Podcast appearances and mentions of scott hubbard

Scott Hubbard | When you imagine a submissive wife, what kind of woman comes to mind? Is your picture embarrassing — or is it beautiful?

Scott Hubbard | However long you've been praying for some deep, God-honoring desire, don't lose heart. Keep asking, seeking, and knocking. Keep praying for a breakthrough.

The United States and China recently dispatched rovers to Mars, while the United Arab Emirates sent an orbiter to the red planet, where it is hoped humans one day will tread.美国和中国最近向火星发射了探测器，同时阿联酋航空公司也向这颗红色星球发射了一颗人造卫星，希望有一天人类会踏上这片土地。For man and machine alike, experts say landing on Mars is the hardest part of the trip.专家表示，对于人和机器来说，登陆火星是旅程中最困难的部分。The period from hitting the atmosphere to getting to the surface has been characterized depending on the mission as either the six minutes of terror or the seven minutes of terror.从进入大气层到抵达表面的这段时间，根据不同的任务，被描述为“恐怖六分钟”或“恐怖七分钟”。Mars has a thinner atmosphere than earth which complicates setting down safely on the surface.火星的大气层比地球稀薄，这使得在火星表面安全降落变得困难。Stanford University professor Scott Hubbard says, those six or seven minutes it takes to go from more than 19,000 kilometers per hour to zero are the riskiest.斯坦福大学教授斯科特·哈伯德(Scott Hubbard)说，从每小时超过19000公里的速度降到零所需的六七分钟是最危险的。In terms of where the risk factors are where you could lose this mission, that is an area that is of all the risk factors the one that you look at the most closely, because it's the one that has failed missions in the past.就可能导致任务失败的风险因素而言，这是你最需要密切关注的一个方面，因为过去失败的任务都与此有关。The casualty rate for Mars missions tops 50 percent. The US so far has successfully put a craft on the Martian surface, beginning with the Twin Vikings in 1976.火星任务的伤亡率高达50%。到目前为止，美国至今已成功将航天器送上火星表面，最早可追溯到1976年发射的“海盗号”双子探测器。NASA chose the red planet's Jezero crater over 60 other potential landing sites for its Perseverance rover. Dr. Bethany Ehlmann explains why.美国宇航局选择了火星的杰泽罗陨石坑作为其“毅力号”探测器的着陆点。Bethany Ehlmann博士解释了其中的原因。This is a great place to explore ancient habitats, the great place to look for life.这是探索古代栖息地的绝佳地点，也是寻找生命的理想之地。And as added bonus, just outside the rim of Jezreo crater are some of the oldest best exposed rocks on Mars from a time period even one billion years earlier.另外的惊喜是，杰泽罗陨石坑边缘之外，有一些火星上最古老、暴露得最完好的岩石，其形成时间甚至比现在还要早10亿年。The craft should reach Mars in February, along with the Chinese and UA emissions after seven months in transit over 480 million kilometers.该飞船将于明年2月抵达火星，连同中国和阿联酋发射的一起，要经过7个月的时间，跨越4.8亿公里。In spring 2021 French astronaut Thomas Pesquet become the first European to ride a SpaceX capsule to what will be his second stay aboard the international space station.2021年春天，法国宇航员托马斯·佩斯凯成为首位乘坐SpaceX太空舱的欧洲人，这将是他在国际空间站的第二次逗留。People from all over the world, different countries have put together the resources for peaceful purposes, for science, for research, for progress.来自世界各地、不同国家的人们为了和平的目的、为了科学、为了研究、为了进步而汇聚资源。And it's been going on for 20 years and it's an amazing success.它已经持续了20年，取得了惊人的成功。Finally this week Virgin Galactic unveiled the cabin of its spaceship II commercial craft.本周维珍银河公司终于揭开了其太空船二号商业飞行器的舱内设计。It has 12 windows, Virgin says, they designed the cabin for an out-of-seat weightlessness experience. The company says final tests are ongoing.维珍银河公司表示，该舱体设有12扇舷窗，专为乘客离座体验失重状态而设计。公司称最终测试目前仍在进行中。

Scott Hubbard | Jesus calls all of us to follow him, but he leads each of us down a peculiar path. Only by following Christ, not the crowd, can you become all he made you to be.

Scott Hubbard explains the liberating power of self-forgetfulness. Drawing on insights from C.S. Lewis, Tim Keller, and John Piper, Hubbard presents self-forgetfulness as the pathway to freedom and deep wonder. The healthiest Christians live free from constant self-comparison and internal analysis. Instead of obsessing over psychological categories or how they rank against others, they simply forget about themselves and live fully. Practice self-forgetfulness by redirecting your thoughts away from self-assessment toward others and toward God. Topics: Humility, Self-forgetfulness, Joy, Freedom, Wonder

Scott Hubbard | The self-gratifying life the world considers blessed often tugs at our hearts. But Jesus snaps us back to reality with one chilling word: “Woe.”

Scott Hubbard | In the household of God, the fight against sin is never single combat. Help protect your brothers and sisters with the weapon of exhortation.

