Happy New Years! It’s hard to believe we’re halfway through January already. I don’t know about you, but I confess that when that clock struck midnight, ushering out 2020, some small part of me expected that things would magically change. A new year. A new leaf. A new beginning. I suspect I wasn’t alone. Let’s face it, 2020 was a different year. It left many of us feeling unsettled and uncertain. It’s no surprise that we hoped for better. And yet, so far, it would be easy to see 2021 as bringing more of the same. From rising COVID numbers to sieges on the U.S. Capitol. What if, rather than settling in for another year of uncertainty, you chose to take control of your future? What if you decided to make 2021 your best year ever? Join host, Cindy Watson, as she shares the path for you to design your personal blueprint to step into the best version of yourself. Why not choose today to step up and design your destiny? Instead of focusing on the mundane that keeps you away from your bigger dreams, you can choose to create a blueprint that is meaningful and helps you step into the best version of your life. Instead of letting the uncertainty or negativity overwhelm, you can choose a powerful new future for yourself. And make no mistake … it is a choice. There is much in this world outside our control. This last year reminded us of that in a visceral way. But the beauty of this thing called life is that you can choose how you react, what meaning you attach to your external circumstances and how you’ll show up. You can choose to overcome uncertainty by taking charge of your life. Part 1 of that process is Reflection. Part 2 is where you start to Design Your Destiny Part 3 is Overcoming Obstacles Part 4 is Discovering Your Why Be sure to tune in next week to explore Parts 5 and 6: Productivity and Staying Power Remember to grab your free gift: the Make 2021 Your Best Year ebook at: https://www.womenonpurpose.ca/2021  Check out our Purpose Planner at:  If you want your planner sent to the US click this link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1999292308?ref=myi_title_dp  If you want your planner sent to Canada click this link: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1999292308?ref=myi_title_dp  Also make sure to join our Women on purpose community at https://www.facebook.com/groups/Womenonpurposecommunity/

Here the focus is on Parts 4 and 7 of the new book, and in particular Richard Lenski’s Long Term Evolution Experiment at Michigan State. What has this long-running project demonstrated? As Behe explains in the book (and elaborates on in today’s podcast), “The study has addressed some narrow points of peculiar interest to evolutionary population geneticists, but for proponents of intelligent design the bottom line is that the great majority of even beneficial mutations have turned out to be due to the breaking, degrading, or minor tweaking of pre-existing genes or regulatory regions.

Ps Danny welcomes us with a few words of his testimonial of being born again and proclaiming that spending time with the Word of God is what has helped him grow and he encourages us to believe that and follow his example. In introducing today's topic he points out that it is easy for us to keep wanting to go back to the 'old days'. He gives us a quick revision of the first 2 Parts of this series and proceeds with this question: "What Happens When God Burns Your Ships?" After all, in the first two Parts of the series it is the individuals that burned their own ships. Using several references in Numbers 13 and 14, Ps Danny reminds us of when the spies were sent out to check out the Promised Land and bring back some reports. It's a well-known story: 10 spies brought back negative reports and only 2 spies brought back positive reports. Ps Danny then clearly describes just how God 'burned' their 'ships' and that then caused immense troublesomeness for the Israelites in the wilderness. 40 years of it, in fact! Ps Danny elaborates on all the details of this, and how it applies to us. He ends with these questions for us: - Who are we influencing? - What words are we saying? - What ships have been burned in our lives?

If Ron Howard Uses Focus Groups... Ron Howard has been in the entertainment industry since he was a little boy on the Andy Griffith Show, Later he was on Happy Days and since then has been making phenomenal movies. He's been nominated for 114 awards and won 39 times for a percentage of 34%, In 2002 he won with A Beautiful Mind for Best Picture and Best Director. One might say, "Not too shabby." Rob was on the true stories show on Satelite radio talking about always screens his movies and checks in with the audience to see how the content is connecting with his audience. In the interview, he said, "We did our first previews, and I was so defensive about it and against it, and I wound up learning so many important truths about our story, that to this day, even the Beatles documentary, even though I have Final Cut, I screened the movies and I know how to ask the questions and I ask people to fill out questionnaires. I find it very, very useful. It's difficult but I always think that it's like the playwright getting to see the show out of town before you take it to Broadway. I don't think it's really any different than that. I have the confidence of having done it a lot, and the power of Final Cut, so that this is about me understanding how the movie works. It's comforting on the one hand, but I think it's really important to understand how the movie is communicating with an audience. That's what entertainment is: Is something is communicated to you and do you enjoy it? Why Podcasters Skip The Focus Group If this is your first podcast, you probably spent much more time on their episodes than they originally planned, so the last thing you want to hear is that you need to go back and do some work. While understandable, if the goal is to grow your podcast, constructive feedback is something that is essential to growing your podcast. Most of us are familiar with the story of Thomas Edison doing 1000 attempts at the light bulb that didn't work. When asked about it these "failures" Edison replied, "I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps." In some cases, people see their episode as art. If that is you, then skip this episode. Your goal is to not grow your audience but to just put the podcast out there. The podcast is not for your audience. It's for you. Just Like Your Podcast, Creating Your Survey Starts With Why Today you will hear from Glenn the Geek who runs the Horse Radio Network. His primary income is sponsorship and a membership site. We will hear from Scott Johnson from the What Was That Like? podcast that has been steadily growing since it launched. Scott was looking for feedback on his content. The Process of Creating a Survey Identify why you're doing your survey (and what you're trying to learn) Choose your questions Deliver your survey Collect your feedback Organize your data and look for trends Implement changes based on feedback. Follow up to ensure you've achieved your goal. Potential Questions Demographics: This is where you ask age, sex, income. Where they hang out: Where else do they get information like yours? What other podcasts, forums, magazines, etc do they consume? By knowing where your audience is you can go to where they are and make friends. Content Questions: How long do they listen? Favorite parts of the show? Parts they wish would be different? Audio quality? The top thing they've gained from listening? Advertising Questions: Have you purchased any products from sponsors on this show? Who do you think would be a good sponsor? Do you skip the ads? What was the last thing you purchased? If You're Just Launching Take the episode you feel is ready for the public and get specific. As about the audio quality, and how far people listened.

