Friday, November 24th | Enjoying the Process

Hello, everyone. Today is Friday, November 24th. I'm Ryan Hill. I'm John Galantis. You're listening to Clearview Today with Dr. Abbadon Shah, the daily show that engages mind and heart for the gospel of Jesus Christ.

You can visit us online at ClearviewTodayShow.com, or if you have any questions for Dr. Shah or suggestions for new topics, send us a text to 252-582-5028, or you can email us at contact at ClearviewTodayShow.com. If you guys want to help us keep the conversation going, you can do so by sharing the show online. You can support us with your friends and family. Actually, take that, reverse it.

You can support the show, share it online with your friends and family. That's how that is supposed to be said. You got turkey on the brain, we'll forgive you. Yeah, I got some turkey on the brain, man. I ate a lot yesterday, golly. But make sure you leave us some good five-star reviews.

Absolutely nothing less than five stars. I will find out that it was you, and I will punish you for that. We're going to leave some links in the description so you can do just that. The verse of the day today comes from Philippians chapter 1, verse 20. According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. I think that's the whole—I mean, really, isn't that the goal of what we should be striving for, to be magnifying Christ? Whether it's in my life, whether it's in my death, no matter what I do, the legacy that I leave, the example that I set, it's that Christ be magnified, Christ be the one on display. All of my accomplishments, this entire radio show, everything that we do as fathers and as husbands and as church leaders, it's all to magnify Christ, not ourselves. Yeah, Paul was very clear about that in his missionary journeys and his letters to people. The goal was always Christ. The goal was always to put Jesus at the forefront, no matter what he was going through, because he talks about, in various places, I know how to be brought low and I know how to abound, I've suffered much, and he goes into that in a little bit more detail in certain letters, but his goal was always to have Christ magnified. He's like, don't look at me.

I'm not the one bragging. Look to Christ. Look to Jesus. He's the one that we should be focusing on. Amen. You know, we had someone write into the show, Michael S. from North Carolina. He actually had a game idea for us. I love it. He wanted to do a segment where we just played a quick game.

I think we got enough time to do it. So basically, he said, I got a fun game I saw on IG. That's Instagram if you're not tech savvy or you're not Gen Z savvy for y'all to try during intro. My wife and I tried it last night and it was a good laugh. I figured y'all would enjoy it. It's called mind melding. So basically, we're going to count to three. We're each going to say a random word and then we do it again, but we have to try to link those words together. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

And we see how many times it takes us to get to the same word. Okay. Let's do it. All right. Let's do it.

Ready? One, two, three, high gawk. Cable. All right.

So now we're going to try to say words that link those two together. One, two, three. Summer. Okay.

All right. One, two, three. Cookout.

Cookout. Yeah. Three rounds. That's not bad.

That's not bad. You want to do it again? Yeah. Let's do one more. All right. All right. One, two, three. Internet.

What did you say? Green. Green?

Like the color green? Okay. You said internet? Internet.

Ooh, that's crazy. Okay. One, two, three. Cafe. Money.

One, two, three. Coffee. Yes! Dude! Yes! David, do you want to try it? We got it.

Do you want to try it? I'll sit this one out and maybe you and Ryan do it. Do you understand the rules? Yes, I get it. All right, Dave.

You and me? Yeah. Okay. All right.

John, count us down. All right. All right. Three, two, one. November. Horse. Okay. Three, two, one.

Roosevelt. TV. You said TV? TV.

Yeah. One. Knight of the Smithsonian. Knight of the Smithsonian. Dang it.

What did you say? President. President. Knight. All right. Okay.

One, two, three. Robin Williams. Robin Williams. What? No!

Same time. No, no, no. Let's try it again. All right. All right.

Ready? Which ones were the... I said Knight of the Smithsonian and you said President. No, he said... Yeah, he said President. Yeah.

One, two, three. Robin Williams. What are you doing, David? I thought we were doing a different one. I didn't know we were doing a different one.

Robin Williams again. Even then, you still are supposed to say... Hold on.

You're still supposed to say... All right. Let's try one more. Let's start from the beginning. One more. One more. Fresh start.

Fresh start. All right. Here we go.

