When the winds of curiosity rustle the mind and stir the soul, they often bring with them storytellers—those rare beings who don't just recount events but breathe life into them. On today's episode, we welcome Joe Kowalski, a young filmmaker from Cleveland whose creative spirit dances between shadows and light, weaving stories through film, mystery, and innovation.Joe Kowalski is a filmmaker, game designer, and storyteller whose projects explore new ways to experience narrative across media.In this profound conversation, we journey through Joe's unique endeavor—a Stephen King “Dollar Baby” short film adaptation titled I Am the Doorway. What begins as a seemingly simple homage to the horror maestro evolves into a lesson in humility, time management, and artistic vision. Joe's choice of story, influenced by a girlfriend and the limitations of a shoestring budget, was no accident. It was a study in resourcefulness—making the most of what one has while honoring a source of immense creative power. “You have to know what you can realistically accomplish,” Joe said. And that, my friends, is wisdom beyond years.Joe didn't stop at simply retelling a tale. He reframed the horror classic into a new cinematic experience, wrapping Stephen King's suspense within a short film festival format. This wasn't about profit or prestige—it was about community, experimentation, and delivering value to the audience. His respect for the time and effort of collaborators is unwavering: “That's the biggest thing they can give you,” he mused. And in a world obsessed with the bottom line, such reverence is sacred.But his imagination doesn't remain tethered to the screen. Joe designed an interactive Instagram murder mystery game—an elegant rebellion against linear storytelling. Through a labyrinth of tags and grids, players navigate a digital whodunit, one clue at a time. Each piece of the game reveals not just a path to the culprit, but a deeper truth about human curiosity and our hunger for connection. It's a digital scavenger hunt of intention, ingenuity, and play. A new mythology told in swipes and likes.Lest one believe that his path has been frictionless, Joe admits to the chaos of low-budget production, the stress of festivals, and the heartbreak of seeing good work shelved for lack of fit. Still, he views each project as a sculptor views stone—not yet perfect, but perfecting. His year-long film PRISM is another feather in this vibrant cap—a color-coded exploration of identity and emotional entanglement told through color-isolated cinematography. Here is a man who does not merely shoot films; he paints them.Throughout the conversation, what resounds most is Joe's blend of youthful energy and ancient patience. He reveres the creative process, yet he's unafraid to let go when the time calls for it. Whether planning podcasts with friends or studying the rise of VR storytelling, Joe doesn't merely chase the next trend—he studies its rhythm, its heartbeat, and asks how it might elevate human experience. “You have to care about the story even when you don't feel like caring about it,” he says—and that is the quiet devotion of an artist in bloom.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

What happens when doctors dismiss your symptoms for years, even as you're coughing up blood? For Amy, this medical gaslighting journey finally ended with a diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension in March 2023, followed by immediate hospitalization and life-altering treatments.Amy's story isn't just about receiving difficult diagnoses – including a rare heart defect, genetic mutation, and eventually breast cancer. It's about her revolutionary decision to reject the limitations others tried to place on her life. When her doctor automatically assumed she would need to quit her beloved career as a hairstylist and apply for disability, Amy pushed back with a simple question: "Why?" This moment transformed her approach to healthcare forever.Throughout our conversation, Amy shares powerful insights about navigating the healthcare system as your own best advocate. "Your doctor is not your friend," she explains, encouraging listeners to approach medical appointments like interviews where you're assessing if this provider deserves to be on your healthcare team. Her practical suggestions – from asking doctors to document refusals in your chart to seeking second opinions without apology – provide a roadmap for anyone struggling to be heard.The emotional impact of chronic illness resonates deeply throughout our discussion. Amy beautifully articulates the complex emotions behind diagnosis tears – not self-pity as many assume, but relief at finally being heard, grief for what's lost, and determination to create a meaningful life despite limitations. Her work with "Know Your Lemons" breast cancer awareness organization and her goals to lower mammogram screening ages show how advocacy can transform personal pain into powerful purpose.Ready to find your voice in a healthcare system that too often silences patients?

In this episode of True Hauntings, we lock ourselves in with the lost, the violent, and the vengeful. They called it “The Closest Thing to Hell.” A name scrawled on a wooden sign by a chicken thief, but backed by nearly a century of darkness. The Old Licking County Jail in Ohio shut its doors in 1987 after 98 brutal years—but the inmates never left. Join Anne and Renata as they step inside a fortress of stone and steel where tormented souls still linger. From chilling EVPs and shadowy apparitions to the slamming of unseen cell doors and eerie chants echoing through the halls, this is more than just a haunted jail—it's a prison of the damned. With infamous inmates like the murderous Laura Devlin—who earned herself a new name after a crime too twisted to forget—this place doesn't just hold echoes of the past… it replays them.