How are local school districts heading into the start of 2021? We talk with the superintendents of Brighton, Greece, and West Irondequoit Central School Districts about their plans for the pandemic winter. Parts of each of those towns were designated as Orange Zones before Thanksgiving. Under the state’s rules, school buildings within Orange Zones must close to in-person learning for at least four calendar days and cannot reopen until testing criteria is met. During his press briefing Monday, Governor Andrew Cuomo touted the benefits of in-person learning, but said it’s up to the districts to make the final decision about when schools reopen after meeting criteria. This hour, the superintendents discuss their districts’ learning models, how students and staff are adapting, and what they expect in their schools for the next several months.

We kick off on January 18th, 2021!   On today's episode, we're exploring what happens when we do the work to heal old hurts and change our behaviours. Healing happens when we’re presented with a choice: take the more comfortable option of remaining the same, or sit with the uncomfortable truth that we can both do and be better.  It’s going to force you to face parts of yourself that would be easier to avoid. But the alternative is to instead repeat the same patterns and behaviours over and over again, to our own detriment, until we reach a point of no longer tolerating our own bullshit. Sometimes, it requires a cataclysmic event in our lives to push us to the point of change. A health scare, a relationship ending, missing an opportunity because we didn’t step up the way we know we could be capable of. And when we do this work, over time you begin to notice changes. Parts of you will soften and become more forgiving, compassionate and tolerant, while other parts of you may harden and you'll develop firmer boundaries and less tolerance for bullshit that go against your core values.

We are in a new series on the gospel of John entitled the story of Amazing love. Last week introduced the book from John 1:1-5.And we saw from this text 2 things:That Jesus Christ did not have a beginning. In the beginning was the word. God had no beginning. In the beginning God was wasing. In the beginning God was already there and had always been there.That Jesus Christ was the creator. All things were made through him. That all the energy in the universe, 10^70th joules of power were not made by Jesus, they were made through Jesus. You’ve perhaps heard the creative act of God being described as ex nihilo (out of nothing). Well, if we want to get technical about it, that’s not quite true. The universe was not created ex nihilo. It was created ex christus. Or more accruately still, propter christo. The universe was created THROUGH Jesus Christ.So the first five verses begin by making this point. Why? There’s a definite reason. In the pages that are to follow we will befriend this real flesh and blood Jesus who eats and tires. A man who is filled with the emotions we are familiar with - sorrow, joy, anger and empathy. We will meet a man who is beset with human weakness. And John intends us to connect the man who is described in these pages to the omnipotent, all-powerful, creative LIFE-GIVING God of the pre-created world.John is going to argue that the man Jesus is in fact, God. Nobody would be expected to come to that conclusion by merely looking at him. Why? because he looked so NORMAL. The prophet Isaiah predicted this.Jesus wasn’t born with super powers. John knows that you are going to make a snap judgment concerning the nature of this man. We stereotype and you are not to be blamed. Who in the world would believe that this guy you are looking at, this guy who looks like a man, and an average one at that, is in fact God himself, the creator of the entire universe?John was written for this very purpose - that you might believe that this man, this Jesus, is in fact, the Christ (Messiah) the son of the living God and that by believing you might experience LIFE in his name (spiritual life and physical life).Or you could put it this way: John 1:1-5 is the claim that Jesus is God. The rest of the book is going to try and defend the claim.The Prologue of Revelation.John 1:1-18 is considered the prologue. It’s the word given before the word. It’s the 20,000 foot view of what’s to come. And the prologue begins with the concept of REVELATION.The REVELATION IS THE CLAIM. The claim of John 1:1-5 is that Jesus is God. Revelation, according to the Christian tradition, is God choosing to disclose himself. In order for us to know anything about God, he’s got to make the first move. Without God initiating, we could never know Him and we could never fully know ourselves.Perhaps it’s obvious but it’s worth noting that divine revelation is by no means a given. There’s nothing that says that God had to reveal himself. He could have just as easily created the world, walked away and left us to our own demise. A deist believes that there is evidence of a God but he is unknowable because he has not chosen to reveal himself. God wound up the world like a clock and then left it on a shelf and he has simply gone elsewhere, wherever Gods go. But that is not the claim made here. God has chosen to reveal himself. And he did that through his Son, Jesus Christ.Now that self-revelation was preceded by a messenger named John and that’s where our text today begins.Revelation here is pictured as light that slices through darkness. Imagine being in that dark cave we described last week. Am I in a chamber 8 feet high or 800 feet high? What colors are in the rocks? Is there water? Are there crystals or stalactites or are the walls smooth. It’s all there, it just can’t be known because we don’t have light to reveal it.Without a source of light/revelation we are blind men groping in a dark world. Without light/revelation, our observational abilities can only get us so far.Consider what is knowable about God from mere observation of the created order. No REVELATION just OBSERVATION. Let’s assume you deduce from looking at creation that there must be a God. There is too much complexity to explain it away by chance. But let me ask you just one simple question about this creator: Is he merciful