The fact and the truth of theresurrection of Jesus cannot be underestimated! John Stott said,"Christianity is in its very essence a resurrection religion. The conceptof resurrection lies at its very heart, and if you remove it, Christianity isdestroyed." Paul put it this way in 1 Corinthians 15:17: “If Christ benot risen, then our faith is vain.  It isempty. It has nothing to it. And we are yet in our sins”. Yes, the Bibleteaches, and the gospels affirm, and the witnesses affirm, and history affirmsthat Jesus Christ indeed rose from the grave early that Sunday morning 2,000years ago after His crucifixion on the cross.  Theresurrection of Jesus Christ affirms to us that He is indeed the Son of God,just as He claimed to be Romans 1:4: “And declared to be the Son of God withpower, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead”. It also proves that His sacrifice forsin has been accepted and that the work of salvation is completed (Romans4:24-25). Those who trust Him can "walk in newness of life" becauseHe is alive and imparts His power to them (Romans 6:4; Gal. 2:20). Our Lord'sresurrection also declares to us that He is the Judge who will come one day andjudge the world (Acts 17:30-31). Itis no surprise, then, that Satan has attacked the truth of the Resurrection.The first lie that he spawned was that the disciples came and stole Christ'sbody (Matthew 28:11-15), but it is difficult to imagine how they could havedone this. To begin with, the tomb was carefully guarded (Matthew 27:61-66);and it would have been next to impossible for the frightened Apostles tooverpower the soldiers, open the tomb, and secure the body. But the biggestobstacle is the fact that the Apostles themselves did not believe that He wouldbe resurrected! Why, then, would they steal His body and try to perpetrate ahoax? Asecond lie is that Jesus did not really die on the cross but only swooned, andwhen He was put into the cool tomb, He revived. But Pilate carefully checkedwith the centurion to see whether Jesus was dead (Mark 15:44), and the Romansoldiers who broke the legs of the two thieves knew that Jesus had died (John19:31-34). Furthermore, how could a "cool tomb" transform Christ'sbody so that He could appear and disappear and walk through closed doors? Themessage of the Gospel rests on the death of Jesus Christ and His resurrection(1 Corinthians 15:1-8). The Apostles were sent out as witnesses of Hisresurrection (Acts 1:22), and the emphasis in the Book of Acts is on theresurrection of Jesus Christ. Paul put it plainly in 1 Corinthians 15:17-19: “Andif Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then theyalso which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only wehave hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.”Thisexplains why Luke climaxed his book with a report of some of the appearances ofJesus after He had been raised from the dead. He first appeared to MaryMagdalene (John 20:11-18), then to the "other women" (Matt. 28:9-10),and then to the two men on the way to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-22). At some time, Healso appeared to Peter (Luke 24:34) and to His half-brother James (1 Corinthians15:7).Thatevening, He appeared to the Apostles (Luke 24:36-43), but Thomas was not withthem (John 20:19-25). A week later, He appeared to the Apostles again,especially for the sake of Thomas (John 20:26-31). He appeared to seven of theApostles when they were fishing at the Sea of Galilee (John 21). He appearedseveral times to the Apostles before His ascension, teaching them and preparingthem for their ministry (Acts 1:1-12). Whenthe believers discovered that Jesus was alive, it made a tremendous differencein their lives. And it has transformed millions of lives since then like mineand yours! “Heis Risen! He is Risen Indeed!”

El clérigo anglicano, John Stott, está en lo correcto al escribir lo siguiente: «La pesadilla en la vida y ministerio de Pablo fue la actividad insidiosa de los falsos maestros. Dondequiera que iba, seguían sus pasos. Apenas sembraba el evangelio en alguna localidad, los falsos maestros comenzaban a tergiversarlo. Además, con el fin de desacreditar el mensaje de Pablo, ellos desafiaban su autoridad». Definitivamente estos alborotadores no han dejado de existir en la tierra. Todavía hay muchos que son más prontos a rechazar en lugar de aceptar, a condenar en lugar de afirmar. Como lo veremos a continuación, Pablo encontró motivación y consuelo en la aprobación que recibió de varios hombres significativos que conoció al principio de su ministerio, como fueron Santiago, Pedro y Juan, y en particular, alguien que creyó en él cuando nadie más lo había hecho: Bernabé.

