Podcast appearances and mentions of Mark Buchanan

Catastrophes seem to be the new normal. There's a stunning new scientific belief that although catastrophes are unpredictable, there's a hidden pattern that explains them all. In other words, fires, avalanches, wars and even stock market crashes aren't a glitch in the system, they are the system itself. Listen as noted physicist Mark Buchanan reveals more.

Today, we are discussing the paradoxical secret to financial success: working less. We dive deep into the biblical principle of Sabbath and reveal how this ancient practice is revolutionizing modern business and personal finance.   

Need a little still water on a noisy, rushing day? This deep, life-giving conversation with Alisa and author and professor Mark Buchanan is just that. Mark has spent the last ten years learning how to slow down and to practice paying attention—and he's sharing what he's learned today. One nugget of wisdom you'll hear from him is that hearts don't grow when they're rushed. Mark is the author of God Walk: Moving at the Speed of Your Soul, a beautiful call for believers of Christ to stop rushing and start walking. He's sharing why walking is the forgotten discipline of the Christian church. Mark also talks about why cultivating a slow honors the body, and when we're in a hurry, we miss the presence of God.

The Abundant Sower - Mark Buchanan | The Gospel According to Mark | (Mark 4:1-20) April 21, 2024 Some have called The Gospel According to Mark a passion narrative with a long introduction, acknowledging that Mark gives a disproportionate amount of time to the final week of Jesus' life. This focus will allow us to emphasize the cross and the fact that Jesus came to seek and save the lost. All in all, Mark acts as a very comprehensive discipleship manual that exalts the servant King, Jesus and invites us to follow him. The Way Church is a church in Vancouver joining Jesus in the restoration of all things.

Mark Buchanan sits down with us again to explore everything from how storytelling forms us to our addiction to control.  He articulates how narratives help us navigate the truths of life and our identity, emphasizing the significance of weaving hope-filled, gospel-rooted stories into the fabric of our cultural imagination. Throughout our conversation, Mark draws from the life of David to think about leaning on character over gifting and the temptation of success. Mark offers a candid look into what spiritual practices have deepened his love for Jesus, and what he has been learning about the importance of deep friendships in this season of his life. This episode is an invitation to reevaluate our leadership in ministry, challenging us to lead in a manner that not only fosters integrity but cultivates a deeper love for Jesus. Bio | Mark is an author, Associate Professor of Theology at Ambrose University in Calgary, Alberta, and former pastor. His books include “God Walk: Moving at the Speed of Your Soul” and the ever-popular “The Rest of God.” In 2021 Mark and his wife Cheryl started New Story Community, a ministry that seeks to walk alongside Indigenous Women who need space for healing. The program focuses on academic and biblical study, skill development, and personal goal-setting. The heart is to join God in His work of writing a story of hope, redemption and healing in the lives of His people. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Give⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ today⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to CCLN and help seed a hopeful future for the Church in Canada.

What does it mean to walk with God? The spiritual life is so often described as a walk, journey, or pilgrimage that it can be easy to dismiss the practice of walking as a mere metaphor.But in God Walk, author, pastor, and professor Mark Buchanan explores the way that the act of walking has profound implications for followers of the Way.Buchanan reflects on the ways in which walking can be both a spiritual practice and a means by which we can deepen our connection to the earth beneath us, our fellow travelers, and the God we worship:“Hurry is the enemy of attentiveness. And so love as attentiveness is listening and caring and noticing, cherishing, savoring, being awestruck, these things that we feel in a relationship. I am deeply loved by this person because they notice me. I think that that's how God's built it. And we can't get that if we're moving too fast, if we're in a hurry.”We hope you're encouraged this Lenten season as you learn to walk at godspeed, seeing this embodied act as a profoundly spiritual practice.This podcast is an edited version of an online conversation recorded in 2023.

In Acts 17:6, the early believers were described as those who "turned the world upside down." As they followed Jesus and boldly proclaimed the gospel; people, cities, and cultures were transformed. In the chapter leading up to this, we hear of the impact that they had on the city of Philippi. This story provided the framework for this message and an invitation to radically following Jesus. We had the immense privilege of welcoming Mark Buchanan; author (The Rest of God, Your Church is too Safe, Hidden in Plain Sight (and so much more)) and professor at Ambrose Univeristy in Calgary in Alberta. He preached this powerful message around at Terwillegar Community Church at our Resurgence Edmonton Gathering in March, 2024. We hope that this message blesses you.

Guest speaker Mark Buchanan gives a sermon on Luke 19:1-10 about having a child-like acceptance of God's gift to us.

