Exodus 24:12-18
Reflections From The Mountains Psalm 121:1-2 “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.” As I spent time in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado this past week, I found myself thinking about how often God uses His creation to teach us about Himself. The towering peaks, the gentle streams, the cool mountain air, and the quiet stillness all seemed to slow my heart enough to hear what had been there all along.
When you think of American whiskey, Kentucky and Tennessee usually dominate the conversation. But back in 2006, a biochemist named David Perkins and his wife Jane decided to build a dream in the Mountains. Today, we're heading out West to Park City, Utah—a state not exactly known for its booming spirits scene—to look at a distillery that completely redefined modern craft blending: We will be covering the High West distillery on this… Bourbon Brief.

Welcome to Day 2917 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2917 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 147:1-11 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2917 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2917 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Architect of Stars and Restorer of Hearts – The Infinite Power and Tender Compassion of Yahweh On our previous expedition—on Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred Fifteen—we embarked on the grand, five-psalm crescendo known as the "Final Hallel," exploring the magnificent truths of Psalm One Hundred Forty-Six. We listened as the psalmist warned us against placing our trust in mortal princes whose breath departs and whose plans turn to dust, urging us instead to anchor our hope in the eternal God who made the heavens, the earth, and the sea. Today, as we step onto Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred Seventeen of our trek, we advance directly into the second glorious movement of this final doxology: Psalm One Hundred Forty-Seven, verses one through eleven. As we ascend this trail, we encounter a stunning theological paradox that will leave us in absolute awe. The psalmist places two mind-boggling realities side by side: the God who names every single star in the cosmic expanse is the very same God who gently binds up the bleeding wounds of brokenhearted refugees. Let us step onto this sacred path together and discover the staggering balance of Yahweh's infinite power and tender, intimate compassion. The first segment is: The Gentle Architect: Gathering Exiles and Healing Broken Hearts Let us open our ears to the joyful invitation that opens this psalm, as recorded in the New Living Translation, grouping together the deeply connected thoughts in verse one, verse two, and verse three. Praise the Lord! How good it is to sing praises to our God; how delightful and how fitting! The Lord is rebuilding Jerusalem and gathering the exiles of Israel. He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. The psalmist begins with an energetic, soul-stirring call to worship, exclaiming, “Praise the Lord! How good it is to sing praises to our God; how delightful and how fitting!” He then immediately connects this praise to the concrete, historical work of redemption, declaring, “The Lord is rebuilding Jerusalem and gathering the exiles of Israel. He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.” Notice how natural, beautiful, and fitting praise becomes when we truly grasp what Yahweh is doing in human history. The psalmist highlights God's historical restoration of His covenant people. After decades of bitter captivity in Babylon, where Jerusalem lay in blackened ruins and the people felt utterly abandoned, Yahweh personally steps into history to rebuild the holy city and gather the scattered exiles back to their ancestral home. To appreciate this through the ancient Israelite worldview, we must realize that when a nation was conquered and exiled, the surrounding pagan cultures believed that nation's god had been defeated by their own territorial idols. But Yahweh demonstrates that the exile was not His defeat; it was His discipline, and His gathering-back is His supreme triumph! Look at the exquisite tenderness of verse three: the grand King of the universe is not depicted as a harsh military warden marching soldiers into place. Instead, He is revealed as a compassionate, gentle physician, kneeling in the dust of human suffering. He tenderly takes those who are shattered in spirit—those crushed by trauma, exile, and grief—and He personally bandages their gaping wounds, pouring in the oil of His comfort and restoration. The second segment is: The Master of the Host: Sovereign Power and Divine Order The narrative now pivots from intimate, personal healing to staggering cosmic magnitude, combining the contiguous thoughts found in verse four, verse five, and verse six. He counts the stars and calls them all by name. How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension! The Lord lifts up the humble, but he casts the wicked to the ground. The psalmist takes our eyes off the ruined walls of Jerusalem and casts them upward into the night sky, proclaiming, “He counts the stars and calls them all by name. How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension! The Lord lifts up the humble, but he casts the wicked to the ground.” Think about the mind-boggling scale of this declaration! Modern astronomy tells us there are trillions