Ready? Yeah. From the beginning. One, two, three. Car. Microphone. Microphone. Microphone.

Microphone. Okay. One, two, three. technology. Okay.

One, two, three. I'm afraid. Just say a word. I'm afraid. I'm scared. The game doesn't work if you don't say the word. It's not that I'm not saying it, I'm just scared is all.

Of what? To be... What if I'm wrong? You can't be wrong.

You can't be wrong. It's to see how many times it takes you. Are you competing with me to get it in three? Yes.

I knew it. One, so you said wireless. Hold on. You said Bluetooth and you said technology. Yep. One, two, three.

Wireless. Great. Well done. You did it. Well done.

We did it with no cheating involved here. That's fun. I love that game. That's fun.

Maybe we'll listen. Doc Michelle's not going to be on the episode today, but maybe we can play it with him online. Yeah. That's a lot of fun. That's a fun game.

As you guys are going around, Black Friday shopping today, play, what is it? Mind melding? Is that what he called it? He called it mind melding. I know you call it something else. So we played a game very similar to this in our youth group. We call it Brainwave. Nice.

But same concept, same set up, same rules and everything. And if you guys listening have some ideas for some good quick games that we can play on the air like that to kind of pad some of these segments out, let us know. You can write in and text us at what number? 252-582-5028.

See, that was friendly radio banter on the outside, on the inside. I forgot the number. That's okay. It just, it's like creased into my mind right now so I could be like asleep and I'll just 252-582-5028. Amen. Do you want to cut to an ad and come right back?

Yeah, let's do it. What's going on, listeners? My name is Jon.

And I'm David. And we hope you are enjoying the podcast thus far.

Again, that's 336-759-0363. Well, John, are you ready? I was born ready, my friend. Let's hop right back in. All right. Welcome back to Clearview Today with Dr. Abidjan Shah, the daily show that engages mind and heart for the gospel of Jesus Christ.

You can visit us online at ClearviewTodayShow.com or if you have any questions or suggestions for new topics, send us a text to 252-582-5028. That's right. And if you're joining us for the first time, Dr. Abidjan Shah is a PhD in New Testament textual criticism, professor at Carolina University, author, full time pastor and the host of today's show. You can find all of his work on his website, AbidjanShah.com. Dr. Shah, I got to say, you're looking like an empty chair this afternoon. I thought you were in the beginning. I thought you were going to be like, he's a PhD in New Testament textual criticism, author, professor at Carolina University and not here today. I was actually really hoping that Nicholas would cut to the empty chair and I see his camera's not even set up.

I was setting up for a bit that I had no clue if it would actually work. In your head, though, the delivery was full. In my head, Nicholas cut to an empty chair and it just, it's kind of like spinning slowly. So Dr. Shah is not here with us on the show today because he is at ETS, San Antonio, Texas, ETS, Evangelical Theological Society. He's actually presenting a paper there, which is very exciting.

That's right. The paper is on Ephesians, chapter 5 and verse 30, where Paul is talking about being unified with Christ. We are his flesh and of his bones. A lot of manuscripts, and I think we've talked about this on the show. We're going to talk about it in greater detail once he actually presents his paper. But a lot of manuscripts don't, I don't know if it's a lot don't or some don't. I think many don't include it. It's many gravitate to the shorter reading. Many advocate for the longer reading, but the earlier ones omit it, I think is what it is. That's like the debate. I think is that the majority don't have it.

I'm sorry. The majority do have the longer reading, but the earlier ones don't. I don't know well enough to speak of it. I think it's that or it's reversed. Either way, that's what his paper is being presented on.

So he's at San Antonio. The longer reading should be in there. Yes, correct. It should be included. Correct.

And we're going to talk about that in the coming episodes once his paper is actually presented. But for now, I thought it would be kind of fun since Dr. Shah is not here today. It's the day after Thanksgiving. We're all grateful for the different things in our lives. I thought it'd be fun to kind of do one of the daily devotionals from Dr. Shah's book, 30 days to a new beginning by Dr. Abidan Shah and his wife Nicole. So good. These are daily devotions to help you move forward.