Listen along as we look at Matthew 11:25-30 and see the revelation of who Jesus is coupled with his invitation to rest. Notes//Quotes:   Matthew 11:25-30   “At the heart of the revelation is this simple fact: God's whole truth (“absolutely everything”) has been placed in and revealed through Jesus the Son. The key to divine revelation is Jesus. In Jesus, God gets a face. Jesus invites us to himself, and we feel quite naturally that we are invited to God.” - Dale Bruner   Hebrews 1:1-4     “Just in terms of allocation of time resources, religion is not very efficient. There's a lot more I could be doing on a Sunday morning.” - Bill Gates     A yoke is a work instrument. Thus when Jesus offers a yoke he offers what we might think tired workers need least. They need a mattress or a vacation, not a yoke. Still more precisely: A yoke is not a sitting instrument; it is a walking instrument. Jesus does not say, “Take my chair and learn from me”; he says, “Take my yoke and learn from me,” which means that as we seek to live in obedience to Jesus we learn from Jesus along the way. Jesus realizes that the most restful gift he can give the tired is a new way to carry life, a fresh way to bear responsibilities. Life is a succession of burdens; we cannot get away from them; thus instead of offering escape, Jesus offers equipment. - Dale Bruner   “An easy life isn't an option; an easy yoke is.” - John Mark Comer   Mike Gaston Slides:   “Thus says the Lord: ‘Stand by the roads, and look,     and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it,     and find rest for your souls.' But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.'” Jeremiah 6:16   For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath Matthew 12:8   Attached Image 1 (Eugene Peterson)   “Odd, isn't it? We have more leisure hours per person per year as a country than anyone could have guessed a hundred years ago. But we are not leisurely. We are not relaxed. We are anxious. We are in a hurry. The anxiety and the hurry ruin intimacy and sabotage our best intentions in faith, hope and love – the three actions in which most of us set out to do our best.   That is why I as your pastor want you to keep a Sabbath. I want you to live well. I want you to live whole and mature, with appreciation and pleasure, experiencing the heights and depths of glory in your bodies and your work, your friends and your gardens, your minds and your emotions, at the ocean and in the mountains. You can't do that if you are ‘on the run.' You can't do that if you are watching the clock.   Sabbath is the biblical tool for protecting time against desecration.” Eugene Peterson     Sabbath = regular, intentional, contemplative, Christ-centered rest   Image 2 - Sabbath Rest   “The rest of God – the rest God gladly gives so that we might discover that part of God we're missing – is not a reward for finishing. It's not a bonus for work well done. It's sheer gift. It is a stop-work order in the midst of work that's never complete, never polished. Sabbath is not the break we're allotted at the tail end of completing all of our tasks and chores, the fulfillment of all our obligations. It's the rest we take smack-dab in the middle of them, without apology, without guilt, and for no better reason that God told us we could.” Mark Buchanan

One of the things we love most is talking with families, just like us, who are practicing spiritual practices alongside us (and sometimes, a few steps ahead!) And that's exactly what we're doing today on the podcast! Amy is chatting all things Sabbath with a family that's been practicing it for years along with their kids. Kellie and Marshall took a Pizza Friday tradition, added a little bit of intentionality, and now have a meaningful Sabbath practice that is sure to encourage you and leave you with a few tips to apply in your own life.

Mark Buchanan is a professor of pastoral theology at Ambrose University. He has authored several book on spiritual formation and rhythms of the soul. He joins the podcast to talk about his book, God Walk-Moving at the Speed of Our Soul. We discuss the spiritual practice of physically walking and how formative it is for our faith when we slow down enough to keep pace with a 3mph God. We talk about how walking affects our memory and our attention spans and rehumanizes us in an increasingly digital world.  Mark Buchanan  Order the book God Walk Donate to support new episodes Connect with host Libby John Instagram @artandfaithpodcast Email artandfaithconversations@gmail.com 

If we do not know Jesus' love on a deeply personal level and encounter His love in our busy and full, real lives, then the spiritual disciplines devolve into legalism and empty works. Without recognizing how much we are loved and cared for, everything else we do in that relationship is a striving attempt to be loved.  Because experiencing God's love for us is a gift we want to receive AND struggle with experiencing, I've invited Dr. Curt Thompson to join the show.  In today's episode, you'll receive practical strategies and anchoring truths as we process moving God's love from head to heart. You'll learn: How to move Jesus's love for you from your head down to your heart How to experience grace in your real life, How solitude soothes your soul. And one simple exercise to help you pay attention to what you're paying attention to.  Mentioned in the podcast  The FCC requires that I tell you that I'm an Amazon Affiliate, which means I earn a bit of commission on each sale.