or merciless?What evidence could you begin acquiring?Zebras get taken out by Tigers. That’s pretty violent. That doesn’t seem too merciful.Innocent people get murdered, women are oppressed, defrauded? God does not seem merciful at all by that metric.On the other handIt doesn’t seem that we are not destroyed instantly by our evil actions. It seems like we are given a second chance. That seems merciful.The wicked and the righteous alike are given gifts of a beautiful day, the opportunity to love, wonderful food. That seems merciful.It’s inconclusive. We can’t know. But here’s an even more fundamental question. Is being merciful good or bad? Without God revealing himself, we can’t even answer which is more noble?If there’s no revelation, if there’s no place where God has spoken and told us what is right and wrong, then all morality can be nothing more than a matter of opinion. It can’t be absolute.If there is no revelation, then a woman might rise up and object to being treated like a slave. But from the perspective of the one enslaving, it’s a good thing. He gets a free servant. There is not a way you can consider one inferior to another. You have no basis for saying so. Does not the natural world operate according to the principle of survival of the fittest?When it comes to our sexual ethic, our sense of justice, our sense of right and wrong, there cannot be absolute answers to these questions without revelation. We need the creator to intervene and say:I did not intend for you to behave like this. I intended instead for you to behave like this.This is acting according to design. This is acting against my design.Only a creator can say that. Do you see how lost we are without revelation?We need intellectual light.We need moral light.And Jesus Christ comes bringing both. Jesus is the LIGHT.Now we are going to save the story of John the Baptist for next week but suffice it to say that God used John not as the light, but as the man who would announce that the light was coming.John was to Jesus as a map of Disneyland is to Disneyland John was to Jesus as a sign to McCall is to McCallJesus was the light of the world. John handed you the flashlight and told you where the on switch was.So the prologue begins by telling us that light came into the world. Again, the prologue is the overview of the entire thing. So John’s going to show us people’s reaction to the light. **John essentially says, “I am about to tell you a story.** I am going to tell you about that period of history when the Messiah, Jesus the Christ, The LIGHT of the world, was REVEALED.”But BEFORE I tell you the beginning, let me first tell you the end. Here’s the summary of how people reacted to that REVELATORY claim. The claim itself divided. The claim itself was a WEDGE.Some loved him. Some hated.Some worshiped. Others cursed.Some gave everything they had for him. Others gave everything they had to destroy him.Some believed. Others disbelieved.So John begins with the end. He starts with how the REVELATION itself was ultimately and finally received.Now let’s look at the response that people had to this light.Let’s start with rejection.At first he points out the irony. How could the creator, the one who owns everything, made everything, is the source of life for everything, be rejected?How could the owner and creator be rejected by the creatures?Several years ago, I remember reading about the CEO of Mozilla. He was an entrepreneur and built the firefox browser and this giant company from the ground up. And even though he was the founder and developer and CEO of the company his board fired him for being unwilling to support a political agenda. How can it be that the man who built the company be fired by the company he built?That’s what’s being described here. Jesus Christ is the creator of all things, and specifically the human machine.Jesus Christ is the inventor of DNA with it’s 3 million base pairs.He didn’t even need a patent because it’s so complex nobody could copy it.The inventor of the eye with it’s ability to differentiate between 10 million colors.The inventor of the ear complete with it’s ability to magnify sound and provide feedback for balance.The inventor of neurons that chemically transmit information at 120 m/s.The inventor of the brain with it’s 100 billion neuronsSo God invented, gifted all this, graced the world with all this and then here’s what happened.We used the eye given by Jesus to see Jesus.We used the ear given by Jesus to hear Jesus.We used the neurons given by Jesus to transfer that sensory information to the brain given by Jesus to evaluate JesusAnd then we used the mouth given by Jesus to reject Jesus.The world was made THROUGH him, yet the world did not know him. It can’t get any more IRONIC and can’t any more TRAGIC.But this is not merely the summary of the response of men to Jesus’ ministry. This is the summary of men to God all through the Bible.I heard someone recently say that the Bible is basically a summary of man’s search for God. I laughed out loud when I heard that. You could not possibly do a worse job of describing the Bible than that. That one sentence undoes the entire Bible. Quite efficient.If you read the Scripture, you will see the Bible is one story piled on top of another story of God revealing himself to men and women who were not looking for him.God revealed himself through prophets. What did they do with them? They stoned them.Jonah’s running.Samson is womanizing.Saul is hiding.Gideon is cowering.Time and time again you have men and women trying to get away from God as far as they can. Are men searching? Well they are searching! They are searching, searching, searching for every possible way to get out of his presence.I have kept my hands out all day to a disobedient people.I have spoken to those who did not seek me.I have answered those who did call out to me.Jesus Christ is the climax of divine revelation. And the climactic revelation is attended with climactic rejection.The response to the REVELATION of Jesus Christ is not surprising. Most people rejected him. But others accepted him. Others received him.Look at verse 12ReceptionSome received him. Some accepted the claim. Some believed that Jesus was God.And he describes the result of that belief