"Beholding is a countercultural act—it requires us to stop, to receive, and to fully see.” — Makoto Fujimura"Slow art is an invitation to linger, to notice, and to let the world unfold before us." — Makoto FujimuraYou are a beautiful masterpiece. But the practice of living artfully comes slowly, often through brokenness, weakness, or failure. Contemporary artist Makoto Fujimura integrates traditional Japanese styles with abstract expressionism and Christian theology, to explore the beauty that can emerge from the ashes pain and suffering. Both his art and his writing call us to behold the gift of creation, participate in its redemption, accentuating the cracks and fractures in our lives, so that grace might abound.Makoto Fujimura—renowned artist, writer, and theologian—joins Dr. Pam King to explore the deep connections between art, faith, and flourishing. Fujimura shares how his Japanese heritage and study of traditional Nihonga painting have shaped his understanding of creativity as a sacred act. Through themes of brokenness, beauty, and slow art, he challenges us to rethink success, embrace imperfection, and create from a place of love and abundance. Whether you're an artist, a person of faith, or someone seeking meaning in a hurried world, this conversation will invite you to slow down, behold, and embrace the mystery and beauty of life.Mako Fujimura integrates his artmaking, theology, and culture care advocacy into a beautiful expression of thriving and spiritual health. Through his breathtaking expressionist style, distinctively Japanese methods, and his rooted Christian convictions, he's bringing beauty into being, and inviting us to do the same.In this conversation with Mako Fujimura, we discuss:What art is, what creativity means, and the human capacity for making beautyHow we can live artfully through imperfection, brokenness, trauma, and sufferingHow the practice of a gift economy can lead to mutual thrivingThe slow art of pausing, stopping, and beholding that contributes to our mental and spiritual healthAnd the connection between knowledge and love in a life of creativity and artmaking.Helpful Links and ResourcesFollow Makoto Fujimura on X @iamfujimuraView Mako's art at makotofujimura.comMakoto Fujimura's WritingsMakoto Fujimura's BooksNihonga Art and its TraditionsRefractions: A Journey of Art, Faith, & CultureCulture Care: Reconnecting with Beauty for Our Common LifeSilence and Beauty: Hidden Faith Born of SufferingArt and Faith: A Theology of MakingEpisode Highlights"Art is fundamentally what human beings create—it is our capacity to make, and in making, we come to know.""Beholding is a countercultural act—it requires us to stop, to receive, and to fully see.”"We worship a wounded, glorified human being—our brokenness is not something to escape but something to offer.""Creativity is not about self-expression alone—it is about giving yourself away in love.""Slow art is an invitation to linger, to notice, and to let the world unfold before us."Show NotesMakoto Fujimura discusses the intersection of art, faith, and flourishingThe importance of beholding in a fast-paced worldHow brokenness and imperfection reveal deeper beautyNihonga painting and the wisdom of traditional Japanese artCreativity as an act of love and gift-givingThe Art of BeholdingWhy slowing down is essential for creativity and spiritual growthThe practice of beholding as a way of seeing the world more deeplyHow art invites us to be present and pay attentionThe connection between contemplation, creativity, and flourishing"Beholding is a countercultural act—it requires us to stop, to receive, and to fully see."Creativity, Faith, and Human FlourishingHow art and faith are intertwined in human thrivingThe spiritual discipline of making and creatingWhy true knowledge is connected to love and experience"Art is fundamentally what human beings create—it is our capacity to make, and in making, we come to know."How community fosters creativity and growthBrokenness, Beauty, and the Theology of MakingThe Japanese tradition of Kintsugi and embracing imperfectionHow Jesus' wounds and resurrection shape our view of brokennessThe gift economy vs. the transactional economy in art"We worship a wounded, glorified human being—our brokenness is not something to escape but something to offer."Learning to see beauty in what is discarded or overlookedThe Practice of Slow ArtWhy slowing down is essential for deep engagement with artHow layers in Nihonga painting reveal new depths over time"Slow art is an invitation to linger, to notice, and to let the world unfold before us."How slowing down fosters healing and deeper connectionThe role of patience and attentiveness in both art and lifeLiving a Creative and Generous LifeHow to cultivate creativity in daily life, even outside traditional artsThe role of community in sustaining creative workWhy generosity and self-giving are essential to true creativity"Creativity is not about self-expression alone—it is about giving yourself away in love."Practical steps for integrating creativity into everyday livingPam King's Key TakeawaysWhether you think of yourself as artist, we're all creative. Mako's message is intentionally not just for artists, but is an invitation for all of us to live artfully—no matter what we do for a living.Because creativity comes in so many different ways, from leadership, to scientific research, to parenting, to cooking, we all have the daily creative capacity to add beauty to the world.And to that end, remember your first love, the playfulness and creativity of giving beauty to the worldA gift economy of beauty offers a radical resistance to consumerism, competition, and comparison.Art and the making of beauty is a part of thriving. And the invitation to live artfully starts with a daily practice of slowing down: pause, stop, and behold. Smell the roses. Consider the lilies.And finally, there's a path to beauty through brokenness. Grace comes to us through failure. And strength is made perfect in weakness.And finally, though the wind may be blowing through our lives, may we all learn to behold the moonlight leaking between the roof planks.About Makoto FujimuraContemporary artist Makoto Fujimura is a painter, an author, a speaker, and an imaginative maker with a gift for theological integration.Mako's message is intentionally not just for artists, because creativity comes in so many different ways, from leadership, to scientific research, to parenting, to cooking, we all have the daily creative capacity to add beauty to the world. Working out of his Princeton, New Jersey studio, his work has been described by David Brooks as “a small rebellion against the quickening of time.” Art critic Robert Kushner placed Mako's art at the forefront of a contemporary movement about “hope, healing, redemption, and refuge, while maintaining visual sophistication and intellectual integrity.”A blend of fine art and abstract expressionism, Mako describes his work as “slow art,” being influenced directly by the distinctively Japanese Nihonga style, which is patient and methodical, using slow drying pigments from ground minerals.Mako's art has been featured in galleries and museums around the world, as well as notable collections in The Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, The Huntington Library in California, and the Tikotin Museum in Israel.From 2012 to 2017, he served as vision director of the Brehm Center here at Fuller Theological Seminary.Mako is the author of several books, including Refractions: A Journey of Art, Faith, & Culture, Culture Care: Reconnecting with Beauty for Our Common Life, and Silence and Beauty: Hidden Faith Born of Suffering. His most recent is entitled Art and Faith: A Theology of Making. And his next book will be available soon—titled, Art Is: A Journey into the Light. And with his wife Haejin, he's producing a new work on Beauty and Justice.Follow him on X @iamfujimura, and view his beautiful work at makotofujimura.com.

