| 0:00.0 | So I always start these podcasts with bringing in an object to talk about. |
| 0:20.8 | And I have in my hands here an example of these podcasts with bringing in an object to talk about. |
| 0:27.6 | And I have in my hands here an example of Kinsugi pottery. |
| 0:31.6 | It's a wonderful Japanese tradition. |
| 0:35.3 | The word actually means golden repair. |
| 0:41.4 | This is newly given to me and my dear wife Luella by our guest. |
| 0:52.1 | And it's a tradition of broken pottery that is repaired traditionally with gold. I think this one is repaired with silver. |
| 1:02.4 | And it actually ends up being more beautiful and more interesting than the original. And I think that is such a beautiful metaphor of what God does in our lives. |
| 1:16.9 | One of my favorite passages in the New Testament is Secreenius 4 that says we have this treasure in jars of clay |
| 1:25.9 | to show that the all-sopassing power is from God and not from us. |
| 1:32.7 | My boss for many years at CCEF, John Bettler used to say, God intends for us to be crackpots so that his glory would shine through the cracks. |

| 2:27.5 | and put together by his grace. |
| 2:32.6 | And so I love this. It's one of those things that we will look at in our home and not only remember who gave it to us, but what it represents not just in real life, which is beautiful, it's art in and of |
| 2:53.9 | itself, but how it reminds us of how Jesus has touched us with his mercy. |
| 3:02.9 | Well, I'm really excited about the conversation we're about to have. |
| 3:09.3 | Our guest today is Brett Rao. |
| 3:13.3 | Brett is the executive director of Christ's Bible Institute in Japan, Nagoya, Japan. |
| 3:21.3 | And I'm really excited about having a conversation about how God has brought him to |
| 3:29.2 | this place, because we love to have people tell their story, but also about what God is doing there |