as those who become children of God. What’s the significance of becoming children of God. Why that metaphor? Here’s the idea.When a lady bug lays eggs and new life comes out. What kind of life is it? It’s ladybug life.A grasshopper gives birth to grasshopper life.A squirrel gives birth to squirrel life.The point is that whatever the parent life form… a moose, a salamander or a human, a parent can only give it’s offspring the same type of life that he himself has.And here we are told that by believing in God we are given the right to become children of God which means that we will be given the same kind of life as God. Remember the purpose of John. These things are written that you might believe and that by believing you might have LIFE in his name. You partake of the same type of life as the father because now you are his children.And what type of life is that? Eternal life. Perfect Life. That’s good stuff folks.Now if that is the case, why would anyone reject him? If all you have to do is believe in Jesus Christ to have PERFECT LIFE, why in the world would ANYONE reject him? Let’s think.What the Light RevealedWhat was it about the light that caused such violently different reactions? What was this piercing, dividing quality of light? What did the light reveal? There must have been something about that light or something about what it revealed that was either attractive or offensive. We see that in the next verse.Now this is helpful. Here we get our interpretive key to vs. 1. In the beginning was the Word. Who is the word? The word became flesh and dwelt among us. So the Word is Jesus Christ.Why not just say, “In the beginning was Jesus? And Jesus was with God and Jesus was God.” Why refer to Jesus as the WORD? Just as words reveal what is in the mind of a man, so Jesus Christ reveals what is in the mind of God. Jesus Christ reveals God. And this is the most complete, most full revelation that could ever be given.Perhaps you have heroes of the faith. It’s one thing to read about a man… You can read their biographies. That gives you some idea of who they are. But wouldn’t you love to live among them? Wouldn’t you love to see how they respond to stress? How do they balance all the important priorities. What do they do when they get tired? How do they play? What kinds of things are funny to them? What does righteous anger look like? How do they respond to criticism?This is whey Jesus coming to earth is so significant. It’s the ultimate REVELATION. Immanuel - God with us. God among us. It was God revealing in a way he had never done before.Jesus come in the flesh was like revelation on steroids. It’s why the life of Christ is such a powerful, never-ending insight into the person of God.The way John describes the experience of that REVELATIONis that we beheld his glory. Normally when we think of glory we tend to think in terms of splendor, light, perfection. That’s a glorious sunset. That’s a glorious melody.The Greek word for glory is δόξα which ACTUALLY comes from the Greek root dokéō which means to think.What the word really means in it’s most core essence is to think in such a way as to develop a high opinion. What do I think of something. If I think very HIGHLY of you, you have lots of glory. If I think very LOW of you then you have very little glory.And so when we say, that is a glorious sunset, we are of the opinion that the sunset has reached a level of perfection. This sunset has the perfect combination of colors, the perfect contrasting hues, the perfect crisp lines and muted blurred clouds.When I look at it my mind identifies it as perfection.Here’s the point. When the Jews of the NT saw Jesus, they saw perfection. They saw in him something they instantly identified as completeness, unstained, undefiled, beauty. They saw glory.The Attraction of PerfectionNow I think it’s interesting that of all the things to call out in a prologue high/level overview, this is the aspect you’d highlight. I mean the guy walked on water. The guy could raise people from the dead. The miraculous isn’t even called out. Yes, he did miracles. Yes, he had power. But that’s not what John primarily identifies as the thing that makes him glorious. What makes him glorious is the perfect embodiment of grace and truth. Think about this.Life is full of balancing acts isn’t it. And we never get that balance right.- We see it’s important to be critical but it’s also important to accept. How do you get that right?- We know it’s important to speak up but it’s also important to listen. - We know it’s important to stand your ground but it’s also important to back down.What we see in Jesus is perfection. We see glory. We look at the balance of how Jesus lived his life and we say, "Wow, that is glorious." We marvel. That’s perfect. It’s the perfect balancing act. It’s beauty in it’s perfect form. Consider a painting. To much black and the eyes don’t look good. Too much white and it’s washed out. There is a perfect balance. There is a mixture that is absolutely perfect. And that is what is being referenced here. We beheld Jesus, full of grace and truth.When the light came, it was perfect. It was so beautiful. White light is the combination of all the colors of the rainbow. We see in the white light of Jesus all good values contained and balanced perfectly. It’s so beautiful. You just gaze on it in wonder. The picture of perfect light.Look at how this perfect white light is further describedJohn begins his gospel with the stunning REVELATION of God in the person of Jesus Christ. God has ‘made himself known’ through the perfection of JESUS.The fact that Jesus was utterly glorious, utterly reflective of the glory of God can be demonstrated by this simple question, “How in the WORLD did Jesus get ANYONE to believe the CLAIM that he was God?”Think about the difficulty of this problem. It can be summarized with four words. Jesus was a man. If Jesus was talking to a Greek well maybe you could convince him. Because after all, the gods to the Greeks were just men blown big. To the Greeks, the gods were just kind of like Marvel characters. They were more or less men, but men with amazing athleticism, incredible intellect, strong reproductive prowess. And so you could conceive that if Jesus was especially talented