lost in the Boston metro area.  He could sit there and say that the church is too old, it's been this size for too long or the membership is too old or set in their ways.  Instead, he has a can-do attitude that won't settle for survival. He wants to see the church grow, multiply and do better than it ever has.  I love what Shawn Wooten is doing in Eastern Europe.  He could call it a day and retire on all the inspiring experiences and stories he's accumulated over the years.  Instead, he's driving on toward expansion of the gospel. Dr. John Oakes lifts my spirits.  Like Caleb, he is an older man.  He's retired from teaching.  However, he's determined to advance the kingdom in central California.  He planted a church in Merced, California in his late sixties.  Instead of lowering expectations, he raised his levels of effort.  He goes out on campus twice weekly to reach out and has grown his church of three Christians to over 25 in a little over a year.  He is a “We can!” disciple. Take a look at yourself.  Are you listening to the excuses and rationalizations that Satan and even well-meaning Christians are placing in your head?  Satan's lie is that when faced with difficult challenges, just lower your expectations, back off and don't try so that you won't experience disappointment, failure or defeat.  For example, if you haven't saved a soul in a while, you might be tempted to think, “I'm too old, too unrelatable, too isolated or too something…”  Take captive that thought and instead raise your activity level.  Start sharing your faith actively.  Keep a prayer list of people you can pray for, serve, show hospitality to and invite to church.  Increase your efforts ten times.  If you raise your energy, efforts and faith, you will see things begin to change.  Jesus said in Matthew 9:29, “According to your faith will it be done to you.” Just like with the exploration of the land, for every two faithful followers there will probably be ten cynical and faithless people.  Don't allow other people's negativity or spiritual issues drag you down.  If you want to do great things for God, you will get heat and reasons why it can't be or shouldn't be done.  People will say your too “old school.”  This often happens because the person is simply trying to justify their lives and low expectations.  Ignore it and do God's will.  Become a multiplying disciple.      Application: ·         In what areas have you surrendered or lowered your expectations? o   Relationships o   Evangelism o   Finances o   Purity ·         What could you do starting today to raise your level of faith and activity to see God work in that area?

Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers.

In this podcast episode, we have the pleasure of featuring a guided-interview with Will Martin, founder of edit4social.com and John Oakes, a PhD holder and weight-loss coach who shares how his academic background has helped him not only in his personal weight loss journey but also in helping others achieve their goals. He talks about the cultural delusions and societal pressure that lead individuals to repeated cycles of failure and shame when trying to lose weight. His key advice to anyone who wants to start losing weight immediately is to change their mindset and stop trying to lose weight fast but instead focus on losing it for the last time. He emphasizes the importance of removing shame as a motivator and instead pursuing something that you truly want. Join us in this insightful conversation as we dive deep into the psychology behind weight loss and learn how to create lasting change in our lives.

In this episode of the Easy Way Out, John Oakes takes you on a one-of-a-kind journey into the ways perfectionism is hamstringing you more that you know, and how to escape its false reality for good.Perfectionism is controlling your life more than you even suspect. It poisons our perception of finances, career, relationships, and self, while heaping unbearable expectations on our performance.Perfectionism keeps us striving for a constantly shifting goal line that we never seem to reach. When we DO manage to reach it, we find that its promises of love, acceptance and security were empty. This is why so many highly successful and driven people often feel most hopeless and empty just after their biggest wins.This is why they so quickly have to dive into yet another thankless slog, to maintain a glimmer of hope that this time, the results will finally contain the love and worth and belonging we so desire.Perfectionism never actually makes us perfect. More often than not, it acts to keep us from ever succeeding. It does this primarily by forbidding failure which is merely what your survival brain calls "learning."If you aren't free to fail, you aren't free to learn. If you aren't free to learn, you aren''t free to grow. Perfectionism isn't the path to your fullest potential, it is the greatest limiter to your future and potential.Subscribe to the EASY WAY OUT podcast: https://easywayout.buzzsprout.com/shareWatch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0TOlMSsmaXDndmvu9F9-0g/John's life-changing weight loss course: https://johnoakes.xperiencify.io/bglw/sales/Lose Weight With John Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/454610849203453/Coaching Inquiries: john@oakesweightloss.com

The truth is, I've had one boyfriend, and his name was Dr. Warren Carmichael, and he was my economics professor, and he was 56 years old, and he was very smart, and he dressed like a casual beach man to come to class, with flip-flops and everything, and I gotta tell you, I found that very very hot. One day before class, he walked in, and he comes up to me and he goes “nice Patagonia shirt. Gotta get me one of those.” Let's just say I knew what he meant, okay? Full lightning bolt through my slit. When class was over, there were snail trails on my chair. Like no one should have sat in that chair after me. It was DAMP.

