She had everything to lose — and she walked in anyway.In Episode 3 of Treasured: Women of the Bible, we step into the palace with Esther — an orphan, an exile, and a queen with a dangerous secret. When an irreversible edict threatened to destroy every Jewish person in the Persian Empire, Esther faced the most defining question of her life: stay silent and stay safe, or speak up and risk everything.Her answer has echoed through thousands of years of history. And today, it speaks directly to you.

Why does everything worth having take so long?In Episode 18 of the "What's In Your Hands?" series, we unpack one of the most quoted verses in scripture — Isaiah 40:31. But we're going deeper than the soaring. The Hebrew word for "hope" here is qavah — it means to wait with expectation, to be braided together like a rope, getting stronger strand by strand. The wait isn't idle time. It's braiding time.We'll explore what eagles actually do — how they fly into storms instead of away from them, how they go through a painful molting process where they strip themselves down to nothing before emerging renewed — and why the verse is structured in reverse order: soar, run, walk. Because more people faint in the walk than fail in the flight.If you're on the cliff right now wondering when the wings will grow back, this episode is your reminder — the wait builds the wing. And God doesn't build wings for birds that will never fly.

Who told you that you can't?In Episode 17 of the "What's In Your Hands?" series, we go back to the very beginning — the garden of Eden. After Adam and Eve ate the fruit and hid in shame, God asked a question that should stop every one of us in our tracks: "Who told you that you were naked?"God didn't ask "what did you do?" His first response to their shame was — who told you? Where did that voice come from? Because that feeling of not being enough? That's not from Me.We'll trace the enemy's strategy from the garden to your 2026 thought life — how he twists God's truth into believable lies, why shame is his favorite weapon, and what God actually does with our fig leaves. Spoiler: He replaces them with something better.If you've been believing a lie about yourself, this episode will help you trace it back to its source — and replace it with what God actually says.

What do you do when you've got nothing left and the bills are still coming?In Episode 16 of the "What's In Your Hands?" series, we go to one of the most overlooked miracles in the Old Testament — the widow's oil in 2 Kings 4:1-7. A widow at absolute zero. Dead husband. Creditors coming to take her sons. And all she has is a small jar of olive oil that she almost didn't mention.But Elisha asks her the same question God has been asking us throughout this series — what do you have? And then he tells her something that changes everything: go borrow jars from your neighbors. Don't ask for just a few. Because the oil kept pouring — and it didn't stop because God ran out. It stopped because she ran out of jars.Your capacity to receive determines the size of your miracle. We'll unpack why God starts with what you already have, why faith requires action before evidence, and why God's supply outlasts your capacity — every time.If you've been playing small, it's time to go get more jars.

Architecture is the ultimate influencer. Everyone is immersed in it everyday. Unfortunately, many environments we see as normal are not the kind of places where we should be hanging out. My guest Danish Kurani shares strategies to democratize good design. When people understand how design choices shape health, performance, and human connection, they recognize the true value of architecture. If architects want to design great spaces, we have to do a better job explaining to people why they matter. There is a Machine of Bad Design that has commoditized design for everyday life while isolating the work of architects consisting of media, retail, real estate and developers. Buildings should support our activities and enhance our life, not be something filled with hidden forces we have to overcome. We might have a problem of too much individual space and not enough community space. Real architecture solves real problems for real people.

Have you ever prayed for God to remove something — and He said no?In Episode 15 of the "What's In Your Hands?" series, we go to one of the most vulnerable moments in scripture — Paul pleading with God three times to remove his thorn in the flesh. And God's answer wasn't removal. It was something more radical: My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.We don't know what Paul's thorn was — and that's intentional. Because whatever your thorn is, this passage is for you. We'll unpack why God doesn't always remove the pain, what "sufficient" actually means, and the kingdom paradox that when you are weak, then you are strong. Your weakness isn't disqualifying you — it's creating the exact conditions for God's power to show up in its fullest expression.If you've been hiding your thorn, this episode will set you free.