Touching Lives with Dr. James Merritt

I'm sure you know the running joke about fishermen exaggerating the size of their catch. But in 1959, Alfred Dean didn't need to exaggerate when he caught a 2,664-pound great white shark in Australia, the largest fish ever caught in history. The Bible tells us about an even more unbelievable story, but in reverse—the story of a fish that caught a man. Jonah's encounter with the great fish would make worldwide news today, but here's what might surprise you: The fish story isn't really the point. The book of Jonah is actually the missionary book of the Old Testament, revealing that God has a missionary heart and every Christian is called to be on mission. I like how John Stott said, “We profess to believe in God? He's a missionary God. We're committed to Christ? He's a missionary Christ.” The truth that applies to us today is simple: We all are called. Every Christian has a mission to perform, a message to proclaim, a ministry to promote, and a Master to praise.

I AM 1 We are now on day 15 of our series "Glimpses", looking at the story of the Bible in 30 days, from the time of creation through to the time of the fullness of redemption! The long awaited for king is here, his public ministry has begun in earnest. His teaching is met with amazement yet also fury and we looked at last time, how Jesus taught; what he taught; his methods and who he taught? Today we start looking at one particularly aspect of his teaching - himself! I AM Introduction It may come as a surprise to you but Jesus talks about himself - a lot! But, not only just talk about himself but always put those words into action. In other words, he backed up his claims with action, which even a cursory look at the Gospels will reflect. John Stott says this about it: ‘The self-centredness of the teaching of Jesus immediately sets himself apart from the other great religious teachers of the world. They were self-effacing. He was self-advancing. They pointed away from themselves, saying "This is the truth, so far as I perceive it, follow that." Jesus said, "I am the truth, follow me."' Jesus' teaching about Himself? In John's Gospel, the writer John records statements where Jesus said "I AM". These are unique to John and are not recorded in the three other Gospels. Here Jesus is reinforcing his claims to be God because, when he says "I AM", he is referring back to the time when God revealed Himself to Moses in Exodus 3v14 and through the prophet Isaiah in Isaiah 41v4. That's why crowds often picked up stones in order to kill him for blasphemy. This was in accordance, so they thought, with Deuteronomy 13, which dictates that anyone who tries to turn people away from the living God is to be stoned to death. They knew Jesus was claiming to the very God they thought they worshipped. Little did they know at the time that he was the living God! So lets go look at our first "I AM" I AM the bread of Life John 6:30-51 They answered, "Show us a miraculous sign if you want us to believe in you. What can you do? After all, our ancestors ate manna while they journeyed through the wilderness! The Scriptures say, ‘Moses gave them bread from heaven to eat.'" Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, Moses didn't give you bread from heaven. My Father did. And now he offers you the true bread from heaven. The true bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." "Sir," they said, "give us that bread every day." Jesus replied, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But you haven't believed in me even though you have seen me. However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them. For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do my own will. And this is the will of God, that I should not lose even one of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them up at the last day. For it is my Father's will that all who see his Son and believe in him should have eternal life. I will raise them up at the last day." Then the people began to murmur in disagreement because he had said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven." They said, "Isn't this Jesus, the son of Joseph? We know his father and mother. How can he say, ‘I came down from heaven'?" But Jesus replied, "Stop complaining about what I said. For no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me, and at the last day I will raise them up. As it is written in the Scriptures, ‘They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me. (Not that anyone has ever seen the Father; only I, who was sent from God, have seen him.) "I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life. Yes, I am the bread of life! Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died. Anyone who eats the bread from heaven, however, will never die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and this bread, which I will offer so the world may live, is my flesh." ___________________________________________ Three times in this passage, Jesus refers to himself as the living bread. By this he meant that he was the only one who could gratify the appetite and yearning of every person's spirit and their spiritual needs. For those he was speaking to, bread was a basic staple food for living, just as it is for millions of people today. Jesus indicates when saying he is the bread of life, that he will supply all needs! Just as he said to the woman at the well in John 4v4, and repeats here, that whoever drinks his living water, shall never again go spiritually thirsty. When Jesus referred to the bread in the desert he talked of it being merely temporary, despite being a gift from God. He however, as the true bread of life, would give permanent satisfaction and life everlasting to all those who believe and follow him! But this bread he offers has to be eaten; it has to be taken up by the person wanting spiritual life! In this passage from John 6 he offers glimpses of what is lying ahead for him. He also gives glimpses of the intimacy he held with God the Father. Soon after this, some people stopped following him and abandoned him because they found it too difficult to understand. How easily people give up and not persevere. Jesus is the bread of life! To have true spiritual life is to believe in Him! No works or good deeds can earn this spiritual life from God - just believe by having faith in Jesus alone. All spiritual needs are met through Jesus alone as the bread of life! Jesus will supply needs - spiritual as well as physical. This is only a glimpse at what Jesus taught about himself and we continue on this theme tomorrow! Thank you!

