YOUR WORD IS LAW.What if the words you speak every single day are shaping the reality you experience?Ben Mitchell returns to the Breaking Free Podcast for a powerful conversation about language, personal responsibility and the incredible influence our words can have on the way we think, feel and live.Drawing from his book Your Word Is Law, Ben breaks down the connection between language and personal empowerment and why keeping your word, choosing your language consciously and even embracing silence can completely change the way you show up in life.We dive into:• How our words can influence the reality we create.• The power of keeping promises to yourself and others.• Why silence can be one of your greatest tools.• Affirmations and conscious communication.• The origins of Ben's 10 frameworks.• How language can reveal unconscious patterns.• Breaking free from disempowering social programming.• The influence of media and external narratives.• Why personal growth starts with taking responsibility.• Gratitude, self-compassion and authenticity.• The positive changes Ben and Nathan are seeing in younger generations.This conversation isn't about blaming the world for where you are.It's about taking your power back.Because the moment you become conscious of the words you're speaking, the promises you're making and the stories you're repeating…You start changing the relationship you have with yourself and ultimately, your life.

Steve Cox/Matthew Walker) about to hit cinema screens this September, Skwigly were delighted to catch up with Sarah on her history, her current role at the studio, the value of Bristol as an animation locale and what makes "Shaun the Sheep" such an enduring franchise.

What would you think if you arrived at a trailhead and saw runners strapping full-size ironing boards to their backs? That's exactly how Don and Scott discovered Iron X, a 13-mile extreme ironing race through the trails of Auburn, California. Race creator Ben Mitchell and participant Brian Goldman explain the surprisingly real world of extreme ironing, the rules of carrying an ironing board through the wilderness, and the seven checkpoints where competitors must stop and iron their shirts in places ranging from the American River to an abandoned car. But beneath the absurdity is something that feels increasingly important in trail running: grassroots events built around community, creativity, and simply having a good time. The conversation also explores the challenges facing small race directors, the value of low-key “fat ass” events, and Brian's work helping financially struggling runners participate in the sport. It's a reminder that some of the best trail running experiences may have nothing to do with qualifying points, lotteries, or prestigious finish lines, and everything to do with showing up, finding your people, and not taking yourself too seriously.

What does it really mean to grow in spiritual maturity? In this morning devotional, Ben Mitchell explores why personal Bible study is essential for developing discernment, strengthening your conscience, and navigating today's culture with wisdom and confidence. Drawing from Hebrews 5, 2 Corinthians 10:5, and Philippians 4:8 (KJV), this devotional unpacks the difference between remaining spiritually immature and becoming a disciplined student of God's Word. The Christian life was never meant to be passive. Spiritual maturity requires training, discernment, and daily time in Scripture. In this episode, you'll discover: ✔ Why God's Word is essential for informing the Christian conscience ✔ What it means to move from "milk" to "strong meat" spiritually ✔ How to analyze culture through a Biblical lens without falling into fear or legalism ✔ Why spiritual growth is directly connected to time spent in Scripture ✔ How to take "every thought captive" to the obedience of Christ ✔ A Biblical framework for evaluating entertainment, media, and modern culture The world is constantly shaping hearts and minds. As Christians, we are called to renew our minds through the truth of God's Word and develop the discernment needed to stand firm in every season. "Strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." —Hebrews 5:14 (KJV)

What does it really mean to seek God—not occasionally, but diligently? In this morning devotional, we explore the biblical call to move beyond passive faith and become active pursuers of the Lord. Scripture doesn't describe a casual relationship with God—it calls us to seek Him with intention, consistency, and heart. Drawing from 1 Chronicles 22:17–19 and Hebrews 11:6 (KJV), Ben Mitchell unpacks what diligence looks like in the Christian life—and why it matters. In this episode, you'll learn: • What Biblical diligence actually means (and what it doesn't) • Why seeking God is an active, daily pursuit—not just a passive belief • How faith and action work together in the life of a believer • What it looks like to seek God in every season—even in doubt, grief, or spiritual dryness • Biblical examples from David, Jeremiah, and Hannah The truth is—God is not distant. He promises to be found by those who seek Him. "...he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." — Hebrews 11:6 (KJV) Whether you're starting your day or simply resetting your focus, this episode is an invitation to draw near to God with purpose.