Happy Pride Month! To celebrate, Mark Buchanan joins the podcast to talk about his work in LGBTQ advocacy and community empowerment. After graduating from Haas with a degree in finance and accounting, Mark spent 22 years at Apple as a finance and sales executive. But now, he runs Buchanan Advisory, where he helps diverse leaders reach their full potential. Mark and host Sean Li discuss Apple's one-of-a-kind culture, how coming out helped Mark in his professional life, and what people can do to be a better ally this Pride month.*OneHaas Alumni Podcast is a production of Haas School of Business and is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Why Mark decided to leave Apple and start Buchanan Advisory It was a journey about how to help develop people and help develop leaders and help people find a voice to be better leaders. And so that really inspired me after I left Apple to start another chapter of how can I give back and help others be successful? So that's what led me to starting Buchanan Advisory was, I think I can help other leaders be more successful and focus on diverse leaders, focus on the LGBTQ+ community and really help them be successful, and be a mentor, a confidant, an advisor, and help people reach their full potential. On the importance of being your full, authentic selfThe more I came out and was comfortable being myself in front of everybody, the more empowered I was and the more happy I was, which actually helped me in my professional career as well.How to support and be an ally to the LGBTQ communityI think learning and being a student of DEI and belonging is important for all allies. And I think participation, you know, with Pride Month coming up, it's an opportunity for allies to learn, celebrate, be a part of it. And I think the more people are willing to be open minded and learn about the community, the more a better ally they can be, and be self-reflective.Why an organization like Openhouse SF is so needed There's still a lot of adversity for the LGBTQ+ community who become seniors. Some of them feel like they have to go back into the closet because there aren't enough elder care services or communities that are accepting of LGBTQ plus seniors, believe it or not.Show Links:LinkedIn ProfileBuchanan AdvisoryOpenhouse SFStartOutGaingelsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/onehaas/donations

Looking for inspiration to push through the challenges of entrepreneurship? Join us for a journey of perseverance as we explore how the words and life of Winston Churchill shaped one entrepreneur's path to success.In this episode, Matt is joined by Mark Buchanan who shares valuable insights about the power of determination, discipline, and courage, and how to overcome the temptation to settle for mediocrity. Don't miss this inspiring episode!Here's some of the great stuff that we cover in this show:Mark's diverse experiences and logical approach to problem-solving have shaped his leadership and business strategy. He enjoys consulting and coaching, focusing on empowering individuals and harmonizing their efforts to achieve business success. He believes that people are fascinating and all have unique stories and cultures.The biggest challenge for Mark is finding a balance between having a strong sense of self and humility, which allows him to be confident in his beliefs but also open to the perspectives of others. He acknowledges that this balance takes time and practice, and that it is important to always be open to the possibility that his beliefs and opinions may be incomplete or incorrect.Mark explains the concept of 4DX, which is a set of four disciplines of execution that help businesses achieve their goals. The four disciplines are painful behavior patterns that require discipline but lead to positive outcomes. The concept comes from the Franklin Covey organization famous for the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People which provides a foundational platform for 4DX.Most people start with good intentions, but over time, they fall back to their default ways due to lack of discipline and familiarity. To achieve above-average success, one needs phenomenal determination and courage, and mutual accountability is pivotal to staying on track. Groups of people working towards a shared vision outperform individuals working alone.Mark finds spending time alone in nature and photography to be energizing and centering, helping him recharge and repair. He also finds meditation and prayer helpful in reminding him of his own smallness and insignificance, which reduces stress and helps him focus on his part in a bigger picture.Mark is involved in starting a new fair trade company called We Are Fair Trade, which is the successor to Trade Craft in its mission. He was inspired to take on this challenge due to his involvement with Tradecraft and the importance of the fair trade mission. The new company aims to use digital opportunities to continue the mission and involve a younger audience in ethical practices.-----------------------ABOUT MARKMark has had a remarkable career, spanning multiple sectors and roles. Starting as an electrical engineer, they moved on to become a leader in the charitable sector before transitioning to consulting, coaching, and founding his own company. With experience working with clients in 60 countries, he has become an expert in leadership, problem-solving, and instilling a culture of strategic execution. His passion for social responsibility and sustainability led him to found We Are Fair Trade Ltd, and he's also a Churchill fan who never gives up.

From smuggling Bibles into closed countries to surviving dangerous situations to losing his marriage and ultimately finding grace in the midst of it all, Mark Buchanan shares his incredible journey in this episode of What's The Story.Tune in to hear how his perseverance and determination, coupled with God's redeeming power, helped him overcome obstacles and live a life of purpose.Here's a summary of this week's story:Mark became a Christian at the age of three after he realized that his naughty behavior was not pleasing to God. His parents explained to him the concept of Jesus and salvation, which led Mark to give his life to God. Despite occasional doubts and struggles, he has never looked back since then, and believes that the grace of God is what keeps him on track.Mark, who grew up as a pastor's kid, shares his story of being beaten up every day for six years due to his Christian faith and his father being a pastor. Despite the violence, Mark persevered and was determined to speak up for his beliefs.Mark believes that bullying has shaped him, but he doesn't feel bitter about it. Growing up assuming that everyone didn't like him has made him less impacted by people's opinions of him. Despite the difficult experiences, he had a good childhood and a strong theological framework that helped him understand the purpose of suffering in life.As part of his work with Derek Prince Ministries, Mark shares how he would smuggled Bibles into the Middle East, where many people did not have access to them due to legal restrictions and the risks and life-threatening situations he had to encounter as part of that.The extreme tension and busy lifestyle broke his marriage. He learned that sometimes the biggest threat to a relationship with God is being too busy working for Him. He left as a divorced man and found God in a less traditional and showy way, which was earth-shattering and destabilizing but ultimately transformative.Mark talks about God's forgiveness and the need to keep moving forward despite past mistakes. He emphasizes the need to keep going and never give up, and that God is in the business of redemption.Mark's one message is about perseverance. It is a collaborative process between our efforts and God's redemption. We need to acknowledge and confront sin, but not give up because God can redeem anything and anybody.ABOUT MARK:Mark has been a Christian since he was just three years old. He's done it all - from Bible College to preaching on the streets, planting a church, and leading worship. He's preached to over 20,000 people, organized conferences worldwide, and even smuggled Bibles! Currently, he is working on a Christian response to poverty in the world of Fair Trade.