If you knew exactly how many days you had left, would you spend today the way you're planning to?In Episode 14 of the "What's In Your Hands?" series, we unpack one of the oldest prayers in the Bible — Psalm 90:12. Moses didn't pray for more time. He prayed for the wisdom to use the time he had. Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.James says your life is a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Moses says seventy or eighty years — and they quickly pass. This isn't meant to scare you. It's meant to wake you up.We'll talk about why we live like time is unlimited, the difference between head knowledge and heart knowledge about the brevity of life, and three practical ways to start numbering your days — including a challenge that involves your phone calculator and a number that will change how you see every morning.If you've been drifting, this is your wake-up call.

In this groundbreaking episode of The Ash Said It Show, host Ash Brown sits down with celebrated behavioral specialist, international speaker, and 30-year eldercare veteran Lisa Skinner for a raw, unfiltered conversation that dismantles traditional, counterproductive approaches to dementia caregiving. For decades, well-meaning families and medical professionals have relied on "reality orientation"—the practice of constantly correcting, reminding, and pulling a cognitively impaired person back into our present facts. Drawing from the deeply moving stories and clinical breakthroughs in her acclaimed book, Truth, Lies & Alzheimer's: Its Secret Faces, Skinner argues that this traditional method is not only ineffective, but it can also be actively cruel to a failing brain. Instead of forcing a person living with dementia to conform to our stark reality, Skinner delivers a masterclass in empathy-driven communication and validation therapy. She challenges caregivers to perform an act of radical love: to completely abandon their own timeline and step fearlessly into the patient's reality. When a loved one's brain is undergoing biological regression, meeting them exactly where they are mentally is the only way to preserve their dignity and prevent severe emotional trauma.

Who told you who you are?In Episode 13 of the "What's In Your Hands?" series, we go to one of the most dramatic moments in scripture — Jacob wrestling with God all night long at the river Jabbok. God asks him one question: what is your name? And the moment Jacob confesses the old name — deceiver, trickster, manipulator — God renames him Israel. Overcomer.But here's what most people miss: God didn't rename him before the confession. He renamed him after. Because you can't receive a new identity until you're honest about the old one. And the limp Jacob walked away with? That wasn't punishment. That was proof he met God in the dark and came out transformed.We'll talk about why so many of us answer to names that were never ours, why the wrestling is part of the process, and three truths about your name — including why the limp is part of the testimony.If you've been wearing a label someone else put on you, it's time for a rename.

Are we alone? In this short-isode, Elton traces the bizarre, hilarious, and occasionally unhinged history of humanity's quest for alien communication. From Frank Drake's Equation in 1961, a mathematical roadmap for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), to the times before radio, when our ideas were pure fantasy: he dives into the wild ideas and scams. Like, the 19th-century scheme to burn massive geometric messages onto the surface of Mars using a gargantuan, laser-focused mirror. For real.From those ambitious, largely insane, early visual signals to the iconic messages we've strapped to spaceships—we've spent centuries leaving a very expensive voicemail for an unknown recipient.We also explore the cosmic artifacts and phenomena that made us stop and whisper, "Is someone calling us?" Learn the true story behind the Black Knight Satellite (spoiler: it's an escaped blanket), the enduring mystery of the Wow! Signal, and the strange case of 'Oumuamua, the cigar-shaped interstellar visitor.Finally, we confront the ultimate cosmic buzzkill: the Fermi Paradox. If the galaxy should be crowded, "Where is everybody?" We discuss the terrifying ethical debate over intentional messaging (METI) and the chilling logic of the Dark Forest Theory. Tune in to find out why, even in crushing silence, we simply cannot stop shouting "Hello?" into the dark.GET THE BOOK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠From Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠From an Indie Book Seller⁠⁠⁠⁠BECOME AN Elton Reads A Book A Week CONTRIBUTOR HERE:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Elton Reads A Book A Week Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me A Coffee!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SOCIAL MEDIA!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This is the LINK TREE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Discord server!⁠⁠⁠EMAIL: eltonreadsabookaweek@gmail.comThe following section is reserved for the people, places, things, and more that Elton probably offended in this episode--THE APOLOGIES SECTION: Martians, New Yorkers...again, TalkToAliens.com users, UFO conspiracy theorists, etc.A special thanks to Diedrich Bader and Jenna Fischer for all their inspiration.Tags: Drake Equation, Fermi Paradox, SETI, METI, Extraterrestrial Intelligence, Frank Drake, Cosmic Silence, Voyager Golden Records, Pioneer Plaques, Arecibo Message, Alien Communication, Interstellar Communication, Charles Cros, Wow!