One of my favorites is actually chapter 14, enjoy the process. And the reason I like this one so much is because it can be so, especially I think as guys, we are very goal driven. We're very career focused. We have ambition and we have a desire to build something and keep building and keep adding onto it that you see the end goal so clearly in your mind that you can sort of forget where you are in the process. And the encouragement is to not only be present in the process, but actually enjoy it. So I thought we could just kind of go like paragraphs at a time and maybe comment on some of these, some of these thoughts.

Yeah, I love that. And as we're reading, we want you guys to know that this, this devotional 30 days to a new beginning and the previous devotional in that series, 30 days to a crisis are available anywhere books are sold. I mean, well, let me not say that cause they're not available maybe in your local bookstore, but I mean like Amazon, they're available in audible books, Apple books, they're available any of those places. So if you're looking for a great devotional, I cannot recommend this highly enough. No one because it is Dr. Shaw's devotional and you know, John and I were involved in the process of making these things a reality as well as David and others on the team. But these really are, we really do believe in these devotionals because of what they bring to the table. They're bite size scriptural truths that help you either work through a crisis, the first one 30 days through crisis or get unstuck from where you are. So many times that's the posture we have in the Christian life is we're just spinning our wheels.

This devotional is great and helping you take that next step and move forward. And a good point that Ryan made is that when you do get stuck, a lot of times we see that through the lens of failure, but you can be technically doing things right. You can be making like being successful and still be stuck. And I think that's what this chapter kind of sticks out in my mind is that it's not just about, oh, I'm stuck in life.

I'm a loser. It's like, no, we're doing things right. And I've got a clear goal in mind and yet I'm forgetting to enjoy this process. So Dr. Shaw writes, in our fast paced world with instant everything, people only want the result and they want it immediately.

I know that's a huge problem that I have. Processes that used to be enjoyable have become tedious drudgery. We as people have grown to despise waiting, which causes us to take shortcuts, which can lead to bad habits and which ultimately ends in failure. Somewhere as a culture, we have forgotten that the process is a critical part of the result.

So good. So many times we want to skip to the end. We want to just go ahead and hurry up and get through all of the tedium, all the nitty gritty details and just make it to where I want to go. But there's process and the process is an important part of that journey. We can't skip over those details because I mean that's where the meat of the journey happens is in the going, is in the process.

A lot of the people in our church are farmers and so people who work on a farm, because we live in the south in North Carolina, I don't know if you'd call it the deep south, but it is the south and so a lot of the land around here in the culture and the economy is agricultural. Those crops and those animals are going to grow at the same rate. So also if you work out, and this is a frustration that I've had for a long time is that you just can't rush it. There's no supplements, there's no anything that's going to circumvent that hard work and get you to your goal faster. Yeah, it's just part of the process, it's part of the journey. And so if the process is inevitable, there's no point dreading it. There's no point hating it.

You may as well enjoy it because it's going to happen anyway and it's something God has given to you. Similar mistakes were made by the Jewish people when they were first taken into the Babylonian exile. God sent them away to purify and prepare them for the coming of the Messiah. However, somewhere along the way, they forgot that it was their own sin that caused them to be driven out in the first place.

They hated the process of living in exile. All they wanted was the immediate solution, going back to Jerusalem. We just got done talking about this in Sunday school, in our Sunday school program here at Clearview, the church where we produce Clearview today from, we have a systematic chronological study of the Bible going on in Sunday school. So we're studying through the entire Bible in chronological order and that's true across all age groups. It's another thing you can't rush is getting through the Bible.

Yeah. I mean, we've been doing this for over a year now and we are just now in the Babylonian exile portion. So we've been talking through this and we've been talking about what the Babylonian exile looked like and there are some people who kind of took to heart that kind of bloom where you're planted mentality, but others just, I mean, just that desire, that urge, that burning desire to go back home, to get back where you were, to get back to what you were dealing with and you know, that's, that's a part of the journey.

God has, God has you in the waiting period for a reason. That's a great point and it's also something where you really do have to kind of put your money where your mouth is as far as this advice is concerned because the Babylonian exile was undisputedly a tragedy. So we look at the tragedies that happen in our world even today with this Israeli Hamas war and we're like, okay, are we supposed to enjoy this process? Like this is part of the process of God's people. Should they be enjoying it? And I think what we mean by enjoy the process is understand that God is working through it. It's not always enjoyable in the sense that we feel like we're having fun or we feel happy about it, but we acknowledge that not only is it necessary, but it's ultimately going to lead to something good, something beneficial. That's a good way to put that is that it's not necessarily a fun thing or you wouldn't be like, wow, I'm really happy that this is happening, but you understand there's a purpose behind it.

