Five Spiritual Disciplines – Meditation Monday

Wisdom – the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1419 of our Trek, and it is time for Meditation Monday. Taking time to relax, refocus, and reprioritize our lives is crucial in order to create a living legacy. For you, it may just be time alone for quiet reflection. You may utilize structured meditation practices. In my life, Meditation includes reading and reflecting on God’s Word and in prayer. It is a time to renew my mind, refocus on what is most important, and making sure that I am nurturing my soul, mind, and body. As you come along with me on our trek each Meditation Monday, it is my hope and prayer that you, too, will experience a time for reflection and renewing of your mind. 

Although the Covid-19 pandemic continues to be on our minds, and discussed daily on the major news programs, I think for most of us, we are moving onto a new season of life. We are all trying to determine what our new normal may be for the remainder of this year, at least. Recently in my morning devotional time, I came across five spiritual disciplines that we all should put in our lives and make them a habit. Today let us meditate on:

Five Spiritual Disciplines

Let us start today to practice these five spiritual habits that will change the way we live. Let us make God the one thing we pursue above anything else. As a new season begins, here are five spiritual disciplines you can practice to make time with God a daily habit.

  1. Give thanks – Psalms 75:1

We thank you, O God!

   We give thanks because you are near.

   People everywhere tell of your wonderful deeds.

Have you experienced healing? Answered prayers? Breakthrough in the life of someone you love? Salvation? As you seek God’s heart for this new season, take a moment to thank Him for what He’s already done.

  1. Spend 5 minutes in silence – John 15:4

Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.

Abiding in Jesus starts with stillness. Pause, take a deep breath, and give anything concerning you over to God. Spend 5 minutes centering your heart on the One who matters most.

  1. Remember Whose you are – 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself,  for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.

God loves you. (Let that sink in.) The price He paid for you cost Him everything. Remind yourself of Whose you are, and then confidently dream big with God for this new season.

  1. Meditate on God’s Word – Psalms 119:97

Oh, how I love your instructions! I think about them all day long.

How does Jesus want you to live? One of the best ways to find out is to spend time in Scripture. As you do, ask God to speak to you through His Words about what your next right step should be.

  1. Focus on what is excellent – Philippians 4:8

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

You have been given the mind of Christ. If you’re not sure of what you should do in your next season, try asking yourself: What is praiseworthy? What decisions would honor God?

Make a list of whatever comes to mind, and intentionally pursue those things.

1 Corinthians 2:16

For, “Who can know the Lord’s thoughts?

Who knows enough to teach him?”

But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ.

By Infusing these five spiritual disciplines into your life every day, you can actively create keystone habits: acquired patterns of behavior that form the basis of your daily routines. Imagine what good, personal habits, you might be cultivating a year from now because you purposefully chose to pursue intimacy with God today!

That is a wrap for today’s Meditation, next week; we will continue our trek on Meditation Monday as we take time to reflect on what is most important in creating our living legacy. On tomorrow’s trek, we will explore another wisdom quote. This 3-minute wisdom supplement will assist you in becoming healthy, wealthy, and wise each day. Thank you for joining me on this trek called life. Encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.’  If you would like to listen to any of the past 1418 daily treks or read the daily journal, they are available at Wisdom-Trek.com.

Day 1418 – High-Speed Global Connectivity – Ask Gramps

Welcome to Day 1418 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom

High-Speed Global Connectivity – Ask Gramps

Wisdom – the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. Today is Day 1418 of our Trek, and after many months, we are changing our focus on Fridays to become Futuristic Fridays. My personality is one that has always been very future-oriented. Since my childhood, I have yearned for the exploration and discovery of new technologies and advancements for the future. I grew up with the original Star Trek series, and even today, while I am on my 64th revolution around the sun, I still dream of traveling in space. Each week we will explore rapidly converging technologies and advancements that will radically change our perspective of life. The topics may sound like something out of a science fiction novel, but each area that we explore is already well on its way of becoming a reality in the next couple of decades.  To keep with our theme of “Ask Gramps,” I will put our weekly topics in the form of a question to get us on track. So this week’s question is: Hey Gramps, is there one technology that is driving the rapid changes in the world, which will be the catalyst for all other changes? 

High-Speed Global Connectivity

With the global pandemic still impacting the world, and when unrest seems to be nearly everywhere, you have to realize that none of these issues will be long-lasting in the grand scheme of the world. Many of these issues will speed up the exponential technology that is changing our world today. I am using some of the information mentioned in Peter Diamandis’s book, which I mentioned in previous episodes, “The Future is Faster Than You Think.”