Series: Chaos to CovenantTitle: “Why did God rest on Day 7?"Scripture: Genesis 2:1-3 NIVHebrews 3:7-4:11Exodus 20:8-11Phil 2:12-13Romans 8:28Bottom line: God rested on day 7 to establish for us a rhythm and posture of rest that comes by grace through faith in Christ alone.INTRODUCTIONCONTEXTSERMON OUTLINECONCLUSIONNOTESQUESTIONS TO CONSIDER OUTLINESDISCUSSION QUESTIONSMAIN REFERENCES USEDINTRODUCTIONWhy did God rest on day 7?I may not know why but I do know this: He didn't rest because he was tired. God is omnipotent or all powerful. He never needs to sleep or rest. He has infinite energy and power. He has no needs including rest.Graham's newsletterWhen I was very young, I thought I was adopted. I was very insecure at that age and jealous of my younger brother's attention from parents and strangers. He had red hair with a freckles and was "so cute" (unlike the skinny kid with glasses and buck teeth). I was convinced I looked nothing like my parents (which was true at the time).But, I was definitely treated like a son. I was treated as a member of the family like everyone else. I had privileges and responsibilities. I got to eat and sleep in doors while doing my part with the chores.Ultimately, I got over my adoption fears because, even if I had been adopted, I was convinced that I was part of the family. You didn't have to convince me because I was dearly loved, protected and provided for. I was disciplined and educated. I was lavished with gifts and encouragement. I was blessed simply because I was a son in the family.Said another way, when I realized I was a son in the family, I never tried to earn that position or role. I was a son. I learned (eventually) to rest in who I was. A son of Roe and Ruth. Brother to Kent. A Gabriel through and through. In a word, I learned to REST in my identity.Just typing that out fills my eyes with tears of gratitude to God. Rest.Let's look at Genesis and ask ourselves 2 questions as we do:God, what are you saying to me today?God, what do you want me to do about what you're saying to me today?CONTEXTRemember our analogy comparing Genesis 1 and 2? Place-mat map Vs. Rand-McNalley AtlasSERMON I. Primeval history (1-11)--God and the worldA. God finished creating (forming and filling) the heavens and the earth. It was very good.B. God rested or ceased/stopped his creative work on day 7Not because he was tiredBecause he was finishedVery good--no evil, suffering, or deathComplete not lacking anythingTo give us an example of how to restThrough a rhythmThrough a postureC. God established the sabbath rest as law for the new nation of Israel. This established rest as a rhythm to be observed.D. God points to the ultimate sabbath rest by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.Hebrews 3:7-4:11 we see the connection to salvation by faith in Jesus Christ. This established rest as a posture. From Willmington:"3:7-19 "Don't let this happen to you." Though God led Israel out of Egypt, their constant rebellion caused him to swear that they "will never enter my place of rest," meaning that the generation that began the journey would not see Canaan (see exposition on Num. 14:10-38 and on Josh. 1:12-18).We should be careful, and remind each other daily, not to harden our hearts and miss God's eternal Sabbath rest (see exposition on 4:1-11).4:1-11 Enter his rest today! God's offer of rest began far before the days of Moses (4:4), and the offer is still good today (4:1, 9-11; see Matt. 11:28). We need only accept it through faith (4:2-3, 9-10). Even the rest achieved by those who entered Canaan under Joshua was only temporary, as seen by the psalmist's reference, years later, to God's rest as something yet to come (see 3:15; 4:3, 8; Ps. 95:6-11). The word rest occurs repeatedly throughout 3:11-4:11:Lack of faith kept Israel from God's rest (3:11, 18; 4:11).Lack of faith will keep Christians from God's rest (4:1).Faith will give us God's rest, which involves our "finding rest" from our "labors," by which we may have tried to earn salvation (4:9-10).II. Patriarchal history (12-50)--God and Abraham's familyCONCLUSIONGraham's newsletter (missionaries to East Asia we've been supporting for many years)"Prayer & Update for our family:In our last newsletter, I mentioned being in the clinical training portion of my counseling degree program. I have been working as a student/intern counselor in a clinical practice since January and will continue through August.In all sincerity, these past five months have probably been the busiest our family ever has been, with hardly any margin whatsoever.We knew this season was going to be a tough one. The clinical experience l am gaining has been incredible and invaluable. But it feels like every minute of every day is spoken for and allocated for a specific purpose. I'm behind in almost every area of life.Living this way has made me treasure the Sabbath each week. As best we can, we do a little straightening late Saturday afternoon to help give the house a sabbath rest. I give my computer a sabbath rest by shutting it down (all the way down) around dusk on Saturday. When I pray for the kids that evening we express thankfulness that we can rest and don't have to work or go to school on Sunday. We ourselves try to cease from the striving, performing, accomplishing (and hurrying) that characterize the other six days of the week.Some weeks have not been pretty, but we're making it one step forward at a time... and now that June is here, this harried season will come to a close in just a few more months. It doesn't mean we're out of the woods quite yet, but hopefully we'll be through the hardest part of the journey. All this hard work means l've been able to stay on track to graduate May 2025, less than a year away!"Bottom line: God rested on day 7 to establish for us rest as a rhythm and a posture. These both come when we trust and follow the Lord in all of life.Applications:Rest as a rhythm.Rest as a posture.Invitation““Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”” -Jesus in Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬-‭30‬ ‭NIV‬‬Bottom line: What is God saying to me right now?What am I going to do about it? Write this down on a sheet of paper. What I hear you saying, Lord, is ___________________.[my name] is going to believe/do __________________________________________________ as a result.Finally, share this with your Home or Mission group this week when you gather as a testimony about what God is doing in your life. You don't have to get too specific to give him praise.PrayNOTESFrom Wilmington's Bible Handbook:"What does 1:1 Say to those who interpret reality apart from a personal, infinite God?• To the atheist it says that Creation was the work of God.• To the polytheist it says there is only one God.• To the pantheist it says that God is apart from and independent of his creation.• To the evolutionist it says that the universe was created and did not evolve.• To the materialist it says that matter is not eternal but was itself created.• To the existentialist it says creation has a purpose." P. 4It's primeval history (universal world history) of the world (universe) made up of 5 stories with the same structure.

It continues to reveal the many graces of God based on the gracious promise God made to and through Abraham in Genesis 12:3."There's only one way fallen humanity can be saved--the Genesis way--by faith. There has never been another way." -HughesWho wrote Genesis? According the Old and New Testaments, Moses c. 15th century BC. Jesus confirms this, with the exception of Genesis. The religious leaders of Jesus' day credited Moses with writing it (Luke 20:28) and early Jewish writers viewed Moses as the author of all 5 books. During his years in the Egyptian royal family, Moses could have become a skilled writer and historian as the Egyptians were quite advanced and he'd have had access to top tutors. He was, after all, a prince of Egypt.Moses would have been an eye-witness and contemporary to all that happened and was recorded in Exodus-Deuteronomy. However, not so for Genesis. So how did he write this?God gave it all to him. Passed down orally.Passed down in writing. Any of these would make Moses an editor or compiler of ancient history from Adam to his day around after he led Israel out of Egypt in and through the wilderness enroute to the Promise Land.Abraham c. 2,000 BCEnd of Genesis c. 1,800 BCExodus c. 1,500 BC (1.440s) after 400 years in EgyptTruths to noteGod existed and exists eternallyGod exists in plural unity as the Holy TrinityGod was in the beginningGod was before anything existed in our universe and the universe itselfGod created everything that exists in the universe and the universe itselfGod creates something from nothing Latin ex nihiloAn atheist scientist came to God and said, “We've figured out how to make a man without you.” God said, “OK, let me see you do it.” So the atheist bent down to the ground and scooped up a handful. But God stopped him and said, “Oh, no you don't. Get your own dirt!”God creates with words. He spoke creation into existence. His words still have power.God creates purposefully for his glory and our good.God starts with light to display his creation and provide an essential ingredient for life.God only creates things that are good. Together it was all very good and will be again.God is a God of order and moves from chaos to order. Elohim (gods) intensifies God's divine majesty, when used as a noun. When used as a verb, it's singular for there is only one true God.God created all things. "Heavens and earth"God created an "open" universe, not a "closed" one where he never interactsNotes from Bible Project Videos1-11 God and the world12:3 Hinge verse12-50 God and Abraham's familyDisorder --> OrderAdam = humanHumanity created to:Reflect God's character (image)Represent God's rule (reign)Harness creation's potential and create beauty and order"Blessing" is a key word hereChoice: Tree of knowledge of good and evilTrust God's definition of good and evil, orSeize autonomy and define good and evil for themselves?Serpent (against God) tells a different story. He lies when he tells them that if they eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that they will be like God. Because they already are like God (made in his image).Heavens and earth aka skies and landFormless and empty aka wild and wasteDeep abyss = dark, chaotic oceanDays 1-3 God splits apart and forms this disordered waste into 3 ordered realms:Realm: Time. God splits darkness and light on Day 1.Realm: Sky & Seas. God splits the waters into water canopy or clouds (or both) and sea on Day 2.Realm: Land. God brings land out of water and includes vegetation on it on Day 3.Days 4-6 God Day 4 brings lights--sun, moon and stars to reflect his light in space.Day 5 brings creations to fill the sky and seaDay 6 brings land animals and humanity to fill the land. First poem in the Bible (1:27) celebrates God's creation where he completed the skies, land and inhabitants. God completes and rests and dwells in this sacred space he treats as a temple. The world or at least the garden of Eden is his temple.Notes from BethencourtOutline for Genesis 1-2:3Main idea: "God establishes his kingdom by speaking the universe into existence. He designs creation to reflect his glory and goodness as humanity takes leadership over it."Some of his introductory thoughts...Main character of Genesis and the Bible is God himself. It reveals his goodness and his glorious purpose and person.The goodness of God includes both the physical and the spiritual.Genesis demonstrates God's authority over creation. Genesis demonstrates God's creativity in creation too.Age of the earth approaches can be diverse without Christians breaking fellowship over. That said, 3 non-negotiables are central to Christian doctrine of creation:1- "Sound doctrine must recognize the VIRGIN BIRTH of creation, acknowledging that God creates ex nihilism. Before he speaks the universe into being, there is nothing in existence other than God."2- "Such a doctrine must affirm the VIRTUOUS BIRTH of creation, that is, the goodness of all creation before the fall. Genesis 1 repeatedly declares that what God makes is 'good.'"3- "Sound doctrine must affirm the VERIFIED 'BIRTH' of a historical, literal Adam. As Jesus affirms in the Gospels, there is one man, created by God, from whom the entire human race descends (see Acts 17:26 where Paul makes this statement to the Athenians)."Moses is the writer and editor while God is the author.Moses gives us a summary overview of how it all came to being. "Most 'creation' narratives from the ancient Near East assumed the universe itself had always existed." In fact, until relatively recently, our own scientists believed this until they discovered the "Big Bang" based on infrared light readings and such.Outline for Genesis 1-2:3 (Bethancourt)Main idea: "God establishes his kingdom by speaking the universe into existence. He designs creation to reflect his glory and goodness as humanity takes leadership over it."IV. God FINISHES the Created Kingdom (2:1-3)A. God finishes with his own rest.B. The climax of the creation story is rest.C. Creation is completed and lacks nothing. God accomplishes what he sets out to do.D. RestGod celebrates his completion of creation by resting in it, blessing it, and declaring it holy. It is his temple.After the Fall, Jesus rebuilds the temple through his death, burial and resurrection ultimately restoring all things in the new heavens and the new earth.Genesis 2 beings by declaring creation completed. In other words, God looks at his creation and says, "It is finished." Jesus echoes these words on the cross just before he dies.E. The Sabbath (though the word doesn't appear in Genesis 1 or 2) establishes a patternThe sabbath (meaning cease or stop) is CREATED as God rests on the 7th dayCORRUPTED by sin in our human rebellionCOMMANDED for Israel as part of the law to observe weeklyCONFIRMED in Jesus' life as he honors it as the Lord of the sabbathCOMPLETED in Jesus' resurrection as he, per Heb 4, becomes our sabbath restCONVERTED in the early church as Christians move it to Sunday as a nod to the resurrection and to distinguish themselves from JudaismCULMINATED in the new creation as we experience eternal sabbath rest in Jesus ChristSee D. J. A. Clines, Catholic Biblical Quarterly, No. 38 (1976), pp. 487, 488. Clines explains that Gerhard Von Rad initially observed a pattern of sin, mitigation, and punishment. Then Claus Westermann discerned another element, that of divine speech. Though he did not include it in the pattern, Clines does. Thus the following chart:I. II. III. IV.