How to Attain the Unhurried Life Passage February 26, 2023 1189, 1330, 1735, 2210 I. Introduction: A. As many of you know, I am a very slow walker because of a physical limitation that I have. My wife Kimberly, on the other hand, is a much faster walker than I am. 1. When we walk together almost every time, we start enjoying being together and talking but as time goes on Kim gets further and further ahead of me because her natural walking pace is about double mine. a. Often she does not even recognize the distance between us so I holler out to Kim, “If you want to walk with me Baby, you need to slow down.” 2. You need to know that God is a slow walker! No one has ever referred to our relationship with God as running or speed walking with God but walking with God. If we want to walk with God then we need to walk at his pace. B. But we live in a culture and have been squeezed into its mold where we are driven by busyness and hurry. We have thousands of voices and ideas coming at us every day so, our interior life, our soul, it not only runs out of control but also it is very noisy on the inside. 1. As we learned a few weeks ago - in that condition, it is very very hard for us to hear and discern the still small voice of God, a God who walks slowly and speaks softly. C. Sabbath is one way that God has given to us by which we can learn to slow down to walk with God at his pace by stopping from all our work, resting, delighting and worshipping him. But it is not the only way. 1. One of the premises of this series is that we not only learn and experience God by learning and following his teachings; but also by learning and following his lifestyle, his walk. Doing the things Jesus did, practicing the things Jesus practiced, making habits in our life of the things of which Jesus made habits. Many people call these spiritual disciplines. 2. In our small groups we are learning about and practicing one of them, Sabbath. 3. In this series, we want to give that some larger context and learn a few other key practices that will help us live an unhurried life! • So today, I simply want to answer two questions: what is a spiritual discipline/spiritual practice and why do we do them. First… II. What is a spiritual discipline A. Turn to 1 Timothy 4:7. Read. 1. The word discipline in the Greek is an “active present verb.” – a. The “active voice” of this verb indicates that this is an action that we actually do ourselves b. The “present tense” indicates that the action we do is to happen continuously or repeatedly so as to become a habit. 2. The word discipline simply means to train, which means to make oneself prepared for something by repeated exercise or practice. B. There is a big difference between trying to do something and training to do something. 1. How many of you, who have never trained for a marathon, believe that you can get up tomorrow morning and run a marathon? a. I could “try” tomorrow, but I clearly will either fail or die trying because I am in no way prepared to run a marathon because I have not been training for it. b. However, if we were to take the next year with a plan and making space in our lives to train for a marathon, our chances would be much greater. 2. Dallas Willard said, “Training has to do with arranging my life around those activities that will enable me to do what I cannot now do by direct effort.” 3. My very first Greek class my professor, John Best said this. “That which you wish to do with ease you must first do with diligence.” C. So this is my definition of a “spiritual” discipline – 1. PBP - arranging my life around practices that allow me to connect with God in order to experience God's transforming grace by his Spirit. Repeat • So that answers our first question – what is a spiritual discipline. The second question is III. Why do we do them? A. Look at what he says right here in 1 Timothy 4:7b-8. Read 1. Discipline yourself for “godliness” or another way to say it is repeatedly practice disciplines that will make you godly. 2. Many of us will invest all kinds of time and energy into disciplining ourselves for our physical lives, but little to none in our spiritual lives. a. Bodily discipline is only of a little profit but disciplining ourselves for godliness is profitable for all things since it holds a promise for both this life and the one to come. B. Daniel pictures for us the goal of every discipline. Listen to Daniel 9:3 1. So disciplines are ultimately a way to seek after God with all of our hearts! 2. Listen to what God promises to those who do so a. Read Jeremiah 29:13 b. He promises we will find him when we seek after him in that way! 3. As we saw a few weeks ago that when we find him and behold the glory of God we are transformed by his Spirit more and more into his image from one degree of glory to the next! C. When we connect with God through these practices and disciplines that help us pull away from hurry and busyness – things like - a quiet time on a regular basis, or a Sabbath day once a week, or a time of solitude or silence, etc. it is ultimately so we can reorient our entire lives around him and live the rest of our lives in light of that. 1. The Bible is very clear that God's desire for our lives is not to have special times carved out in our schedules for him but rather wants to be at the center of our entire lives, all the time, in all we do. D. We think of the Christian life like a pie rather than a hub. 1. We cut a pie up into eight different pieces, which do not touch or impact the other pieces. – so we give Jesus a slice of time in the morning for a quiet time but it does not impact the rest of the day, or we give him a day a week in Sabbath, but it does not impact the rest of the week. Image 2. But a hub, like the hub at the center of a bike tire, is at the center of everything, impacts everything else and holds it all together. If that hub is removed for just a moment, the entire wheel falls apart. Image E. Mark Buchanan wrote a wonderful book on the Sabbath called The Rest of God – Restoring Your Soul by Restoring Sabbath. I want to read just a few things he says about this as it has been very helpful to give me perspective 1. Most of us live afraid that we're almost out of time. We are not short of days; we just need to number them a right. 2. Sabbath keeping is more than time management. It is a fresh orientation to time, where we think with holy imagination about how the arc of our moments and hours and days intersect with eternity. 3. The Swahili word for white man is mazungu. It literally means one who spins around. a. That's how east Africans see westerners - turning ourselves dizzy; a great amount of motion without direction; we are people going round and round aimlessly – b. Sabbath time invites us to stop turning round and round. It invites us to remember who we really are. It is the necessary groundwork for reflecting well our lives F. This last fall, as Kim and I met with a man named Doug Slaybaugh to talk about our future one thing he talked about were things that refresh and renew us. We were talking about Sabbath when he asked to me “When do you plan to start that?” 1. This is what I said, “I do not have time to do Sabbath right now, my plan is to start when I retire.” a. My thoughts were I will just drag on with this deep tiredness and out of control heart until I have more time and energy to do something about it b. As the words were coming out of my mouth I felt the foolishness of what I was saying as the Holy Spirit whispered into my heart “the very reason I created Sabbath was to be a gift of rest and refreshment in the midst of your work” G. The very first week back, on Friday I have begun to do Sabbath. Put my phone away, do no church or sermon work and not even work projects around the house. Rather a time to refresh, renew, delight, workout, and reconnect with the Lord. 1. This has been the effect on me after four months. My schedule and demands have not changed, actually in many ways they have grown. 2. But, I can honestly say that in the midst of my demands and busyness I do not feel as tired, I do not feel like my heart is spinning out of control, I do not feel overwhelmed but instead I have a deeply composed and joyful singing heart. H. Let me ask you – are you too busy and have too many things to do that you cannot take advantage of the gift that God gave to his people – the gift of Sabbath a time to stop and rest, refocus and reconnect, and delight! 1. A gift that not only impacts one day of your week but a gift the transforms the way you live your live 24/7, 365! 2. No, it is not a command, it is not a law for us – it is just a gift that God created for his people. As Jesus said, “the Sabbath was created for man and not man for the Sabbath” 3. It's a matter of wisdom! It is a matter of composure! It is a matter of joy! It is a first step toward reorienting your entire life around Jesus as the hub or your life rather than just as the one who gets a slice of your life!