Global gigabit connectivity will connect everyone and everything, everywhere, at ultra-low-cost: The deployment of both licensed and unlicensed 5G, plus the launch of a multitude of global satellite networks (OneWeb, Starlink, etc.), allow for ubiquitous, low-cost communications for everyone, everywhere–– not to mention the connection of trillions of devices. Today’s skyrocketing connectivity is bringing online an additional 3 billion individuals, driving tens of trillions of dollars into the global economy. Global gigabit technology is driven by the convergence of: low-cost space launches, hardware advancements, 5G networks, artificial intelligence, materials science, and surging computing power. We’re about to connect 8 billion people on the planet, everywhere, all the time, at near-zero cost. This is a future of gigabit connection speeds at the top of Mt. Everest or in the Gobi desert. Currently, the fastest standard wired internet for most homes is 1-GB speed, which will soon jump to 10-GB over the next few years. 10-GB is the broadband technology platform of the future that will deliver residential internet speeds of 10 gigabits per second – 10 times faster than today’s networks. With the power and capacity to change the way we live, learn, work and play, the 10-GB platform will enable creators and innovators to fulfill their dreams while providing the reliability and security that consumers can trust. Imagine downloading a feature-length movie in less time than it takes to read this sentence.

In the decade ahead, the convergence of 5G, satellite constellations, and stratospheric balloons will take us into warp drive, birthing a new age of hyperconnectivity. This technology is under deployment today, and what will be possible tomorrow.

When researchers talk about network evolution such as 4G or 5G, “G” is the term stands for “generation.” In 1940, when the first telephone networks began to roll out, they were at 0G. These initial periods when technology is just starting, it is referred to as ‘the dark night of deception.’ It took forty years to crawl our way to 1G, which showed up with the first mobile phones in the 1980s. But this also marked the transition from deceptive to disruptive.

By the 90s—around the time the internet emerged—2G came along for the ride. But the journey didn’t last long. A decade later, 3G ushered in a new era of acceleration as bandwidth costs began to plummet at a staggeringly consistent 35 percent per year. 2010 saw 4G networks unleash smartphones, mobile banking, and e-commerce.

Starting in 2020, 5G will hotwire the whole deal, delivering speeds a hundred times faster at near-zero prices. How fast is 5G fast? With 3G, it takes 45 minutes to download a high-definition movie. 4G shrinks that to 21 seconds. But 5G? It takes longer to read this sentence than it takes to download that movie. What are some of the technology that allows this acceleration?  One is a type of balloon. Even while our terrestrial mobile networks receive a massive upgrade, new networks are sprouting, taking advantage of the vast real estate above our heads.

Alphabet, which is part of Google, is now rolling out Project Loon, which, when first proposed, could have been short for “Project Loony!” Born a decade back out of Google X—the tech giant’s skunkworks—the idea was to replace terrestrial cell towers with stratospherically located hot air balloons. That idea is now a reality.

Both light and durable enough to cruise the slipstreams some 20 kilometers above the Earth’s surface, Google’s 15×12-meter balloons are providing 4G-LTE connections to users on the ground.

Each balloon covers 5,000 square kilometers, and Google aims for a network of thousands, wiring the unwired, providing continuous coverage for anyone, anywhere on Earth.

The next type of network device is built into satellites. While balloons take advantage of room in the atmosphere, other companies are developing networks that inhabit space outside our planet.

Beyond the stratosphere, three major competitors are engaged in an entirely new kind of space race. First up is the work of an engineer named Greg Wyler, who has long pursued the use of technology to eradicate poverty. Back in the early 2000s, on a shoestring budget, Wyler helped bring 3G to communities in Africa.

Today, backed with billions from SoftBank, Qualcomm, and Virgin, he’s launching OneWeb: a constellation of about two thousand satellites bringing 5G download speeds to everyone.

Yet despite the radical network upgrade of OneWeb, Wyler’s a David compared to goliaths such as Amazon and SpaceX. Early this year, Amazon joined the satellite competition, announcing the e-commerce giant’s intention to deploy “Project Kuiper,” a constellation of 3,236 satellites aimed at providing high-speed broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world.