My father was a schoolteacher, and summertime meant extended driving trips.We began at home in Chicago and drove to South Dakota and Mount Rushmore — across to Cheyenne- up to Yellowstone - down through the Rockies — and into Silverton, where we would camp for an extended time.In the months leading up to those trips, Dad would always post a large map of the United States on our refrigerator door.This map contained the grand view of the entire journey. For on it, with indelible ink, Dad would trace our path. However, he never traced it out all at once. You see, all seven of us kids would set aside money from our newspaper routes in an effort to help pay for the gasoline for the trip. So, as the funds for gas accumulated, the indelible ink indicating how far we could go extended across the map. It was always a great day when the ink made its way back to the beginning, because we knew then that we had collected enough money to pay for the entire trip.A funny thing, though: We never brought this map on the trip. The "grand view map" was too general. For the actual trip we needed a more detailed map, so we took along our Rand McNally Road Atlas, complete with all fifty states! I loved that map because it contained inset maps of large cities and all kinds of information the refrigerator map didn't have.The creation account in Genesis 1, like the map on my family's refrigerator, is the grand view in which mankind is seen as the pinnacle, but only within the context of all of creation.Chapter 2, on the other hand, is like one page of the Rand McNally map, which shows in full detail what the pinnacle (mankind) is really like.In one breath, chapter 1 spoke of the creation of man in the image of God as male and female. Now, however, beginning in2:4, the writer focuses our attention specifically on humankind.He wants us to camp here for an extended time.This is exciting, because chapter 2 deals directly with one of life's big questions: "Who are we, really?"" -David Helms, pp. 49-50Imagine you are a cartoon. You live in a 2D world--height and width. Let's say you can think like you do now. You have the same questions about life and eternity. You live in a animated world that is real. Eventually, you realize that there's order in your cartoon world. You see clues in the consistency of things, the order of things, the purposefulness of things and the beauty of things. This leads to more questions. Eventually, the cartoonist begins to reveal more to you through other characters. And at some point you realize that there is a creator of the cartoon world in which you live. In fact, the great cartoonist exists and created you on purpose for a purpose. If you found yourself in this situation, how would you respond? How would you feel about the great cartoonist? Would you be grateful that he created you when he didn't to? Or would you complain about he color of your costume? Would you be in awe that there exists a being so powerful that at the stroke of a pen, he could create life? Or would you complain about the story plot of your life? My hope is that as we listen to God through His Story in Genesis, we will wrestle with these questions in 3D+. Because this is like the world in which we live. There's a creator and he is God. His name is Jesus and he created you on purpose for a purpose. My hope is that you will come to understand and believe this to the degree that it moves you to gratitude and worship. Not just when we sing a song but 24//7. That it will shape the way that you live and the choices that you make and the narratives you choose to believe and the people you hang out with. Let's look at Genesis and ask ourselves 2 questions as we do:God, what are you saying to me today?God, what do you want me to do about what you're saying to me today?CONTEXTGenesis (beginning) is a book of beginnings. It's primeval history (universal world history) of the world (universe) made up of 5 stories with the same structure. (1-11)The FallCainSons of God marrying daughters of manThe FloodTower of BabelThey all follow this 4-fold pattern:Sin: the sin is describedSpeech: There is a speech by God announcing the penalty for the sinGrace: God brings grace to the situation to ease the misery due to sinPunishment: God punishes the sinPatriarchal history (12-50) or the history of Israel's founding fathers. It continues to reveal the many graces of God based on the gracious promise God made to and through Abraham in Genesis 12:3."Genesis is about grace." Sin, then grace. Sin, then grace.Grace is often times defined as an acronymGod's RichesAtChrist'sExpenseGrace is undeserved favor.Genesis is also about God's fidelity. God is faithful even when we're not. God keeps his promises even when the people the promises are for threaten the fulfillment of the promises."If we are faithless, he remains faithful--for he cannot deny himself." 2 Timothy 2:13People are wonderful and awful.The bulk of Genesis affirms our terrible sinfulness.Therefore, salvation had to come by faith (we certainly didn't deserve it or could earn it)Genesis 15:6 Moses writes, "Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness.""There's only one way fallen humanity can be saved--the Genesis way--by faith. There has never been another way." -HughesWho wrote Genesis? According the Old and New Testaments, Moses c. 15th century BC. Jesus confirms this.Kind of cool: Genesis 1:1 is 7 words. 1:2 is 14 words. And the chapter ends with 3 verses of 7 Hebrew words (21 words).SERMON I. Primeval history (1-11)--God and the worldA. God and the beginningBereshith Elohim Bara is the Hebrew for this phrase, "In the beginning God...""In the beginning" of our universe - Hebrew bereshith God was there in the beginning before time and space existed. The beginning of universal history.He has always existed. He never began or was born.He will always exist. He lives forever.Elohim = God or gods; not plural for number here but intensity i.e. Most God you can getGenesis, the OT, and the Bible are all about God, his creation and his glory.The Bible assumes God's existence. Never debates it. Says the fool believes there is no God in Proverbs.It's one thing to doubt or question whether he exists or notIt's another to ignore the many evidences of his existence and conclude he doesn't exist; too much evidence from natureB. God and the universe (1:1): "God created the heavens and the earth.""God created the heavens..."Heavens = skiesHeaven 1: as we think about itSpaceOur sky as we think about itEarth = land (they would have understood it as the ground)We see from the rest of the chapter that God spoke things into existence. God created out of love for us and his sonUs - we now existHim - he now has a bride (not that he needed one)God created from nothing - Hebrew bara; this reminds me of an old joke:An atheist scientist came to God and said, “We've figured out how to make a man without you.” God said, “OK, let me see you do it.” So the atheist bent down to the ground and scooped up a handful. But God stopped him and said, “Oh, no you don't. Get your own dirt!”Primary or absolute creation is from nothing (what only God can do)Secondary or relative creation is from something (what we can do)God or Elohim (gods in Hebrew) is plural as a literary device to intensify the word. This isn't just a god. This is the God of gods. God is the point of the Bible. God is pre-existent. He existed before our universe did because he's eternal and uncreated. Before time and space, there was God.God is powerful. He created out of nothing.God is personal. He personally spoke creation into existence. He personally walked in the garden with Adam.C. God and the earth (1:2): "Now the earth (land) was formless (wild) and empty (waste), darkness was over the surface of the deep (abyss = chaotic darkness), and the Spirit of God (Holy Spirit) was hovering (overshadowing) over the waters."The world starts out as a dark, chaotic, wild wasteland without form. God will form it, frame it, fill it and then finish it. Here he begins to form it through his Spirit. The triune God is at work here.Have you ever been at sea, miles out, at night? Maybe on a cruise ship or a deep sea fishing trip so far out that you can't see any lights or land? It's creepy and a little scary. God creates/works as a triune GodFather--Genesis 1:1; 26Son--John 1:1-2; Gen 1:26Holy Spirit--Genesis 1:2; 26The Spirit working chaos to order is seen when the Holy Spirit "overshadows" Mary making her pregnant with Jesus in the virgin birth (new creation). The Holy Spirit comes down like a dove onto Jesus at his baptism in the waters (symbolizing chaos and judgment). The Spirit raises Jesus from the dead, bringing him back to life. (Bethencourt) This is the first of many examples of the Holy Spirit doing this kind of work.II. Patriarchal history (12-50)--God and Abraham's familyCONCLUSIONBottom line: The universe begins with God speaking it into existence from nothing.God deserves our worship. Therefore, we should worship him with all our heart, mind, soul and strength. God creates out of love. Love creates and connects relationally.God wants us to worship him with our lips and our lives. (Hebrews 13:15-16)Invitation““Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭36‬-‭39‬ ‭NIV‬‬Bottom line: What is God saying to me right now?What am I going to do about it? Write this down on a sheet of paper. What I hear you saying, Lord, is ___________________.[my name] is going to believe/do __________________________________________________ as a result.Finally, share this with your Home or Mission group this week when you gather as a testimony about what God is doing in your life. You don't have to get too specific to give him praise.PrayNOTESTruths to noteGod existed and exists eternallyGod exists in plural unity as the Holy TrinityGod was in the beginningGod was before anything existed in our universe and the universe itselfGod created everything that exists in the universe and the universe itselfGod creates something from nothing Latin ex nihiloAn atheist scientist came to God and said, “We've figured out how to make a man without you.” God said, “OK, let me see you do it.” So the atheist bent down to the ground and scooped up a handful. But God stopped him and said, “Oh, no you don't. Get your own dirt!”God creates with words. He spoke creation into existence. His words still have power.God creates purposefully for his glory and our good.God starts with light to display his creation and provide an essential ingredient for life.God only creates things that are good. Together it was all very good and will be again.God is a God of order and moves from chaos to order. Elohim (gods) intensifies God's divine majesty, when used as a noun. When used as a verb, it's singular for there is only one true God.God created all things. "Heavens and earth"God created an "open" universe, not a "closed" one where he never interactsNotes from Bible Project Videos1-11 God and the world12:3 Hinge verse12-50 God and Abraham's familyDisorder --> OrderAdam = humanHumanity created to:Reflect God's character (image)Represent God's rule (reign)Harness creation's potential and create beauty and order"Blessing" is a key word hereChoice: Tree of knowledge of good and evilTrust God's definition of good and evil, orSeize autonomy and define good and evil for themselves?Serpent (against God) tells a different story. He lies when he tells them that if they eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that they will be like God. Because they already are like God (made in his image).Heavens and earth aka skies and landFormless and empty aka wild and wasteDeep abyss = dark, chaotic oceanDays 1-3 God splits apart and forms this disordered waste into 3 ordered realms:Realm: Time. God splits darkness and light on Day 1.Realm: Sky & Seas. God splits the waters into water canopy or clouds (or both) and sea on Day 2.Realm: Land. God brings land out of water and includes vegetation on it on Day 3.Days 4-6 God Day 4 brings lights--sun, moon and stars to reflect his light in space.Day 5 brings creations to fill the sky and seaDay 6 brings land animals and humanity to fill the land. First poem in the Bible (1:27) celebrates God's creation where he completed the skies, land and inhabitants. God completes and rests and dwells in this sacred space he treats as a temple. The world or at least the garden of Eden is his temple.Notes from Bethencourt