¿Qué es la verdad? (Juan 18) - Ruta 66 con José de Segovia

En esta era de relativismo la pregunta de Pilato en el Evangelio según Juan (capítulo 18) no puede ser más actual: "¿Qué es la verdad?. Cuando la mayoría decide lo que es verdadero o falso, según un criterio puramente subjetivo, la pregunta ya no es si algo es cierto, sino si funciona, me sirve o me hace sentir bien. Para muchos, ya no hay una verdad objetiva. Cuando Bono retoma las palabras del actual Premio Nobel de Literatura, Bob Dylan, "A lo largo de la torre del vigía" (All Along The Watchtower) en una actuación por sorpresa del grupo irlandés U2 en el Embarcadero de San Francisco en 1987, le añade la frase "Tres acordes y la verdad", que se convierte en todo un motivo para su vida y su obra. Su impresionante versión se puede ver con una deslumbrante fotografía en blanco y negro en la película "Rattle & Hum", cuyo libro oficial está escrito por su amigo evangélico, el poeta y periodista musical Steve Turner. John Lennon pedía "algo de verdad" (Gimme Some Truth" en su primer disco sin los Beatles en 1971, donde está su famoso "Imagina". Hace la canción cuando todavía no ha acabado la guerra del Vietnam con la producción de Phil Spector y la guitarra de George Harrison. La escuchamos en la versión del grupo británico Kula Shaker en 2022. La verdad nos parecerá triste, pero "lo que no tiene es remedio", dice Joan Manuel Serrat en una de sus más emocionantes canciones del disco de 1986, "Cada loco con su tema". Las palabras de Pilato en la Buena Noticia según Juan (capítulo 18) están en el contexto del proceso de Jesús, primero judío y luego romano, uno por blasfemia y otro por rebeldía. El juicio según la ley judía tiene tres fases: primero ante Anás, el sumo sacerdote reconocido por los judíos y luego Caifás, nombrado por los romanos (en el que se centran los otros tres evangelios) y la mañana siguiente ante el Sanedrín. La primera película que dirigió Robert Redford para una nueva productora independiente fue "La conspiración" (2010). Es la sorprendente historia del proceso a una mujer llamado Mary Surratt por su supuesta participación en el asesinato del presidente Lincoln. Protagonizada por un joven James McAvoy como abogado reticente de la misteriosa acusada que hace una irreconocible Robin Wright, nos lleva a la cuestión misma de la verdad ante un juicio que está ya determinado por los prejuicios de todos los que en él forman parte. José de Segovia la comenta con la banda sonora original de Mark Isham y Bryce Dessner para la serie "Manhunt", sobre la búsqueda de los responsables del magnicidio. "El propiciatorio" (The Mercy Seat) es una de esas canciones del australiano Nick Cave, directamente inspiradas en la Biblia. La graba con su grupo The Bad Seeds en 1988, pero ha tenido versiones tan conocidas como la que hizo Johnny Cash poco antes de morir. La oímos en una actuación para la radio KRCW de Santa Mónica en 2013 con la atormentada voz del condenado a muerte que "dice la verdad, pero no tiene miedo a morir". Escuchamos finalmente la propia voz de Pilato en la versión música musical de "El proceso" de Jesús (The Trial) que hizo el hijo del ministro anglicano Adrian Snell con la Roya Philarmonic Orchestra en 1980, pero esta vez en la versión que hizo ahora el músico inglés con holandeses y la orquesta de la iglesia del predicador John Stott en Londres, All Souls en 2024. El papel que hacía Richard Barnes en el Superstar de Londres en 1972, lo hace ahora el neerlandés Chiel Naber.