SpaceX topped these figures in 2019, as Musk’s rocket company began launching a monster constellation of now over 30,000 satellites called Starlink. If Musk succeeds, it’ll mean global gigabit connection speeds at near-zero costs. Sixty-six of those satellites are already in orbit, and another 1,000+ are scheduled to launch in 2020.

There are plans for even higher orbiting satellites. At 8,000 kilometers—in what’s technically called Medium-Earth orbit—O3B is the latest G on the block. O3B stands for “Other 3 Billion” and is a set of Boeing-built ‘multi-terabit’ satellites known as the ‘mPower network,’ targeted at bringing connectivity to all who currently lack it.

 We are rushing into the Era of Hyperconnectivity. Now bursting into a tremendously competitive marketplace, today’s building blocks of connectivity are wiring the planet and transforming 21st-century livelihood.

In less than a few decades, we will have built an ever-expanding nervous system, webbing together human civilization and facilitating the rapid-fire global exchange of ideas, goods, services, and human capital.

In next week’s Futuristic Friday episode, we will explore the implications of these exchanges and how hyper-connectivity will unlock our vastly underutilized store of human capital. Perhaps the most significant enabler of all, hyper-connectivity is birthing an era of innovation and progress unlike anything humanity has seen before.

Recognizing that God is the provider of all wisdom, it is so exciting to see how He is utilizing humankind to connect the world so that everyone has ready access to His Good News of Jesus Christ. Jesus gave us all authority in heaven and on earth as we are told in Matthew 28:18-20

Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

That is a wrap for today’s question. Join us again next Friday for another question on our ‘Ask Gramps’ episode. Our next trek is Meditation Monday, where we will help you reflect on what is most important in life. So encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along on Monday for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.’ If you would like to listen to any of the past 1417 daily treks or read the associated journals, they are all available at Wisdom-Trek.com. I encourage you to subscribe to Wisdom-Trek on your favorite podcast player so that each day will be downloaded to you automatically.

Day 1417 – The Missing Money – Humor Unplugged

Welcome to Day 1417 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom

The Missing Money – Humor Unplugged

Wisdom – the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1417 of our Trek, and time for a 3-minute mini-trek called Humor Unplugged. Our Thursday podcast will provide a short and clean funny story to help you lighten up and live a rich and satisfying life. Something to cheer you and give a bit a levity in your life. We are told in Proverbs 15:30 A cheerful look brings joy to the heart; good news makes for good health. We are also encouraged in Proverbs 17:22 A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength. Consider this your vitamin supplement of cheer for today. So let’s jump right in with today’s funny which is titled:

The Missing Money

Andy and Sally, an elderly couple, were celebrating their sixtieth anniversary. The couple had married as childhood sweethearts and had recently moved back to their old neighborhood after they retired.

Holding hands, as they always did, they walked back to their old grade school. It was not locked, so they entered, and found the old desk they’d shared, where Andy had carved “I love you, Sally.” It was such a cherished memory as those days came rushing back to both of them. They were truly blessed.

On their way back home, they took some side roads they used to walk along when they were young. Suddenly, an armored truck went speeding by, and a bag of money popped out of the back door, which was not securely fastened, and fell on the road practically landing at their feet. Sally quickly picked it up, but not sure what to do with it; they took it home. There, she counted the money and found out that it contained fifty-thousand dollars in new $20.00 bills!

Andy was beside himself, as he had never seen so much money at one time. He exclaimed, “We’ve got to give it back.”

Sally wasn’t so sure as she said, “Finders keepers – losers weepers, besides that, we don’t even know the name of the company whose truck it fell from.” Sally put the money back in the bag and hid it in their attic.

The next day, two FBI agents were canvassing house to house in the neighborhood looking for the money. They came up to Sally and Andy’s home and knocked on the door. “Pardon me, but did either of you find a bag of money that fell out of an armored truck yesterday?”Sally said, “No, we don’t know anything about it.”

Andy could not keep quiet and said, “She’s lying. She hid it up in the attic.”

Sally said, “Oh, officers, don’t believe him; poor Andy is getting senile.”

The agents turned to Andy and began to question him.

The lead agent says: “Tell us the story from the beginning.”

Andy said, “Well, you see officer, it all started when Sally and I were walking home from grade school hand in hand just yesterday…”

The other FBI agent turns to her partner and says, “We’re outta here.”

I hope that brought a smile to your face today. If it did pass your smile onto some else, we all could use a kind smile each day. Our Thursday thought is, “We will always be friends until we are old and senile…then we can be new friends.” 