What sparks your imagination?What shuts down your capacity to imagine?Where does your mind go when the stakes are high, and the pressure feels too great? Do you find yourself mentally preparing for the worst possible outcomes, as if you were rehearsing a play?

In episode 73 of "The Art of We" podcast, hosts Krista and Dr. Will Van Derveer explore the concept that when individuals are genuinely supported within their partnerships, they unlock a unique level of potential that can be a pivotal foundation for personal growth and achieving one's greatest successes, and that transcends an individual's mere high-functioning ability. They illuminate how the patterns and beliefs instilled in us from childhood carry over into our adult lives, influencing our intimate relationships. By challenging and supporting each other to confront and heal from past relational injuries, partners can achieve a level of fulfillment and expression that was previously unattainable, highlighting the interconnectedness of personal development and relational dynamics.The episode culminates in a powerful message about the potential for partnerships to serve as a catalyst for not just personal transformation but also for contributing positively to the world, pushing the boundaries of what is possible both personally and collectively.You'll also hear:The need for support and security within primary partnerships to unlock higher levels of potentialGrowth and healing within intimate relationships as a foundation for overcoming the limitations imposed by past traumas and childhood imprintsThe transformative potential of partnerships in contributing positively to the wider worldA call to action for listeners to reevaluate the depth and purpose of their relationshipsListen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or on your favorite podcast platform.

Because God is working there like never beforeThere is an urgency to this situation - 2.5 million refugees in a country of only 4 million.  More per square mile than any place in the worldA collapsed economy - World Bank calling it the worst economic collapse in 150 years. 85% of everyone living there needing aid and 99% of every refugee family looking for their next meal. In the middle of this despair though - - HOPE is rising.  I know you have made a number of trips there personally - how have you seen God working in the hearts and lives of the people there. Because of the relational ministry philosophy of Heart for Lebanon, everything they do points to the opportunity to share the Gospel. Lebanon remains the most democratic free society in the middle East.  We are free to share the Gospel and More Muslim Cultured people are coming to Christ than at any time in our generation.  One of my visits there I meet a refugee family in a farmer's field. They were displaced in the middle of the night and went on the run. But Heart for Lebanon met with us and shared with us who Christ is and how He came to save them. How can people help today?(JH) $116 helps provide survival essentials AND the Gospel to a poverty stricken child and their family.

Transcript In this final - and therefore extra-long - episode, three parents who have previously been guests on the podcast talk about how their family's bilingual journey has progressed since then. I look back over the past four years, reflect on the future and, to conclude, we hear a poem written about and dedicated to bilingual children, and inspired by the podcast. Our first guest is Liz. I first spoke to her in the first season of Kletsheads (in episode 4, about language mixing). Liz is originally from Limburg in the Netherlands but has lived in Canada for 10 years. Together with her Egyptian husband, she has a 4-year-old son, Otis. Next, we hear from Marjolein. Marjolein grew up monolingually in the Netherlands, studied English and then became an English teacher. When she became a mother in 2018, she decided to also speak English to her infant son Owen. She now has a second son, James. Marjolein was first featured in this episode 2 of the first season on how much input does a child need to hear to become bilingual. Finally, I speak to Christi. Christi was first on the podcast back in 2020 (in the same episode as Liz) as our Kletshead of the week. She spoke about her own upbringing as a trilingual child in Vienna, and about the choices she faced now that she had become her mother herself. In this episode she tells us how speaking German can sometimes be a challenge (especially when 'life' gets in the way) and how her eldest daughter has picked up Spanish from her mum. If you want to know how these three parents and their bilingual families are doing now, listen to the podcast! To conclude this episode and thus the entire podcast series, we hear a poem, Three words for squirrel. This poem was written and is performed by spoken word poet, Wieke Vink. You might recognise Wieke from the first episode of this final season, when she interviewed our Kletshead of the week. If you listen carefully to the poem, you will hear many references to conversations, topics and words that have passed by in the past four in the podcast. Three words for squirrel This poem is for the little onesWhose mother tongueIs more than one With words in different flavoursOn the tip of your tongueOr flowing out of your fingertips This is for the childrenFor whom the crossroads of thoughts in your headCould be spread outInto at least two different languages With womb-held babiesBathing in soundFollowing the rhythmic patternsThat are with them – all around EmergingOut into the worldA holder of knowledge Growing up You already knowHow to be gentle with yourself and with othersHow to wobble on the table of conventions How to take it slowWhen a word doesn't immediately come to mind When in search for the right ‘mmm'The nuance that you might knowFrom the flow of past conversations Not yet fully interpretatedBut held onto brightlyIn the library of your mind Your shelves full of boxesWith vocab and grammarTu sais que somewhereBetween the Malayalam, French and Finnishthere will be a great find This is for youAs you've feltHow language is part of connectionFor all our neurodiverse minds Language as a connectorFor all things funny and wise, silly and kind Dear multilingual child You might not be able to speak it allYou might not be able to read it allYet you are able to hold it all In a map of the worldThat's unique to youAnd the communities that you belong to Your cultures sometimes resonatingIn the tones of your skinThe rhythms of your sentencesThe sounds of your name You know, language is part of identityYet our schools may beSo monolingual or full of variety With the need for heritage language educationAnd intercultural communicationWithin and across our different nations With all these languages holding the world in their embraceAnd a dialect in every corner And when seasons seem out of orderYou are asked to braze both our physical and our cultural landscapes As three seasons of a podcast droppedFrom the northern hemisphereCoveri...