That's right. There's nothing that's wasted in the Christian life. If you're in that season of waiting or in a season of process, know that God is still working.

You're not just in a holding tank. God is still working and refining things in you and in that situation. And that purpose is not just like, hey, you have to suffer through this.

It'll always lead to something good. And I think that's what we even see here because it says in the next paragraph, God sent Jeremiah to encourage the people and Jeremiah 29 five through seven says, build houses, build houses and dwell in them, plant gardens and eat their fruit. Take wives and begat sons and daughters and seek the peace of the city where I've caused you to be carried away captive. In other words, God was saying bloom where I've planted you, make yourself at home, dig some foundations, get your hands dirty in the Babylonian soil, become a productive member of the society, make the place better by your presence.

Yeah. A lot of times I have seen, and you know, I've been guilty of this before is as Christians, we adopt this like holy huddle mentality where it's like the world out there and we need to be separate from the world. So we're just going to like huddle together in church and we're going to protect our own and we're going to, you know, do the, do the Christian thing and stay out of the world. And yes, we should protect our kids from the world. Please hear me when I say that.

Don't expose him to all kinds of craziness. But at the same time, we've got to be in the world that God has called us to be in. No, this place is not our home, but we are living here and we've got to be an active influence in the world. God calls us to be the light of the world and that's difficult to do from behind the closed church doors. Yeah. It's easy to be like a Jonah and just withdraw like, okay, look America, there's no hope left.

I'm going to just focus on my family and my church and as for me and my house, we're going to serve the Lord. Anyone can do that. That's what Jonah did. You know, Jonah was like, hey, look, I'm not going over there. They are godless. They are savages.

They will kill me. And I just really don't want them to come to know Christ. I don't want them to come to know God.

That's easy. And God has not called us to do that. And it even says in the next paragraph, it says, at first, the people didn't want to hear that. They didn't want to hear Jeremiah's message to them, but God was clear.

This is how things would be for the next 70 years. On the other hand, if the people were obedient to plant themselves where God had placed them, then his promise to them would be this, for I know the thoughts that I think towards you, says the Lord. Thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you future and a hope, Jeremiah 29, 11. That's that famous, famous scripture. People often quote this promise, but they fail to realize that God's promise was contingent on the Jewish people actually obeying him and enjoying the process he had ordained for them.

True to his word, at the end of 70 years, God raised the Medo-Persian king, Cyrus the Great, to overthrow the Babylonians and free the Jewish people from their exile. As tough as it was for them, the Babylonian exile was truly a blessing in disguise. We don't like to think about our tragedies. We don't like to think about our tragedies being blessings for us. Well, it doesn't feel like a blessing in the moment.

So it's difficult to kind of rationalize that in your head. That's right. In the end, the Jewish people finally put an end to their centuries-long struggle with idolatry once and for all. They began to study the law, establish synagogues, and became a missionary-minded people. Their journey, although difficult, had placed a deep longing in their hearts for the coming of the Messiah. You know, as we've been talking about this idea of enjoying the process and kind of being content and trusting God in a season of waiting, it reminds me of when I was in seminary before starting here at Clearview. So I was enrolled in seminary, and I was working toward my masters.

I had about two years, a year and a half left at the time, and I had been applying to different jobs, specifically ministry-related church jobs. And just application after application of jobs, I was like, oh, this church would be great. Apply. No, it didn't work out.

This church would be great. Apply. Went to an interview. Didn't go anywhere from there.

It was probably 15 to 20 churches that just rejected, rejected, rejected. And I was so frustrated. We had little kids at the time.

The twins were one, almost two, and Evie, our third born, had just been born. I was going to school full-time. I was working multiple jobs to make ends meet. And I just was so stressed because I was like, God, I feel like this is what you've called me to, and yet it has been no after no after no after no after no. And so I can remember at this moment, just kind of sitting in front of my computer, they had this employment portal, and I just saw this other application pop up there, and I was like, okay, this is the last one, Lord. I'm done trying to force this.