in some area, he may be able to convince a Greek that he was a god.But Jesus was a Jew, and he was talking to Jews.Jews believed the OT which revealed that God was a Spirit who existed outside the world.He was the creator of the world.How could God be in the world?He couldn’t be a man because a man was created.By contrast, God was a being of infinite power who created everything by the word of his power. He just whispers and the dust of galaxies obediently fling into existence, 10^70th joules of power strong.For a man to say, “I am God…” To a Jew? This was heresy of the most laughable form. Indeed, many tried to stone him for it.And yet many believed. How did he do it?Now, we aren’t done setting up the difficulty of the problem. Here’s the most problematic part. Think about this. It’s not like he got people to believe in him who lived far away and were simply mesmerized by this romantic idea of God come down in the form of a man.He got people to believe in him who actually lived with him and ate with him and laughed and cried with him. It’s one thing to love a comedian on stage. You think, man he looks so natural, so warm, so welcoming, so likable. You think he’s likable? Talk to his wife. It’s another thing entirely, to live with the guy.Think about this. Jesus had been living with the disciples for 3 years in close quarters. Day in day out. Hungry, tired, opportunities to be irritable, opportunities to be grumpy.Before Jesus heads up to Jerusalem to be crucified, Jesus turns to Peter, and says, “Who do you say that I am?” Peter replies, you are the Christ the Son of the living God. Just think…what kind of life must Jesus have lived before them such that this was the answer that comes out of their lips? Can you imagine that? I know my wife and kids love me, but when I ask them that question, “Who do you say that I am?” I’m hearing different stuff.When the disciples looked at him, what did they see? They saw perfection. When they looked at him they saw a man who was GLORIOUS, brilliant was full of grace and truth. He hurt their eyes. Normally, the longer you live with someone the more normal they become. With Jesus it was opposite.The longer you lived with him, the more amazed you became.The more astonished you became.The more you get to know him the better he.He’s better than you expected. Why?Because you are beholding, not a great man, you are beholding God himself.You are staring right at God.Do you not think that would be an amazing experience?They saw in him perfection embodied.Remember I began by asking the question is it good to be merciful or merciless. What is the answer to the question? What does God reveal? Is it good to be merciful or merciless. The answer is Jesus. It’s the perfect combination.There are times when he overthrows the tables of the money changers.He shows no mercy.His eyes are fire.There is a whip in his hand.He is sharp, bitter, hard merciless.You brood of vipers.You white washed tombs.Justice.Other times when God shows absolute mercy.Go and sin no more.He washes the disciples feet.He’s dining with tax collectors and prostitutes.Here he is. Full of grace and full of truth. They saw in him virtues that had never been combined.You have here tenderness without any weakness,strength without any heavy-handedness,humility without any timidity,firm, unbending, unyielding convictions and yet utter approachabilitypassion without prejudice,power without insensitivity.Never a jarring note when you look at him. Never a false step. Never. What do you see here? You see the surprises of perfection.You want to know what the Jews saw that allowed them to rearrange their conception of Messiah. They saw God. The Word became flesh and dwelt among them. Full of GRACE and full of TRUTH. Perfection. The perfect combination.Who is this that the winds and the seas obey him?Never has a man spoke as this man spoke.Who is this?In the end, they had to come to this incredible conclusion. It must be GOD.The Problem with LightSo let’s come back to it. If you had perfect grace and truth, why would anyone reject him? If believing that he was God was the source of life why would anyone reject?Let me explain through analogy: Who wants to join me in a sun staring contest? The person who can stare at the sun longest without blinking wins. Who’s in? Why not? Because when you look at the sun, it hurts your eyes. I fact if you stare longer than just a couple seconds it would damage them. Whose fault is that? How foolish it would be to blame the sun. The problem is not the sun. The problem is my eyes. My weakness cannot take it in. I need the sun.But if our eyes were adjusted to see what’s really there we would see something like this:It is by the sun that you can see all things.It is because of the sun that all things live and exist and have their being.What we need is not to get rid of the sun. What we need is increased capacity to take it in. And when you suddenly filter it out so you aren’t so overwhelmed you begin to see the layers and layers of beauty.“We beheld his glory, full of grace and truth.”The Problem with the Son.So the light came and revealed perfection but we were not capable of taking it in. It hurt our eyes. Yes, we were mesmerized by it, but it hurt us.But here’s another thing about light. Because of it’s nature. Yes it, in and of itself, is beautiful. But the nature of light is that it reveals. It illuminates things around it.And what it illuminated was not pretty. You see the glory of Jesus reveals that we are not glorious. The glory of God shames. We are simultaneous attracted and repulsed. We are attracted to beauty and perfection but we are repulsed by what that beauty and perfection says about our sinful condition.And we want it to go away. We want to remove the revealing light. It was just better not knowing.A few years ago we painted our house white. My wife is a color fanatic. So she spent approximately 7300 hours picking out the particular white that she wanted. And we painted it white. And she just loved it. It was perfect, until it snowed. And then when the snow fell, the snow looked so beautiful, so clean, so fresh and our house just looked dirty and grimy. All the imperfections were so obvious.People thought they were patient until they saw