Today we're talking about the spiritual discipline of paying attention and awakening to God's love for you. Through this series on spiritual health, I want us – women of God and sisters in Christ – to be healthy and to shed who we are not and the false narratives that don't serve us well so we can live and move and have our being in freedom and grace.  I pray that we will lean – not into the discipline, for the discipline isn't the point –but that we would lean into the God who is actively shaping us and that we will learn to love who we are becoming.  In this episode, Anjuli shares: How to pay attention is different seasons How to let people in when you're terrified And what it looks like for Jesus to be with you Key Quotes “The way in which I was doing the spiritual disciplines was totally killing me inside.” - Author Anjuli Paschall “The thought of stopping and being alone in a cabin for three weeks terrified me. And what terrified me the most was being with myself.” - Author Anjuli Paschall “When we stay with ourselves, and we stay with God staying with us, that is the living water we are thirsty for.”- Author Anjuli Paschall “When we stop and open our hearts, it's messy.” - Author Anjuli Paschall “The invitation the Lord is giving you is to stay because that's where the Lord is. He is with you.” - Author Anjuli Paschall “The real hope with any discipline is to not get good at the discipline but to become wise and well in the thing you want to grow in.” - Author Anjuli Paschall “What do you see? When you look in the mirror and look at yourself, what's there?” - Author Anjuli Paschall “Paying attention is actually receiving the life you've been given.” - Author Anjuli Paschall “Paying attention looks like being really honest with myself and being really honest with others.” - Author Anjuli Paschall “Trust the journey Jesus has you on.” - Author Anjuli Paschall “The capacity for you to be vulnerable is dependent on the other person's capacity and your experience of their reliability.” - Author Anjuli Paschall “Now I care very little about someone perceiving me as a good mom. I care about being the mom my kids need.” - Author Anjuli Paschall “Parenting is a tender balance between love and freedom.” - Author Anjuli Paschall As Mentioned in the Podcast The FCC requires that I tell you that I'm an Amazon Affiliate, which means I earn a bit of commission on each sale.

