Focusing on the Gospel of John's account of Mary Magdalene at the empty tomb, Potter highlights her encounter with the risen Jesus and her role as the first witness.

Pastor Mark's sermon uses the biblical account of Jesus washing his disciples' feet to illustrate true greatness as humble service. He identifies five pitfalls of pride—control, comparison, competition, criticism, and credit-seeking—that hinder such service. The sermon emphasizes that following Jesus's example of servant leadership brings blessings, exemplified by a story of a birthday party for a prostitute. Ultimately, the message encourages listeners to prioritize selfless service over self-aggrandizement.Support the showThanks for listening! Follow us on Facebook or Instagram more info colonialkc.org

But in answer to the question, “Why infant baptism?” I will suffice it to say that baptism is less about “me” and more about “we.” Baptism has replaced circumcision as the sign of the Covenant of Grace. And just as the sign of circumcision applied to both infants and adults in the Old Testament, the sign of baptism also applies to both infants and adults in the New Testament.Support the showThanks for listening!

The primary teachers' union says there are other matters which should come before improvements to the measuring of student performance. An Auditor-General report says there's a gap in the Ministry of Education's information on student performance before NCEA level. It recommends better collection of progress reports on primary and intermediate students. New Zealand Education Institute President Mark Potter told Ryan Bridge that there needs to be more investment in education across the board. He says it'll require new money to be invested, not just clip and cut funding from one part of education, and moved to another. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Education sector is hoping today's Budget will address the staff shortages.  $53 million was allocated to the training and recruitment of new teachers in a pre-Budget announcement, but NZEI's Mark Potter said that it's not going to be enough.  He told Mike Hosking that they need both staffing and financial support, as well as specialists, therapists, psychologists, and so on to address the desperate needs around the country.  They're hoping to see some increase in the Operational Funding Grant, as the increased cost of living as increased the cost of education, Potter said.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Primary teachers' union NZEI wants to see literacy teaching methods that are personalised to students, and says it's risky for politicians to mandate classrooms too much. NZEI president Mark Potter spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

An education union says there's more than one way to teach the basics in schools. The Government's committing $67 million in the Budget to roll-out structured literacy in state schools from 2025. It uses phonics to decode words - and teaches spelling skills and components like vocabulary, comprehension and writing. Educational Institute President Mark Potter says such methods are essential, but there are many. "Good, capable readers like yourself and myself - we use a variety of strategies. Phonics is only one of those strategies we do use." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Belief our poor PISA results stem from our high child poverty. Scores from 2022 in the international OECD test of student achievement show a big fall in Kiwi maths ability since 2018 - a continuing trend. Average reading and science scores aren't significantly different, but have also declined over time. NZEI President Mark Potter says what goes on at home has a huge impact on children's learning. "We've got a higher than OECD average number of children who don't eat on a regular basis at home, and there's a direct correlation with maths achievement. And that's found around the globe."

Justin joined this week by Elvis fan and host of "Stories We Could Tell: A Mavericks FANCast" Mark Potter, and together they dive into the deeply-felt influence of Elvis's music on Raul Malo, lead singer of the band The Mavericks, famously known as the Grammy-award winning country music band that had their most mainstream success in the 1990s. Gurdip and Justin have discussed and praised Raul and The Mavericks a number of times on TCBCast, particularly on our "Elvis covers" episodes. From Raul's unique insights on "It's Now or Never" and his longstanding love of "Aloha from Hawaii" to The Mavericks' opportunity to collaborate with Scotty Moore and DJ Fontana on the "All the King's Men" album and beyond, Mark and Justin hit on as much as we can! For Song of the Week, Mark selects "Alla En El Rancho Grande," which, although Elvis joked around with in the rehearsals for "That's The Way It Is," quickly reveals itself to have a vast amount of history and alternate versions dating all the way back to Mexican cinema of the 1930s. Then, Justin opts for Elvis's 1961 take on "Judy," originally from 1960 by writer Teddy Redell.  If you'd like to hear more of Mark's podcast episodes, which features fan interviews, former band members and deep-dives into The Mavericks' discography and other influences, you can check out "Stories We Could Tell" at https://mavericksfancast.podbean.com/ and on any other major podcast platforms, and follow along at facebook.com/StoriesWeCouldTell If you enjoy TCBCast, please consider supporting us with a donation at Patreon.com/TCBCast.

Episode Description: Mark Potter, the Chief Information Officer at Optus, discusses how his career interest shifted from civil engineering to tech to banking to telecommunications at Optus. He shares his view “that great technology is a result of people.” Tune in to learn how Mark endeavors to maintain perspective on what's most important. Intro: We can be so passionate about tech that we can get caught up in its concepts and capabilities. But what is at the core of all technology? Our guest today, Mark Potter, the Chief Information Officer at Optus, says “that great technology is a result of people.” Mark's fascinating career evolved from studying civil engineering to eventually working in the banking and telecommunications industries. The throughline for him has always been a desire to come up with solutions to challenges. Tune in for more of Mark's story and learn how he keeps perspective on what he values the most. Enjoy this episode! Main Takeaways: Humanity is the Foundation: Mark reminds us that humanity is behind impressive tech. He also points out how a company with “purpose” attracts employees who are seeking the same. His view is that engineers want to be a part of performing meaningful work. Building a Career: In advice to up-and-coming talent, Mark advises that people focus more on attaining an employment situation with “career” potential rather than narrowly looking for a “job.” Leaning into a longer-term mindset is sage advice to build one's career and life. The Future at Optus: In envisioning the future of Optus, Mark imagines a business that moves rapidly with simplified processes and where there is a great deal of interconnection. His vision is a beautiful one that's hopefully realized in many companies. Maintaining Perspective: Shouldn't we assess our values just as rigorously as our work data? Mark describes a process he's undertaken to map out his priorities and then contemplate if he's been focusing his attention on these values. Key Quotes: [05:58] “As a CIO, I think that great technology is a result of people. The paradox is great Technology is all about the people, and that's absolutely true across banking and telecommunications.” [09:03 - this is the correct timestamp. If I try to hyperlink, it goes to a different section] “And typically what I find is that great engineers want to solve real problems and get beyond tech for tech's sake and get into tech for some sort of higher order purpose. And so our purpose is really key to the way that we attract and retain people and [it's about] creating the opportunities for teams to have that real impact.” 16:49) “I'd love to see technology as just part of the product and product management. So you can imagine moving from a project management bias that we have at the moment into product management and then the technology is embedded [and] embraced within the product itself. So, the distance between a business stakeholder and an IT colleague is a lot more blurred than what it has been historically.” [29:57] “So I think platforms as an economy have kind of broken the economic paradigm of a traditional value chain.” [39:58] “I think organizations where there's a meritocracy rather than a bureaucracy is important where talent can be elevated based on merit. And then maybe, last but not least, organizations, that have got a culture where failure is okay. Learning through getting things a bit wrong is a great way to learn.”