Dr. Phillip Gable, Director of the Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Graduate Program and Professor at the University of Delaware, recently joined the Laughing Matters podcast to dissect the intricate world of human emotions and humor with the precision of a brain surgeon but the vulnerability of a stand-up comedian. Dr. Gable discusses everything from how our emotions impact behavior to the neural underpinnings that drive our humor responses. He also addresses the following:With all due respect to Socrates and Plato, Dr. Gable says using an Aristotelian approach to set up punchlines and make sense of the unexpected are linked to humor in the business worldA laugh out loud tale involving an unexpected restroom encounter with the police at a restaurantHow he uses emotions to set the rhythm for effective teaching and storytelling and, critically, deepening connections with students.

It starts with us developing ourselves as men. Too many men are living their lives based on what they "think" women want. This leads to confusion and pain from painful breakups and divorces. Men must stop focusing on what women want and must start focusing on three key things to develop as men. As they do this, they will automatically become more attractive to the right kind of woman.Quit Being What They Want As men, we must quit adapting to every whim we think women want or we will never be the men we were designed to beWe'll never figure out who we are if we are always playing a partWearing masks keeps us from developing intimacy in our relationshipsWhen a man is constantly changing based on a girl, he is not taking the time to figure himself outReal serving is done from strength and securityManipulative serving is done from insecurity and controlMen must go on the journey of figuring themselves out or they won't know how to authentically connect with a womanStart Building Our SecurityInsecurity is one of the biggest problems among men todayMen are controlled by women Men change for women based on their own insecurityWe must get to the foundation of who we are as menOur security is built on our foundation as men: our character, our worldview, our purposeMen often hide from this kind of deep thinking through the distractions of lifeMen who don't develop security, never grow up and mature as menDrive Our Own LifeWe must decide as men to drive our own life by taking responsibility for our actions and how we liveQuality Women want a man who knows who he is and what he is doing with his lifeMen who are hyper-control freaks often exhibit signs of extreme insecurity and control is how they try to keep order in their worldA man who is driving his life knows that he can control himself so he doesn't waste his energy on things he can't controlResponsible men can live authentically because they are constantly developing themselves and growing themselvesDriving our own life as men are contingent on having a direction to goMen who drive their life don't get caught up in the hedonistic trap so many men fall intoMentioned in this episode:Get your free Personal Reboot Guide Ebook to start your year strong!

In this interview, I'll be talking with Prof. Andrew Pettegree who co-authored The Library: A Fragile History with Arthur Der Weduwen. What I first thought was a self-explanatory symbol of scholarly righteousness I soon learned was an icon of the individual against the institution, a battleground of the “enlightened” elite and the “plebian” people, and a habitual testament of man's inborn desire to affect the world. And, these are just a few of the themes. Like all histories, the story of the library reveals not only the technologies and techniques that have brought us to our modern understanding of book collecting but also the human vices and virtues that have powered this progression.But, one question looms - do we still need public libraries in a digital world?Topics:Origin of public librariesPreservation of classicsHistory of censorship in the libraryHave public libraries really affected society?The future of libraries in an online worldA bibliophile's guide to organizing a libraryWhat books have had an impact on you?What advice do you have for teenagers?Andrew Pettegree, FBA is Professor of Modern History at the University of St Andrews and Director of the Universal Short Title Catalogue (an online bibliography of all books published in the first two centuries after the invention of print). He is the author of fifteen books in the fields of Reformation history and the history of communication including Reformation and the Culture of Persuasion (Cambridge University Press, 2005), The Book in the Renaissance (Yale University Press, 2010), The Invention of News (Yale University Press, 2014), Brand Luther (Penguin, 2015), The Bookshop of the World. Making and Trading Books in the Dutch Golden Age (Yale University Press, 2019) and The Library: A Fragile History, co-authored with Arthur der Weduwen, was published by Profile in 2021.Socials! -Lessons from Interesting People substack: https://taylorbledsoe.substack.com/Website: https://www.aimingforthemoon.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aiming4moon/Twitter: https://twitter.com/Aiming4MoonFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/aiming4moonTaylor's Blog: https://www.taylorgbledsoe.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6

Series: All!Scripture: Matthew 13:1-17Acts 2:37-38, 3:19, 8:22, 20:21, 26:20Title: What is Repentance?Heavy credit: David Platt and Douglas Sean O'Donnell (See below for bibliography)Summary of chapter: “John the Baptist begins his ministry and baptizes Jesus. The Holy Spirit descends upon Jesus and God declares that he is pleased with his Son.” (Outline Bible)Bottom Line: Repentance is a change of mind that results in a change of living. Entering the Kingdom of God requires repentance of sins.Story: CWP letter, finger prints and my trip to the Goose Creek police department on a Friday afternoon. (3:58)“Lord, keep me close and keep me clean.” -Dr. Bill Bennett, pastor and professorDiscussion questions for group and personal study:Note: We encourage you to use our sermons and discussion questions to gather with some friends and talk about the passage together. Pray and ask God to guide you. He is faithful. Questions? Email us at info@GraceToday.netFind our sermons, podcasts, discussion questions and notes at https://www.gracetoday.net/podcastGoal: The goal isn't to ask every question. The goal is to encourage people to engage the scriptures together.1. Why is it significant that John's first command had to do with repentance?2. What is the difference between regretful confession and true repentance?3. How are some church attenders similar to the Jews who counted on family heritage for salvation?4. How would you counsel someone who professes Christ but shows no marks of repentance?5. How did the arrival of the kingdom point to the nearness of both salvation and damnation?6. How would you explain to a non-Christian that a"hellfire and damnation" sermon expresses love?7. Explain why John's baptism and Christian baptism appear to exclude infants.8. How are all three members of the Trinity present in Matthew 3:15-17?9. Why was Jesus baptized if He had no sin?10. What is the difference between resolving to be good before salvation In resolving to be obey God after salvation?Scripture:“In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.' ” John's clothes were made of camel's hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. “I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented. As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”” Matthew‬ ‭3:1-7, 9-17‬ ‭NIV‬‬ https://matthew.bible/matthew-3-17Opening:"…Additionally, the ancestry was important to demonstrate that Matthew's Gospel did not pertain to a mythical character or hero. To the Jew, the ancestry testified to historical reality.Several years ago a friend of mine, a missionary with Wycliffe Bible Translators, worked among a people who had never heard the gospel in their language. The people could not write or read, so all their communication was oral. The missionary's first task was to learn the language of the tribe. Then she had to change that oral language into written form and teach the people to read and write it. It was a laborious task that took many years. Only after all that was accomplished could she undertake the task of translating the Bible into this language. She began with the Gospel of Matthew. To expedite the project she skipped the genealogy to get to the meat and substance of the story of Christ, and then she sent her translation work off to be printed by a publisher in a distant city. She waited months for the first copies of Matthew to arrive at the compound, and when the trucks came in with the Bibles, or, at least, the Gospel of Matthew, the people were much more interested in the trucks than they were in the translation. After having spent ten years on the project, she was crushed when she saw that the people didn't care at all.Nevertheless, she persevered in her task, and in the second edition of Matthew she included the genealogy. When that arrived the missionary explained the genealogy to the tribal chief, and he said, "Are you trying to say that this Jesus you've been telling us about for ten years was a real person?" She replied, "Yes, of course." He said, "I thought you were telling us a story about some mythical character."Once he understood that this Christ was real in space and time, the chief came to Christ, and shortly thereafter the whole tribe came to Christ.”—Douglas Sean O'DonnellOutline based largely on David Platt and Douglas Sean O'DonnellI. The ministry of the Baptist: Prepare the Way (aka Tell the World)A. The manProphesying boldlyLiving simplyBaptizing openlyServing humblyB. The message (What we do and Why)Repent…How?What is repentance?It is changing your mind in such a way that you change your actions; 180 degree about-faceIt's necessary to believe and follow Jesus Christ and enter into his KingdomRepentance involves confession (admission of sin)Repentance involves contrition (sorry over sin)Repentance involves conversion (turn from sin)…for the Kingdom of Heaven has come near (which means that the King has come near as well)Repentance is for everyoneSee Acts for other sermons and thoughts on repentance including:Acts 2:37-38 “They were cut to the heart…what shall we do? Repent and be baptized”Acts 3:19 “Repent then and turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out”Acts 8:22 “Repent of this wickedness and pray…that he may forgive you”Acts 20:21 “they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus.”Acts 26:20 “I preached that they should repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance but heir deeds”See the 7 churches of Revelation 2-3 as wellC. The methodThe baptism of JewsRenounce your dependence on selfRely on mercy of GodThe baptism of JesusThe Son obeysThe Spirit anointsThe Father speaksII. The ministry of the Church today: Tell the WorldA. Repent and be baptized.B. Resolve to proclaim this good news yourself. (Bearing fruit…leading others)ConclusionThis is what we want to be known for. Loving our neighbors so well we're willing to risk rejection to show and tell them about the mercy and grace of God found in and through Jesus Christ.Let's do this and lead others to do the same!PrayOther notes:Why do people get baptized?Because the Bible says to.Because they see others who trust Christ do this.To go public with their faith.To testify to what Jesus Christ did for usTo testify to what Jesus Christ did in themIn our country, this is no big deal. They will likely not be threatened or abandoned because of this.In other countries, they would do this a great personal threat to their literal lives.Why do it then? Because they have come and seen who Jesus is and what he's done. God has opened their eyes to see clearly. And they have believed what they have seen as more evidence that all God has said is trustworthy.What about you?What do I want you to know? The gospelWhat do I want you to do? Believe and receive the gospel and live accordingly. It's more than a game-changer. It's true life-change. Transformational.At the end I will invite you to do what many in this room have already done. To consider who Jesus is and what he's done and then responding as you see fit.My hope is that by believing you'll find true and abundant life in his name. At the very least, I hope it will lead to more conversations about this for you in the near future.We're going to look at this through the eyes of a couple of women who witness stuff before anyone else does. Just walking through these 10 verses as if we were these ladies. They are not telling us what they believe happened. They are telling us what they saw and heard. We have it recorded reliably in the thousands of biblical texts/transcripts. Over 25,000 partial and/or complete.

