There is a wildflower growing somewhere along the path you walk every day — and there is a good chance you have never noticed it. Life moves quickly, and worry has a way of pulling our eyes inward and downward, fixing our gaze on everything that feels uncertain while the quiet wonders of God's creation bloom unnoticed all around us. But what if slowing down long enough to truly see them could change something in us? Jesus didn't point His followers to a theological argument to ease their anxiety — He pointed them to a flower. Consider the lilies, He said. Look at how God has dressed the fields in a glory that surpasses even Solomon's finest robes, without any striving or toiling on their part. If the Creator tends to the wildflowers with such extravagant care, how much more does He tend to you? The world around us is full of these quiet sermons — a bird in flight, a rainstorm, a patch of flowers left untouched at the edge of a field — each one a whisper from the God who provides. Today is an invitation to slow down, lift your eyes, and let the hidden wonders of creation do what Jesus always intended them to do: draw your heart away from worry and back to trust in the One who holds it all. Today's Bible Verse "And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?" — Matthew 6:28-30, ESV Ponder Today Worry pulls our eyes inward, but wonder lifts them outward — when we pause to notice the beauty God has woven into creation, our anxiety begins to loosen its grip. Jesus used the simplest things — wildflowers, birds, rainstorms — to teach the most profound spiritual truths about God's faithful provision and care. The world around us is filled with quiet testimonies of God's love; the question is whether we are moving slowly enough to notice them. If God clothes the grass of the field with such extravagant beauty, how much more does He care for the details of our lives — including the ones we are most anxious about? Seeking the Kingdom of God first begins with small acts of attention — noticing, pausing, and allowing creation to preach its daily sermon to our worried hearts. Today's Prayer Lord of the flowers and birds, open my eyes to the hidden wonders You have placed all around me. Far too often I rush past the reminders of Your love and care, too consumed by worry to notice what You are saying through the world You created. Grant me eyes that truly see and ears that hear the testimony of Your creation. Awaken me again to the wonder of knowing You — my Creator, my Provider, and my Savior. In Your name, Jesus, I pray. Amen. Enjoy Today's Prayer? If this episode encouraged you, we'd love to stay connected!

How we think about toughness needs a reset. Too often, it's been associated with brute forcing our way through things. Ignoring our feelings. Making an outward show of confidence and dominance. The problem is it just doesn't work. Performance coach and bestselling author, Steve Magness, offers another way. He's done a deep dive on the latest research on toughness and performance. In his book, Do Hard Things: Why We Get Resilience Wrong and The Surprising Science of Real Toughness, he discusses the misconceptions of our current model. Then he offers a new one informed by the latest in neuroscience and psychology research. Along the way, he translates research findings into practical steps we can take to make the shift. If you're a performance junkie, you'll gain a lot from this interview. You can also apply his ideas to managing your teams. If you enjoy Steve's approach, check out my previous interview with him on finding your passion at work and in life, episode 142.

Wren returns to the Hall of Hidden Wonders - a magical place that feels alive, changing each time she visits. The man in the green coat is waiting, and today he has a challenge: find her spark, the gift that proves she belongs here.

Sitka's Hidden Wonders, 43min., USA Directed by Ben Hamilton Sitka's Hidden Wonders is a 40-minute theatrical nature film that blends sweeping cinematography with a deeply personal story of return. Told by award–winning wildlife filmmaker Ben Hamilton, the film explores what it means to truly see a place—through the hidden layers of one of Alaska's wildest coastal ecosystems. https://www.wildsound.ca/videos/audience-feedback-sitkas-hidden https://instagram.com/sitkawonders What motivated you to make this film? Every summer, over 600,000 people visit Sitka, but most just walk around town and never see the incredible natural wonders all around us. I wanted to create a film that connects them to this place—beyond the shops and the docks—into the wild heart of Sitka. After years of filming here for networks like BBC and National Geographic, this was my chance to make something for Sitka itself. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film? The film took two years of full-time work, plus a year of planning and permits before that. And some shots were collected over the last decade—moments I'd been saving for the right project. How would you describe your film in two words!? Local. Connected. What was the biggest obstacle you faced in completing this film? The biggest obstacle was really time.  The focus and intensity it took to deliver a film like this while still being there for my small kids and wife. It meant weeks away in the field, long nights editing, and constantly trying to balance the work with family life.