upon trillions of stars scattered across billions of galaxies, yet the psalmist asserts that Yahweh not only knows the exact count of these celestial fires, but He has personally assigned an individual, intimate name to every single one of them! In the Ancient Israelite divine-council worldview, stars were frequently associated with the heavenly host—the spiritual beings, sons of God, and angelic rulers created by Yahweh to populate the celestial realm. Pagan nations worshipped these stellar bodies as independent deities, bowing down to astrologers and planetary omens. But the psalmist shatters all pagan idolatry! The stars are not independent gods; they are created entities under the absolute, sovereign authority of Yahweh. He marshals them like a commander roll-calling His army, and not a single star moves without His permission. His power is absolute, and His understanding is utterly beyond human or angelic measurement! Yet, look at verse six: this same infinite Cosmic Commander uses His absolute authority to execute perfect moral justice. He reaches down into human history to gently lift up the humble and oppressed, while throwing down the arrogant and wicked into the dust of defeat. The third segment is: The Song of Provision: Feeding Creation from the Clouds The psalmist now calls for a fresh wave of musical thanksgiving, weaving together the creation themes found in verse seven, verse eight, and verse nine. Sing out your thanks to the Lord; praise our God with the harp. He covers the heavens with clouds, provides rain for the earth, and makes the grass grow in the mountain pastures. He gives food to the wild animals and feeds the young ravens when they cry. The text erupts into musical joy once again, shouting, “Sing out your thanks to the Lord; praise our God with the harp.” The writer then paints a vivid, agricultural landscape, describing how Yahweh “covers the heavens with clouds, provides rain for the earth, and makes the grass grow in the mountain pastures. He gives food to the wild animals and feeds the young ravens when they cry.” Look at how effortlessly Yahweh manages the water cycles and ecosystems of the planet! In the ancient Near East, neighboring cultures lived in constant dread of drought, offering sacrifices to the storm god Baal in hopes of securing seasonal rain. But the psalmist declares that it is Yahweh—and Yahweh alone—who wraps the heavens in dark, moisture-rich storm clouds, sending life-giving rain upon the parched earth. Notice where the grass grows: on the “mountain pastures.” Mountains were often rocky, dry, and inaccessible to human farmers, yet God's care extends far beyond human agriculture into the untamed wilderness! He personally waters the high ridges so that wild animals have pasture. And look at the delicate detail in verse nine: He hears the harsh, squawking cries of helpless young ravens in their nests, and He personally provides their daily food. If the Sovereign King of the cosmos pays such meticulous attention to wild mountain beasts and hungry baby ravens, how much more can we trust Him to provide for our daily needs on life's journey? The fourth segment is: The Delight of the King: Hope in Unfailing Love The psalmist brings this first half of Psalm One Hundred Forty-Seven to a magnificent, heart-searching conclusion, linking together the profound wisdom in verse ten and verse eleven. He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might. No, the Lord's delight is in those who fear him, those who put their hope in his unfailing love. The psalmist contrasts earthly military arrogance with the true values of God's kingdom, declaring, “He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might. No, the Lord's delight...

Parallel Journeys: Eurasian History through Travelers' Eyes (Cambria Press, 2026) is a comparative history of Eurasia told through travel writing and cross-cultural encounters. In this anthology, Anthony Barbieri pairs accounts from twenty-eight travelers across different historical periods, placing side-by-side travelers looking or going East with those looking or going West. Spanning from 400 BCE through to 1936, the anthology brings together ambassadors, monks, missionaries, merchants, and journalists in order to explore how people understood the cultures, societies, and worlds that they encountered through travel. Structured around these “parallel journeys,” the book highlights both similarities and differences in the ways travelers described foreign places and peoples. Some travelers used these encounters to criticize the societies they entered, while others turned outward observation into reflection on their own cultures. Across the anthology, travel writing emerges not simply as a way of describing a journey, but as a way of forging ideas about cultural difference, identity, religion, commerce, and political power. This anthology will appeal to readers interested in Eurasian history, travel writing, world literature, and cross-cultural exchange. It is also a flexible and engaging anthology perfect for classroom teaching, complete with both long and short versions of each account, helpful visuals, and contextual information — an excellent way to get students thinking about what it means to do comparison effectively. For another overview of the anthology, readers should check out Barbieri's lecture “Beyond the Mountains and Seas,” available on YouTube here. Learn more about your ad choices.