I'm done trying to make this happen. I'm going to hit submit here on my application and send in my resume, and then I'm not applying for any other jobs. I'm just going to get through the rest of my time in seminary, and then if we need to move back to Charleston, where we were from, we'll do that. So I just hit submit, and then two days later, I got a call from Dr. Shah. And when I first came out here and met Dr. Shah, and he just walked me around and told me about Clearview, and this was nine years ago, I was like, God, thank you so much for all of the no. Thank you so much for that season of waiting, because it taught me, as painful and as awful as it felt, it taught me that I needed to wait on God's timing and not try to force my timing onto his timeline. That's true.

That's exactly right. I think about even where I'm at with this album right now. If you are listening to the show and you weren't aware, Clearview is producing our first-ever full-length album that's being produced by an external producer, somebody who's not in house here at Clearview.

And this is something that a lot of churches dream of doing and that I've dreamed of doing for years. And it was always a matter of waiting, not because the answer was no, but just because we're just not at that place. We're not in the season of writing songs and doing that stuff.

So the waiting was tough. But even then, now that we're doing it, as of recording it this right now, the music, all the instrumentation is completely wrapped up. We're in this sort of awkward lull phase where we're finalizing schedules to start doing vocals and all the singing.

And going through it and being kind of like leading that project alongside talking with Dr. Shaw about all the logistics and all that stuff, you start to realize that it's all a matter of time and money, and you have limited access to both, right? You have limited time to get it done, and you have a budget that you have to stay within and still make it sound the absolute best that it can sound. And so one of the temptations for me is to be in, or not even the temptations, but the struggles for me is to actually enjoy the process of recording. Because if you've never recorded in a professional studio before, you look at videos online, and I know David felt this way too, and so did our drum, and anyone who's been with me so far, you look at videos online and you just see creativity. And you see sound and colors and big screens and faders, and everybody's laughing and standing over the board.

They're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And they feel the Holy Spirit moving, or if it's a secular studio, everyone's smoking and drinking and laughing, and it's a big party. It's just a creator's paradise.

So far from the truth. You sit in one spot and you listen to a loop on repeat for eight hours at a time. And it's so draining. And it's become very easy for me to forget that I'm doing something that most churches and most worship leaders will only ever dream of being able to do. And I have forgotten at times to enjoy this process. Very, very real temptation when you are so focused on what's coming, or like Ryan said, you don't want to do all that waiting.

And so Dr. Shot kind of concludes this devotional day by saying, how do you view your journey towards the goal God has given you? This whole book is about how to reach that goal of a new beginning. Do you dread the process?

Do you complain about how difficult it is? Are the people around you being impacted for the better as you head towards your finish line? God told the Jewish people to seek the peace of the city where I caused you to be carried away captive and pray to the Lord for it. For in its peace, you will have peace. Jeremiah 29 seven.

In other words, your wellbeing is dependent on the wellbeing of those in your path. Do you stop to notice them along the way? Are you praying for them?

Have you shared Christ with them? When you finally reach your destination, you may be surprised to find out that your destination was the journey all along. Oh man, so good. Your destination was the journey all along. I mean, we hear that in movies and stuff. It turns out the journey, it wasn't the treasure at the end, it was the friends we made along the way. There's truth to it. That's why it's cliche. That's why we hear it all the time is because that journey that God is going to take you, it really is your life. That's the quality of your life. Well, I love the journey that it takes us to get to Jeremiah 29 11.

I know the thoughts that I think toward you. We can't understand that unless we understand the Babylonian exile. We can't understand that unless we understand the process that Israel had to go through. Even further back than the Babylonian exile, we talk about Israel walking around this mountain and they're just circling and circling and circling and circling and God says, enough, it's time to move forward. But he doesn't say it's enough, it's time to reach your destination.

It's just time to start moving. That's right. And Paul says it in Romans, he says, we glory in tribulation, not because we love to suffer. Look how holy I am because I'm suffering. It's that tribulation produces perseverance and perseverance produces character and character produces hope. There's this logical stepping stone of you going through this stuff to become a better, more well-rounded person. It's all about process.

