Podcasts about wild foods

Rick and Svea talk about modern-day idolatry—not necessarily bowing before statues, but looking to accomplishments, relationships, finances, status, or other good things to tell us we are enough. They reflect on the freedom that comes from knowing our deepest identity and security are found in Christ, not in what we achieve or what others think of us.The episode also explores Paul's words that “knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.” Knowledge matters, but Christian maturity is not measured by how much we know. It is measured by how we love—how we love Jesus and how we love others in the way we have been loved by him.Rick and Svea then discuss what it means to lay aside our rights for the good of someone else. That kind of self-limiting love is not people-pleasing, manipulation, or being a doormat. It is a voluntary choice to seek another person's good, especially when someone is vulnerable or newer in their faith. As Rick puts it, the goal is not to live to please people, but to live to love them.The conversation closes by returning to the foundation underneath it all: when the Lord is our shepherd, we lack nothing. Because our worth and security come from Christ, we are free to love others from a place of abundance rather than fear.Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 Intro02:04 Visiting Another Church03:57 Sermon Recap: Food Sacrificed to Idols (1 Corinthians 8)04:52 Modern Idolatry09:29 The Lord Is My Shepherd / I Lack Nothing (Psalm 23)11:42 Knowledge vs. Love16:39 Setting Aside Rights for Others20:00 Alcohol as a Case Study22:34 People-Pleasing vs. Truly Loving People27:16 Wrapping Up: Loving from Abundance

In this episode of Church Is Messy, Rick and Svea explore the second half of 1 Corinthians 11, where Paul sharply rebukes the Corinthian church for their divisive behavior during communion. Paul's warning reveals how seriously God takes unity within the church.Rick explains that unity is not just a goal for Christians—it reflects God's very nature as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The problem in Corinth wasn't personal sin before communion, but pretending to be unified while practicing division, as wealthier believers feasted while the poor went hungry.Rick and Svea discuss what true unity looks like in practice: moving beyond tolerance to actively honoring and welcoming people across differences in age, background, culture, and life stage. They remind listeners that biblical unity in diversity is not a cultural trend but an ancient foundation of the church.The episode closes with a picture of this unity in action through multigenerational faith communities learning from one another around the same table.Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 - Intro02:32 - Introduction to 1 Corinthians 11 Passage03:39 - God's Discipline and Importance of Unity04:37 - The Trinity and Unity07:01 - A Thought Experiment08:40 - Divine Discipline vs. Condemnation09:42 - Better Not to Meet - A Church Out of Whack10:20 - Taking Communion in an Unworthy Manner12:33 - Communion as a Meal in Small Groups13:32 - Clarifying Unity in Christ vs. Loving All People15:42 - The Tolerate, Celebrate, Elevate Progression16:30 - Philippians 2 - The Mind of Christ18:11 - Practical Application in Church Life20:32 - Idealized Small Group Expectations21:07 - Loneliness Epidemic22:51 - Cultural Shift on Unity and Diversity26:54 - Christian Foundation for Unity28:12 - Beauty and Goodness of Unity30:38 - Preview of Next Week

What does it take to protect some of Canada's most iconic—and at risk—animals? In this episode, Carol and Jeevan sit down with Mateen Hessami (MSc'22), wildlife biologist and UBC Okanagan master's graduate, to find out. From collaring moose out of helicopters to rediscovering a caribou herd believed to be extinct since 2014, Mateen's work is as thrilling as it is meaningful. He breaks down why caribou are disappearing, why hunters might be conservation's greatest allies, and why the most important voice in wildlife management often belongs to the communities who've lived on the land for generations. Whether you're a nature lover or someone who's never left the city, this conversation will change the way you think about the wild world around you.Links & Resources Mentioned in This Episode:Contact CarolContact JeevanFrom Here ForwardPodium Podcast CompanyMateen HessamiUBC Okanagan Backcountry Hunters & Anglers ClubThe Indigenous Guardians Program (00:00) - Introduction (01:33) - Meet Mateen Hessami (04:46) - What does a community-based wildlife ecologist do day-to-day?

