Offshore finfish farming is the mass cultivation of finfish in marine waters, in underwater or floating net pens, pods, and cages. Offshore finfish farms are factory farms that harm public health, the environment, and local communities and economies that rely on the ocean and its resources. Don’t Cage Our Oceans are a coalition of diverse organizations working together to stop the development of offshore finfish farming in the United States through federal law, policies, and coalition building.

Welcome back! Today, we're with Mark Batterson, a New York Times bestselling author and an amazing pastor and leader.

We're talking about finishing the year strong. This conversation is a great reminder of how we need to look at life and that God has so much for us that sometimes, in the hustle and bustle of daily life and the stress of daily life, we don't fully recognize.

Mark Batterson serves as lead pastor of National Community Church in Washington, DC. He is a best-selling author of 23 books. He also serves as lead visionary for The Dream Collective, which equips and supports dreamers who long for revival in the church, reformation in the kingdom, and renaissance in culture.

In Mark’s newest book, A Million Little Miracles: Rediscover the God Who Is Bigger Than Big, Closer Than Close, and Gooder Than Good, he reminds us of the millions of miracles God performs every day and inspires us to live with a clearer sense of identity and purpose.

Great things Mark and I discussed today:

(4:25) Everyday miracles

(11:28) The miracle of play

(15:00) Barriers that keep us from seeing everyday miracles in our lives

(15:54) First step to identifying the little miracles in our lives to feel re-enchanted

(21:20) Using two-foot field trips to reset your perspective