We talked about goal setting in the last episode, episode 88, and I talked about visualizing your goals.Visualizing them first before you set them is important, and doing a brain dump into a notebook really helps with that.Today we're talking about visualizing your goals after you've set them.I love doing that through a vision board.As creative minds here in the wedding industry, we love pretty things and seeing them come to life.Our brains scientifically also benefit from seeing things come to life. Did you know that if you think about (and visualize, even like on a vision board) what you want, your brain can see it as already happened, and that helps you achieve that goal even more effectively?That's a whole other topic, but it's the basis for making a vision board.I love doing mine digitally and having it as the wallpaper of the lock screen on my phone.It's super fast to make, and I see it every time I pick up my phone, which means my subconcious brain gets to see it every time I pick up my phone too!I'll run through mine real quick here to give you an idea.I'll put the image of it in the show notes for this episode.Holding heart: Health - physical, mental, spiritualFalling cash: More financial abundance - more disposable income to make a bigger different in the worldHouse keys: Adding 4 properties to our real estate portfolioOlive branch: Peace in everythingMake it happen quote: includes coffee and a heart, two things I loveImage of construction hat, blueprints, etc.: Safety - safety in everything, health, everything, but also we have a huge construction project here at our loft building that we're very involved in, so it's symbolic for the wrap up of that tooPeople: symbolic of more people… like you… that I can help to grow their business so they can also make a bigger impact in the worldA clock set to 10:00: Simply a reminder to go to bed by 10pm every night.A plane in the air: My goal is always to travel, so it's symbolic to that, it's also a small plane, I'm going to fly private instead of commercial at least once this year.You can see that some are big, some are small, some are more values based, some are tangible, some are encouraging, just make it your own and have fun with it.Hot tip: You can update your vision board quarterly, or I kind of like leaving it for all year and having that reflection and reminder of the things I'm achieving. As always, you're invited into our mastermind where we dive deeper into the things we discuss here.Join us in The Vendors Circle today!Do you wish you could fill your calendar faster and easier?It's always easy to do on your own, so I've created a free challenge for you, where we'll walk through it together.The challenge starts on September 21, when you sign up right now you'll get an action item that will have you starting with the right foundation!Just go to www.letsbookclients.com/referralschallenge to sign up today!

On this week's episode, Chris has learnt about the different ways that the CIA attempted to assassinate Fidel Castro, all 638 of them. Well, the most interesting of the 638 attempts anyway. From the very famous exploding cigar to the slightly bonkers poisoned diving suit to the less subtle hiring of the mafia, the CIA made many attempts to get rid of the communist leader. Either they weren't very good, or his security was excellent because he lived a very long life.Then Harrison has learnt about the most expensive party ever thrown. In 1971, the Shah of Iran wanted to prove to the world how rich and sophisticated his country was. The preparations took more than a year and involved the building of a 1,000km highway, a 160 acre “city of tents” and an enormous food order from Paris. The party may have been a hit, but the long term consequences of the party, especially for the Shah, were severe.

Growing up one of my favorite subject of discourse was history, ancient history and one such history is the wonders of the world; seven wonders of world as they were presented and are still presented both in classical and contemporary history lines and narratives. Their names are as follows;·         Great Pyramid of Giza, in El Giza, Egypt, the earliest of the wonders to be completed, as well as the only one that still exists in the present day.·         Colossus of Rhodes, in the harbor of the city of Rhodes, on the Greek island of the same name.·         Hanging Gardens of Babylon, in Babylon, near present-day Hillah, Babil province, Iraq.·         Lighthouse of Alexandria, in Alexandria, Egypt.·         Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, in Halicarnassus, a city of the Achaemenid Empire in present-day Turkey.·         Statue of Zeus at Olympia, in Olympia, Greece.·         Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, in the city of Ephesus, near present-day Selçuk, Turkey.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonders_of_the_WorldA careful look at these wonders, one will come to see that they are testaments of the evolution of man with regard to knowledge, understanding and its application in building civilizations. Obviously, it also reveals man ingenuity in figuring out ways of building and constructing riding on given discipline of studies that have been established on empirically proven concepts and ideas.I asked myself rhetorically, what is the wonder? The mind from which the creations emanated from or the creations itself? Obviously the creator is greater than the creation and the creation is an expression of the creator's passion, love and value for being, because everything evolves and revolves around the creator, in this context Mankind.In this 37th episode of the Word Cafe, we take a peep into the Wonders of the word.

In this episode, I am joined by Dave Capitano, the Higher Education Practice Leader at Baker Tilly. Dave has worked with hundreds of universities on a variety of higher education matters, from finance and operations issues to esports and name, image and likeness. I was recently on Dave's podcast discussing the first 50 days of NIL. In our time off air, he mentioned his passion for esports, and I jumped at the chance to have him come on and educate me because I've admittedly been sleeping on esports.Did you know more than 175 colleges and universities have an officially recognized varsity esports program with more than 5,000 student athletes participating in esports? There's a whopping $16M in scholarships for elite esports players--a fact I was shocked to learn. In addition, more than 475 institutions have esports clubs.Dave joined me this week to share what it takes to add esports, the revenue opportunities, and even the crossover opportunities with athletic departments. Sneak peek: he shared a fantastic idea I think all athletic departments should steal with regards to engaging donors!Some things that Dave and I discussed on the podcast were:The popularity of esports at college universities ranging from the Division I to the club sports levelThe scholarship opportunities involved with esportsThe different revenue opportunities involved with esportsFacility considerations for esportsThe challenges of policing your team in a competitive, virtual worldA look at esports recruitingCrossover opportunities for athletic departments and esports programsCheck out Baker Tilly's esports evaluation guide for more information.