A @Christadelphians Video: **YouTube Summary/Description****[Actual, provable Bible Truth]**The Good News is not merely a New Testament concept; it is rooted in the very heart of the Old Testament. The undeniable truth is that **God Reigns**. From the dusty roads of Babylon to the mountains of Zion, the prophetic voice of Isaiah declares a message of complete restoration. God hasn't forgotten His people. He is the Creator who forms the earth, yet His greatest work is the creation of a faithful people for His name. In Isaiah 40-66, we uncover the foundational source of the Gospel—the revelation that the God of Israel is the one true Sovereign, and His plan of salvation culminates in the Lord Jesus Christ.**Overview**This thought-provoking and expositional study with Bible student David Fraser takes us on a journey through Isaiah's "Book of Comfort." We explore how God, through His prophet, answered the hopelessness of Israel in captivity. By contrasting the impotent, man-made idols of Babylon with the magnificent power of Yahweh, this talk reveals the stunning truth: God carries us, redeems us, and has a purpose for His creation that extends to the ends of the earth. It is an outstanding, uplifting look at how the "Good News upon the Mountains" finds its ultimate fulfilment in Christ, offering hope to all who feel forgotten.**Chapters**00:00 - Introduction: The Good News and the Rule of God01:30 - Israel in Captivity: The Hopelessness of Babylon03:50 - The Call to Comfort: Isaiah 4006:30 - God Who Makes: The Unique Creator09:20 - God Who Speaks: The Power of His Word12:50 - The Herald of Good Tidings: Isaiah 52:715:00 - The Fulfillment: Jesus in the Synagogue18:00 - The New Creation in Christ21:00 - Conclusion: The Feast of God and the Victory Over Death**Bible Verse Category**

Here in the city, we have a strong connection to the Rocky Mountains. Many Edmontonians even consider Jasper, kind of like a backyard, but we're certainly not alone in our love of elevation. CBC's Liam Harrap did a deep dive into the country's peaks and the unique ways people celebrate, enjoy and study them. He sits down to break down his show “Mountain Love."
What is it that actually forms our inner reality? Our values, our perspective, our judgment, our understanding of wisdom about the issues that really matter? What difference does that make in Christian character formation? The American church consistently produces fruit that many of its own leaders either don't recognize, don't want, or disapprove of. Under- and malformed Christian people reflect a grounding in the surrounding culture rather than the character and love and gospel of Jesus Christ. In this episode, author, professor, and consultant Tod Bolsinger argues that culture is the thing that forms you before you ever realize it, let alone consent to it. He suggests that the soil of community and belonging—rooted in attachment, vulnerability, trust, and joy—is what makes sense of exemplary models of Christian formation. "If you wanna grow good fruit—abundant harvests of good fruit—you don't focus on the fruit, you focus on the soil." With Mark Labberton, Tod reflects on the agricultural model of spiritual formation; regenerative farming and the impact of soil health on the quality of the fruit; the example of Andre Trocme and the French Huguenots of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, village whose radical hospitality saved thousands of Jews during the Holocaust; trust, pain, and care The intentionally formative community: joyful belonging, shared values, vulnerable self-reflection, care that isn't comfort. Episode Highlights "There are no dysfunctional systems. They all produce." "These people just lived out their faith." "The precognitive and the unconscious realities of our life are stronger than our words." "Nothing is as formative as the organizational culture you're in."