Today we enter the pastoral epistles in our journey through Scripture. Notes/Quotes: 1 Timothy - Christine Reading 3:14-16 Disciples, Deceptions, Definitions “As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus…” (1 Tim. 1:3a.) "...remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine, 4 nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith." (1 Tim. 1:3b-4) "3 If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, 4 he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, 5 and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.” (1 Tim. 6:3-5) “Countless times I have heard Christians say, ‘Why do I need to study doctrine or theology when all I need to know is Jesus?' My immediate reply is this: ‘Who is Jesus?' As soon as we begin to answer that question, we are involved in doctrine and theology. No Christian can avoid theology. Every Christian is a theologian. Perhaps not a theologian in the technical or professional sense, but a theologian nevertheless. The issue for Christians is not whether we are going to be theologians but whether we are going to be good theologians or bad ones.  A good theologian is one who is instructed by God.” (R.C. Sproul) John Calvin on sound doctrine: Part 1: sound doctrine is that which magnifies the grace of God in Christ, from which we learn where we ought to seek our salvation.  Part 2: Sound doctrine is that by which the life is framed and transformed to the fear of God, and the practice of obedience. Walking according to the law of God. The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. (1 Tim. 1:5) “14 I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these things to you so that, 15 if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth.” (1 Tim. 3:14 & 15) “It has been right before our eyes in the Bible all along. Scores of references to “brothers and sisters,” to God as our Father, to Jesus as both our Bridegroom and Elder Brother, to the essential loving unity of God's family, and to the household environment of holiness, spiritual nurture and safety. Paul taught Timothy “how people ought to conduct themselves in God's household, which is the church of the living God.” (1 Tim. 3:15). He told the Ephesians, “You are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God's people and also members of his household” (Eph. 2:19)….Pastor and writer Mark Buchanan affirms this: “Jesus is not ashamed to be called our brother. The Father gives us the Spirit of adoption through whom we cry, ‘Abba!' Jesus asks who his mother and brother and sisters are, and answers they are those who do the Father's will. From the cross Jesus says to the disciple John and his mother Mary, ‘Behold your son; behold your mother.' And he says that our loyalty to him must transcend biological attachments.” (Lee Eclov)

Today, Sean and Andrew learn about rest that is restorative and healing. In a culture that views hustle and busyness as badges of honor, it can be hard to understand how to rest well. Mark Buchanan helps us understand Sabbath rest and provides some very practical ways to help us realize this type of rest from his own experience.

Nathan welcomes Mark Buchanan to the podcast to discuss the wonderfully “reliable” spiritual practice of walking, which is the topic of Mark's newest book, God Walk: Moving at the Speed of Your Soul.Show Notes[1:17] I'm curious, how long have you been a speed walker?[2:09] What has your experience and practice been with walking?[3:58] What did you learn from writing the book?[5:48] What happens for you when you walk?[7:58] A friend of mine gave me a quote: Those who work with their mind rest with their hands; those who work with their hands rest with their mind. I think of walking a little like I do silence—that it's reliable.[9:34] When you use the phrase “God speed,” what do you mean by that?[16:08] What was your favorite chapter?[22:06] What do you hope for people reading your book?[23:03] You start the book referencing a friend of yours who is not able to walk. Could you give a word for people who are not able-bodied…?[25:12] Are there other things you have learned from your indigenous friends?[27:47] Any pilgrimages you have done or would like to do?Resources God Walk, Moving at the Speed of Your Soul, by Mark Buchanan The Rest of God: Restoring Your Soul by Restoring Sabbath, by Mark Buchanan Three Mile an Hour God, by Koyama Kosuke The Reason You Walk, by Wab Kinew