perfect patience. Then suddenly their best patience looked like violence.People thought they were loving until they saw true love.People thought they were compassionate and tender till they saw it in its perfect form.We didn’t know the first thing about it. Never did a man speak like this. When we see the glory of God we are compared and found inadequate. That is the precise reason why some want nothing to do with the light.A couple years ago I watched a documentary called No Place On Earth that re-enacted the story of 36 Jews who hid in a Ukrainian cave for over 420 days to escape the Nazis. Can you imagine this? The men would leave the cave to get food and supplies but the women and children stayed there the entire time. What would it be like to live in a cave for over a year without seeing the sun. There was a period of time in which they went a month without light because they were out of candles and they were fearful of being detected. Night after night after night after night of darkness. There’s no information about your surroundings.Now for the adults it was much harder than for the children. Parts of the movie was from the perspective of this little four year old girl who survived the experience. She entered when she was 3 and she had forgotten that there ever was such a thing as the sun. The darkness was her home. Most people her age would have felt scared in the dark but she felt safe. The Nazis were in the light so she felt safe in the darkness.When she finally exited the light scared her. She was disoriented and confused. The light of the sun was so bright and so overpowering and it revealed so much of the world it just overloaded her senses and she wanted to go back into the dark.She had a conception of the world that was framed in by her darkness. She didn’t feel like she was in the dark. She felt like she understood reality. Darkness was all she had ever known. As soon as the light of the sun entered her world, everything was turned upside down.What this illustrates is that there are unique problems with people who are born in darkness. People who are born in darkness don’t know what they are missing. And interestingly, the Bible says we are all born in spiritual darkness. And when the light comes initially the response is fear and terror. The father of light sends his Son and his glorious brilliance lights up your soul and it terrifies you to see how you’ve been living. Can you imagine how much filth would be in a cave that held 36 people and had not been cleaned for 420 days? Most of that filth would not be visible because there was so little light. But imagine how horrified you’d be if you threw a few thousand lumins into the mix.It’s a metaphor for our hearts. The Son of God comes and he throws light on invisible corners of the heart, places that have never seen the light of day and when that happens, you can’t even recognize your own heart. Your self conception was framed in darkness. And what the light reveals terrifies you.But it’s a necessary step. You have to remember, it’s the heat of the presence of God that removes the roaches. How can we face into the light if the light reveals so much of the ugliness of our soul. How can we bear it? Because we have grace upon grace in Jesus Christ. We have a friend in Jesus, the perfection of grace and truth, who will never leave us or forsake us. A friend who will take, the ugliness, take the reproach and shame of sin upon himself.This is who is revealed to us in the book of John. And I can’t wait to glory in Him! Are you excited?

Every year at the end of December and moving into January, it's always the same old story: Christmas and New Years! So, many among family and friends come together to celebrate and party hearty with good food, plenty of revelry, and generally just trying to tuck all of our negative human traits away so that we can all just try to have a great time. After all, it's the spirit and season of "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year?" Right? C'mon, be joyful and let's celebrate! Well, it depends if one believes in the December 25th Christmas story and the January 1st New Year. But if you find yourself not at all enjoying getting dragged through the surrounding celebrations and festivities, at work and/or among friends and family, all the while muttering the words, "Bah Humbug! Do we have to go through this again?," well then, you are part of a minority that simply would prefer to just run away and hide; but you know that you can't because most of the civilized world is surrounded by something that is much larger than any of us can even begin to imagine. It's a spiritual battle between Good and Evil in unseen realms and it is at its peak during Christmas and New Years. It's a global culture that defines multitudes of people and goes far beyond the characterizations of 'Ol Saint Nick, Christmas Trees, and an all-night New Year's Eve party. In this episode of Real Israel Talk Radio, Suzanne and I are going to take a close look into the global Christmas Tradition of the Christmas Tree and find out what it's really all about. Surely, it's not about a traditional 1900's winter solstice celebration on earth; not at all. Rather, it's all about an ancient 6,000 year old creation story rebellion involving a tree from the Garden of Eden called the "Tree of the Knowledge of Good BUT Evil;" from a realm that we cannot see with our human eyes. What is the take-away lesson for all of us? It is to learn that Yehovah loves his creation and the people of his creation. We will come to understand that all of this End-of-December-and-First-Day-of-January revelry is not for us to embrace but rather for us to connect with people so that we can testify to Yehovah's uncompromising love; to love the people, not their ways. It's not an easy task for anyone but if we try to see the hearts and minds of a lost world of people aimlessly wandering through an empty spiritual desert wilderness and we try to see them in the way the Almighty Eternal One Yehovah sees them, we have a good chance to learn to love people with Yehovah's Truth without loving their ways, despite their propensity for practices that are purely worldly festivals; celebrations that have their roots in all things pagan.