Follow Atlas Obscura co-founder Dylan Thuras on a quest to discover South America's hidden wonders. From the Last Incan Bridge and the Machu Picchu of the North to the Everlasting Lightning Storm and a statue of a squid fighting a whale the size of the statue of liberty (yes, you read that right), this is an epic ride through Colombia, Venezuela, Bolivia and Peru's weirdest and wildest wonders. The stuff glittering in the shadows that you may never have heard of before, but you'll be desperate to see after. But it's more than that too. When we think of wonders of the world we think of The Grand Canyon, the Great Pyramids. These are undeniably awe-inspiring, but they're obvious. Everyone goes there, and all too often the experience and the destination suffer as result. Atlas Obscura's mission is to open our eyes to the wonders all around us, the bizarre, hilarious, incredible things that inspire our curiosity and make our jaws drop at the amazing world we share. Wonder is a state of mind, they say, not a place; and the more we look for it, the more it becomes a part of who we are. This is a quest to discover South America's hidden wonders, but we may just discover something hidden in ourselves too. “The problem of failing to recognise the magic in the world lies not with the world, but with us; and it is our job to turn ourselves into vessels of recognising that magic.”  - Dylan Thuras, co-founder Atlas Obscura  Highlights include: ·    Visit the Last Incan Bridge, an 120-foot long woven grass suspension bridge, straight out of Indiana Jones, which has been re-built every year for more than five centuries. ·    Stand at the base of Gocta Falls, the most incredible waterfall you've never heard of – twice the size of the Empire State Building. ·    See Venezuela's Everlasting Lightning Storm, the most electric place on the planet. ·    Meet the Colombian village who travel by home-made zip-line across the jungle. ·    Find out about the inspiration for Atlas Obscura, how it went from a childhood love of weird Midwestern roadside attractions to a global phenomenon and New York Times bestseller. ·    Hear about such crazy historical inventions as the cat piano, the vomiting statue and a language created entirely out of music ·    Learn how by changing our mindset we can escape the wonder deficit of the modern world and live more meaningful and extraordinary lives Atlas Obscura tells extraordinary stories about hidden places, incredible history, scientific marvels, and gastronomical wonders. ⁠www.atlasobscura.com⁠ / @atlasobscura  Dylan's book, ‘Atlas Obscura: An Explorer's Guide to the World's Hidden Wonders', is a No. 1 bestseller on Amazon and in the New York Times: ⁠https://www.atlasobscura.com/unique-gifts/atlas-obscura-book⁠ This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

Host Diana Korte speaks with New Zealand-born, Australia-raised, Brooklyn-based writer Ella Morton  who co-authored the first title in this book collection, the “Atlas Obscura: An Explorer's Guide To The World's Hidden Wonders.” For sure this is not your usual travel guide. In a 2017 conversation with me, Ella describes the book's beginnings and how it came to be filled with some 700 sights you've likely not seen. Not many people have. Such as the Stairway to Heaven in Hawaii, the secret apartment in the Eiffel Tower and that flaming hole in the Turkmenistan desert.

