You have never been a person who splashes around in the shallows. You swim toward deeper. Buoy is about moving through life with a resilient, unsinkable witness anchored in the power of seeking God’s nature. Faith that rocks. In open water. Spend a few minutes navigating a deeper perspective on how our faith is God's divine persuasion in our deep blue lives--how we witness to each other. 99 episodes. Because Jesus will leave the 99 to find you when you have lost your way (Matthew 18:12). If ...

Episode 83. I Sing to the Lord a New Song (wake up to His faithfulness) Turning our face toward God, toward Jesus, focusing on His faithfulness, is the best possible training for singing to Him. We are made in His image, so our faith comes from His faithfulness. When we look to Him for the lyrics to a new song every morning, and throughout our day,…

Wreck diving is a perfect mix of maritime history and ocean exploration and that is why we at ATB are fascinated with the subject. For the past five decades, Eric Takajian has been diving on deepest and most infamous wrecks in the world and at the same time discovering over seventy of history’s most notorious lost ships. From German U-Boats to ocea…

Episode 82. I Pray Beyond the Healing (my suffering is parenthetical to His Glory) So, what is so important to me, and for you, human, is to praise how God stabilizes us, so we can do His will for His glory. I pray every morning—because this is one of my diehard fears, that something like vertigo will stand in the way of His purpose for my life—so …

BUOY Episode 81. God Gives Me a Willing Spirit (when I bring my broken spirit to Him) Psalm 51: 11-12 11 Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. When I drift, I lose my joy. It’s the first thing to go... I remember having had it, I k…

Episode 80. .... It does mean we all make one binary choice. God, or man. God, or things, God, or fame. God, or fortune. God, or followers. Am I trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? There is a timely moment in your life, human, when you decide to take that one-way all-in ride to your abbey, your purpose according to how your Creat…

Episode 79. What we want is often not what Jesus was sent to do. Or for the purpose for which He was sent. Jesus asks me to get clear, be honest about what is in my heart, be honest about why I am approaching Him. Jesus is not the Savior of our selfish purposes. He is the Savior of our selfish nature. Jesus is not the Lord of our self-proclaimed li…

It was just before the Passover Festival; Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world. He had just washed their feet, predicted his death for a final time, and predicted Peter’s denial three times before the rooster crows. (John 13) This was his last night with his disciples before his death. To comfort, to assure, to inspire, to …

Revelation 22:12-13 12 Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Jesus was with God in the beginning, and He proclaims that He is the one who conquers the ending to God’s story. His Heavenly Father…

The new covenant we have with God through His Son, lives in every moment. I love that God’s nature is timeless. That His presence doesn’t require a special day or a particular moment to do what He plans to do. He is always, constantly, going before me. Clearing a Psalm 139 path for my earthly ascent to a heavenly home. Jesus always “goes before and…

Episode 75 I Have a Covenant with My Creator (sealed with the blood of the One) Hebrews 8:10 10 This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. What a powerful way to stay in His pres…

The America’s Cup has always been about pushing yacht design to the limit and embracing changes to keep the sport relevant for future sailors. But over the past 153 years, the teams have been predominantly filled with male crews with opportunities few and far between for female sailors to compete. In a move to change that, the organizers of the 37t…

Episode 74 I am Worthy of His Calling (because He is worthy) Give me a minute more human, to witness why this is mind-blowing to me... I can intellectually check all the boxes Maclaren lays out. That I am unworthy, that I can commit to not striving to be worthy as if by my own power, that I can accept my life on God’s terms – that it is all a gift …

Episode 73. The love God gives us is a divine, selfless love. My spiritual commission is to be clear and convicted, to remain clear and convicted about the Jesus who has resurrected my heart, so I can wrap my heart around the lives of others in my path. That I embody the death of Jesus, and His resurrection through my life and actions. That’s the p…

Paul’s dissenters thought he suffered too much to be Spirit-filled, that he was weak and tossed about in his person (his trials, imprisonments, etc.), that his life did not represent the authority of God. But what this letter does is open the unseen of Paul’s life. I landed on this threshold of suffering because I am a jar made of clay. And God has…

When we confess, it is like saying “here” at roll call. It is our time to tell God when we did not choose Him, when we did not choose His Will, His way, when we tried to get out ahead of Him, when we tried to rule alongside Him, when we treated His people poorly, or when we gave our minds and hearts to something, anything, other than Him. When we n…

The expression, “Must Be Nice” is often a dig towards someone else's perceived luck or easy road to success. Whoa, you vacationed in Aspen... MUST BE NICE! Today's guest, Sadie Samuels, might single-handedly change that phrase's definition. Starting at the age of 7, Sadie has made her own luck with an unstoppable drive to catch lobsters. Now with a…