Story Transcript:Ca: El sol brillava amb força sobre les muntanyes de Montserrat.En: The sun shone brightly over the mountains of Montserrat.Ca: Les roques tenien formes estranyes, com si haguessin estat esculpides per gegants fa molt de temps.En: The rocks had strange shapes, as if they had been carved by giants a long time ago.Ca: Martí i Laia caminaven pel camí empedrat.En: Martí and Laia walked along the cobbled path.Ca: Feia setmanes que Laia havia tornat de l'estranger, però Martí encara la sentia lluny.En: It had been weeks since Laia had returned from abroad, but Martí still felt she was distant.Ca: —Laia, mira quina vista!En: "Laia, look at that view!"Ca: —va dir Martí, senyalant el monestir al fons.En: said Martí, pointing at the monastery in the distance.Ca: Laia es va aturar.En: Laia paused.Ca: Els seus ulls es van enfocar en el paisatge, però la seva ment era lluny.En: Her eyes focused on the landscape, but her mind was far away.Ca: Tot plegat era tan familiar i alhora tan estrany després de tants mesos fora.En: Everything was so familiar yet so strange after so many months away.Ca: —És bonic —va respondre Laia, amb una veu suau.En: "It's beautiful," Laia responded, in a soft voice.Ca: Martí es va acostar a la seva germana gran.En: Martí moved closer to his older sister.Ca: Sempre havien estat molt units.En: They had always been very close.Ca: Però ara, hi havia quelcom que els separava.En: But now, there was something that separated them.Ca: Era com si una ombra es negués a esvair-se.En: It was as if a shadow refused to disappear.Ca: —Estàs bé, Laia?En: "Are you okay, Laia?"Ca: —va preguntar, amb un to preocupat.En: he asked, with a concerned tone.Ca: Laia va girar el cap cap a ell.En: Laia turned her head towards him.Ca: Els seus ulls mostraven cansament i incertesa.En: Her eyes showed tiredness and uncertainty.Ca: Volia explicar-li moltes coses.En: She wanted to tell him many things.Ca: La soledat d'un lloc nou, l'emoció de l'aprenentatge, però també la por de perdre's en allò conegut.En: The loneliness of a new place, the excitement of learning, but also the fear of losing herself in the familiar.Ca: Van caminar fins arribar a un mirador.En: They walked until they reached a viewpoint.Ca: Les ombres dels núvols es movien ràpidament sobre la vall.En: The shadows of the clouds moved quickly over the valley.Ca: Martí va decidir que era el moment.En: Martí decided it was time.Ca: Va inhalar profundament.En: He inhaled deeply.Ca: —Laia, et veig diferent —va admetre Martí amb sinceritat—.En: "Laia, you seem different," Martí admitted sincerely.Ca: Vull ajudar-te, però no sé com.En: "I want to help you, but I don't know how."Ca: Laia es va recolzar a la barana del mirador.En: Laia leaned on the railing of the viewpoint.Ca: Allà, amb l'aire fresc de l'estiu, es va atrevir.En: There, with the fresh summer air, she dared.Ca: —No sé on encaixo ara —va confessar Laia—.En: "I don't know where I fit in now," Laia confessed.Ca: Tot ha canviat, però també jo he canviat.En: "Everything has changed, but I have changed too."Ca: Martí va sentir un pes al pit.En: Martí felt a weight on his chest.Ca: A poc a poc, es va acostar i va posar el seu braç al voltant d'ella.En: Slowly, he moved closer and put his arm around her.Ca: —Estem aquí, Laia.En: "We're here, Laia.Ca: Estic amb tu.En: I'm with you."Ca: Laia va deixar anar una llàgrima de felicitat compartida.En: Laia shed a tear of shared happiness.Ca: La muntanya s'havia convertit en el testimoni d'una promesa renovada.En: The mountain had become the witness of a renewed promise.Ca: Martí la va apretar amb força, i en aquell moment va entendre el valor del silenci i l'escolta.En: Martí held her tightly, and in that moment he understood the value of silence and listening.Ca: Al capvespre, mentre el sol s'ocultava darrere les majestuoses cimes, el cor de Laia es va sentir més tranquil.En: At dusk, as the sun hid behind the majestic peaks, Laia's heart felt more at peace.Ca: Martí havia trencat l'escut i havia mostrat l'amor sincer d'un germà.En: Martí had broken through the shield and had shown the sincere love of a brother.Ca: La soledat s'esvaïa i es transformava en un record que mai més no la separaria de casa.En: The loneliness faded and transformed into a memory that would never again separate her from home.Ca: Van tornar al monestir amb una nova llum.En: They returned to the monastery with a new light.Ca: Martí havia descobert la paciència i la comprensió, i Laia, un lloc al qual tornar sempre.En: Martí had discovered patience and understanding, and Laia, a place to always return to.Ca: Montserrat es convertia així en un punt de partida per a noves esperances i somnis compartits, un retorn per a ella, i per a ell, un descobriment del que realment significa ser germà.En: Montserrat thus became a starting point for new hopes and shared dreams, a return for her, and for him, a discovery of what it truly means to be a brother.