Let's be friends!Storytelling has the power to bridge divides in ways direct confrontation cannot. In this captivating conversation with author Corinne Cavanaugh, we explore how fiction creates safe spaces to navigate controversial topics and what it truly means to be an audacious woman.Corinne shares the genesis of her debut novel "An Audacious Woman," describing it as "a mashup between modern-day Bridgerton and Sex and the City." The book revolves around Eleanor Beaufort, a wealthy matriarch who feels trapped by her family legacy despite inheriting a $70 million mansion. Through Eleanor's journey, readers glimpse moments of boldness that inspire reflection on their own abandoned audacity—those times before the weight of adult responsibility settled in.What makes this conversation particularly compelling is Corinne's personal transformation. With a Harvard master's degree and successful marketing career, she made the bold choice to pursue fiction writing. Her methodical approach—creating a 5-7 AM writing routine before work and learning from established authors—offers a blueprint for anyone wondering how to pursue their passions alongside existing commitments. Her advice? "Be bold faster. If you've got this inkling, this one idea you've been meaning to do, don't wait."Beyond literary pursuits, our discussion ventures into provocative territory as Corinne challenges the current culture of division. Drawing from her background studying democratization, she advocates for bringing difficult conversations back to the dinner table. "The public needs to be able to feel comfortable talking about these things," she explains, noting that her novel demonstrates how vulnerability and listening can lead to understanding.Whether you're contemplating a major life change, seeking permission to prioritize yourself, or simply wanting an engaging read, Corinne's insights will leave you contemplating what audacity might look like in your own life. After all, as she reminds us: "We've got one ride. Might as well go and chase them."https://corinnecavanaugh.com/home-corinne-cavanaugh/

What happens when the very thing that once lit you up feels out of reach—yet still lives deep in your soul, waiting to be reclaimed? In this episode, we sit down with Carla Sciaky, a lifelong musician, who opens up about her incredible journey from early musical brilliance to facing a dark night of the soul that transformed everything. Carla shares how her relationship with music shifted from pressure and perfectionism to something sacred—purpose-driven, healing, and deeply connected to Spirit. We explore how silence became her ally, how creativity cycles through light and shadow, and how music—far beyond just entertainment—has the power to change lives, starting with her own.From the science behind music's effect on the brain and body to its emotional influence on infants and elders alike, Carla offers a unique blend of personal story and universal truth. How does music shape our development? And what role can it play in reconnecting with who we truly are? Whether you're an artist, healer, or simply someone navigating your own transformation, Carla's wisdom will stir something in your soul. Tune in to remember the power of music—not just as a sound, but as a force for connection, healing, and coming home to yourself.Ways to Connect with Carla & her Music:https://www.carlasciaky.com/http://www.doorwaytoyourlife.com/Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n89CPWG4uELyric video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtQKKSbrEkgOrder an album on Carla's website: https://carlasciaky.com/index.html#storeP.S. A note from Carla: "It occurred to me to say that I really want other coaches, therapists, healers, etc., to feel free to use any of my songs in their work with clients, For example, my 12-step sponsor used to use my song “Awakening” (title song of my 1995 release) to do workshops and journaling exercises with recovering addicts. Putting on my musician/songwriter hat, I want to honor all musicians with the reminder that it is most respectful for anyone who puts our songs to use in this way to actually purchase either the individual cut or the album as a whole, and also to credit the songwriter, whoever it is. And at the same time, I would rather someone use it from YouTube or Spotify than not use it at all! I just want to mention that out of respect to all my fellow songwriters."About Carla Sciaky:Carla Sciaky has enjoyed over five decades in her career as a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, including a 2019 induction in the Colorado Music Hall of Fame with the group the Mother Folkers. Renowned for her clear articulate voice, strong fingerpicking style, and a warm intimacy with her audiences, she has toured the US and Europe, amassed a discography on Green Linnet and her own Propinquity labels, and was awarded awards and recognition for her songwriting in such arenas as the Kerrville New Song Competition, the Louisville (KY) songwriting competition, the Colorado Arts and Humanities Fellowship for Composition, and the Billboard Songwriting Competition. Her most recent solo album Heart of the Swan soared to the top of the folk radio charts upon its release in October 2024, and her music video “Standing by a River” has won multiple awards at film festivals worldwide in the categories of music video and songwriting. Carla has also performed on baroque violin as a core member of the Baroque Chamber Orchestra of Colorado and Sémplice Baroque, with Wyoming Baroque, Colorado Chamber Players and more. She lives with her husband Dan in Lakewood, Colorado, working as a published author and public speaker and with clients as a life coach through her practice Doorway to Your Life.Chapters00:00 Carla Sciaky's Musical Journey05:24 The Call Back to Music12:24 The Dark Night of the Soul17:32 Transforming the Creative Process25:54 The Impact of Music on People39:12 Music's Universal Language and Emotional Influence44:57 The Role of Silence in Creativity49:38 The Evolution of Music and Technology