We have longings that we choose to pursue like the prodigal son, through earthly means. What I call the human gain of things. We are all distracted, selfish, consumed, confused, restless, lost, prideful, arrogant, idol worshipers, and what else? Whatever keeps us spiritually compromised, depleted, paralyzed. Until we are found. What brings us to re…

A hush comes over the room, you hear a rushing sound, and see a cloud come over the desk and He begins to tell you, a beneficiary, what you will receive in His Kingdom. Because you have died to sin and will live with Him forever. You believe that. You have professed that. You count on that. Although the room is filled with people, you fall deeply i…

A beautiful and enduring prophetic assurance comes from the God of Moses, the same God of the apostle John. Deuteronomy 30:14 14 No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it. John 1:1 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. This summons me to yield to the power of …

I just finished reading the Old Testament. 872 pages. With one question: What happened, God? For those who are jumpin’ on BUOY for the first time, I made this commitment to immerse myself in God’s journey with His people. Not as a student, not as part of a Bible study with a group, not as a daily devotional over the course of a year. Not as a follo…

Deuteronomy 11:7 But it was your own eyes that saw all these great things the Lord has done. In Verse 7 Moses calls out each Israelite on this journey as a first-person witness. I see this as saying... take responsibility for what you know about the power of God in your life. You are a first-person witness. When we make that divine decision to love…

Shaw & Tenney has been supplying traditional, heirloom quality oars and paddles since 1858. As the second oldest manufacturer of marine products in the U.S., little has changed over those 165 years. In fact, the company has only been owned by three families until this summer when Neil Gutekunst took the reins. A Marine Corps veteran, Neil is not af…

Episode 65. I bookmarked God. It was my personalized assurance that He was important, and it did short-term wonders for sending my guilt into hibernation. By bookmarking, I was acknowledging His importance, and my commitment to return to Him. Just give me a little more time on my own... out there, Lord. Matthew 9:9 As Jesus went on from there, He s…

For God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son... (John 3:16) Begotten as a little boy who weighed 7 lbs. by the estimate of scholars. Begotten as the Son who God knew in heaven before He was born on earth. Begotten as a boy who God placed in Mary’s womb, to grow up and save the world at age 33. Jesus left His heavenly home with all its …

So, I am seeking to understand the power of unity, the power of completeness—how all the attributes of God’s character represent His love. That loving Him is about the power of His Nature. I seek in this giving season to love others in the fullness of Christ’s character, to “give” the fruit of His Spirit to others as we celebrate the birth of Jesus…

Episode 62 initiates a three-episode journey leading up to and celebrating the birth of a baby boy in Bethlehem. A journey driven by this question: how do I give to others in this season? How does my witness motivate me, and motivate you, to love your way through this season, with a spiritual robustness that we have not experienced before. Every se…

Episode 61. I Will Continue to Live Alongside You, Human (the power of bringing devotion to my witness) 1 Corinthians 7:35 This I say for your own benefit; not to put a restraint upon you, but to promote what is appropriate and to secure undistracted devotion to the Lord. In this context “devotion” means: to sit near, to attend assiduously, to be i…

With the dawn of the iconic flying boat, Trans-Pacific travel that once measured in weeks by ship could be accomplished in only days. These island-hopping aircraft were passports to worlds that were once only seen in books. Travel is different these days, but there are a handful of dedicated aviators who are keeping that dream alive and their stori…

I am thinking about mashed potatoes. And Martha’s sister, Mary. Luke 10: 41-42 English Standard Version 41 But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, 42 but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.” Jesus refers to Mary as having chosen the “goo…

My own conscience is fallible, but God is incapable of falling. The devil fell from heaven. Humanity fell from a position of purity. I fall short of the “fullness of my faith” God’s omniscience provides divine footing for my soul. It serves as solid ground for my continued assurance that the God that holds my salvation—our salvation—continually red…

Sometimes I like to just rest in the simplicity of a letter from one early Christian to another. Yes, the amazing apostle Paul and the steadfast Titus, but still... a correspondence in those early days when Jesus had not been long resurrected and the disciples + the 70 + so many others began to build the early body of believers. This letter is part…

I woke up thinking, I need to pay attention to comfort. I need to pay attention to the Great Comforter in my life. God. Jesus. And the Holy Spirit. And I need to name it because I do not seek comfort naturally. I seek independence. The Greek word for Comforter means "one called alongside." The reason for one being called alongside is to give aid an…

Liz Wardly has done everything in the world of sailing: World Championships, The Fastnet, Sydney to Hobart and four editions of The Ocean Race. So, what is she doing lining up at the start line of the Atlantic Challenge, the 3000 mile row from The Canary Islands to Antigua? We caught up with Liz in between training rows and prepping for the race to…

Matthew 5:3 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Jesus speaks, no, fills the impoverished spirit created within each of us when we face this, the human condition: We must confess our sinfulness. We cannot buy worthiness with good works. We have nothing of spiritual worth to offer God. Yet, we have a spiritual debt…

Revering God is about turning away from the fears created by man and seeking God’s sovereignty for our lives. We have the power through our free will to turn away from self-made fears. It is ours to do. Because God has not given us the spirit of fear. 2 Timothy 1:7 “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a s…

After a quick summer break, ATB returned to the studio to find our show was removed from Apple Podcasts. A couple frantic weeks later, we're back and better than ever! Listen here for the whole story. In case you missed it, check out our latest episode, Ep. 80: Life on Sweet Day.

It’s My Birthday Week (with a gift for you to share with someone you love) This is my birthday week, and I have a gift for you. A short BIRTHDAY BUOY that you can “gift” to someone in your life (and keep gifting) along your way. Psalm 139. Because God knew each of us before we were conceived. Thank you Lord for making me who I am, in your image. En…

The waiting, and watching for Jesus, is not a distraction, it is a divine anticipation that prioritizes our earthly service to others. The emotional, mental and physical battles we face every day, when our human nature is never quite redeemed, never quite claims the victory in our daily earth-grind. All that will be left behind. Think earth-grind c…

Jesus speaks of His heavenly home, His Father’s mansion of many rooms. John 14:2-4 2 My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way…

The year 2020 was all about pivoting. Almost overnight, we went from leaving the house for work, school and socializing to working, learning and socializing from home via phone calls and video chats. As the world started to open again, many people took the opportunity to cast off from shore and find a new adventure after being cooped up for so long…

Anxiety, fear, worry, depression, weakness, sadness, grief, despair. These are real human battles. But we have God’s voice in our ear when we return to His Word, and let it connect us to our joy. Here’s my testimony: I would lay my earthly life down for this spiritual truth—there is no anxiety, no defeated mindset in the presence of Jesus. Because …

Helping people grow is about a simple spiritual perspective. It is about being the external affirmation, the spiritual prompt that Jesus calls us to be. When someone is wanting to, trying to, so close to, changing something (this is called growing) there isn’t anything more important for me to do than to demonstrate the assurance of God throu how I…
  continue reading
 
So much of life happens on aisle seven. When we take on the God things in our lives, Jesus gives us all the conveniences of spiritual growth to serve others. Through one action of the heart: Our commitment to Christ’s grace, which is divine convenience paid in full: we do nothing and receive everything through Him. His grace. My gratitude. See ya o…

Like who? I want my witness to dwell in the power of chapter six, to appeal to God to strengthen me—and chapter 13, to appeal to God to preserve my efforts in His name for His glory. When I have answered to my calling and diversions try to slow my momentum, or I find myself starting again... like Nehemiah. Building that wall, rallying God’s chosen,…
  continue reading
 
Nehemiah. I want to start in the middle of his story. Because sometimes what we learn is best introduced from the middle working outward in both directions... That my witness is in the middle of the story. That we meet people in the middle of their story. Nehemiah 6:3 3 so I sent messengers to them with this reply: “I am carrying on a great project…

It is important to me to internalize, to hardwire the power of two truths into my faith walk: One: the first and last of God’s nature, that he was the word, he had the first word in creating the creation, that Jesus was with Him ,and then Jesus became flesh. Jesus has the last word through his sacrifice, ascension, and return. Two: The power of giv…

What is adoration in my witness right now? I should affirm this. I love defining it by walking in the spiritual footsteps of Mary Magdalene: - Doing whatever it takes to be at life’s banquet with Jesus. - Bringing my gratitude to His feet. Kneeling at the altar of when He chose me. - Caring for His love for me, with the spiritual gifts He gave me, …

I am returning to what faith is today, frankly because I encounter a lot of people who have not done the work to understand what faith actually means. And. To grow in my understanding about why God, why His Son Jesus and the apostles tell us to return to God’s word, to pray without ceasing, to love unconditionally. Because He is convicting me throu…

In video footage of Good Energy making its way across the Pacific I noticed a banner on it that says, “Live Beyond Land.” To me, that is when we realize our spiritual swim is longer than we had charted, and the water is deeper. We commit to an attentive heart that goes where God goes. The challenges are constantly changing. It is a place beyond sur…

This is a journey of 2,225 miles on open water. And a mother’s heart. It is about trusting God and something He has created, the Pacific Ocean. It is about trusting God with my son. Join us. My son, on the Pacific Ocean. And me on a spirit-sail while he makes his first major crossing. I said to him before they sailed: “I am coming with you; I am al…