Season 7 Premiere — The Word on Investing Podcast What if many Christians were never taught the full biblical picture of wealth? In this powerful Season 7 premiere, Ben Mitchell shares TRADEway's vision for 2026 — and the biblical foundation behind why stewardship, wisdom, and faithful work matter more than ever. For many believers, money has been surrounded by confusion, guilt, or misunderstanding. But Scripture paints a much bigger, hope-filled picture — one rooted in responsibility, wisdom, and long-term, God-honoring impact. In this episode, we discuss: • The difference between riches and true biblical wealth • Why Proverbs 21:20 calls believers to pursue wisdom and stewardship • What Colossians 3 teaches about work, purpose, and serving Christ • Why TRADEway does NOT teach "get rich quick" trading • How generational, God-honoring wealth is built over time • Why knowledge and wisdom are more valuable than gold At TRADEway, we believe stewardship starts with the right foundation — spiritually, mentally, and financially. Our mission is to help believers: • Replace fear with knowledge • Replace guessing with proven systems • Replace quick-money thinking with legacy stewardship • Use financial wisdom to serve God, family, and Kingdom impact If you've ever wondered: Is it biblical for Christians to build wealth? Does God want believers to prosper — or simply survive? Can investing be part of faithful stewardship? Key Scriptures Discussed: Proverbs 21:20 Colossians 3:23–24 Our Prayer For You: That you walk faithfully in your calling, steward wisely what God gives you, and use your work   to bring Him glory.     Learn More About TRADEway: Join the upcoming Unlock the Stock Market Challenge: tradeway.com/challenge Watch our free masterclass: Stock Trading: The New Gold Rush: tradeway.com/masterclass  Book a complimentary strategy session: tradeway.com/call Subscribe to The Word on Investing Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts.

Skwigly.com presents Animation One-To-Ones featuring Steve Henderson in conversation with Adam Elliot, director of Memoir of a Snail The now Oscar nominated feature film tells the story of Grace Pudel a book-loving, snail-collecting misfit that falls into a series of misfortunes after being separated from her twin brother Gilbert. Despite her hardships, inspiration and hope arise when Grace begins a friendship with an eccentric elderly woman named Pinky. Anyone familiar with the work of writer, director Adam Elliot from his Oscar winning film Harvey Krumpet or his first feature film Mary and Max, will know that the director has an innate ability to make the unloved subjects of his worlds very much adored by audiences and Memoir of a Snail is no stranger to that formula. Built on a budget that most features wouldn't even begin pre-production with, the film is not only a work of art, but also a labour of love, evident through the writing, construction and all round execution of this sincere work of genius. This interview was recorded the day after it's world premiere at Annecy festival where it got a well earned standing ovation, but we've squirrelled away our chat until now with the hope that after listening you'll all go out and support this film in UK cinemas.

About “Bird Song' Sebastian Faulks's epic story of love and loss returned to the stage marking the 30th anniversary of the international best-selling novel. ‘Bird Song' tells the story of one man's journey through an all-consuming love affair and into the horror of the First World War. In pre-war France, a young Englishman, Stephen Wraysford, embarks on a passionate and dangerous affair with the beautiful Isabelle Azaire that turns their world upside down. As the war breaks out over the idyll of his former life, Stephen must lead his men through the carnage of the Battle of the Somme and through the sprawling tunnels that lie deep underground. Faced with the unprecedented horror of the war Stephen clings to the memory of Isabelle as his world explodes around him. A mesmerising story of love and courage. Set both before and during the Great War. Starring award-winning actor Max Bowden, best known for the role of Ben Mitchell in Eastenders, and produced by the award-winning Original Theatre, who brought you the smash hit productions of The Mirror Crack'd by Agatha Christie, Murder in the Dark and The Habit of Art.

We all believe it is important to be ethical people and make good moral decisions. Right? The problem is if we can ever come to a conclusion about what qualifies as a "moral decision." C. Ben Mitchell writes, "If relativism is true, it also means that the search for enduring, universal moral norms is futile. But the fact that we live in a relativistic world also means that if relativism is not true, we need to know how to respond to a view that is so pervasive in our culture." Join me as we engage in a moral discussion and try to find clarity in a morally confused culture. "Ethics and Moral Reasoning" by C. Ben Mitchell will be our primary text today.

Presenting episode 117 of the Skwigly Animation Podcast! In this episode we look back at the incredible world of Wallace & Gromit, whose hotly-anticipated new feature-length outing 'Vengeance Most Fowl' will premiere in the UK on Christmas day! We also welcome the film's co-directors Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham as well as star Ben Whitehead (voice of Wallace) to learn more about the duo's latest adventure, which sees the return of the franchise's most beloved villain Feathers McGraw, known for his chillingly mute performance in 1993's BAFTA and Oscar-winning The Wrong Trousers. Gromit's concern that Wallace is becoming too dependent on his inventions proves justified, when Wallace invents a “smart” gnome that seems to develop a mind of its own. When it emerges that a vengeful figure from the past might be masterminding things, it falls to Gromit to battle sinister forces and save his master… or Wallace may never be able to invent again! The 70-minute long film will be the pair's first feature-length outing since 2005's Curse of the Were-Rabbit and is set to premiere on the BBC/BBC iPlayer this Christmas followed by a global release on Netflix in the new year.

Actor Kiell Smith-Bynoe is perhaps best known for playing the non-clairvoyant husband Mike in the BBC One series, Ghosts. Kiell grew up in East London and his future as a thespian was set in stone when at the age of five he began acting in nativity plays. He studied acting at East 15 Acting School, and he honed his skills by making musical skits in the early years of YouTube, and can now be seen on stage in 'The Government Inspector' and on our screens as the new host of The Great British Sewing Bee. Thankfully, his career in acting worked out, as in his own words, “My plan B was to be a grime MC”. So with that in mind we asked Kiell to share his Inheritance Track with us.
