In April 1954, a group of first graders lined up in the gymnasium of an elementary school in McLean, Virginia for the start of the Salk polio vaccine trials. In an era before widespread federal government involvement in public health, the National Institute of Infantile Paralysis executed an unprecedented experiment involving nearly 2 million children and tens of thousands of doctors, nurses, and volunteers. It was the largest peacetime mobilization in American history.While scientists evaluated the results, Americans waited anxiously to find out whether the vaccine was safe and effective, putting an end to 40 years of fear. But in the spring of 1955, a shocking revelation would bring the vaccination program to a sudden halt.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

mar.En: The path wound its way along the coast, revealing spectacular views of the sea.Ca: Però també es tornava més complicat, amb pendents rocosos i trams estrets que deixaven veure el mar des de

Episode 2873: Seth Sinclair explores why "people problems" feel so uncomfortable, and how our emotional brain sabotages us in difficult conversations. Drawing on insights from Crucial Conversations and Daniel Goleman's "amygdala hijack," he offers a practical first step to stop conflict before it spirals: recognize the emotional surge early and plan your approach with empathy and intention. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://michaelmehlberg.com/blog/2016/3/2/3-steps-to-conquering-people-problems Quotes to ponder: "We can quickly build up a lot of anxiety and anger, even before we have all of the facts or a chance to reflect on what is going happening." "We unconsciously start to build assumptions about why the other person is wrong, why they are a jerk, why we are right, and why we feel we should 'win' this issue." "Here are three basic strategies you can start using right away to get better results: avoid getting caught off guard, learn to pay attention to yourself, and seek to bring out the best in the other person."

Send us a textBrent and Kyle's story is rooted in life-shaping experiences that led them to become who they are today.Kyle was born with cerebral palsy, leaving him with full cognitive ability but very limited physical mobility. He lives life in a wheelchair and requires assistance with daily tasks like eating. Brent is Kyle's older brother, and they grew up in a household where their family never accepted limitations on what was possible for Kyle.Today, Brent acts as Kyle's legs so Kyle can compete in some of the world's most challenging endurance events — including the IRONMAN World Championship (140.6 miles) and the Boston Marathon among several others. Not only are they completing these races as a push-assist duo, they've also raised millions through The Kyle Pease Foundation to give other individuals with disabilities the chance to experience their own finish-line moments. Their efforts also support inclusive employment opportunities for people with disabilities who, like Kyle, deserve meaningful roles and visibility.We had a great conversation and you will love this inspiring episode!

By the late 1940s, the National Institute of Infantile Paralysis had raised millions of dollars to pay for patient care and laboratory research. But polio cases were reaching record levels, and scientists were no closer to a cure. Frustrated by the slow progress, Basil O'Connor resolved to recruit fresh talent to the cause. He soon found what he was looking for in a young and energetic researcher named Jonas Salk.In 1951, Salk began testing a killed virus polio vaccine on monkeys in his Pittsburgh lab. His research soon put him at odds with the leading polio scientist Albert Sabin, who wanted his own live virus vaccine formula to prevail. As their rivalry escalated, Salk prepared to take the risky step of testing his vaccine on human subjects.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Fr. Joseph Johnson joins Patrick to discuss Conquering Pride (3:13) Why is pride at the root of all sin? The subtlety of pride (14:16) Valerie - At OCIA...one of the ladies I was with is very humble and I told her that. I think if you're humble, you're void of pride. (21:09) Break 1 Email from Jared - How do we know when pride becomes a mortal sin? What are some tips for recognizing pride in our life? (27:45) Tom - I have a nephew who is a Jesuit. He is such an example of gentleness and a quiet example of humility. It speaks louder than any preaching others do. Noah - I make decent money and I'm looking forward to moving to my previous job where I was happy. I think I was just a little too prideful on being a high earner instead of being humble. Looking for some guidance with this on what to do. Should I stay where I'm at or go where I'm happy? (34:16) Email – how does gratitude fight pride? (36:36) Break 2 How does trust help us to grow in humility? (41:56) Nick - I've learned that life is a battle...no winning/no losing. I know I have a fight. Even though I think I'm a good Catholic, it's still a fight. I still have to fight to fight. Greg - When I read the bible, things that have a message to be shared, but never get a chance to do that. Not that I have pride, but it's something to be talked about.