Today we wrap up our series The Story You’re Living In. We’ve been talking about the ideas that can be so big that they provide enough context for us to order most of our lives around. We can get caught up in them, to the point that they become the driving force for most of our time, thought, and decision making.Each of these big ideas has common story elements. We believe that if a story has these elements, it can become the type of story we get caught up in. Those 4 story elements are:Good in the worldA villain who comes to corrupt/destroy the goodA hero who sacrifices/triumphs to rescue the goodRestoration of the goodSo far in this series, we’ve said every idea we’ve looked at isn’t worthy of our allegiance. This week, we talk about a story that is. It’s the story of the Kingdom of God.This is the original story--the one that the common story elements are derived from. The reason that we get caught up in all the other stories is because they resemble this story.At the center of the story is Jesus. As the hero, he sacrifices himself for us so that we, as the good in the world, might be restored. And then he sets us free to do the same for others.Whether or not this is the story you’re living in, we urge you to consider it with fresh eyes and ears. We believe it is the only story truly worthy of our allegiance. And as Tribesmen, this story will shape everything about the way we relate to each other as men.Call To Action!Sign up for the Tribesmen email list to get reminders about podcast episode releases, and to stay up to date with all our Tribesmen news.

Porn is the next big area we discuss as we continue our series The Story You’re Living In. These ideas can be so big, in fact, that they provide enough context for us to order most of our lives around. We can get caught up in them, to the point that they become the driving force for most of our time, thought, and decision making.We’re examining each of these big ideas by looking at common story elements that each of them possesses. We believe that if a story has these elements, it can become the type of story we get caught up in. Those 4 story elements are:Good in the worldA villain who comes to corrupt/destroy the goodA hero who sacrifices/triumphs to rescue the goodRestoration of the goodThis week, we talk about how for many men, porn has become the story you’re living in. In the internet age, porn is everywhere. And the statistics of porn use among men are staggering. The lustful allure of sex is nothing new in our age. But combining that with free, unlimited, and anonymous access has created a perfect storm for porn to overwhelm us.Porn becomes such a powerful story because it promises to eliminate any villain. At least for a while. But to keep those benefits, you have to keep returning to the porn. Hence the tendency of many men toward porn addiction. It never satisfies and never brings lasting good to anyone.If porn has become the story you’re living in, we recommend a few things:Be honest and talk about it with another man in your lifeFigure out what you’re using porn to medicateGet help, because you won’t get free aloneCall To Action!If porn is a challenge for you, consider signing up for Covenant Eyes. CE is an internet accountability software that tracks your web usage and reports it to accountability partners whom you select. It won’t solve your porn problems. But it will help foster the kind of honest conversations you need with other men in order to get free.You can sign up for Covenant Eyes through our website at tribesmen.net/resources.

Kids are the next big area we discuss as we continue our series The Story You’re Living In. These ideas can be so big, in fact, that they provide enough context for us to order most of our lives around. We can get caught up in them, to the point that they become the driving force for most of our time, thought, and decision making.We’re examining each of these big ideas by looking at common story elements that each of them possesses. We believe that if a story has these elements, it can become the type of story we get caught up in. Those 4 story elements are:Good in the worldA villain who comes to corrupt/destroy the goodA hero who sacrifices/triumphs to rescue the goodRestoration of the goodThis week, we talk about how our kids’ activities can become the story you’re living in. The hours spent shuttling back and forth to practices. The money spent on lessons and equipment. The sacrifices to family time for the sake of tournaments and performances. Our kids’ lives can very quickly overwhelm our own.Our kids become the story we’re living in, because we often see the potential for good in their future before they do. And we will stop at almost nothing to make sure they don’t miss out on that preferred future. Even if they don’t see it, we hope that the good it will provide them will be worth it in the end. We hope.If your kids’ activities have taken over your family, we’ve got some tips for you on how to rein things back in.Be honest with your kids that you’re doing too muchSet a healthy activity limit with themHave more seasons with no activity, than seasons with activity.Call To Action!We know you love the Tribesmen Podcast so much, you never want to miss an episode!

Work is the next big idea we discuss as we continue our series The Story You’re Living In. These ideas can be so big, in fact, that they provide enough context for us to order most of our lives around. We can get caught up in them, to the point that they become the driving force for most of our time, thought, and decision making.We’re examining each of these big ideas by looking at common story elements that each of them possesses. We believe that if a story has these elements, it can become the type of story we get caught up in. Those 4 story elements are:Good in the worldA villain who comes to corrupt/destroy the goodA hero who sacrifices/triumphs to rescue the goodRestoration of the goodThis week, we talk about how work can become the story you’re living in. It’s almost a cliche’ to say that men get too involved in their work. But we all know the man, or maybe are the man, whose career has become his whole life.Work embraces our story elements by giving us a vision of how we can make the world better. If we can accomplish that vision, then we get to be the hero of the story! But that can only happen by chaining us to a cycle of never-ending challenges (villains) to overcome. There is undoubtedly prosperity that can come from the story of work. However, it often comes at a high cost to the other priorities in our lives.To close, we give some practical tips on what to do if your work has become the story you’re living in. Namely, you should:Be honest about why you work too muchLimit your work hoursBe someone else’s heroCall To Action!We’d love to connect with you. Come join in the discussion with the Tribesmen community on Facebook. Join our Facebook group and talk about what you’re learning from the podcast and how you’re applying our manhood challenges in your life.

#015. Sports is the next big idea we discuss as we continue our series The Story You’re Living In. These ideas can be so big, in fact, that they provide enough context for us to order most of our lives around. We can get caught up in them, to the point that they become the driving force for most of our time, thought, and decision making.We’re examining each of these big ideas by looking at common story elements that each of them possesses. We believe that if a story has these elements, it can become the type of story we get caught up in. Those 4 story elements are:Good in the worldA villain who comes to corrupt/destroy the goodA hero who sacrifices/triumphs to rescue the goodRestoration of the goodThis week, we talk about how sports can become the story you’re living in. For men in particular, sports can become all consuming. It can get to the point where all our time, energy, and even decision making revolves around sports.Sports embrace our story elements by promising good when our team wins. That team represents me in some way, and their success is my success. But it forces us to make villains out of our opponents. And it makes heroes out of athletes who can never perform up to our standards of perfection.To close, we give some practical tips on what to do if sports has become the story you’re living in. Namely, you should:Limit your input (amount of sports and sports news you consume)Limit your output (money and energy spent on sports)Limit your time (time used up by watching/playing/coaching sports)Call To Action!Want others to find out about the Tribesmen podcast?

Most people today look at social platforms like any other private company, but what if we saw them as alternative jurisdictions with a new set of property rights?This episode is sponsored by Bitstamp and Ciphertrace.Today on the Brief:A record week for peer-to-peer exchanges in the developing worldA digital dollar gets discussed in Congress Previewing the Federal Reserve’s FOMC guidance Our main topic: A brainstorm on digital property rightsHere’s a radical idea. What if by virtue of the fact that you had put so much time and effort into building a following on social media and filling that following with content you had legal claim to and distinct property rights around your corner of social media platforms? It’s wild in the context of today’s terms of service, but has significant legal precedent in the world of physical land. In this new type of deep-dive 20-minute episode we’re calling a “Breakdown Brainstorm,” Castle Island Ventures investor Nic Carter looks at:The two schools of thought around digital property rightsThe historical precedent for squatter’s rightsWhat the specific example of the USA’s Westward Expansion can teach usWhy this type of approach can be highly economically generative, according to economists like De SotoHow John Locke’s theories provide a moral basis for the argument Why today’s platforms are akin to anti-democratic feudal lordsHow bitcoin provides a model and a mechanism for digital rights enforced on the protocol level rather than by a state or other external actor Find our guest online:Twitter: @nic__carterWebsite: niccarter.info

Ecommerce Products The good news is that you are only one product away from having a successful small business.

This is not complicated. Who's This Training For: If you have a terrific product already, you'll learn about expanding to your next terrific option.