Scott Hubbard | The name Wonderful Counselor not only calls to mind Christ's many wonders. It also puts our hearts at ease when we wonder what he's doing.

Scott Hubbard | All Christians want to look to Jesus, to see him and savor him. But how does this beautiful idea become a practical means of daily strength and joy?

How healthy is your soul? Scott Hubbard of Desiring God will challenge us to examine six areas of our lives. How can looking at our heart, our habits, our hope, our enemies, our friends, and our neighbors help us to assess our growth?

Scott Hubbard | God gives each of his children gifts to steward for his glory. So, don't let ungodliness, false humility, or impatience cause you to neglect yours.

Scott Hubbard | When we are neck-deep in spiritual darkness, joy in God can feel like a beautiful dream we once had. But even groaning after God is better than letting go of him.

Scott Hubbard | Disciple-making seemed more manageable before marriage, kids, and a full-time job. How can we still obey Jesus's call in a life with little room?

I would like to ask you a simple question: What are you reading? You may have heard the phrase, “Leaders are readers.” Is that true? Is that the best use of your time? If this phrase is true, how do we know what to read? Check out the video version of this episode.  Here are some related blog posts I would suggest you peruse: My favorite Book Leaders are readers Read more, read better The post from Scott Hubbard that I mentioned is called “What Should I Read Next?” If you are a pastor or ministry leader, I would humbly suggest that my books might be a good addition to your reading list: Shepherd Leadership: The Metrics That Really Matter When Sheep Bite: Help For Shepherd Leaders Who May Have Felt The Painful Bites ►► Would you please prayerfully consider supporting this ministry?

Scott Hubbard | Why do Christians read? Perhaps the best answer is love. We read to love God, to love others, and to see and savor loveliness.

Scott Hubbard | On any given Sunday, God can change a life forever. So, lift your voice with confidence, pastor, and do not grow weary in doing good.

Scott Hubbard | When you face temptation, do you ever remind yourself that you have a soul — a soul immortal yet perishable, a soul only Christ can satisfy?

Scott Hubbard | God not only gives us good, richly and continually, and he not only works our good, always and in everything, but he is himself our greatest good, now and forever.

Scott Hubbard | When a woman poured out a year's worth of perfume upon Jesus, some saw loss, but he saw love. Some called it waste, but he called it worship.

Scott Hubbard | Men may lead the corporate gathering on Sunday morning, but without the every-day ministry of both men and women, our churches wither.

Scott Hubbard | Sometimes, the solution to our spiritual struggles is less spiritual than we thought. God's world, and not just his word, may hold the remedy we need.

Scott Hubbard | In a world of urgent needs, urgent demands, and urgent responsibilities, one priority is more urgent than them all: prayer.

Scott Hubbard | Unless we keep our hearts with all vigilance, they won't be kept. So, on the cusp of a new year, how warm is your heart toward Jesus?

A brother in Christ’s carelessness keeps replaying in your mind. A sister’s comment turns a sunny day dark and leaves you distracted and distressed. Try to throw the memory away from you, and it comes back like a boomerang.The apostle Paul tells us what to do when such offenses come: “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another (Ephesians 4:32)." Without regular forgiveness, the love of a local church dies. Eventually, the church dies too. But how do we move from offense to forgiveness, especially when the moment keeps coming to mind? https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/when-offenses-come Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshow/wkesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Scott Hubbard | From Eden to Advent, the world endured a long loneliness, exiled from God's presence. But Christ came to bring us home, to end our exile, to be God with us without end.

Scott Hubbard | The healthiest Christians forget about themselves often. So, if you find yourself too focused on yourself, consider six modest steps toward joyful self-forgetfulness.

Scott Hubbard | The offhand jab, the subtle snub, the thoughtless comment — within the body of Christ, offense is inevitable. How do we keep on overlooking and forgiving?