Join me for a livestream interview with Cherry Parra, author of The Left Hand Path of Tarot, as we explore shadow, divination, witchcraft, and the transformative power of tarot through a left-hand path lens.Cherry Parra is a Mexican left-hand path witch residing in Mexico. She majored in Hispanic literature and has an innate and inherited connection to occult practices, with her magic stemming from a matriarchal lineage of healers. Her great-grandmother was a witch and curandera, a traditional folk healer from Oaxaca in southern Mexico, whom people in the community would seek out for healing matters of body and spirit.Cherry's work centres on illuminating the uncomfortable truths many prefer to avoid. For her, the shadows are both a second home and profound teachers. She lives and maintains a closed spiritual practice in Mexico, where she reads tarot for a select international clientele that includes artists, creatives, and visionaries.GET THE BOOK https://amzn.to/4dntLpoCONNECT & SUPPORT

Have you ever had a plan that was perfect — and then God said… turn left?In Episode 12 of the "What's In Your Hands?" series, we unpack Proverbs 16:9 — in their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. Your plan is your intention. God's establishment is the actual path. And they rarely match.We'll walk through Joseph's thirteen-year detour from the pit to the palace, why the Israelites took forty years on an eleven-day journey, and the powerful difference between trusting the dashboard and trusting the Driver. God's detours are not delays — they're divine setups for destinations your GPS couldn't find.If God just rerouted your plan and you're standing on a road you didn't choose — this episode will change how you see it.

Have you ever run completely out? Not just low — out. The money, the energy, the options — gone.In Episode 11 of the "What's In Your Hands?" series, we go to the Wedding at Cana — the very first miracle Jesus ever performed. And He didn't do it in a synagogue or on a mountaintop. He did it at a dinner party. Around food. Around celebration. Around a table.The wine ran out. The servants had nothing but water. And Jesus said — fill the jars to the brim. What happened next changed everything. He turned ordinary water into the finest wine the room had ever tasted. And the master of the banquet said something that will reshape how you see your life — "You have saved the best till now."We'll unpack why Mary's prayer is a masterclass in trust, why obedience comes before understanding, and the radical truth that God saves the best for last — your best days aren't behind you.