Greetings friends to this end of the year podcast! Before I share my own stories, I want to give you our last two Listener Stories for 2020, one from Tom and another from Tammy. I think Tammy’s story is especially interesting because the Coronavirus pandemic had a big impact on her. I think her story will resonate with many of you.  Hello, my name is Tammy.  I recently retired from being a principal and before that a school teacher, a job I had done and loved for over 30 years.  I had oodles of plans for what I was going to do, places I was going to go and things I was really looking forward to doing-  like working with children at our church this summer.  When COVID hit and closed down school as we knew it on March 13, 2020, my life really changed.  I didn’t get to say goodbye to my students, parents and staff, it just all ended that Friday in March.  I was really struggling with what to me felt like a major loss. (This is in no way to disrespect those that have had greater losses due to COVID.) I was talking to my husband explaining how I was feeling such an absence of being needed and like I was just wandering looking for what I was supposed to be doing with my life at this time.  My sweet husband said some very wise words to me.  He said, “Tammy, I believe God is just giving you this down time to recharge you and prepare you for what He has planned next for you to do for Him.  Take this time and use it to its best.”  While I knew he was right, I have to say I DON’T  do down time well.  When you work 60 hours a week for oodles of years and have people consistently needing things from you, to have that come to a screeching halt, really put me off kilter.   I was struggling trying to figure out what God wanted me to do.  Then one morning in my devotion time God put on my heart that I have been wanting to complete a read through the Bible in a year program for a long time.  Even though it was August, I thought, this doesn’t have to wait until January to be a New Year’s Resolution, it can be my New Life Resolution. What a blessing this decision has been!  I looked at all different types of programs.  I found Digging Deeper Daily and liked the explanation of how this program was laid out. I wanted to learn about the “threads that unify the message of the Old and New Testaments”. I also like the fact that there were brief devotional notes that I thought would help me see the connections clearer.   I started this journey on August 20th and upon hearing the first reading, I fell in love with this journey.  Phil’s voice was so calming and yet assured in what he was saying and reading.  The brief stories he shares of his work as a Bible translator make me feel like I have a new friend.  This adventure has helped me grow daily in my understanding of God’s word.   Being a Christian since a child, I had heard many stories from the bible, now I understand more deeply what was happening before, during and after those isolated events.  It has really helped make the Bible come to life for me.   Phil explains how he started this project as a gift to leave his grandchildren.  He wanted to read the entire bible to them.  I feel his love each morning as I listen to him read and explain the daily passage, its as if for those brief moments I have been adopted into his family.  This has not only been a way for me to learn more about the Bible, grow closer to God, but also to feel like I am being gathered into the fold each morning.   The brief explanations at the end of the readings are so helpful.  I always look forward to the prayer Phil delivers to close the devotional time.  Often, I will replay the prayer a time or two more.  At the end of “our time together” I try to conclude with a prayer for Phil and all those doing God’s work to bring His word to the nations that don’t have the Bible yet.  This reminder of what a gift the Bible is to us, that I often take for granted because I haven’t known a time without it, has made my daily time with God even more precious.   Early on in the program, Phil was reading to us from Matthew.  When He read Matthew 11:28 which says, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” I cried.  This to me reiterated what my husband told me.    I was in need of this passage.  When Phil read this verse, with such love in his voice, I felt as if it was God speaking it to me.  I needed rest, yet I wouldn’t let myself admit it.  Now, each morning I consider my time listening to Phil read God’s word as a time of rest, connection and recharging.   I can’t wait to find out what great adventure God has in store for me next, or where He needs me in this stage of life, what I do know though is that Phil Fields and Digging Deeper Daily will be on that amazing ride with me.   Thanks so much, Tammy, for your story! And with a sincere blush, I also say thanks for your kind words. I am so pleased— more than that— filled with joy, when people are able to look through the kind of one-way mirror that podcasting is, to become my friends and even adopted family.  Thanks to Tom giving me this next story. Tom is mainly a reader (not a regular podcast listener). The 3D YouVersion plan he has followed for 2020 is called Read To Me Daily. (Link given in the episode notes.) Tom is a long time friend, dating back to my music teaching days. There is one odd, totally unplanned, similarity between his story and Tammy’s. I think you will catch it. My name is Tom and I am a sixty-year-old Arkansan.  I have read through the Bible several times using different plans.  The last few times, using electronic media, such as Digging Deeper Daily, has aided me greatly through ease of access.  Reading the Bible entirely in one year gives one little time for Bible study, but I value the discipline of daily reading which stirs my thoughts and continually whets my appetite to, what else, dig deeper. I read through the Bible this year using the Amplified Bible, Classic Edition.  In the past I have used various translations and even some paraphrases and I may have been wiser to use the recommended New Living Translation or Good News Translation.  Instead, however, I wanted to use the AMPC this year to slow me down.  The many bracketed words and phrases in the AMPC which are used to further describe a translated word or passage, forced me to ponder over a word or passage and think about how an idea was being explained.  I did enjoy the New Living Translation as well as the Good News Translation versions referenced most often in the devotionals.  I found multiple translations of the same verses to be quite helpful. Most years when using a daily reading plan I plowed right past the devotional passages and read only the scripture.  This year I was determined to include reading the devotionals, again, to slow me down and to help me think about what I was reading.  I enjoyed reading the Digging Deeper Daily devotionals which often gave the translator’s perspective of a passage, citing examples of difficult passages to translate and including real-life examples of working with an indigenous people group to help them understand the Bible.  In addition to translation notes, I appreciated the occasional summaries from prior days, reminding me of an important passage, even to the point of repeating some passages over consecutive days for emphasis.  I also appreciated being prodded by the devotional to live up to its title to, here it is again, dig deeper into particular passages. I appreciated how the daily readings were divided up between Old and New Testaments, particularly saving Isaiah for the end of the calendar year with so many relevant passages for the advent season.  My favorite passage, personally, occurred late in the calendar year on September 21.  Matthew 11:28-30, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you.  Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” (NLT)  I am never more at peace than when I surrender to Christ’s yoke. Finally, while I spent the year in the daily reading plan rather than listening to the daily podcasts, I did enjoy utilizing the audio podcasts through the Old Testament genealogies.