Hi Sleepy. Tonight the talking puts on its shoes and wanders off again. A cold Stockholm morning becomes bluish mountains in Dalarna, which becomes old theater rooms, old fear, old drunk directors, and then somehow a warm little container called Adventure Wolf, where no one has to prove anything to anyone.I talk about getting older and still not becoming a wise, stable mountain person. About fame, and how something that once looked like freedom can start to feel like a coat made of wet carpet. About loneliness as space, as habit, as prison, as a room where you sometimes find yourself and sometimes just your phone charger.You don't have to follow all of this, Sleepy. You can let it blur. Let my voice walk somewhere in the next room while you drift off to sleep, through memory, bitterness, gratitude, and the strange peace of small places.It is what it is. What happens, happens. And right now, there's nothing we can do about it.Cause of summer leave, this episode is a rerun from one of the older favourite episodes. Brand new episode coming next week.Sleep Tight!More about Henrik, click here: https://linktr.ee/Henrikstahl Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Mountains have long been associated with encountering God, so many of the Canaanite religions would build altars and places of worship on "high places." God strictly commanded that His people destroy the high places so they wouldn't worship like their idolatrous neighbors. However, we see throughout Israel's history that they would turn to the Lord but were slow to get rid of the high places. In our own lives, it is easy to turn to the Lord but hang onto idols and other objects of worship. What does it look like to destroy these high places and fully worship the Lord?

Stage 19 of the 2026 Tour de France delivered one of the greatest spectacles in modern cycling. A 127.9km mountain stage from Gap to Alpe d'Huez, with 3,500 metres of climbing, always promised fireworks, but what unfolded on the Tour's most iconic climb exceeded every expectation. Richard Carapaz, Lenny Martinez and Sepp Kuss looked set to fight for the stage after an elite breakaway survived deep into the final ascent. But behind them, Tadej Pogačar had other ideas. Launching a devastating attack from the GC group, he rode alone up Alpe d'Huez, hunting down the breakaway one rider at a time before attacking again inside the final kilometre to claim one of the most memorable victories of his career. He didn't just win on cycling's most famous climb, he set the fastest ever ascent of Alpe d'Huez. It was a performance that felt almost impossible to comprehend. Was this the greatest ride of Pogačar's career? Is it one of the finest individual performances the Tour de France has ever witnessed? We break down every moment of an unforgettable afternoon in the Alps. We also discuss Carapaz's remarkable back-to-back mountain raids, Lenny Martinez's outstanding ride into second place, Remco Evenepoel strengthening his grip on second overall, and how the battles for the podium and polka-dot jersey have been transformed heading into the final weekend. Carapaz's efforts also moved him into the lead of the King of the Mountains competition, setting up a thrilling fight for the jersey.