Here is our verse for today:

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

That’s the whole story. Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone’s duty. God will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad.

Just as you enjoy these nuggets of humor, please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.’ If you would like to listen to any of our past 1416 treks or read the Wisdom Journal, they are all available at Wisdom-Trek.com.  I encourage you to subscribe to Wisdom-Trek on your favorite podcast player so that each day will be downloaded to you automatically.

Day 1416 – Mastering the Bible – Intolerant Apostles and Cryptic Revelations – Worldview Wednesday

Welcome to Day 1416 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

Mastering the Bible – Intolerant Apostles and Cryptic Revelations – Worldview Wednesday

Wisdom – the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. Today is Day 1416 of our Trek, and it is Worldview Wednesday. Creating a Biblical Worldview is essential to have a proper perspective on today’s current events. To establish a Biblical Worldview, you must have a proper understanding of God and His Word. Our focus for the next several months on Worldview Wednesday is Mastering the Bible, through a series of brief insights. These insights are extracted from a book of the same title from one of today’s most prominent Hebrew Scholars, Dr. Micheal S. Heiser. This book is a collection of insights designed to help you understand the Bible better. When we let the Bible be what it is, we can understand it as the original readers did, and as its writers intended. Each week we will explore two insights.

Mastering The Bible – Intolerant Apostles and Cryptic Revelations

Insight Seventy-Five: The Apostles Didn’t Tolerate Aberrant Teaching about the Gospel

Both testaments of the Bible bear witness to the problem of competing religious ideas that were contrary to biblical faith and theology. In the Old Testament period, the polytheistic religious systems of the surrounding nations were a persistent threat to Israel’s exclusive loyalty to Yahweh as the true God. That loyalty was the core of Israel’s faith and the basis for salvation in the Old Testament. Deuteronomy 6:4 Listen, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone.

In the New Testament period, idolatry and the danger of worshipping a lesser god was still a target of apostolic teaching and writing. Paul admonished the Corinthians to be careful about eating meat sacrificed to idols, warning them that, in doing so, they were at risk of committing idolatry and fellowshipping with demons (1 Corinthians 10:14-22). Since Paul elsewhere permits eating such meat (1 Corinthians 8:4, 7-9), advising believers not to make a fuss about offerings that were sold in the marketplace (1 Corinthians 10:25), the issue for Paul must have been avoiding any sort of activity that either was participation in the ritual or could be construed that way.

The more significant problem of false teaching, however, seems to involve teachers that professed to follow Jesus but whose teachings altered the simplicity of the Gospel— that salvation was only by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9) and was available to Jews and gentiles alike.Paul and the other apostles repeatedly had to deal with “Judaizers,” who argued that gentiles had to conform to specific points of the Mosaic law to be in right standing before God. Paul referred to those who taught such things as “the circumcision party” and famously confronted Peter for his failure to oppose their teaching (Galatians 2:11-14). Peter knew better but was afraid to speak against Judaizing at Antioch. Paul referred to his behavior as “hypocrisy” that was “out of step with the gospel” (Galatians 2:13-14). The Judaizing seems to have been focused on circumcision (and therefore Jewish identity) since Paul later accuses the Judaizers themselves of being lawbreakers (Galatians 6:13). The point is that they had focused on outward conformity to Jewish identity and not the heart. They presumed that being Jewish meant superior status with God.

Peter himself would later have a problem with false teaching. He, along with Jude, had to confront self-proclaimed prophets who rejected moral authority (Jude 4, 8-10). These false teachers were apparently professing Christians since they participated in the Lord’s Supper (Jude 12). Jude rejected their profession, charging that they didn’t have the Holy Spirit (Jude 19).

As the Epistles show us, we shouldn’t tolerate teaching that alters the Gospel or encourages a life devoid of biblical morals. When it comes to false teaching, tolerance is no virtue.

 Insight Seventy-Six: Revelation Is Hard to Interpret Because Apocalyptic Prophecy Isn’t Designed to Be Clear

Even though there’s a lot in the Bible that is difficult to understand, most of it was written for clarity. That isn’t the case with Revelation. The last book of the New Testament is a classic example of what scholars call the apocalyptic genre. The Greek name of the book. John’s apokalypsis (“Apocalypse”) makes that clear.