Jason Miles: Yes, we are. Michael Veazey: one of the things about products that we're going to discuss, I guess, is it is a broader church than you might think, but I think you've got a very nice introduction to this so I'd love you to just read that out to us. Jason Miles: well, full disclosure, let me just say as a context for the overview. I heard Russell Brunson make a phrase one time, I'm sure he copied it from somebody, but his phrase was, you're one funnel away. From well or from, you know, million dollars or whatever. And I like that phrasing your one. So I adapted that for this. And I would just [00:01:00] say to everybody that you're one product away from having a successful small business, one product away from living a new life, new lifestyle, getting out of debt. You mean all the things that you think are potentially there for you and a bright future. You're one product away from that. And when you break it down that way, and you just say, look, if we can get one amazing product, it's almost like, you know, a band that forget the phrase from the movie, but it's like one great song can change the world, you know? And, it's almost like that for product makers or product creators or marketers, you're one product away from real success. And, at the end of the day, for, I think, my personal opinion at the end of the day for eCommerce selling. It's getting simpler and simpler all the time. And the tools are getting easier. The sites are getting easier, marketplaces are sprouting up everywhere. It's so easy in, in many ways. I mean, it, it [00:02:00] honestly is so easy. And I know for somebody who might be struggling, it could be like, Oh yeah, right. But, it is so easy. But the hard part in it for sure is this question of product creation know, and that's what we want to talk about. And I think that'll be a main theme of, of this podcast. Michael Veazey: so I want to play devil's advocate here, and it's very appropriate that the Americans would come up with incredibly optimistic statement, by the way, I love it. It's, it's really inspiring. And you a man, he's walked the talk. I mean, you've been, you know, running your own eCommerce business for what, 12 years? You've been helping clients for years.

In the end, only a handful were chosen to be fitted for their own starfish bras and plastic tails.After that initial summer, they reappeared for only three more seasons between 1965 and 1967.Matterhorn Mountain ClimbersHaving real mountain climbers on the mountain is a tradition started by Walt Disney in 1959 when the attraction openedClimbers have to undergo a 40 hour training in order to be able to climbPooper scooperCustodial workers push the “honey cart”Audio-animatronics special project leadsdress animatronic characters on rides like Pirates of the Caribbean, Splash Mountain, and It's a Small World.The cast members are also responsible for frequently replacing garments so that the ride always looks new to visitors.

Man’s Response to God’s LightJohn 1:4-5, 9-13 December 22, 2019Introduction:A. I remember a number of years ago walking into a dark house at night to do somework. I had been there many times before and the path was always clear to thelight switch, which was not by the door but on the other side of the room. Istarted a brisk walk over to the light switch and bam – I not only stumbled but Iwent flying over something I could not see, something a worker had put thereduring the day.B. Christmas is all about the time that God turned on his light switch for thisspiritually dark world. When Jesus was born the world received the light itneeded to see just what this world was really all about, to see what really is true inthis world and to see just what the creator of this whole world knew that manneeded to know to have an abundant life here on earth.1. Before Jesus was born John the Baptist’s father, said this about Jesus whowas soon to be born – Luke 1:78-792. I could have used a light that night to guide my feet in that room and eachone of us needs the light that comes from God to guide our feet in this darkworld.3. Jesus is that light and at the birth of Jesus, a great light came into a world thatwas in deep spiritual darkness!C. Turn in your Bibles, on your phones, Bibles on chairs, and share with someone toJohn 1:1 where we will read this story of Jesus coming into the world as God’slight.1. As I read I want you to note two things:a) Jesus – called the Word here - God’s perfect message to the world is thetrue light from Godb) Also note the way man responded to this light – watch for two differentresponses2. Read v1-12• Let’s start by looking at this idea thatI. Jesus, God’s light, came into a dark worldA. Light allows us to see. In Scripture light is associated with seeing, with knowingand with moral and spiritual power that is healthy.1. Often when someone does not know about something we say, “they are in thedark,” but when they learn something new, we say the lights just went on.2. Darkness is just the opposite as it is associated with being unable to see, notknowing and moral and spiritual power that is unhealthy.B. Jesus is the Light – the one that brings to us the spiritual knowledge we need tosee what is really going on in this world and to see what God really thinks, says,does, His ways and what He wants from us.1. Note how Light helps us see so we can be guided and not stumble! Read:a) John 3:20-21- Light exposes and manifests what is real and trueb) John 11:9-10 – Light allows you to see so you do not stumblec) John 12:35 – No Light, you do not know where you are going2. So when you apply this to a spiritually dark world it means since the world isin darkness and does not know what the truth really is about God and life.They are stumbling all over the place spiritually and they really have no ideawhere they are going spiritually!C. Listen again to see that Jesus is the light come from God. John 1:4-5, 9.1. Jesus is the one who shines God’s light into this world, shining it on allmankind. He is God’s agent to bring truth to this world!2. Note it says He is the true light – that means there must be false lights aswell, counterfeits that look like the real thing but they are not.D. When we say that something is dark, we mean it is something that is really bad.Morally or spiritually wicked and evil! But not all darkness is wicked and evil.1. Listen to this 2 Corinthians 11:13-152. Even religion is a part of darkness if it is not consistent with the truth andmessage that Jesus brought. Good people doing good things can be a part ofdarkness.3. Darkness is anything that is operating without the light of God as revealed inHis Son and His Word. It can range from moral and spiritual wickedness togood people and religion. The comment element is they are not operatingaccording to the light that God has given to us in Jesus, whether what theyare doing is good or bad because it comes from man’s best wisdom ratherthan God’s true light!• And we learn in this passage this morning that there areII. Two different responses to the LightA. The first group ranges from people who just do not get it to those who flatly rejectJesus.1. First those who do not get it – Reada) V5 – not comprehend - they just do not get it, they look at Jesus and saywhat? He just does not make sense to themb) V10 – Just not recognize who He was. They are not aware of who Jesuswas2. Those who flatly reject Jesus who He is and what He claims. Reada) V11 – receive Him - did not welcome Him, they did not receive who Heclaimed to be or what He claimed the truth to be. They rejected Himb) Listen what John the Baptist said about Jesus –(1) Read John 3:31-34(2) Jesus comes from heaven and speaks the very words of God and noone receives it! Accepts it, they reject it. We will speak in amoment about those who do receive and accept what Jesus saysc) Listen to what Jesus says about Himself(1) Read John 5:43, 46-47(2) Jesus came representing God the Father – that’s what it means tocome in my Father’s name and they did not receive Him or acceptwhat He said(3) V46-47 helps us understand that simply they rejected Him and Hisclaims because they did not believe HimB. But we see in v12 of John 1 the other group of people – those who received andaccepted Jesus’ claims to come from heaven to represent the Father and what Hesays. Those that believed He was who He said He was.1. Listen to John 1:122. Those who received, accepted, believed what Jesus claimed were given theright to become children of God.C. Jesus’ basic claim was that every person born into this world is born in darknessand sin and they are separated from God. The only way out of that condition is tobelieve in Jesus and what He claims and rely upon the fact that when He died onthe cross He died to pay for your sins. When He rose from the dead, He rose togive you the very life of God so you could have the light of this world!• Which group are you in this morning?III. InviteA. If in your heart of hearts this morning you are saying to yourself I do not buywhat this guy is saying, you are in the first group that either does not recognizewho Jesus is or flatly rejects His claimsB. But if in your heart of heart you are saying to yourself – everything he is saying istrue of me and I need this light that Jesus gives and I believe everything that Jesussays about Himself and about me – then I would encourage you right now to1. Confess – you are in the dark and separated from God2. Admit that Jesus is the true light and that His death on the cross was to payfor your sins and His resurrection to give you His life3. Call out to Him right now thanking Him for dying for you and giving youknew life so you can see the true light of life!

There are new abortion-related headlines happening everyday. It’s easy to grow weary and feel like nothing can be done. But it’s important that we remain aware of the preeminent human rights violation and holocaust of our day. As painful as it is, as apathetic as we are tempted to become, you and I must remain informed. The reality is, at least half of all Americans are pro-life (more than half, by many measures) and yet our culture careens towards a fully anti-life climate more each day. On this episode we look at five headlines from just this past week and also discuss why it is that we are moving in an anti-life direction, when it’s not what most of us want. I look at how abortion is not empowering, but rather exploitive and how it has done so much harm in the past couple generations that people are largely silent with regret and remorse. The truth is, there is freedom and forgiveness available to those who confess their sin and receive Jesus’s payment for it. May that forgiveness lead to a movement of men and women who openly share and even shout the truth: abortion does not empower, it exploits.

This episode specifically goes over: The difference between the world happening to you, and you happening to the worldA psychological concept called Locus of ControlHow this one idea can have such a big impact on your mindsetWhy your mindset matters anywayHow I believe Earth is a Soul-School and why that is relevantAnd ultimately, tools that can help you change your mindset and feel more empoweredI talk through a story of a man Waiting For God to Save Him in this episode.
