Why Do Salmon Swim Upstream?

The world is filled with wonder—but most of it we overlook. In this powerful insight, Michael Rothschild takes a simple, almost strange phenomenon—the journey of the salmon—and reveals something much deeper behind it.

Why would a fish fight powerful currents, traveling thousands of miles, just to return to the exact place it was born? It seems inefficient… even irrational. But when you step back, a bigger picture begins to emerge—one of precision, design, and purpose.

This isn’t just about fish. It’s about how God sustains every living creature in ways we rarely stop to notice.

In this video, he covers:

• Why salmon swim upstream—and why it’s not random
• How this “illogical” behavior actually sustains entire ecosystems
• The connection between salmon and the survival of bears
• The idea that every creature has “custom-designed” sustenance
• How this all points to God’s ongoing role in sustaining the world

Next time you make a blessing, take a second.
There’s more going on than you think.