Luke 23 From Pastor Joshua's teaching notes, "John Stott once said, “The cross is the clearest revelation of God's love for sinners, and it is also the most explicit challenge to our indifference and cowardice.”  As the Roman authority charged with making the decision regarding Jesus's sentence, Pilate's reluctance to act reveals a deep truth—indifference to Jesus is still a decision. Pilate didn't openly reject Jesus, but his reluctance to take a stand meant he rejected Him nonetheless. Pilate wanted to be popular, not right. He was more concerned about reputation than he was about character.  Jesus doesn't give us the option of neutrality. We're either for Him or against Him. The same thing happens in our lives. We might not actively oppose Jesus, but if we don't choose to follow Him, we're still choosing to reject Him." https://vimeo.com/1075323571?share=copy#t=0

  A Tale of 4 Christians     Today I want to introduce you to four friends of mine. They all would say they are Christian disciples of a sort. I wonder if you will recognize any of them! Every church has people like these four characters. Which one of these are you like? Which do you think is the committed disciple? For more to read and think about, please read Matthew 25:31-46.   Fenster Fe-elgood First we have Fenster! He runs around to every meeting he can find that has some aspect to do with Christianity. He believes in God and likes to always feel good, regardless of anything else! When he goes to a Church worship or prayer service, usually twice on Sunday, it's for a good entertaining time! He has no time for doctrine and thinks sermons and teaching in Church are utterly mundane and pointless, and sees no point in acting out his faith, coz they don't make him feel good. As you can probably tell, Fenster's prime reason to live is to feel good. The way to holiness for him is by going to as many religious events as he can, and feeling good because of it. Fenster is holy in the eyes of the world! Amber Al-laction And there is Anya. Anya Al-laction by name and AllAction by nature!! She runs around like the proverbial headless chicken, doing good to everyone and everything! Anya believes God exists but thinks the commitment part of Christianity is all a bit too much. Involved in such diverse groups from Greenpeace to the local homeless shelters, she has no time for Church or doctrine. She wants to change the world! Anya's prime reason to live is to do good and be active. The path to holiness for her is being involved in doing good deeds. The society she lives in think she is a holy person because of it! Thornton Topheavy And you have to meet Thornton! Thornton Toph-eavy is also holy in his society but for different reasons! He has so much knowledge about God in his head; it's amazing his head doesn't explode! He can quote Augustine, Martin Luther, Jean Calvin, Jurgen Moltmann and John Stott verbatim, complete with page reference and book title! His passion is for doctrine and doctrine alone, and this helped him to a First at Oxford University. He isn't concerned with living out his faith; he is only concerned with reading more about God! Thornton's prime reason to live is the accumulation of knowledge! He believes the path to holiness is by gaining as much head knowledge as he can possible store! Calina Christlike Calina is foolish in the eyes of the world because she has a firm faith, prays daily and reads the Bible fervently. She is involved in the Church, attending prayer meetings and homeless tea-runs. She goes to her local Bible college for evening classes to learn more about the God she wants to serve. She is getting head knowledge but wants to apply it to her life so it goes from head to heart! Her prime reason to live is Christ and to be Jesus to other people. Believes that the path to holiness is to be as much like Jesus as she can, growing more and more like Him constantly. Knowing that she is doing this, makes her feel good, as she can see herself living out her faith in Jesus, who is her joy! Right mouse click or tap here to save as mp3 audio file.