Deuteronomio 7:9«SÉ FIEL A TI MISMO». La frase está muy de moda hoy día. Transmite la idea de ser sincero y honesto con uno mismo; conocer bien lo que uno cree y practicarlo. En un mundo que predica el evangelio de la autorrealización, encaja a la perfección. Pero hay un problema con esta filosofía de la vida, tal como lo ilustra el pastor Mark Buchanan en el siguiente relato.Es el caso de una boda que Buchanan deberá oficiar, pero la pareja de novios insistía en escribir sus propios votos matrimoniales. Cuidadoso de lo que esos votos «personales» dicen a veces, él pidió revisarlos. En particular, le llamó la atención una frase que el novio había escrito en sus promesas a la novia. Decía: «Te prometo ser fiel a mí mismo»."¿Sería eso lo que el novio quería decir?", se preguntó Buchanan. Entonces le pregunte si estaba seguro. Cuando el novio respondió que estaba completamente seguro, Buchanan replicó:—Quizá lo que pasa es que eres muy diferente a mí —le dijo“. Te explico por qué. Hay en mí una parte que es generosa, confiable, responsable... Pero hay otra, quizás la mayor, que es holgazana, lujuriosa, ambiciosa... ¿A cuál de esas dos partes le he ser fiel?¡Muy buena pregunta, Mark Buchanan! Muy buena porque reconoce la realidad de la naturaleza humana, y porque acepta, al igual que lo hizo el apóstol Pablo siglos atrás, «que el mal está en mi» (Rom. 7:21); es decir, que en hay en el corazón humano una lucha permanente entre el bien y el mal; y que, al final, «no hago el bien que quiero, sino el mal que no quiero» (vers. 19).¿La solución a este dilema? La solución —escribe Buchanan- está en decidir que no seré fiel a mí mismo, sino a Dios. * (Enfasis añadido). Es aquí donde entra en juego nuestro texto para hoy, porque cuando te propones ser fiel a Dios descubre que, sin su ayuda, no lo puedo lograr; pero, con su poder, todo lo puedo, porque él es un Dios fiel, «que guarda el pacto y la misericordia a los que le aman» (Deut. 7:9).Ahora bien, ¡mucho cuidado! No estoy diciendo aquí que no seré fiel a mis convicciones, a mis principios. No. Lo que estoy diciendo es que, entre ser fiel a mí mismo y ser fiel a Dios, prefiero ser fiel a Dios, porque yo soy débil y mi corazón es engañoso, pero mi Dios «es fuerte, misericordioso y piadoso; tardo para la ira y grande en misericordia y verdad» (Éxodo 34:6). ¿Qué más puedo pedir? Padre celestial, en este momento te entrego mi vida. Ayúdame a creer que «tu fidelidad para siempre» (Sal. 117: 2, RVC).*Mark Buchanan, Tu Dios es demasiado seguro, Multnomah, 2001, p. 72;

When the general public thinks about physics, they're usually thinking about the origins of the universe, quantum theory; other terms that have bled into pop culture. But true physics isn't elegant in the way it is seen in textbooks. Our guest says the science is much more chaotic than that and Economics has a lot to learn from physics.Mark Buchanan is a physicist and science writer with Bloomberg, and is the author of the book "Forecast: What Physics, Meteorology and the Natural Sciences Can Teach Us About Economics."In this episode, Mark joins Greg as they discuss physics envy, negative & positive feedback, equilibrium vs disequilibrium, the similarities between economics and weather patterns and predicting traffic flows. Episode Quotes:Natural instabilities are all around us.Storms, in the sense of weather, are the result of natural instabilities that the system churns up. The same thing as financial crises, economic crises, debt crises, all those things are natural instabilities that get churned up by the normal workings of the economy. It's just going to create those things. And, it seemed to me that economics would be well placed to put more emphasis than it does today on understanding the instabilities that create all these kinds of things so that we can understand when they're likely to occur, perhaps see how we might be able to head them off, avoid the conditions where they tend to occur. And maybe some of them are things that have to occur. Maybe there's no suppressing them. We have to live with them and try to make them as least damaging as we can.Valuable experiments gives us systemsSome of the most valuable experiments in physics and mathematics are those things that give us systems that work in such a totally [different] way that our intuition would have never expected anything to work.On equilibrium mindsetThe equilibrium mindset makes you originally think that anything crazy that's happened or out of the norm must have been caused by something unusual, some external factor that came into the system and triggered some big offense.Show Links:Recommended Resources:unSILOed: Heroes and Villains: Stories Behind the Flash Crash feat.