Get ready to dive back into the neon-soaked streets of L.A. and beyond! In this episode of Elton Reads A Book A Week, Elton takes on the ambitious crime epic Heat 2—the novel that somehow manages to be both a prequel and a sequel to Michael Mann's legendary 1995 film.Ever wondered what made Neil McCauley so cold or how Vincent Hanna became a "hyper-caffeinated" detective with a failing personal life? This episode breaks down the twelve-year arc that takes these iconic characters from the shadows of Chicago to the heat of Paraguay and Mexico. Elton also digs into the fascinating true story that inspired the original film, involving a real-life high-stakes meeting in a Chicago deli between a meticulous detective and a professional thief who lived by a 30-second rule.Expect plenty of Elton's signature "cinephile" rants, some very questionable theories about whether Chicago actually exists, and a recurring battle with his producer, [BLEEP], over whether the show needs more machine-gun sound effects. It's a deep dive into world-traveling heists, burning wreckage, and the "urban opera" of Michael Mann's universe.Listen in for:The Real Heat: The gritty 1960s true crime origins of the McCauley/Hanna rivalry.A Master at Work: A look at director Michael Mann's journey from driving cabs to "engineering" cinematic masterpieces.Behind the Pages: How a film director and a thriller novelist teamed up to expand a world millions already loved.Just... maybe don't take any actual life advice from the heist parts.GET THE BOOK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠From Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠From an Indie Book Seller⁠⁠⁠BECOME AN Elton Reads A Book A Week CONTRIBUTOR HERE:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Elton Reads A Book A Week Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tips!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SOCIAL MEDIA!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠This is the LINK TREE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Discord server!⁠⁠EMAIL: eltonreadsabookaweek@gmail.comThe following section is reserved for the people, places, things, and more that Elton probably offended in this episode--THE APOLOGIES SECTION: Clowns...again, flatulence, New York...again, those that get easily tricked, Penthouse Forum, and much, much more.A special thanks to Diedrich Bader and Jenna Fischer for all their inspiration."Expanding on the lives of characters like Vincent Hanna, Neil McCauley, and Chris Shiherlis before and after the movie's events. The book follows the formative years of the main characters and continues the story with new heists and characters, exploring their lives in the years leading up to and following the film's iconic bank robbery. It's known for its cinematic action, rich characterization, and fast-paced, hard-boiled style, becoming a #1 New York Times bestseller. "Heat 2, Michael Mann, Meg Gardiner, Heat Movie Sequel, Vincent Hanna, Neil McCauley, Chris Shiherlis, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Crime Fiction, Heist Novel, North Hollywood Shootout, Chuck Adamson, Chicago Crime History, Belden's Deli, Urban Opera, Heat 1995, Movie Trivia, Literary Analysis, Book Review, Comedy Podcast, Elton Reads A Book A Week, Pop Culture Commentary, GTA V Inspiration, The Dark Knight Influence, Miami Vice, Crime Thriller Books, Cinema History, Hard-Boiled Fiction.#Heat2 #MichaelMann #Heist #BookReview #ComedyPodcast #Podcast #Cinema #TrueCrime #NeilMcCauley #VincentHanna #Literature #CrimeFiction #ActionMovies #EltonReadsABookAWeek #MovieHistory #Sequel Review #books #reading #booktok #comedy #Heat #movie

Have you ever felt like everything is coming at you at once?In Episode 10 of the "What's In Your Hands?" series, we go to Ephesians 6:10-13 — Paul's battle manual for spiritual warfare. Written from a Roman prison cell, these verses reveal that our struggle isn't against flesh and blood. There's a spiritual dimension behind what you're experiencing. And if you're fighting the wrong enemy, you'll never win.We'll walk through every piece of the armor — the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit — and unpack what each one actually does in the fight. Plus, we'll talk about why the intensity of the attack is often an indicator of the size of what's on the other side.If everything is hitting at once right now, this isn't random. You might be closer to your breakthrough than you've ever been. Suit up.

What if the thing you're calling too small is the thing God is calling a test?In Episode 9 of the "What's In Your Hands?" series, we unpack Luke 16:10 - one of the most overlooked principles in all of scripture. Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much. That's God's promotion system. And it's nothing like the world's.We'll talk about why God starts you small on purpose, what David watching sheep and Moses tending flocks teaches us about the training ground for greatness, and the danger of despising the small assignment. Because how you do anything is how you'll do everything - and God is watching the small door more closely than you think.If you're in the small season - small audience, small budget, small assignment - this episode will change how you see it.