In the summer of 1921, 39-year-old Franklin Delano Roosevelt was on vacation with his family when he developed a fever, muscle aches, and chills. Pain spread to his legs, and soon, he was paralyzed from the waist down. Doctors diagnosed him with polio, which was fast becoming America's most dreaded infectious disease.Every summer, polio struck without warning, causing swimming pools and movie theaters to close and panicked parents to keep their children indoors. Polio killed thousands of Americans each year and paralyzed many more. But scientists had no idea how to stop it.Roosevelt and his friend and colleague Basil O'Connor resolved to change that, launching the March of Dimes, a revolutionary fundraising campaign that galvanized millions of Americans to donate their time and money to the fight against polio.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Meera asked.Hi: "हाँ, बिल्कुल," अर्जुन ने मुस्कुराते हुए कहा, लेकिन उसके आवाज़ में एक छोटी सी घबराहट थी।En: "Yes, absolutely," Arjun said with a smile, but there was a slight nervousness in his voice.Hi: प्रकृति अभियान की शुरुआत हुई और सभी बच्चे अपने मार्गदर्शक के पीछे चल पड़े।En: The nature expedition began and all the children moved forward behind their guide.Hi: थोड़ी देर बाद, मार्गदर्शक ने उन्हें एक पगडंडी की तरफ इशारा करते हुए बताया कि यह रास्ता एक सुंदर viewpoint तक ले जाता है।En: After a while, the guide pointed towards a trail and told them that this path leads to a beautiful viewpoint.Hi: अर्जुन का दिल धड़क उठा।En: Arjun's heart started to race.Hi: "चलो, अर्जुन! यह एक जबरदस्त मौका है," मीरा ने कहा।En: "Come on, Arjun! This is a terrific opportunity," Meera said.Hi: अर्जुन सोच में पड़ गया।En: Arjun became thoughtful.Hi: अब उसकी परेशानी बढ़ गई थी।En: Now his worry had increased.Hi: "मुझे नहीं लगता मैं कर पाऊँगा," अर्जुन ने धीमी आवाज़ में कहा।En: "I don't think I can do it," Arjun said in a low voice.Hi: मीरा ने तुरंत उसकी पीठ थपथपाई, "डरना मत। हम छोटे कदमों से शुरू करेंगे। एक-एक कदम आगे बढ़ाओ।"En: Meera immediately patted his back, "Don't be afraid. We'll start with small steps. Move forward one step at a time."Hi: अर्जुन ने गहरी सांस ली और मीरा की बात मानकर पगडंडी पर बढ़ने का निर्णय किया।En: Arjun took a deep breath and decided to follow Meera's advice by heading onto the trail.Hi: जैसे-जैसे वह ऊपर की ओर बढ़ा, उसके मन में डर का बादल छाना शुरू हो गया।En: As he moved upwards, a cloud of fear started to gather in his mind.Hi: अचानक, मीरा ने उसे रोक दिया, "अर्जुन, अपनी सांसों पर ध्यान दो। शांति से सांस लो।"En: Suddenly, Meera stopped him, "Arjun, focus on your breaths. Breathe calmly."Hi: मीरा के निर्देश पर अर्जुन ने अपनी सांसों को संयमित किया।En: Following Meera's instructions, Arjun regulated his breathing.Hi: ध्यान केन्द्रित करने से उसका डर कुछ कम हुआ।En: Focusing helped lessen his fear.Hi: फिर वे दोनों मिलकर आगे बढ़ते गए।En: Then both of them continued moving forward.Hi: आखिरकार, अर्जुन viewpoint पर पहुँच गया।En: Finally, Arjun reached the viewpoint.Hi: नीचे घाटियों की breathtaking दृश्य देखकर उसकी सांसें थम गईं।En: Seeing the breathtaking view of the valleys below, his breath was taken away.Hi: वहाँ की हवा एक अलग ही स्फूर्ति से भरी हुई थी।En: The air there was filled with a unique vitality.Hi: अर्जुन ने भीतर से गर्व महसूस किया।En: Arjun felt a sense of pride from within.Hi: इस अनुभव ने उसे सिखाया कि डर पर काबू पाने के लिए आत्म-विश्वास और साथियों का समर्थन कितना जरूरी है।En: This experience taught him how essential confidence and the support of friends are in overcoming fear.Hi: अर्जुन ने अपनी कमियों के बजाय अपनी ताकतों को पहचाना और ऐसी उपलब्धि प्राप्त की जिस पर न केवल उसे, बल्कि उसकी सारी मित्र मंडली को भी गर्व था।En: Arjun recognized his strengths instead of his shortcomings and achieved an accomplishment that not only he but his entire circle of friends was proud of.Hi: अब, वह पर्वत की ऊंची चोटी की ओर देखता और मुस्कुराता, जैसे कह रहा हो, "मैं आ गया हूँ!"En: Now, he looked up at the high peaks of the mountains and smiled, as if saying, "I have arrived!"