As the Library of Mistakes prepares to host its first Edinburgh Fringe performance, we speak to the show's creator, Tom Paper. Mistakes On Maps is a witty, visually immersive journey through 20 historical maps, each featuring a fascinating flaw. Encounter sea monsters in the 1539 Carta Marina, the phantom continent of Terra Australis, California drawn as an island, the Open Polar Sea, canals on Mars, and the Mountains of Kong. Were these errors accidents, ambition, propaganda or fear of empty space? Along the way, see how trade, empire, faith and imagination bent geography. Through projected maps, story and music, this show reveals how cartographers got it wrong, and what their errors reveal about us.This episode was presented by Fraser Allen & Leila JohnstonMistakes On Maps runs every day at the Library of Mistakes in Edinburgh from 7-30 August 2026 inclusive (except 17, 18, 24 and 25 August).For more information and tickets, see: https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/mistakes-on-maps
What happens when you build your work around the life you want to live? In this episode of On Adventure, Josh talks with Stefan Gruber, a climber, photographer, traveler, and customer success professional at Levitate. Stefan shares how remote work and his wife Sarah's career as a travel nurse have helped them create a life centered on movement, creativity, and outdoor adventure. They discuss climbing, film photography, international travel, dangerous moments in the mountains, and the judgment required to turn around when conditions are not right. At the heart of the conversation is a simple message: meaningful experiences should not always be postponed. In This Episode Building a mobile life around remote work and travel nursing Why climbing creates focus, presence, and flow Traveling through the American West, Poland, and Nepal The appeal of film photography and printed images Balancing documentation with being present Avalanche terrain, exposed climbing, and failed summit attempts Summit fever, risk assessment, and the limits of luck Future goals, including the Grand Teton and Colorado fourteeners Why Stefan believes in doing things while you still can Episode Chapters 00:00 – Colorado Springs and life on the move Josh and Stefan discuss Colorado Springs, choosing temporary homes, and the possibility of eventually buying land in Colorado or Montana. 11:00 – Stefan's career and lifestyle Stefan explains how he moved from a long corporate commute into remote work and began traveling with Sarah during her nursing assignments. 17:30 – Climbing, travel, and flow Stefan reflects on his Polish heritage, his early interest in travel, and the sense of complete focus he finds while climbing. 20:00 – Designing work around life The conversation explores the freedom and tradeoffs of building a career that supports travel, adventure, and flexibility. 24:00 – Poland and international travel Stefan describes Poland's cities, mountains, coastline, affordability, and cultural growth, along with other memorable travel experiences. 36:30 – Photography and creative ambitions Stefan explains how photography connects his travels and outdoor life. He also shares ideas for creating a travel channel with Sarah. 41:00 – Film, digital photography, and presence They discuss the visual character of film, the value of printed photographs, and the tension between capturing an experience and fully living it. 51:00 – Risk, fear, and turning around Stefan recounts dangerous moments involving avalanche terrain, exposed climbing, wildfire smoke, and two unsuccessful attempts on the Grand Teton. 57:00 – Summit fever and the limits of luck The conversation turns to humility, decision-making, and why surviving a poor choice does not make it a good one. 1:04:00 – Survival psychology and photography advice Stefan recommends Deep Survival by Laurence Gonzales and encourages new photographers to begin with whatever camera they can access. 1:11:00 – Favorite mountains and future goals Stefan talks about the Tetons, Annapurna Base Camp, Denali, Everest, and his goals for the rest of 2026. 1:18:00 – Do it while you can Stefan closes with his belief that health, time, and opportunity are uncertain, so meaningful goals should not always be saved for later. Memorable Quotes "Sometimes those limits find you." "There's a certain store of luck, and it will run out eventually." "If it doesn't happen today, it can happen another day." "Do it while you can." Key Takeaways Build work around what matters. Flexible work can create more room for travel, relationships, creativity, and meaningful experiences. Turning around is not failure. Good judgment sometimes means abandoning a climb or summit and returning under better conditions. Luck is not a strategy. A successful outcome does not automatically mean the decision behind it was wise. Give photographs a life beyond the screen. Printing images or shooting film can make photography feel more intentional and lasting. Do not save everything for someday. Adventure can be a major expedition or a small personal goal. The important step is beginning while the opportunity still exists. Resources Mentioned Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why by Laurence Gonzales Stefan's Instagram page About Stefan Gruber Stefan Gruber is a climber, traveler, and photographer who works remotely for Levitate. He and his wife Sarah travel throughout the United States for her nursing assignments while pursuing hiking, climbing, skiing, photography, and international travel.

