When you think of international trade and globalization, you probably think it is a relatively modern phenomenon.


However, the roots of globalization actually go back thousands of years. 


While there were many products that were originally traded, there was one particular category of goods that drove trade like no other: spices. 


Spices are common and ubiquitous today, but centuries ago they were extremely prized and valuable.


Learn more about the spice trade and how it shaped the world we live in today, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Daily Signal - Church’s Role in a World Moving Away From Biblical Principles

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, churches were some of the hardest-hit institutions in terms of crowd controls. Men and women were forced out of their places of worship by onerous government-imposed shutdowns, and it seemed like they were subject to additional restrictions that secular operations like liquor stores and massage parlors weren't.

In a nation that finds itself increasingly separating from the biblical principles that were the basis of its founding, those church shutdowns were devastating.

Grace Church, in Maryland Heights, Missouri, is one church that has decided to take a stand against COVID-19 restrictions—and against the drift away from biblical values.

Marty Haas, a biblical counseling pastor at Grace Church, joins the show to discuss the efforts his church is making to steer America back on track.

We also cover these stories:

  • During a U.N. Security Council meeting, Russia accuses the U.S. of “whipping up hysteria” over Ukraine.
  • Reps. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., and Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., criticize former President Donald Trump for suggesting that then-Vice President Mike Pence should have overturned the 2020 presidential election results.
  • California Gov. Gavin Newsom, attending the 49ers-Rams NFL playoff game, is photographed not wearing a mask.

The story follows a group of enslaved men and women who are forced to work on a plantation by day but dream together about freedom – and what's beyond the world they know – at night. Asim told NPR's Sacha Pfeiffer that he always writes with his ancestors looking over his shoulder: "I feel like I have a responsibility to honor that legacy of labor and sacrifice by doing the best I can and to take what it is that I do very seriously."