Texts: Genesis 49:10; 2 Samuel 7:12-16; Isaiah 9:6-7; Zechariah 9:9; Matthew 21:1-11; Colossians 2:11-15; Revelation 19:11-16 Jesus is the Promised King (Gen. 49:10; 2 Sam. 7:12-16; Is. 9:6-7) Jesus is the promised ruler that would come from the tribe of Judah to fulfill the Davidic covenant as the One who would reign forever with justice and righteousness. Jesus is the Savior King (Zech. 9:9; Matt. 21:1-11) Jesus is the Savior who triumphantly rode into Jerusalem in fulfillment of prophecy to eventually die on the cross for our sins. Jesus is the Savior whose reign results in our salvation. Jesus is the Victorious King (Col. 2:11-15; Rev. 19:11-16) Jesus is the King who triumphed over sin and Satan so that we may be alive in Him. Jesus is the undisputed King of kings and Lord of lords who reigns victoriously over all. Application: Because Jesus is our conquering King, we are more than conquerors through Him and will never be separated from His love! (Romans 8:37-39)
We all long for a leader who won't let us down. History is full of people who started strong but ultimately fell short. Even Israel's greatest kings—Saul, David, and Solomon—couldn't give people what they most needed. Their lives were shadows pointing to something more. At Christmas, we celebrate that the true King has come. It's more than a sentimental story—it's the arrival of God's promised King. God gave us not just a baby in a manger, but a great King who will reign forever. This Christmas season, we'll celebrate the long-anticipated King who doesn't rise and fall but reigns forever, the King our souls long for. Let's prepare our hearts to welcome Him.

One day—and it's a very alarming day—you realize that the only thing keeping you from having the life (and love life) you want is fear. You're scared of something, perhaps a few things (we all are), and that's what's holding you back from success, growth, freedom and especially intimacy. We need to have a frank and honest conversation about fear and how to conquer our respective anchors, for if we don't, we'll stay stuck and single. This is the final installment of a 7-part series where Roy offers answers to the 7 questions found in his newest book, Quantum Questions: How Answering 7 Radical Questions Leads to Attracting a Healthy, Lasting, Intimate Relationship. This episode discusses the seventh question in the book, What Would I Do If I Wasn't Scared? If you want to attract lasting love, finding the freedom to be brave is critically necessary.

John the Baptist and the Second Sunday of Advent, Year A 2025 Gospel Matthew 3:1-12 John the Baptist appeared, preaching in the desert of Judea and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" It was of him that the prophet Isaiah had spoken when he said: A voice of one crying out in the desert, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths. John wore clothing made of camel's hair and had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. At that time Jerusalem, all Judea, and the whole region around the Jordan were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the Jordan River as they acknowledged their sins. When he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce good fruit as evidence of your repentance. And do not presume to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you, God can raise up children to Abraham from these stones. Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. I am baptizing you with water, for repentance, but the one who is coming after me is mightier than I. I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in his hand. He will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."

In this sermon from Matthew 17, we see Jesus teach His disciples why some breakthroughs never come—because this kind only comes out by prayer and fasting. Pastor Chris preaches on demonic strongholds, the devil's strategies, and the supernatural resistance we face in prayer. More importantly, he shows the key to overcoming: faith, prayer, fasting, and desperate dependence on God.PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION:• Subscribe for only $3/month on Supercast: https://taking-the-land.supercast.com/• Subscribe for only $3.99/month on Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/taking-the-land/subscribe• Subscribe for only $4.99/month on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4owjo5ZIf you need breakthrough in salvation, finances, healing, or fruitfulness, this message will challenge you to seek God until mountains move.Chapters0:00 – Intro: Next-Gen Friday0:35 – Scripture Reading (Matthew 17)2:26 – The Mountains We Face: Salvation, Finances, Healing4:46 – Demonic Strongholds Explained7:06 – Hierarchy of Demonic Powers9:21 – Facing “This Kind” of Demon11:20 – Daniel's Prayer and Delayed Answer13:30 – Angels, Resistance, and Spiritual Warfare15:56 – Don't Give Up Too Soon in Prayer17:51 – The Devil's Devices and Strategy20:09 – Resistance Always Follows Breakthrough21:42 – Posture of Resistance: Be Militant in Prayer24:01 – Why “This Kind” Requires Prayer and Fasting26:05 – The Power of Desperation27:35 – Fasting: Struggles and Reality Check29:09 – Testimonies of Breakthrough Through Fasting31:21 – Desperation That Leads to Salvation33:33 – Why Fasting Must Be a Lifestyle35:45 – Faith Like a Mustard Seed Moves Mountains36:58 – The Finger of God Flicks Away Demons39:00 – Connected to God's Power Through Fasting41:00 – Lifestyle vs. Ritual Fasting42:00 – Closing Call: Conquering Mountains in PrayerShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

December 1, 1564. Spanish vessels left a secret port in Mexico about two weeks ago. Their goal: to sail across the Pacific and back, charting a new route for international trade, and giving Spain an edge against its chief colonial rival, Portugal. But today, when a storm hits, the smallest ship is separated from the rest of the fleet. Now, that ship, the San Lucas, is on its own. The following year, when the San Lucas makes it back to Mexico, against all odds, its pilot—a Black mariner—is accused of treason. How did the San Lucas—the smallest ship in the fleet—complete a near-impossible journey that would connect the world? And how did the trailblazing mariner Lope Martín get erased from the story? Special thanks to our guest, Andrés Reséndez, author of Conquering the Pacific: An Unknown Mariner and the Final Great Voyage of the Age of Discovery. ** This episode originally aired November 29, 2021.