This is the final stop on our five-part audio guide to Asheville, North Carolina, and we're heading for the trees. In this episode of Unpacked by Afar, host Aislyn Greene laces up for Asheville hiking, and discovers why the oldest mountains on Earth are also some of the most beloved. On a tour with Hike Bike Kayak Asheville that takes Aislyn and guide David into the Pisgah National Forest, Aislyn learns that Asheville hiking means far more than a simple walk in the woods. These are among the oldest mountains in the world, cloaked in one of the most biodiverse forests in North America, home to thousands of plant species and waterfalls around nearly every bend. David leads her to quiet swimming holes and points out plants that grow nowhere else on Earth. She stands beneath Looking Glass Falls and hears how a single valley packs in world-class rock climbing, fly fishing on the Davidson River, and a 60-foot natural water slide called Sliding Rock. Zoom out, and the scale is staggering. The Great Smoky Mountains and the Blue Ridge Parkway are among the most visited places in the entire national park system, and Mount Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi, rises just up the road. It helps explain why so many people who come here for Asheville hiking end up never wanting to leave, and why the outdoors are one of America's great travel destinations. It's a landscape you can dip into for a single afternoon or disappear into for a week. It all adds up to a rich piece of cultural travel and a fitting finale to our guide: a reminder that in Asheville, the wild is never far away. Whether you want a gentle waterfall stroll or a hard climb to a summit view, the trailheads are closer than you think, and the payoff is some of the most beautiful country in the eastern United States. Consider it your guide to where to go and what to know. Unpacked by Afar is a travel podcast that unpacks one destination at a time.

A childhood story told around the family turns into a lifelong mystery as one listener shares an incredible account from Oklahoma's Arbuckle Mountains. Long before Bigfoot became part of popular culture, two experienced hunters found themselves being followed through dense briar patches by a towering unknown figure after their hounds suddenly fled in fear.This episode also features chilling encounters from Beckley, West Virginia, where powerful vocalizations, overwhelming odors, and unexplained activity left one witness convinced multiple Sasquatch were surrounding her group. A Missouri caller describes tree knocks, mysterious grunts, and the now-famous greenhouse property, while another witness recalls seeing a massive reddish-brown Bigfoot sprinting alongside her vehicle near Charleston, West Virginia. You'll also hear a recent report from Tennessee's Cumberland Plateau involving a freshly toppled tree under calm weather conditions.These firsthand accounts span generations and regions across North America, offering a fascinating look at the places where witnesses continue to report encounters with something that refuses to be explained.

Lance Wallnau spent years thinking he was out of God's will, working in "Babylon, New York," making money in the corporate world, wondering when God would finally let him into "real" ministry. It took a stranger's prophetic word, a boardroom prophecy that ended in a standing ovation, and a Georgia state senator who died for 40 minutes to show him he'd had it backwards the whole time. What if the place you're trying to escape is actually the assignment? In this episode, Lance shares his own journey to discovering his calling, including finding out about his hidden Jewish heritage through a prophetic word, and tells the real, verifiable origin story of the seven mountains mandate: how Senator Michael Crotts' near-death experience, a phone call his own secretary says she never made, and a conversation with Loren Cunningham all converged to reveal the seven spheres that shape culture: church, family, education, government, media, arts, and business. In this episode: * How a stranger's prophetic word revealed Lance's hidden Jewish, rabbinic heritage * Why 90% of believers are never taught to find their calling outside the four walls of the church * The corporate boardroom prophecy that got a standing ovation from executives * The true origin story of the seven mountains mandate * Senator Michael Crotts' 40-minute near-death experience and the vision of seven islands * The mysterious phone call nobody can explain If you've ever felt like your job, your industry, or your everyday life was somehow "less than" ministry, this episode will change how you see your calling.