It's all about learning what a life led by God looks like. It's not fast, the journey is not quick. Sometimes the journey might be faster than others at moments in your life. But don't rush to your destination. Don't rush, try to skip ahead and try to just go ahead and hurry up and get to where you're going because God has lessons that he's teaching you along the way. Every step of the way, God is working, God is moving, God is doing things.

We've seen that working here at Clearview, working with Dr. Shah. We have ideas in our head and we have things like, I wish this would hurry up and happen. I wish we'd go ahead and hurry up and get to this. The biggest one right now is the building project that we're in. I wish we could hurry up and get into the building. But there's things that we're learning along the way. There's ways that we're seeing God move, ways that we're seeing people step up and meet needs along the way that if we were to skip right ahead to the ending, we would miss. If you struggle with impatience, we're not telling you to do anything that we don't also have to do.

I can tell you if I listed all of my character flaws onto a piece of paper, number one, I would need a CVS receipt to get it all down because there's a lot of them. Why are they so long? I don't know, dude. I don't know. That's kind of crazy.

I went to CVS the other day and I was like, why is this? I don't need all this. I don't need all this information. This was uncalled for. If I had to list all my character flaws 100%, I could ask any person in my life, they would put impatience at the top. It comes with a realization that God's timing is just better than mine. I don't know best. Even if I don't think I know best, having what I want the moment I want it is not good for me. It feels good, but it's not good for me to have that.

Yeah. See, for me, I hear you talk about impatience. For me, it's often fear or anxiety. I'm very much a perfectionist, so I'm very hypercritical of myself to where I don't want to take that step on the journey unless I know that I'm going to be able to reach the end quickly and well. Look, if I can't plot out every step along the way, I don't even want to start.

I want to stay back at the starting line. But there's stuff to be learned in the journey. There's stuff to be learned in the middle. It's not about just making it to the end quickly. It's not about making it to the end without making any missteps or mistakes along the way. There's learning, and there's growth, and there's development to be had in that process and in that journey.

That's something that's a struggle for me, that I'm constantly asking God to help refine in me and help me put to death that old nature and just be willing to step out in obedience to Him. I think Dr. Shaw would agree, like the process of having to go to ETS, right? It's a huge honor to be able to read something at ETS, but it's just a small part of what ultimately we're trying to do through Clearview Church. He's not just reading a paper that he wrote so a bunch of other PhDs can clap and then go on to their next seminar. We're talking about something that is a very, very relevant issue in the Bible. We say a lot of times, or text critics will often say, all of these variants, only like 5% of them have anything to do with doctrine. Well, guess what? That's not just an excuse to say, let's just camp out in this 95% safe percent.

We still have to deal with that 5%. So this is a process of contributing to that conversation, building connections along the way, and seeing how it will affect this radio show, it'll affect Clearview Church, it'll probably affect the way the Bible is printed in the future and written in the future. If enough scholars agree, like, okay, this should be in here, it will affect the way that we read the Bible in the next 100, 200 years. And that's crazy that we have a chance to sit here and be part of that. Not just like we, like the three of us, you, if you're at Clearview Church, you're part of that.

If you listen to the Clearview Today show and you contribute, whether it's just by listening or by giving, you are contributing to the work that's being done. That's right. And I'm so thankful to have someone like Dr. Shaw, who's a great example of kind of awaiting that, that being faithful in the middle.

He does a great job with us, just kind of making sure that we stay focused on God, making sure that we are, you know, pursuing the vision, but not trying to rush the process and paying attention to what God is doing along the way. That's right. That's right. If you guys enjoyed today's episode, if you'd like to learn more about 30 Days to a New Beginning or other devotionals and books and resources written by Dr. Shaw, write in and let us know, 252-582-5028, or you can visit us online at ClearviewTodayShow.com, and like John said, you can partner with us, be a part of what God is doing here, giving financially, being obedient to using the resources that God has given you to bless other people. Contribute to the Clearview Today Show and become part of our family as we seek to impact the nations with the gospel.

That's right. We love you guys. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Happy Black Friday shopping to you, and we'll see you on Monday. Bye. you
