I reflect on the words of Isaiah 61:1—how Jesus came to bring good news to the brokenhearted, freedom to the captives, and release to the prisoners. At that moment in my life, I was all of these things: burdened by grief, trapped in cycles of self-destruction, and longing for a freedom I couldn’t find.We also explore Saul’s transformation on the road to Damascus, a story that paralleled my own unexpected encounter with Jesus.

In an instant, I knew: God saved me.From that moment, my understanding of Jesus shifted. The Bible, once familiar but distant, came alive in a way I had never experienced.

Confessions of a Troll Artemis Greenleaf on Podiobooks.com "It was just a simple computer prank. How could I have known that it would almost get us all killed?"When sixteen year old Cai Peterson poses as an online troll to relieve the boredom after being grounded for drinking at a party, he tangles with a cyberstalker who's not only willing to make his virtual life miserable, but his real life as well. As Cai searches for the stalker, it seems like nearly everyone in his sleepy Texas town has something to hide. Surrounded by suspects, Cai has to navigate a shifting landscape of treachery and truth to uncover a hidden enemy before he and his family pay the ultimate price. Communication in the Past Communicasts Today communication as one of the most important skills. And this was also true for the early modern period – the period which started with Gutenberg’s great invention and which saw ideas spread faster than ever before. During this time gossip played an important role, uncomfortable truths could cost lives and things took a dramatic turn when books and pamphlets were massproduced. In this podcast you will hear fascinating stories of people who tried to communicate effectively. But not everyone succeeded.All of these stories are documented even if some sound too good to be true. And to give you a feel for the time, each episode contains fitting background sounds. These podcasts revolve around effective communication and this is why you’ll get every story in just 10 minutes. I am your host Saskia and I hope you enjoy the stories as much as I do. In case you do, I would be very happy to see you spread the word about my podcasts.A thousand thanks! Change Your Story, Change Your Life Louis Di Bianco Humans are storytelling machines. You and I are constantly creating, destroying, elevating, and diminishing ourselves with our inner narratives that appear and disappear in our minds 24/7. Most people are not aware of this process. As a result, they believe that life is happening to them. This feels random, chaotic, and scary. Why do people tolerate it? Because they tell themselves, "That's the way it is. That is reality." Those seven words could not be farther from the truth. This podcast will explore the storytelling process that is responsible for every facet of your life. It will discuss and encourage ways to take control of your personal narrative so that you can begin directing your destiny with an empowering story. Living Tiny, Dreaming Big M.C. Starbuck Living tiny is about way more than a tiny house. It’s also about more than getting rid of stuff until you have nothing left to do. It’s about creating space to dream big.What could you do, what would your life look like, if you were debt-free? Clutter-free? What if you weren’t carrying all that weight? What if, for once, you could say you aren’t too busy?Maybe you’ve tried it all before and have become accustomed to the idea that this excess will always be a part of your life. That you might as well not even fight it.I’ve been there. Decluttering is my biggest challenge. I used the excuses “I don’t have time” and “It isn’t that important.” I told myself the half-truth that I like my clutter. It adds memories and joy to my life.