Do you ever feel like you're doing everything "right" for your sleep, yet you're still waking up exhausted? We spend a third of our lives unconscious, but most of what we think we know about those hours is a mix of old wives' tales and misunderstood science. In this episode, we're peeling back the covers on the most persistent sleep myths that are sabotaging your rest.We start with the big one: the terrifying warning that waking a sleepwalker could be fatal. We'll dive into why this myth exists, what actually happens to a sleepwalking brain, and the real dangers you should be worried about instead.Then, we tackle the "Sleep Debt" delusion. Can you really "catch up" on sleep over the weekend, or are you just digging a deeper hole for your circadian rhythm? We're breaking down the biological reality of REM cycles and why your brain isn't a bank account you can just balance on Sunday morning.In this episode, we also explore:The 8-Hour Rule: Why this "magic number" might actually be a modern invention of the Industrial Revolution rather than a biological necessity.The Nightcap Trap: Why that glass of wine might help you fall asleep faster but is actually a chemical "wrecking ball" for your sleep quality.Blue Light & Sleep Hygiene: the TikTok "hacks" from the peer-reviewed science of getting a better night's rest.Whether you're a lifelong insomniac, a chronic snoozer, or just curious about what happens when the lights go out, this deep dive will change the way you look at your mattress. We're separating the science of rest from the stories we tell ourselves in the dark.Stop counting sheep and start counting facts.GET THE BOOK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠From Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠From an Indie Book Seller⁠⁠⁠⁠BECOME AN Elton Reads A Book A Week CONTRIBUTOR HERE:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Elton Reads A Book A Week Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tips!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SOCIAL MEDIA!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This is the LINK TREE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Discord server!⁠⁠⁠EMAIL: eltonreadsabookaweek@gmail.comThe following section is reserved for the people, places, things, and more that Elton probably offended in this episode--THE APOLOGIES SECTION: Medical professionals, people having wet dreams, people with insomnia, and the "you know who you are" people.A special thanks to Diedrich Bader and Jenna Fischer for all their inspiration.

What happens to your faith when the storm hits?In Episode 8 of the "What's In Your Hands?" series, we close out this first batch of episodes with one of the most practical parables Jesus ever told — the wise man and the foolish man. Two builders. Two houses. One storm. Two completely different outcomes.Here's what most people miss: both builders heard the Word. Both showed up. Both listened. The difference wasn't knowledge — it was action. One heard and did. The other heard and didn't. And you couldn't tell the difference between them until the storm came.We'll unpack why storms don't discriminate, why what falls in the storm was never built to last, and why building on the rock is a daily decision — one brick at a time. Plus, a full series reflection tying together all 8 episodes and a look ahead at where we're going next.If you're in a storm right now — or you want to be ready for the next one — this episode is your blueprint.

It's 3 AM. Your eyes are open. The ceiling is staring back at you. And your mind is running a marathon you never signed up for.In Episode 7 of the "What's In Your Hands?" series, we unpack Philippians 4:6-7 - but not the way you've heard it before. Paul wrote these words from a Roman prison cell, chained up, future uncertain, death a real possibility. This isn't naive optimism. This is battle-tested faith.We'll walk through the four steps hidden in verse 6 - recognize it, redirect it, reframe it, receive it - and talk about why anxiety hits hardest at night, what the Greek military word "phroureo" reveals about how God's peace actually works, and three practical things you can do the next time you're lying awake at 3 AM with a mind that won't stop.If you've ever fought the 3 AM battle, this episode is your new weapon.

It was daily. And for everyone in a season that feels foreign, unglamorous, or invisible — this episode is for you.

We've all heard the phrase: “God loves you.” But what does that really mean?In this episode of Faith and Family Fellowship, we explore the message behind the book Jesus, Rwanda, and Gospel Love.This conversation challenges common assumptions about love and examines the difference between the love we experience naturally and the love revealed through the gospel. Through Scripture, reflection, and the historical backdrop of Rwanda, we discuss forgiveness, transformation, and what it means to love even those who have wronged us.This is not simply a conversation about emotion. It's a conversation about the kind of love that begins with God and changes everything.GET THE BOOK: https://www.amazon.com/Jesus-Rwanda-Gospel-Love-Moore/dp/1968442162

What are you holding onto right now that you're afraid to let go of?In Episode 6 of the "What's In Your Hands?" series, we dive into one of the most counterintuitive principles in scripture - Proverbs 11:24-25. One person gives freely, yet gains even more. Another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.God's economy runs in the opposite direction from the world's. In the world, you gain by holding. In the kingdom, you gain by giving. We'll unpack why clenched fists block what God wants to pour into your life, why generosity isn't just about money - it's a posture of trust - and the powerful difference between living like a river and living like a pond.If you've been gripping something so tight your hands are shaking - finances, time, control, forgiveness - this episode is your invitation to open up and let God do what He does best.

Have you ever felt buried?Not busy. Not overwhelmed. Buried. Like the world piled dirt on top of you and kept going. Like everything you worked for got covered up. Like you're underground and nobody even knows you're there.In Episode 5 of the "What's In Your Hands?" series, we unpack one of the most powerful things Jesus ever said — unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. (John 12:24)Something has to die for something greater to live. And what feels like a burial might actually be a planting. We'll talk about why the shell has to break, what God is doing in the underground season when nobody can see your progress, and three things to remember when you feel buried — including the truth that buried and planted look exactly the same from the outside. The difference is what you believe God is doing.If you feel stuck, hidden, or forgotten — this episode will change your perspective.

In this powerful interview, Isaiah Saldivar sits down with best-selling author Alexander Pagani to discuss his brand-new book, Manipulated: 10 Toxic Traits of Legalism. Pagani exposes how legalistic churches can twist Scripture, use fear and control to dominate believers, and replace the grace of Jesus with man-made rules.Drawing from his own experience in a cult-like denomination, Pagani reveals how legalism stifles spiritual growth, damages relationships, and leads to spiritual bondage. You'll learn how to identify manipulation in leadership, break free from religious control, and rediscover the true gospel of grace, love, and freedom in Christ.Get The Book here https://a.co/d/efkbFl8To sow into this stream Monthly/ONE time/ https://bit.ly/2NRIBcM PAYPAL https://shorturl.at/eJY57www.Isaiahsaldivar.comwww.Instagram.com/Isaiahsaldivarwww.Facebook.com/Isaiahsaldivarwww.youtube.com/IsaiahsaldivarOrder My New Book, "How To Cast Out Demons," Here! https://a.co/d/87NYEfcTo sow www.Isaiahsaldivar.com/partner

SPECIAL OPERATIONS GROUP -A no-holds barred account of life in the elite police Special Operations Group, high on danger and adrenalin. Chris Glasl joined Victoria Police at nineteen, with one aim in mind: to become a member of the Special Operations Group. Ultra-fit and highly trained, the SOG are called to the most dangerous missions: hostage situations, gunmen on the loose and risky mobile intercepts. After going through an incredibly gruelling elimination process, Chris joined the SOG in 1994, thinking he was becoming part of a unit that was untouchable, indestructible and bonded so closely together they were a brotherhood like no other. He didn't find that brotherhood. Instead, Chris experienced a unit rife with bullying, lies and betrayal. In combination with the dangerous missions they undertook and the pressure he experienced in each one, Chris needed a release valve, and he found it by taking drugs. It was the only way to switch off the adrenalin, to sleep at night, to get through his days. And those days involved fatal shootings, a triple murder, a 100-million-dollar drug bust and the Port Arthur massacre, to name just a few. This is the ultimate insider account of what it takes to be one of the toughest police officers in the world, and the price it demands. It's a white-knuckle ride that you will never forget. TOPICS OF CONVERSATION: About Special Operations Group and his inspiration — how rehab journaling and unresolved trauma led Chris to tell his story. Life inside the SOG — the reality behind the elite image, from tight teamwork in the field to bullying and toxic culture behind the scenes. The cost of silence — how addiction, mental health struggles, and lack of support nearly destroyed him. Standing up — the controversy, censorship, and determination to reclaim and republish his book. A message of resilience — urging others in high-pressure roles to seek help, speak up, and prioritize mental health. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Christophe Glasl joined Victoria Police at nineteen with one goal—to become part of the Special Operations Group. After completing one of the toughest training programs in law enforcement, he served in the unit from 1994 to 1998. He now shares his experiences to shed light on the realities and pressures of serving in an elite police unit.
