šļø INTRO
Shalom, and grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Welcome to The Notes I Leave podcast.
The Hebrew word āshalomā signifies more than mere peace; it signifies wholeness, completeness, well-being, harmony with God and others. All of which, I wish for you.
The purpose of this podcast is to share the diverse experiences I encounter as a professor, teacher, entrepreneur, student, father, son, brother, and follower of Christ Jesus. These notes are intended for you, now and in the future.

š MAIN MESSAGE
š This weekās theme:
In this episode, I discuss the languages provided by the Lord for us to understand His word.
š Anchor verse(s):
1 Now the whole earth used the same language and the same words. 2 It came about as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. 3 They said to one another, āCome, let us make bricks and burn them thoroughly.ā And they used brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar. 4 They said, āCome, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name, otherwise we will be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.ā 5 The LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. 6 The LORD said, āBehold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they began to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them. 7 āCome, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so that they will not understand one anotherās speech.ā 8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city. 9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of the whole earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of the whole earth.
Genesis 11:1-9, New American Standard Bible, 1995
š Application or takeaway:
The Lord has placed on my heart that He often validates our path in unexpected ways.

š TRANSITION TO MEMBERS
That is the heart of what the Lord laid on me this weekābut for those of you walking this journey further with me, there is a deeper side I want to share; in the members-only section, Iāll be opening up about how this career change challenged me as a father and a disciple.
But first, I would like to leave you with a quote and question.
š Quote:
āIf āheadshipā means āpowerā in any sense, then it is power to care not to crush, power to serve not to dominate, power to facilitate selfāfulfillment, not to frustrate or destroy it.ā
āJohn Stott
āļø Question:
Who has the authority over the house of a Christian family?
