Podcasts about incredible true story

In this inspiring full episode from Ward Radio at Angel Studios, Cardon Ellis sits down with Tanner Christensen, Brad Witbeck, and T.C. Christensen to discuss the powerful new documentary:Standout: The Ben Kjar Story.Born with Crouzon Syndrome—a rare craniofacial condition—doctors told Ben his life would be limited by surgeries, bullying, and differences. Instead, with incredible family support and faith, he defied the odds to become a 3-time high school state champion, Utah Valley University's first NCAA All-American wrestler, and a world champion in Greco-Roman wrestling.This conversation dives deep into the making of the film, the real-life triumphs and challenges, the power of community (especially in Latter-day Saint culture), and why this story transcends any one faith—it's about choosing to stand out rather than blend in. Funny, emotional, and motivating, this is a must-watch for anyone facing adversity.Watch the full movie Standout on Angel Studios or digital platforms.Use coupon code: FREEANGELSHIRT on the WardRadio.com Merch Store*(WHEN YOU BUY ANY SHIRT OR HAT)******YOU MUST STATE YOUR SIZE IN THE MESSAGE BOX OF YOUR ORDER*****FIRST TEN (10) CUSTOMERS#StandoutMovie #BenKjar #InspiringStory #OvercomingAdversity #Wrestling #Faith #LDS #AngelStudiosChapter Markers:00:00 Intro & Welcome to Angel Studios01:20 The Standout Story: Ben Kjar's Journey with Crouzon Syndrome03:45 Wrestling Against the Odds – State Champion & All-American06:30 How the Film Was Made – Documentary vs. Entertainment09:15 The Role of Family, Community & Faith12:40 Universal Lessons: Standing Out in Any Culture15:50 Working with Family & Behind-the-Scenes Stories18:30 Final Thoughts & Why You Need to Watch This MovieJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .

Thanks to Listener Matt Armstrong for sending in this absolute banger of a submission!In this epic episode of That Would Be Rad, Woody takes you on one of the wildest journeys in early American history - the true survival odyssey of Spanish explorer Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca. Shipwrecks, slavery, starvation, cannibalism, miraculous healings… and then the story gets really weird.Around 1534, the Native tribes of south-central Texas told the four ragged survivors about Mala Cosa - “The Bad Thing.” A small, bearded figure with unnatural power who performed grotesque surgery on living people, ripped out their entrails, healed the wounds instantly, lifted entire lodges into the air, shapeshifted genders, and claimed to live “down below.”Is it the Devil? A cryptid? A rogue shaman? Or something even older?We dive deep into the historical record from Cabeza de Vaca's own book La Relación, explore similar creatures across Texas, the Southwest, Mexico, and around the world, and leave you wondering what the hell was really walking those plains 500 years ago.

THREE TIMES FREE: FROM COMMUNIST CUBA TO SPIRITUAL FREEDOM - RAMON GARCIA'S INCREDIBLE TRUE STORYThree Times Free: Autobiographical Story by Ramon GarciaThe true story and odyssey of a man who wanted to attain his freedom at all costs. It takes him through a perilous voyage at sea, during which he would rather face the possibility of death than remain enslaved by a totalitarian regime.In the course of this book, his liberty will be challenged and will cost the teller of this passionate story, Ramon Garcia, to have to recuperate not only his independence but also something much more important, his spiritual freedom, conquered minute by minute behind the bars of several prisons.Garcia's testimony takes us through intense moments of struggles, missteps, and redemption in a volume full of experiences almost novelesque, but which are the detailed account of a significant revelation that we may share with the enjoyment of this reading."That is why I am three times free, but not as those with liberty as a pretext to do wrong, but as a servant of God."The book Three Times Free: Autobiographical Story is a powerful memoir chronicling my life journey—from my daring escape from communist Cuba in 1963 to building a new life in the United States, and ultimately finding profound spiritual freedom through faith in God. It details the hardships under Castro's regime, the courage required to flee oppression, the challenges of starting over as an immigrant, my success in the jewelry business, and how true liberation comes not just from physical freedom but from surrendering to God's grace. The title reflects three layers of freedom: escaping political tyranny, achieving personal and economic independence in America, and attaining spiritual redemption.This book is dedicated to my three children and seven grandchildren (two granddaughters and one grandson). My oldest daughter is 54, my other daughter is 49, and my youngest son is 46. They were born in the United States and have never known the horrors of communism—the constant hunger, rationing, fear of imprisonment for dissent, or the total loss of personal liberty that I endured. In Cuba under that system, food was scarce, opportunities were crushed, and the government controlled every aspect of life; disobedience often meant jail or worse. My children and grandchildren have been blessed with freedom, abundance, and opportunity here in America—things I fought desperately to reach. