S2E5: More Than Mindful with Kat Cannon

S2E5: More Than Mindful with Kat Cannon

In today’s episode of The Turquoise Table, host Kristin Schell interviews Kat Cannon, who has just written her ninth Bible study called More than Mindful: What God Tells Us to Remember. 

In the Old Testament, one of the first instances of remembering is when God asks for all to remember his name. Kat and Kristin discuss the importance of names and the naming stories in their own lives.




Show Notes

In today’s episode of The Turquoise Table, host Kristin Schell interviews Kat Cannon, who has just written her ninth Bible study called More than Mindful: What God Tells Us to Remember. She is a passionate student of scripture and an energetic communicator. Kat has an incredible gift to connect God’s truth to the real and everyday world we live in.

Kat conducted a word study on how many times in the Bible God said to remember something, as a means of simplifying often quite scholarly studies, books and sermons. She explains how the Bible contains verses on what God wanted his people to remember. This is followed very closely by a description of how they should remember through action or attitude.  

An example in scripture that Kat describes is Jesus asking to be remembered for his sacrifice by instituting communion, which is drinking wine and eating bread in community. In the Old Testament, one of the first instances of remembering is when God asks for all to remember his name. Kat and Kristin discuss the importance of names and the naming stories in their own lives.

Creating Conversation

Kat has created her Bible study in community with other people and God, and she hopes to create conversation around God’s word. Her questions are very open ended. For example, they allow for people to describe how they feel when called by name. Doing so helps them to understand truth from many people’s perspectives. 

Living in the information age, knowledge is often equated to power, and Kat explains that she sees this creep into the church. Some people believe that if they study harder and go to seminary, it will help them know God better, but that only lets a person know about God. Kat explains how truth can be knowing a person rather than a body of facts, and this can change the world. Simply remembering God’s name and that Jesus says to love him and one another, but doing so in a more than mindful way, will get us pretty far. It is not about how much you know; it’s about remembering and acting in line with what little you do know. 

Key Takeaways in Today’s Episode:

  • 7:30 The Hebrew concept of remembering is closely tied to action and obedience. 
  • 14:03 God introduces himself with his personal name when he speaks to Moses, which translates to “I am”. 
  • 36:00 Together we know God better than any of us could on our own. 
  • 39:40 Community means carrying each other’s burdens.

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