hidden among the buildings.Nl: Dit was de Urban Jungle, vol met weelderige tropische planten en de geur van natte aarde.En: This was the Urban Jungle, full of lush tropical plants and the smell of wet earth.Nl: De lucht was vochtig en warm, een schril contrast met de herfstkou buiten.En: The air was humid and warm, a sharp contrast to the autumn chill outside.Nl: Thijs, een toegewijde botanicus, stond stil, luisterend naar het geluid van de regen die langzaam zwaarder werd.En: Thijs, a dedicated botanist, stood still, listening to the sound of the rain as it gradually became heavier.Nl: Hij had verhalen gehoord over een zeldzame orchidee, misschien diep verborgen ergens hier.En: He had heard stories about a rare orchid, possibly hidden deep somewhere here.Nl: Vandaag hoopte hij het met eigen ogen te zien.En: Today, he hoped to see it with his own eyes.Nl: In de buurt merkte Marit, een nieuwsgierige journalist, het spel van licht en schaduwen op dat de storm op de koepel tekende.En: Nearby, Marit, a curious journalist, noticed the play of light and shadows that the storm cast on the dome.Nl: Ze was hier om een verhaal te maken over hoe zulke groene plekken in de stad een oase van rust konden zijn.En: She was here to write a story about how such green spaces in the city could be an oasis of peace.Nl: Plotseling barstte een donderslag los, gevolgd door een flits.En: Suddenly, a

druppels.En: The flashlight illuminated glistening leaves and sparkling droplets here and there.Nl: Na wat een eeuwigheid leek, gebeurde het.En: After what felt like an eternity, it happened.Nl:

easy," Thijs said softly.Nl: "Neem je tijd.En: "Take your time.Nl: Het licht is perfect."En: The light is perfect."Nl: Met trillende handen maakte Marit de foto.En: With trembling hands, Marit took the photo.Nl: De storm buiten leek op hetzelfde moment zijn hoogtepunt te bereiken.En: At that moment, the storm outside seemed to reach its peak.Nl: Het was een magisch moment, vastgelegd in een fractie van een seconde.En: It was a magical moment, captured in a fraction of a second.Nl: Toen, alsof de natuur tevreden was, kalmeerde de regen en hield de donder op.En: Then, as if nature was satisfied, the rain calmed, and the thunder ceased.Nl: Een rust daalde over de tuin.En: A peace descended over the garden.Nl: De stroom kwam langzaam terug en het zachte licht vulde de koepel opnieuw.En: The power slowly returned, and the soft light filled the dome again.Nl: Thijs en Marit keken elkaar aan met een gevoel van triomf en verbondenheid.En: Thijs and Marit looked at each other with a sense of triumph and connection.Nl: Voor Thijs had hij niet alleen de orchidee gevonden, maar ook een onverwachte bondgenoot in zijn passie.En: For Thijs, he had not only found the orchid but

Catharine immediately sprung into action to help her sister research alkaline foods and in the process she discovered algae. When Catharine learned that algae was the most alkaline, plant-based, nutrient-dense food in the world and had been used for fifty years in Asia to improve health and longevity, she knew she had discovered something big (and yes, her sister fully recovered - thanks for asking).As Catharine dug into the science of algae, she learned it had 64% protein, 40 vitamins/minerals and was endorsed by the United Nations and NASA as the most nutrient dense food in the world. She also discovered there were 100,000 studies documenting its long list of benefits and it was the most sustainable, eco-friendly food crop in the world. And yet algae remained virtually unknown outside of Asia. How could this be possible? Catharine knew algae could be a game changer for our health, our children and our world if she could only convince people it wasn't weird. And so ENERGYbits was born.Episode Chapters:(0:00:01) - The Algae Angel's Mission(0:11:23) - Healing Power of Algae and Diets(0:21:39) - Algae and Mitochondria(0:35:48) - Phycocyanin in Spirulina(0:44:33) - Benefits of Algae for HealthPlease join Julie next week with your question.Thursdays at 8pm ET, 7pm CT, 5pm PT.https://askjulieryanshow.comAnd, please leave a five-star review and subscribe so you can hear all the new episodes.Sponsors & RecommendationsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Grab a cup of hot chocolate and cozy up by the fire for this episode of The Storied Outdoors as Brad Hill reads “Hidden Wonders,” a short story written by Dr. Bryan Gill. “Hidden Wonders” follows the Heatherford's, a family whose plans were thwarted by an unexpected blizzard that grounded all southbound flights out of New York—including theirs. With limited options, they decide to drop in on their eccentric Uncle Doc for the holidays. While this was not their original plan for Christmas, it might just be the one they needed to restore their children's fading Christmas spirit. We hope you enjoy this story and have a Merry Christmas!