Last time, we examined the opening lines of the sermon: Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.We said that those who are poor in spirit know their need of God. They are desperate enough to seek his face. In every part of their lives, they are dependent on God's love, His mercy, His strength and His guidance. The poor in spirit are not ashamed to recognise their weaknesses and look to God for help. And Jesus describes such a person as blessed because they will know and experience God's Kingdom.Next Jesus said this:Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted (Matthew 5:4).Like the first phrase describing those that are poor in spirit, the next phrase referring to the act of mourning is not one usually associated with a season of blessing. How can death be a good thing? What is Jesus saying?In Psalm 51, the author David is very aware of his own sinful actions. He has done wrong, and he is sorry.7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. 8 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice. 9 Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. 10 Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me (Psalms 51:7-12)David knows his sins are before God (v 9), and only God can wash them away (v 7). As he examines his heart, he faces the uncomfortable truth that he is not the person he wants to be. He realises only God can change his heart (v 10). He not only admits the things he has done wrong, but he also feels sorrow for those things. John Stott says, “It is one thing to be spiritually poor and acknowledge it, it is another to grieve and mourn over it. Or, in more theological language, confession is one thing, contrition is another”.[1]In Matthew 5: 4, Jesus said, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” In other words, God's favour is on those who are sorry for their sins, who mourn for them, who want to do better when they mess up. Christ died on the cross so that our sins may be forgiven and that we may receive His comfort – his help to change. The Apostle John wrote, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).Blessed are those who are truly sorry for their failings before God. The Lord delights in forgiving, comforting and helping us to do better. [1]From The Sermon on the Mount by John Stott p 41

Peter Harris co-founded A Rocha, a Christian nonprofit dedicated to conservation back in 1983. Together he and his wife Miranda built an organization that helped churches and Christians across the world work together to care for creation. Their vision was to build a global family of conservation organizations working together to live out God's calling to care for creation ​and equip others to do likewise.Today, A Rocha exists in more than 20 countries, from Portugal to the United States to India to Kenya. It continues to bring together those interested in conservation with people of faith, offering practical ways people can work to steward the good gift of creation God has given.Friends, I could have spoken with Peter for days upon days. He is a wealth of wisdom, humility, and kindness, and I learned so much from our hour together. I'm so excited to share today's episode with you - our discussion ranges from practical tips for conservation to the British evangelist John Stott's love for birds to coping with grief to and loss to the hollowness of consumerism to how gosh-darned wonderful the avian world is.“People are looking to understand,” said Peter. I'll also never forget our initial email exchange where I, a little star-struck by a guest who has done so much good in the world, told Peter I was looking forward to learning from him.“We will learn from each other, Courtney,” he said.Check out Peter's beautiful book from the 1990s, Under the Bright Wings, about the faith-filled founding of A Rocha, too.Enjoy this gift of a podcast, perfect for thinking more about the beauty of God's creation and how we might better care for it.

In the first message of our series called Kingdom Builders, Pastor Mel explains what we know about the character of God's kingdom. God's kingdom is not of this world and it is mysterious. Despite the mystery, there are certain things we can know about the kingdom because the kingdom is also principled. We know the order of God's kingdom is unshakable. Scripture also teaches us the kingdom demands obedience, affection, and multiplication. John Stott said, “We must be global Christians with a global vision because our God is a global God.” We should seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and depend on Him for everything we need.