================================================== ==SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1================================================== == DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA ADULTOS 2022“NUESTRO MARAVILLOSO DIOS”Narrado por: Roberto NavarroDesde: Chiapas, MéxicoUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church 15 DE JULIO«¿CÓMO ESTÁ LA AGENDA PARA HOY?»«Ustedes bien saben (...) que Dios llenó de poder y del Espíritu Santo a Jesús de Nazaret, y que Jesús anduvo haciendo bien y sanando a todos los que sufrían bajo el poder del diablo, Hechos 10: 37-38, DHH SIEMPRE ME HE CONSIDERADO un buen administrador del tiempo. Antes de que comience el nuevo día, por lo general sé qué actividades voy a realizar: a qué hora comeré, leeré, escribiré, haré ejercicio, jugaré..., y más o menos cuánto tiempo dedicaré a cada una.Casi se podría decir que mejoró este rasgo de mi persona con cierta satisfacción, hasta un día que leí un excelente artículo de Mark Buchanan que literalmente me movió el piso. Dice Buchanan que el rasgo distintivo de las personas con sentido de propósito no es su habilidad para administrar el tiempo, sino su habilidad para prestar atención. ¿Qué quiere decir? Buchanan lo ilustra por medio de la experiencia que tuvo un pastor amigo, de Toronto. Dice él que después de concluir un servicio religioso, su amigo recibió una nota anónima que decía: «Pastor. -, apreciaría mucho que sus oraciones resultaron más cortas. Su oración pastoral aparece doce minutos con cuarenta y tres segundos».Aparte de medir el tiempo que rompió la oración, ¿qué hizo esta persona ese día en la iglesia? ¿Será que también midió cuándo llegó a ser el sermón? El punto aquí no es defender las oraciones largas, pero ¿cuánto provecho espiritual puede obtener quien va a la iglesia solo para estar mirando el reloj? Creo que Buchanan tiene mucha razón cuando dice que la persona que escribió esa nota «sabe contar el tiempo, pero carece de discernimiento para apreciar el momento». *«Discernimiento para apreciar el momento». ¡He aquí uno de los rasgos distintivos de la gente que deja una huella indeleble a su paso por este mundo! Aunque tienen una agenda llena de actividades por realizar, nunca están tan ocupados como para dejar de ayudar al necesitado. Son sensibles a la belleza de un hermoso atardecer. Disfrutan de ratos placenteros en compañía de sus familiares y amigos. Y siempre tienen tiempo para estar en comunión con Dios... En pocas palabras, no viven bajo la tiranía de la agenda; en cambio, presta atención: sus ojos y oídos siempre están abiertos para detectar el clamor de un alma en necesidad y para disfrutar de las cosas buenas que nos trae cada nuevo día.Y ahora dime tú: ¿No fue este el ejemplo que nos dejó nuestro Señor? Si hubo alguien con una «agenda apretada» para cada día, ese era Jesús. Sin embargo, como dice nuestro texto de hoy, «anduvo haciendo bien y sanando a todos los que sufrían bajo el poder del diablo». ¿Cómo está tu agenda para hoy?Padre celestial, capacítame para que hoy, en medio de la múltiple actividad del día, mis sentidos siempre estén atentos a las necesidades de mi próximo.*Mark Buchanan, «Schedule, Interrupted», en Christianity Today, febrero de 2006, p. 43.

Are you flourishing? Are your students? Your school community? What do we mean by “flourishing” anyway? This week we wrap up our five-week series discussing Lynn Swaner and Andy Wolfe's new book Flourishing Together: A Christian Vision for Students, Educators, and Schools. The book is divided into five sections, and in this episode, we discuss part five of the book, which is all about “well-being.” As we begin, we talk about work-life rhythm, and why it's often so difficult for teachers to find this rhythm. We discuss the challenges of resting well, and other facets of well-being for teachers, administrators, and schools. As we conclude this series, we are grateful for the work Lynn and Andy put into this book, and if you have been listening along and haven't yet read the book yourself, please take this encouragement to find a colleague or two, read the book, and discuss it together this summer. We hope our conversations spark some discourse of your own! We would love to hear your reactions to this book as well! Please feel free to share your thoughts, questions, comments, and wonderings with us at hallwayconvospod@gmail.com.  If you'd like to pick up a copy of the book for yourself (which we definitely recommend!) you can purchase it here: Amazon link In today's episode, Matt references the book The Rest of God: Restoring Your Soul by Restoring Sabbath by Mark Buchanan.

Love At Work: The Rest Of The Resurrection - by Ken Wetmore At the end of creation week, Jesus rested on Sabbath. After accomplishing our salvation on the cross, Jesus rested on Sabbath. Jesus invites us to join Him in Sabbath rest, a time for the renewal of our relationship with Him and the world around us. We rest knowing Jesus has perfectly accomplished everything that needs to be done. One of our #WholeLifeReflections this week asked:  Why did God give his creations rest before they had worked? How might that answer apply in your life today? We would love to hear your thoughts and comments!  Reach out to us with your questions and comments using the information below: ■ Text/Voicemail:  407-965-1607 ■ Email:  podcast@wholelife.church BOOKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Subversive Sabbath: The Surprising Power of Rest in a Nonstop World by A.

The world views balance as making room for the things that are most important to us. However, as believers who submit both our work and rest to Christ the King, balance is making room for those things that are important to his Kingdom. Momma Theologians Practical Takeaways Do you struggle more with the idol of work or the idol of rest? Take time today to pray through the idols of your heart. (If you're like me, you may find that you are tempted to do both in different seasons). If you tend to idolize rest, I recommend reading The Rest of God by Mark Buchanan. If you tend to idolize work, I recommend reading Humble Roots by Hannah Anderson. Momma Theologians Prayerful Takeaways Make a list of verses that address idolization of work or rest. Write them in your planner or calendar to help you remember the promises of God throughout your day. Find a list of the attributes of God and pray through them. Reframing our day in light of God's character can help us honor him with both our work and our rest. Text another momma and share your struggle. In our culture that celebrates the “superhero” and “hot mess” moms, you can encourage other mommas to become a “Kingdom-minded” momma. ____________________ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR DEVOTIONAL NEWSLETTER TO STAY CONNECTED WITH OUR MINISTRY Go to www.mommatheologians.com to find articles and essays written by mothers just like you as they share stories and reflections about how they grow spiritually in Christ in the midst of motherhood.