The gang looks on in horror as Shaun leads a mystery segment, though it ends up going just fine. Also, Chris relies on his memory of the past, Dave changes his mind last minute, and Shaun tries to keep track of the score.

How we think about toughness needs a reset. Too often, it's been associated with brute forcing our way through things. Ignoring our feelings. Making an outward show of confidence and dominance. The problem is it just doesn't work. Performance coach and bestselling author, Steve Magness, offers another way. He's done a deep dive on the latest research on toughness and performance. In his book, Do Hard Things: Why We Get Resilience Wrong and The Surprising Science of Real Toughness, he discusses the misconceptions of our current model. Then he offers a new one informed by the latest in neuroscience and psychology research. Along the way, he translates research findings into practical steps we can take to make the shift. If you're a performance junkie, you'll gain a lot from this interview. You can also apply his ideas to managing your teams. If you enjoy Steve's approach, check out my previous interview with him on finding your passion at work and in life, episode 142.

“Once I started medical school and my scalpel met the cadaver's skin, I discovered that exploring the body felt quite similar to exploring the outside world.”  –Jonathan Reisman In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and Jonathan talk about how doctors and travel writers and both be generalists, and how travel puts can put us into a new relationship with our bodies (1:30); what travel to a place like India can teach you about toilet hygiene (7:00); what eating unfamiliar or strange-seeming food on a journey can teach you about the body (15:00); culturally specific ideas about fat, eating fat, and the idea of being fat (21:00); what Americans are getting wrong about health, nutrition, technology, and the human body (31:00); how the pineal gland regulates sleep, and what we know about it (35:00); and how travel helps us understand how our bodies work (42:00).

"It turns out that living beings are less like bags of sloshing water, as I imagined in grade school, and more like a stew. While water makes up most of it, water alone is thin and empty of the organic molecules from which organisms are built—the stew thickeners. Water alone is lifeless. Instead, it is the mucus in our bodies that—so long as it has the correct qualities and consistency—is the key to a healthy life. The 'fact' that our bodies are made mostly of water is misleading. What we are actually made of is mucus." Jonathan Reisman is an internal medicine-pediatrics physician and author of The Unseen Body: A Doctor's Journey Through the Hidden Wonders of Human Anatomy. He shares his story and discusses his KevinMD article, "We are actually made of mucus." Did you enjoy today's episode? Rate and review the show so more audiences can find The Podcast by KevinMD.

If Easter is a Christian celebration of the resurrection of Christ, how did the Easter Bunny become part of it? This episode begins by explaining where rabbits fit into Easter and where the Easter basket came from. Source: The History of Easter https://www.phancypages.com/newsletter/ZNewsletter2599.htm How the human body works is a marvel. Joining me to explain and take us on a tour of parts of the human body is Dr. Jonathan Resiman, a doctor of internal medicine and pediatrics and he is author of the book The Unseen Body: A Doctor's Journey Through the Hidden Wonders of Human Anatomy (https://amzn.to/37vUz8u). Listen as he explains about body parts and bodily fluids - and why urine is his favorite bodily fluid. Typically, doctors stick to science when it comes to dealing with their patients. Sometimes though, they encounter things that science can't explain - such as medical miracles or things that happen that are just too weird to be coincidences. Dr. Scott Kolbaba is one of those doctors who has had some strange experiences, so he decided to talk with other doctors to see if they did as well. And they sure did! Scott is author of a book called Physicians Untold Stories: Miraculous Experiences Doctors are Hesitant to Share with their Patients or Anyone (https://amzn.to/3v7Ci9O). He joins me to share some of these remarkable stories with you.  It is natural to worry - just not all the time. Especially since so much of what we worry about never actually happens. Listen as I reveal how one expert puts worry in the proper perspective. Source: Dr. Martin Rossman author of The Worry Solution (https://amzn.to/3xmjZAs) PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