Single and Ready to Mingle 3 Biblical Truths about Singleness and Dating: 1. Singleness isn't a sickness.  1 Corinthians 7:7  //  I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that. 1 Corinthians 7:32  //  I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's affairs—how he can please the Lord. 33 But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife— 34 and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord's affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband. 35 I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord. Singleness provides an opportunity for undivided devotion to the Lord. Famous Christians who were single: Amy Carmichael [1867 – 1951] Corrie ten Boom [1892 – 1983] C.S. Lewis [1898 – 1963] Dietrich Bonhoeffer [1906 – 1945] John Stott [1921 – 2011] Lottie Moon [1840 – 1912] While single, pray and pursue total devotion to the Lord. 2. Before you find the one, become the one. Genesis 2:15,18  //  The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Before marriage Adam had: Communion with God Calling in his life Discipline of Character Marriage doesn't change you; it magnifies who you already are. 3. The way you date either prepares you for marriage or practices for divorce.
 1 Corinthians 7:9  //  But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion. Don't date someone based on their potential. Date them based on their patterns. While dating, pray and pursue the following: Future Spouse Boundaries Spiritual growth together Romans 12:12  //  “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer.”

In this episode of the Expositors Collective podcast, Mike Neglia interviews David Jackman about his preaching journey and insights from his book Proclaiming the Word. Jackman recounts his early preaching experiences and the influence of mentors like J.I. Packer and Alec Motyer. He emphasizes the balance of hard work and dependence on the Holy Spirit, stressing the importance of thorough sermon preparation. Drawing on the impact of influential figures like John Stott and Chuck Smith, Jackman discusses the growth and challenges of expository preaching and the need for biblically centered sermons. David Jackman shares practical insights on staying "on the line of the text," ensuring that Scripture remains central, and contrasts this approach with preaching styles that either add to or subtract from the Bible. The discussion also touches on Chuck Smith's and Stott's commitment to letting the Bible speak for itself. Jackman discusses the global spread of expository preaching and its ongoing relevance in addressing cultural challenges. Biography: David Jackman, born in 1942, studied at Downing College, Cambridge, and completed theological training under J.I. Packer and Alec Motyer at Trinity College, Bristol. He served as senior minister at Above Bar Church in Southampton before founding the Cornhill Training Course in 1991 under Dick Lucas, training evangelical preachers in exegesis and communication.

In this episode, Damein Schitter discusses following Jesus in politics with Robert Cunningham. Robert is the founder and director of Christ for Kentucky, and the former Senior Pastor of Tates Creek Presbyterian Church. He and Damein were at Covenant Theological Seminary at the same time, and Robert is now a current Ph.D. candidate at the University of Leicester, researching the role of religion in America's founding era. In their conversation, Robert and Damein draw on David Koyzis's book, Political Visions & Illusions, to make a bold statement: politics often masquerades as a modern idol, promising salvation and redemption much like religious doctrines. Their exploration then challenges us to reconsider where we place our faith and trust amidst a polarized society.Taking a deeper dive, Damein and Robert look into the concept of political ideologies as "isms" that offer false promises of redemption, akin to religious gospels. They highlight the dangers of viewing political opponents as heretics, fueled by echo chambers and partisan media. They underscore the importance of renouncing these ideological idols and reorienting ourselves towards the kingdom of God, advocating for a gospel that inherently carries social implications without equating salvation with social deeds. They invite us to grapple with engagement in a secularizing world, finding balance between withdrawal and deeper involvement.In conclusion, they shift their focus to the broader social responsibilities of Christian faith, challenging the tendency to compartmentalize it as merely a personal practice. Inspired by John Stott's interpretation of being "salt and light," they encourage believers to actively create a world that mirrors God's will. They also address the misconceptions about political divides, highlighting the significance of connecting with real-life neighbors rather than relying on algorithm-driven echo chambers. They land on an emphasis on the power of feeling seen and the importance of engaging deeply with your community to gain a nuanced understanding of today's political landscape.For more about Robert, you can visit his website, and find the episodes on his podcast going further into David Koyzis's work here: Every Square Inch