On this episode, we dig into a haunting from Woonsocket, Rhode Island—a city with a past steeped in the remnants of the American industrial age. A cramped family home becomes the epicenter of something deeply unsettling, divided between a playful spirit below and a sinister presence above. What begins with laughter in the basement slowly spirals into something far more disturbing, especially for the women who dare to stay the night.   As we unravel the first-hand account of a man still living in that very house, we explore the psychological fractures caused by repeated encounters, and a lingering question that chills the core: What happened between the girl in the basement... and the man who won't stop staring from the doorway?

The believer who prays is a believer who is empowered. But not just any kind of prayer—this kind of transformation comes through prayer that is fervent, faith-filled, and persistent. It's the kind of prayer that refuses to give up, that presses in when answers seem delayed, and that believes God is working even when nothing seems to be changing. When we pray like this, we are not just speaking words into the air—we are communing with the Spirit of the Living God. And in that place of prayer, His power begins to work in us, changing our desires, renewing our minds, healing our hearts, and strengthening our inner man. If you want to walk in the fullness of what the Spirit has for you, then prayer is the pathway–The doorway to Transformation.

Avoiding Your Pain is Blocking Your Healing  In this episode of The Energy to Heal, Laura Milliken dives deep into the connection between emotions, healing, and spirituality. Our culture often teaches us to suppress feelings, but Laura reminds us that emotions are not the enemy—they are a compass that God has given us to lead us into deeper emotional intelligence, spiritual authority, and healing. You'll learn how emotional awareness impacts not only your own mental health and relationship with the Holy Spirit, but also how it shapes your parenting and your ability to connect vulnerably with others. Laura also shares practical journaling prompts designed to help you steward your emotions with honesty and grace, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide you through them instead of avoiding them.  What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✅ Why emotions are vital for true healing and spiritual growth ✅ How emotional intelligence protects your mental health and strengthens spiritual warfare ✅ The importance of emotional vulnerability in parenting and relationships ✅ How Jesus modeled a full range of emotions—and why that's important for you ✅ Tools for being emotionally honest with God without shame ✅ How journaling can unlock hidden emotions and foster healing Laura's heart is to help you stop running from your emotions and instead see them as a sacred part of your human experience—your pathway to true emotional authority and connection with God. About the Host Laura Milliken is a follower of Jesus, a mom of five, a Registered Nurse with a background in mental health and working with women in crisis, and a Masters Level Splankna Practitioner. She's also a TikTok influencer with over 470,000 followers where she explores emotional intelligence and healthy relationships.

The four Gospels give the biography of Jesus. Four different writers with four different perspectives. Yet all four, focus on the last week of Jesus life. 35% of each book is devoted to the last week. Matthew, Luke, Mark (Peter) and John, all felt we could not understand Jesus unless we understood this last week of His life. Palm Sunday is a Day and a Doorway. It matters because of the paradoxes revealed. A week that begins in triumph ends in tragedy. The Jews were expecting Jesus to overthrow the Roman rulers, but instead, He overthrew death, hell, the grave, sin and darkness. The last week signaled a paradigm shift for humanity. From cheering crowds to the weeping Christ. From joy to judgement. From waving palm branches to waving whips. Matthew 21 tells of Jesus cleansing the Temple. The Jews were expecting a Regime Change-they got a Revolution! Mark 11, the donkey takes up half the story. Why does Jesus need this donkey? Why does He get it in such an unusual way? This begs the question: What does He need from you? What do you have that no one else has to advance the Kingdom? Luke 19 contrasts the reaction to Jesus: a story of Mixed Reviews. John 12 is a preview of Coming Attractions; by tying Jesus' entry to Lazarus' death and resurrectionS, previews what Jesus will go through. John 12;23-24 Palm Sunday is not, and cannot be, just a day of triumph (He's King!), but also the start of His suffering (the only crown this King will wear is thorns). It wasn't long before those singing “Hosanna,” were shouting, “Crucify Him.” Philippians 2:5-11 Christ's trajectory- kenosis-downward emptying, then upward exaltation. The same path is required for believers today! The last week of Jesus' life is a tale of two basins: The basin Jesus used to wash the disciple's feet. The basin Pilot used to wash his hands of responsibility for this state-sponsored murder. The last week of Jesus life was a turning point, from action to passion. Things are no longer done by Him, but TO Him. Jesus most powerful work is done in His passion. Could it just be possible that our greatest contribution in life may be not through our achievements as usually defined but through our suffering?” This week culminated with Jesus dying between two felons. Jesus became the One who does not count, so He could rescue all of us who do not count. Today, we celebrate the day, and we walk through the Doorway! +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally

When the winds of curiosity rustle the mind and stir the soul, they often bring with them storytellers—those rare beings who don't just recount events but breathe life into them. On today's episode, we welcome Joe Kowalski, a young filmmaker from Cleveland whose creative spirit dances between shadows and light, weaving stories through film, mystery, and innovation.Joe Kowalski is a filmmaker, game designer, and storyteller whose projects explore new ways to experience narrative across media.In this profound conversation, we journey through Joe's unique endeavor—a Stephen King “Dollar Baby” short film adaptation titled I Am the Doorway. What begins as a seemingly simple homage to the horror maestro evolves into a lesson in humility, time management, and artistic vision. Joe's choice of story, influenced by a girlfriend and the limitations of a shoestring budget, was no accident. It was a study in resourcefulness—making the most of what one has while honoring a source of immense creative power. “You have to know what you can realistically accomplish,” Joe said. And that, my friends, is wisdom beyond years.Joe didn't stop at simply retelling a tale. He reframed the horror classic into a new cinematic experience, wrapping Stephen King's suspense within a short film festival format. This wasn't about profit or prestige—it was about community, experimentation, and delivering value to the audience. His respect for the time and effort of collaborators is unwavering: “That's the biggest thing they can give you,” he mused. And in a world obsessed with the bottom line, such reverence is sacred.But his imagination doesn't remain tethered to the screen. Joe designed an interactive Instagram murder mystery game—an elegant rebellion against linear storytelling. Through a labyrinth of tags and grids, players navigate a digital whodunit, one clue at a time. Each piece of the game reveals not just a path to the culprit, but a deeper truth about human curiosity and our hunger for connection. It's a digital scavenger hunt of intention, ingenuity, and play. A new mythology told in swipes and likes.Lest one believe that his path has been frictionless, Joe admits to the chaos of low-budget production, the stress of festivals, and the heartbreak of seeing good work shelved for lack of fit. Still, he views each project as a sculptor views stone—not yet perfect, but perfecting. His year-long film PRISM is another feather in this vibrant cap—a color-coded exploration of identity and emotional entanglement told through color-isolated cinematography. Here is a man who does not merely shoot films; he paints them.Throughout the conversation, what resounds most is Joe's blend of youthful energy and ancient patience. He reveres the creative process, yet he's unafraid to let go when the time calls for it. Whether planning podcasts with friends or studying the rise of VR storytelling, Joe doesn't merely chase the next trend—he studies its rhythm, its heartbeat, and asks how it might elevate human experience. “You have to care about the story even when you don't feel like caring about it,” he says—and that is the quiet devotion of an artist in bloom.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.

Key Takeaways: Truth is the threshold between devastation and transformation. The hardest truth to tell is often the one we tell ourselves. Ignoring the truth only makes it louder. Real healing begins when we stop lying to ourselves. Truth is not a weapon; it is a doorway to freedom. Emotional maturity is essential for telling and hearing the truth. We must integrate the truth we receive into our lives. Living in truth requires daily decisions to honor what is real. Trusting ourselves is the foundation of personal empowerment. Freedom is only possible when we have the emotional maturity to hold it.

They say family is everything—unless, of course, it's late at night and your ‘family member' is grinning at you from the bedroom doorway after a long day of exploring a spooky old mansion. Summer in Somerset was meant for sunshine, cows in the field, and definitely not for poltergeists auditioning for the role of creepy sibling. But that's what you get when you wander too far onto private property, ignoring every sign your own goosebumps tried to give you. From shattered windows and lingering apparitions to footsteps that don't quite belong to anyone breathing, this episode shines a flashlight on just how wrong a lazy afternoon can go when the paranormal decides to crash your family outing.  If you have a real ghost story or supernatural event to report, please write into our show or call 1-855-853-4802!

By the time Japanese launched their air attack force on the US Naval base of Pearl Harbour, in Hawaii, raining down a hail of metal from the Pacific sky, the US had already been quietly preparing an Oceania invasion force, flooding troops into hastily prepared Army bases in Eastern Australia. With over a million American troops passing through the country, statistics might suggest that some would have been less desirable guests than others. The frightening reality that at least one would turn out to be a serial killer was a different matter entirely, a reality that certainly seemed to catch both the Americans and the Australians equally by surprise.