https://www.bossequity.com/about-us/mark-edwardsCEO of Boss Equity - 100 AcquisitionsIn April 1999 Mark set up Document Boss (now Boss Equity), with his then partner, David Shieldhouse. Together, they created the blueprint for a new type of specialist service provider aimed at senior executive business leaders in the software tech sector.Over the ensuing 19+ years, Mark has been personally involved in over 100 Software Tech acquisitions. His wide-ranging knowledge, contacts and experience in this sector have proved invaluable in finding ‘the right fit' for client companies and acquirers alike.Rapid Growth for Client CompaniesOver the past 5 years, Mark has developed and refined Boss Equity's “Equity Value Accelerator” (EVATM) service. This is a bespoke framework which assists software tech CEO's and business owners to grow the equity in their business.By examining 5 critical areas of a business, the EVA service uncovers its strengths. It also identifies those areas where improvement can mean a rapid increase in growth, adding to the overall equity value of the company and enhancing sale price at exit.Business transfer industryHaving worked early on in his career at W&T Avery (now GEC Avery), Mark then worked in the business transfer market alongside one of the UK's top transfer agents - John Oakes. This proved to be an excellent learning trajectory in the art of selling businesses.ECM Experience & First European MBOFrom the early 1990's Mark specialised in the Document Management sector. Head-hunted, he became the UK General Manager for DSA; a German document software vendor management and scanning company, operating across Europe. As well as managing the UK operation, Mark was also part of their pan-European management team, working alongside colleagues from France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Poland and Greece. It was during this time that Mark was involved in raising investment for several established and start-up eDM companies. He also facilitated the MBO of DSA to form the Pan European company, Novadys.Software Tech ExperienceAt the start of the 80's UK recession, Mark's next move was to enter the thriving computer industry, where he was involved in selling data-storage products - such as Exabyte tape drives and Quantum hard drives - throughout the UK. During this time, Mark introduced a sales incentive programme that was adopted in the UK, Canada and the US.Entrepreneurial BackgroundMark has successfully run several businesses, one of which was based upon a flotation belt he created, called the "Aqua Runner Belt". This was later developed by Mark and his then wife, Isabel, into a fitness class and training school for fitness professionals. The belts and classes were sold throughout Australia, Argentina, France, USA, Germany, South Africa and Brazil and were used to help athletes and individuals recovering from injury, by allowing them to exercise, suspended in deep water (Aqua-runner belt & Flotation Aerobics).A number of top athletes used Mark's flotation belt to maintain their fitness whilst recovering from injury: these included Liverpool football club, Glasgow Rangers and a number of Olympic athletes.Mark also formed Acumen, a document management file management company that bridged the gap between the paper document management world and electronic documents, using RFID's - tiny electronic transmitters that held information regarding location and content.Personal - Interests & HobbiesMark is an award-winning photographer and an Associate of The Royal Photographic Society; he is working on a portfolio of images towards becoming a Fellow. A selection of some of Mark's images can be found at flickr .He has studied with The Coaching Academy as an executive coach, which he finds very useful in his current role, mentoring clients and facilitating M&A assignments.Mark is a keen keep-fit enthusiast,

'Barnet Lee "Barney" Rosset, Jr. (1922 – 2012) was owner of the  Grove Press publishing house and publisher and editor-in-chief at the Evergreen Review. He led a successful legal battle to publish the uncensored version of D. H. Lawrence's novel Lady Chatterley's Lover, and later was the American publisher of Henry Miller's controversial novel Tropic of Cancer. The right to publish and distribute Miller's novel in the United States was affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States in 1964, in a landmark ruling for free speech and the First Amendment.' Under Rosset  Grove introduced American readers to European avant-garde literature and theatre, publishing, among others, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Jean Genet, and Eugène Ionesco. Most importantly, in 1954, Grove started publishing Samuel Beckett John Oakes is the co-founder and 50% owner of OR Books, and  publisher of the Evergreen Review, an online revival of the venerable counter-cultural literary magazine originally published by Grove Press under Barney Rosset whose memoir Rosset: My Life in Publishing and How I Fought Censorship OR Books published in 2017.  I talked with John about Rosset via Zoom.   

To say John Oakes has lived an oversized life is an understatement, at 6'10” and once weighing over 600 pounds. A perfect storm of medical issues, medications, and certainly his relationship with food brought him to the brink of death but he found the strength to fight back. John's story doesn't end with his getting gastric sleeve surgery but in many ways just began as he saw success and then failure, until he discovered new tools he needed, namely the ketogenic diet and a strong gym ethic. John and I talk a lot about mindset, especially during these quarantine days, and finding community as he has in the Keto Man's Club on Facebook! You will be inspired by his story and will indeed learn why a mutual friend has dubbed him the Mighty Oak! Connect with John on Twitter & IG at @themightyoak77!

Nothing for weeks and 2 in a week this time round, but it's all so that I can plug my show at The Southend Festival this Saturday (15/06/19 www.thesouthendfestival.co.uk *ahem*). This episode I have another of my good friends, Ross McGrane and we have a very fun chat, talking about the comedy industry, guessing what our teas were made of (both of which were supplied by Twinings again, so thanks so much for the tea, Twinings, you legends, they were lovely).

In episode 5 I have a very fun chat with comedian, improviser, actor, radio show host and much, much more, John Oakes. We talk about all of the important things, like hippos, Skeletor and coasteering, John gets stuck in a pun hole, which is always a delight to witness and never ceases to amaze me as I'm awful at thinking of puns, let alone to the extent that he can. This week we have some delicious teas, one of which is one of John's favourites and those are both supplied by Teapigs, so thanks to them. We have a delicious Jasmine Pearls tea and a 'Marrakesh Mint'. Both lovely, both very different. Like John and me.