Reaching financial independence is supposed to be the goal—but what if you get there and realize the real skill isn't earning or saving, but learning to spend? And what if the metric for business success has nothing to do with revenue growth and everything to do with protecting your nervous system? Key Topics Discussed Introduction and the Hidden Curriculum 00:00:00 Brad introduces the concept of life's hidden curriculum—essential lessons never explicitly taught but crucial to building extraordinary lives, including the question extraordinary people consistently ask: "What am I missing, and how could this be useful to me?" Redefining Business Success 00:08:00 Diania explains her counterintuitive decision to keep the EconoMe Conference capped at 500 attendees despite selling out 9+ months in advance, redefining success around maintaining a calm nervous system rather than maximizing revenue or scaling. Enoughness and Simplifying Life 00:15:00 A discussion about determining "enough" in business, friendships, and life overall. Brad shares why he chose not to scale ChooseFI to Dave Ramsey levels, and both explore the power of intentional constraints. The Tuesday Project 00:22:00 Brad introduces his framework for designing FI around what your ideal average Tuesday looks like—waking without an alarm, taking walks in green space, accessing amenities on foot—rather than focusing solely on extraordinary experiences. Daily Routines and Time Abundance 00:30:00 Diania shares her 4-5 AM morning routine, one-meeting-a-day philosophy, and how she structures days with intention and flexibility to protect both productivity and mental space. The Skill of Spending in FI 00:42:00 Both hosts examine the challenge of learning to spend money intentionally after reaching FI, including examples like grocery delivery services and making purchases without the scarcity-driven research habits that got them to FI. From Scarcity to Abundance 00:55:00 Diania reveals how her annual spending increased from $60K to over $100K—all on discretionary categories like health, relationships, generosity, and travel—while caring about money less than ever. She shares her recent $29K car purchase and why FI as a goal became irrelevant once the journey transformed her life. Values, Idealism, and Materialism 01:08:00 A deep exploration of understanding true values versus social programming, the realization of not actually wanting the status symbols you thought you did, and how reducing materialism creates space for idealism. Health and the Better Body Challenge 01:18:00 Diania details her transformative six-month fitness accountability challenge requiring 5 weekly workouts, 70,000 steps per week, daily protein goals, and data uploads—with a $100/week fine for missing targets. Backing Yourself Into a Corner 01:32:00 Discussion about public accountability, understanding what motivates you personally, and intentionally creating circumstances that ensure follow-through on worthy goals. Notable Quotes Brad Barrett: "A lot of people who consistently build extraordinary lives ask, what am I missing, and how could this be useful to me?" Diania Merriam: "Success is a calm nervous system for you personally." Diania Merriam: "I'm not looking for followers. I'm not looking for customers. I really look at them as my peers." Diania Merriam: "My risk has flipped from running out of money to running out of time. I am much more willing to waste money than to waste time." Diania Merriam: "The less materialistic I am, the more idealistic I get to be." Key Takeaways Identify one area where you're using scarcity mindset despite financial security and experiment with an abundance-based decision Design your Tuesday Project: write down what your ideal average Tuesday would look like in FI and identify what's preventing that now Audit your attention: identify what's stealing your focus in ways that don't align with your values and set one boundary Consider joining an accountability group for a goal…

Megyn Kelly starts the show by discussing "feckless" Judge Tony Graf showing zero confidence from the bench in Tyler Robinson hearing, how he's delaying a probable cause ruling despite extensive evidence presented in court, Lance Twiggs' statements about the bullet engravings and Robinson's political views, additional evidence surrounding the events leading up to Kirk's assassination, and more. Then, Megyn is joined by legal experts Dave Aronberg and Viva Frei to discuss Lance Twigg's video testimony in the Tyler Robinson hearing, why he was seemingly downplaying his "trans" identity, his comments about Robinson's political views, and more. Plus, Megyn is joined by Mark Eiglarsh and Jonna Spilbor, hosts of “Positively Legal,” and Matt Murphy, co-host of "In The Well," to discuss the defense challenging the DNA evidence in the Tyler Robinson case, what the evidence could mean for the prosecution, the alleged surveillance footage of Tyler Robinson, text messages between Robinson and Lance Twiggs, the engraved cartridge casings recovered in the case, what the evidence may reveal about Robinson's alleged motive, and more.
