Summary

Pastor, author and speaker Mark Batterson joins Blake to discuss his new book, A Million Little Miracles. Building on themes from his earlier work, Mark dives into the idea of everyday miracles, exploring how small moments of beauty and gratitude can transform our lives. The conversation highlights how acknowledging these smaller blessings—like breathing or witnessing the changing colors of leaves—can help us see the world through a lens of wonder and gratitude. Mark encourages listeners to cultivate a “holy curiosity,” a perspective that appreciates the complexities of creation and sees every day as filled with divine purpose. The episode ultimately invites listeners to redefine miracles, seeing them in both the big, life-altering events and the quiet, daily gifts that often go unnoticed. In this episode, you’ll be able to… Discover how to recognize and appreciate everyday miracles in your life, from small moments to major blessings. Learn about the transformative power of gratitude and how it can shift your perspective. Explore the idea of seeing yourself and others as "walking, talking miracles," fostering deeper compassion and connection. Mark is the author of A Million Little Miracles — available everywhere on November 19!
