This compilation of videos and video resources offers a glimpse into the beauty, complexity, and diversity of the world God created. These videos were primarily assembled to aid with one of the exercises in A Guide to Practicing God’s Presence (the companion, online training guide to Life in the Presence of God: Practices for Living in Light of Eternity). We will continue to add to this list as we come across new videos that we believe help evoke awe of the work of our Creator.