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“Imagine a society where no one had to work. Robots and artificial intelligence performed all essential jobs while advanced technologies provided unlimited clean energy, food, and consumer goods. Human beings were free to pursue their passions and spend time with loved ones instead of working. What would life look like in this futuristic work-free world? [...] For the first time in history, our jobs wouldn't dictate how we spend our days.”~Roy Lam, Data Scientist and Psychometrician, “What Life Would Look Like if Humans Didn't Have to Work Anymore” “The image of God was never meant to yawn through life. Yet those who are paying attention will also see something more in this tragi-comic sloth: themselves. We all have an inner sluggard, counseling us to sleep when we should rise, rest when we should work, eat when we should move.”~Scott Hubbard, pastor in Minneapolis, “The Sluggard in Me: Four Lies that Lead to Laziness” “The wise man knows that the sluggard is no freak, but, as often as not, an ordinary man who has made too many excuses, too many refusals, and too many postponements. It has all been as imperceptible, and as pleasant, as falling asleep.”~Derek Kidner, Bible Commentator and Old Testament Scholar, Proverbs “In short, work – and lots of it – is an indispensable component in a meaningful human life. It is a supreme gift from God and one of the main things that gives our lives purpose. But it must play its proper role, subservient to God. It must regularly give way not just to work stoppage for bodily repair but also in joyful reception of the world and of ordinary life…. When we think, ‘I hate work!' we should remember that, despite the fact that work can be a particularly potent reminder (and even amplifier) of the curse of sin on all things, it is not itself a curse. We were built for it and freed by it. But when we feel that our lives are completely absorbed by work, remember that we must honor work's limits. There is no better starting point for a meaningful work life than a firm grasp of this balanced work and rest theology.”~Tim Keller (1950-2023), pastor in New York, Every Good EndeavorSERMON PASSAGEProverbs 6:6-11, 12:11, 21:5, 25-26 (ESV)Proverbs 66 Go to the ant, O sluggard;  consider her ways, and be wise.7 Without having any chief,  officer, or ruler,8 she prepares her bread in summer  and gathers her food in harvest.9 How long will you lie there, O sluggard?   When will you arise from your sleep?10 A little sleep, a little slumber,   a little folding of the hands to rest,11 and poverty will come upon you like a robber,   and want like an armed man. Proverbs 1211 Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread,   but he who follows worthless pursuits lacks sense. Proverbs 215 The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance,  but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty…25 The desire of the sluggard kills him,   for his hands refuse to labor.26 All day long he craves and craves,   but the righteous gives and does not hold back. Exodus 20 8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.Ephesians 2 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.  John 5 3 In these lay a multitude of invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed. 5 One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” 7 The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me.” 8 Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” 9 And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked. Now that day was the Sabbath. 10 So the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to take up your bed.” 11 But he answered them, “The man who healed me, that man said to me, ‘Take up your bed, and walk.'” 12 They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk'?” 13 Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place. 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you.” 15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him. 16 And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”

Scott Hubbard | What if the worst happens? In Romans 8, the apostle Paul takes us to our darkest fears and inscribes above them all, “More than conquerors through him who loved us.”

Scott Hubbard | Our Lord calls us to look within. Yet alongside healthy introspection are a dozen dangers — paths that will yield not more self-knowledge but rather more anxiety and fear.

Scott Hubbard | Christians are sojourners and exiles in this world — strangers. And to live up to that name, we need a community to help us stay faithfully strange.

Scott Hubbard | Godly introspection is a road, not a room, that ever takes us to the same glorious place: Jesus. And some of the best sights of Christ come at the end of that road.

Scott Hubbard | How can we confess our sins in a way that pleases God? Heed God's fatherly hand, honestly name your sins, embrace God's free forgiveness, and walk away glad in him.

Scott Hubbard | Are you a world Christian serving a worldwide Lord? Jesus sends us outside of ourselves, our families, and our comforts to care about the nations he came to save.

Scott Hubbard | How can the present holiness of Christians bring God pleasure? Because true holiness, however imperfect, beats sin with God's own pleasure in himself.

Scott Hubbard | Children need to see a dad ambitious to spread God's kingdom in the world. But with equal surety, children need to see a dad ambitious about being dad.

Scott Hubbard | Many imagine the more options, the more happiness. But from the beginning, it was not so. God made us to find freedom in loyalty, blessing in being bound.

Scott Hubbard | If you want to assess the health of your faith, don't simply consider your acts of religious worship. Consider the depth of your love for neighbors.

Scott Hubbard | If we could imagine the coming glory of the Christians we know, we might find the grace we need today to remain patient with their slow growth.

Scott Hubbard | Among the various ways we can describe a husband's calling, one may help to capture our focus, and give us a lifetime of work: bring out your wife's best.

Scott Hubbard | Self-examination can leave us feeling lost in the mirror of me. But done rightly, self-examination can lead to health, freedom, and self-forgetful joy in Christ.

Scott Hubbard | In spiritual war, Christians do not simply hold fast or stand firm — we advance and march with our King, boldly sharing Christ with a lost world.

Scott Hubbard | If God really is as sovereign as the Bible says, how should we live? His sovereignty invites us to pray more boldly, take greater risks, and draw even closer to heaven.

Scott Hubbard | On the first Easter, Jesus surprised our sorrow with joy, our guilt with forgiveness, our confusion with clarity. And so he still surprises today.

Scott Hubbard | Follow Christ long enough, and you'll find yourself in some spiritual valley, in desperate need of renewal. When you do, follow the map God has drawn for us: Remember. Return. Remove. Restore.

Scott Hubbard | Before you are called to pastor Christ's church, practice serving her, loving her, edifying her. Let your favorite word while you wait be “progress.”

Scott Hubbard | When Paul mentioned hell, he warned not only the lost, but believers. Why might that be, and should we be warning one another in the church today?

Scott Hubbard | Many of us try to make the best parts of this life last forever. But God made our best seasons short to prepare us for a better season that will never end.

Scott Hubbard | Men of the world may chase physical beauty no matter where it leads — to bed, to idols, to ruin. But beauty without discretion is a gold ring in a pig's snout.

Scott Hubbard | If the apostle Paul joined our prayer circles, we might be surprised how different his prayers seem. We often focus on circumstances, but he takes aim at the heart.