Are you intimidated by eating organs or unsure how to add more nutrient density to your diet without it feeling overwhelming? In this episode, we sit down with chef James Barry to take the “yuck” factor out of preparing and eating organ meats. We break down why organs are truly nature's multivitamin, how sourcing and preparation make all the difference, and how simple tools—like James's organ-based seasoning, Pluck—can make this powerful superfood an easy, delicious part of everyday meals. In this conversation, we also dive into why organ meats fell out of favor, how modern food culture has disconnected us from nutrient-dense eating, and why mindfulness around food matters just as much as what's on your plate.

Thanksgiving is coming, so here's a food show, and a family Thanksgiving side recipe, and "shop local" holiday advice!  "Wild Food"? That's right, this is the FORAGING episode! I interviewed two foragers, both friends of mine here in Penns Valley: forester Andrea Ferich and my friend and pinochle partner, John Dubosky. They'll tell you about how to find and harvest wild mushrooms, we talk a little about paw paws, and Andrea talks about ginseng and some cool stuff she's doing with hickory nuts, and I finally get to talk to someone about teaberry! I'll tell you about our family fave Thanksgiving side dish, scalloped oysters, and the supply crisis that almost ended it. The next episode is dropping Saturday after Thanksgiving, which is Small Business Saturday, so I've got a bunch of central Pennsylvania small shopping suggestions for you. And...there will be a bunch more in the show notes on the new website! That's SeenThroughAGlass.com! Huge thanks to my daughter Nora Bryson for building the site, with a merch store, a blog, Corgi pix, and more to come. Finally, STAG has a home!  What I'm Drinking Today is a winter classic from way back, Samuel Smith Winter Welcome, a beautifully malty mouthful that soothes my weary soul at this time of year.  The Smack Dab In The Centre segment is about grooving to live music at some great drinking spots (you know, multitasking). I'll tell you about two American Whiskey Master Class signing events in central PA in December, and remember, a signed copy is a great holiday gift for your whiskey-loving friends that you can now buy at the new website! Next episode will be a Mifflinburg profile that's also our first holiday episode. Get ready! See you in two weeks (and two days)! Until then? TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THE PODCAST!

Often referred to as a “Goldilocks” mineral, iodine must be kept in balance—too little can lead to fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, and hormonal imbalance, while too much can exacerbate autoimmunity and disrupt delicate nutrient interplay. In this episode, we take a comprehensive look at iodine's role in thyroid health, fertility, immune function, breast tissue, and detoxification. We unpack symptoms of both deficiency and excess, explore the connection between iodine and environmental exposures like fluoride, chlorine, and brominated flour, and discuss important considerations for those with Hashimoto's or other autoimmune conditions. You'll also learn how to assess iodine status through testing, the validity of iodine painting, and the risks and benefits of different supplementation approaches. We highlight topical uses—from wound care and nasal rinses to support for fibrocystic breasts—as well as dietary sources like sea vegetables and seafood.

Anemia is one of the most overlooked yet impactful conditions affecting energy, mood, cognition, and hormone balance. In this episode, we unpack the many root causes of anemia beyond just low iron—including micronutrient deficiencies, MTHFR mutations, lack of intrinsic factor, and the impacts of vegetarian or low-protein diets. We explore the difference between microcytic and macrocytic anemia and how to interpret key markers on an iron panel, including ferritin, transferrin saturation, and total iron-binding capacity. You'll also learn about the important connections between thyroid function and iron status, the role of hormones like estrogen and cortisol, and how symptoms like fatigue, hair loss, or irregular cycles may trace back to suboptimal iron levels. Whether you're dealing with diagnosed anemia or suspect you're trending low, this episode will help you understand how to restore balance from a functional, root-cause perspective.