Every year near the end of December, it's always the same old story: A Christmas celebration! So, many among family and friends come together to celebrate with good food, plenty of gift-giving, and generally try to put all their differences aside whilst everyone seeks to have a jolly good time. After all, it's the spirit and season of Christmas! C'mon, be joyful! Right? Well, it depends if one believes in the December 25th Christmas story.But if you find yourself not at all enjoying getting dragged through surrounding Christmas celebrations and festivities at work and among friends and family, all the while muttering the words, "Bah Humbug! well then, you are part of a rather tired minority that simply wants to just run away and hide; but you know that you can't because most of the civilized world is surrounded by something much larger than any of us can even begin to imagine. It's a global December culture that defines Catholicism and Christianity and goes far beyond the characterization of 'Ol Saint Nick.In this episode of Real Israel Talk Radio, Suzanne and I are going to take a close look into the global Christmas Tradition and find out what it's really all about. But more importantly, our goal is to learn to try to understand the people around us and to connect with them through Yehovah's uncompromising love. No, it's not an easy task for anyone but if we try to see the hearts and minds of a lost world of people aimlessly wandering through a spiritual desert wilderness and we try to see them in the way the Almighty Eternal One Yehovah sees them, we can learn love people with Yehovah's Truth despite their love and practices for worldly festivals that have their roots in all things pagan. This is Real Israel Talk Radio Part 2 of 3 Parts, Episode 52 - AR201226.Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/biz/fund?id=23WBKCMBHKDT8/Ancient Roads: Real Israel Talk Radio)

Vivian Greven’s painting is based on an adept play with various notions of bodies, being and representation, with concepts of classical antiquity merging with pop art and digital image worlds. Vivian Greven’s painting is characteristic of our present times, which are shaped by the internet and social media and thus dissolve the hierarchies between original, reproduction and simulation. The art historical and contemporary historical nestling corresponds with Greven’s painterly treatment of surfaces. Parts of her painting rise as actual reliefs that encounter sprayed or painted fictions of bodies and space. The aesthetic of her pictures vacillates between the vocabulary of physical painting and the ethereal illusion of LCD windows.Learn more about her work http://www.viviangreven.de/

(Insight Santa Cruz) We are happy to announce a special opportunity to practice the 32 Parts of the Body meditation, which is rarely taught in the West. This practice deepens insight into impermanence and non-self by penetrating into the true nature and wonders of the body. We will also explore how the body interrelates with the four primary elements of earth (solidity), air (motion), fire (temperature), and water (liquidity). This methodical practice of the 32 Parts of the Body Meditation can build immense levels of concentration, potentialities for healing, and experience the taste of deep freedom and peace. This is the 15th year of offering this class at Insight Santa Cruz and it has been truly wonderful. People have frequently reported developing a whole new relationship to their bodies with greater wisdom and compassion. We will also be hopefully doing a tour of the Cabrillo Anatomy lab to get a deeper experience of the body.

True Grit with Craig Kautsch

How do you weather the storm? When things move up and down and are volatile what steps do you take to recover? How do you pivot? How do you thrive? My next guest is Andrew Sage, founder of Broad Wing Aviation. A local company that buys and sells airplane parts all over the world. Broadwing Aviation was formed in 2002 and produces around 40mm in annual revenue and employs 34 people. But recently due to the covid mess has reduced his staff to 16 which we will cover a bit later. Broadwing Aviation creates greater efficiencies in aftermarket parts procurement by serving as an extension of the customers’ supply chains and purchasing departments.The founders of Broadwing Aviation have no shortage of shared experiences in the commercial and military aerospace markets. Andrew met his partners Mark Anderson and Michael Mills at a new start-up aftermarket parts company in the late 1990s. It is here they developed and refined the individual skills that would lead them to the genesis of Broadwing Aviation.It didn’t take long for them to notice a trend: Parts supply companies operated by telling customers what they need instead of listening to customers’ needs. The result was a gradual decline in the level of customer service. This was not acceptable. They knew they could establish and grow a company providing a far superior customer experience….and so Broadwing Aviation was born!Andrew has two kids and has been married to his wife Amy for almost 25 years!Enjoy this broad-ranging conversation with founder Andrew Sage!Useful Links and Book Mentions:Broadwing AviationShōgun by James Clavell