Revelation is just one of many apocalyptic texts that have survived from antiquity. The normative features of apocalyptic literature are well known, and Revelation has them in abundance. Apocalyptic books aim to reveal the future, specifically of the end of human history, in a cryptic fashion. Apocalyptic secrets are heavenly and not of earth. For that reason, the genre communicates its message in visions and uses angelic mediators to convey its secrets. John’s book derives from visions he saw in heaven (e.g., Revelation 4:1-6; 9:17; 10:8; 12:10; 14:2; 19:11). Angels appear in Revelation over fifty times, and in many cases, they give John insight into those heavenly visions (Revelation 1:1; 17:7, 15; 19:9; 22:1, 6). Despite this help, the content of the book is called a mystery several times (e.g., Revelation. 10:7; 17:5, 7).

Unsurprisingly, the book is riddled with symbolic language: unidentified “elders,” spirits, living creatures full of eyes (Revelation 4-5); scrolls with seals, celestial signs (sun, moon, stars; Revelation 6, 9); angels with trumpets (Revelation 9, 11); a great fiery Abyss from which emerge locusts (Revelation 9); a dragon (Revelation 12): beasts emerging from the sea and the earth (Revelation 13): and the great prostitute (Revelation 17).

Basically all of this imagery comes from the Old Testament. Unfortunately for us, the imagery was symbolic to begin with, and Revelation at times changes the contexts and nature of the images. But our real disadvantage is that we come from another time and culture. While ancient readers would have instantly understood particular symbols, our understanding is anything but intuitive since we don’t share their Worldview. A deliberately cryptic book, therefore, becomes even more obtuse. To have any hope of understanding the book, we need to first understand the meaning of the metaphors and symbols in the Old Testament and then read carefully for how John uses the Old Testament.

If that sounds like work, it is. And it gets worse. A lot hinges on discerning when the book was written, which in large part depends on one passage in the book that is difficult to interpret. On top of that, it’s unclear whether we should read the book as a chronological sequence of events or as a series of repeating cycles. The choice of reading strategy leads to dramatically different conclusions about the book’s meaning. The dismaying truth is that Revelation isn’t easy to understand because it wasn’t meant to be easy to understand. For that reason, be very suspicious of anyone who tells you they’ve figured it out.

That will conclude this week’s lesson on another two insights from Dr. Heiser’s book “Mastering The Bible.” Next Worldview Wednesday, we will continue with two additional insights. I believe you will find each Worldview Wednesday an interesting topic to consider as we build our Biblical Worldview.

Tomorrow we will continue with our 3-minute Humor nugget that will provide you with a bit of cheer, which will help you to lighten up and live a rich and satisfying life. So encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along with us tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.’If you would like to listen to any of our past 1415 treks or read the Wisdom Journal, they are available at Wisdom-Trek.com. I encourage you to subscribe to Wisdom-Trek on your favorite podcast player so that each day’s trek will be downloaded automatically.

God Be In My… – Wisdom Unplugged

Wisdom – the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1415 of our Trek, and it is time for our 3-minute mini trek called Wisdom Unplugged. This short nugget of wisdom includes an inspirational quote with a little bit of additional content for today’s trek. Consider this your vitamin supplement of wisdom for today. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget:

Today’s quote is from  Old Sarum Primer, and it is:   God be in my head, And in my understanding; God be in my eyes, And in my looking; God be in my mouth, And in my speaking; God be in my heart, And in my thinking; God be at my end, And at my departing.     

God Be In My…

In what areas of your life do you allow God to permeate? Are you shutting God out of certain areas? God is to be integrated into every aspect of our lives.  Jesus Christ reiterated the Old Testament command from God when He declared that the entire teachings of the law and prophets were summed up in these two principles found in Luke 10:27 The man answered, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”  No part of our life is exempt from God’s control and influence. God is to permeate our head through our understanding of Him. God is in what we gaze upon. God is to be in our speech; that is every word that proceeds from our mouths. God is to be in our hearts, which controls how we think. God is to part of every aspect of our life as we both begin and end each day. Ask yourself, has God infiltrated all of my life?

That’s a wrap for today’s Wisdom Unplugged quote. If you would like free access to my database of over 11,000 inspirational quotes, the link is available on the main page of Wisdom-Trek.com. Just as you enjoy these nuggets of wisdom, encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.’ If you would like to listen to any of our past 1414 treks or read the Wisdom Journal, they are available at Wisdom-Trek.com. I encourage you to subscribe to Wisdom-Trek on your favorite podcast player so that each day’s trek will be downloaded automatically.
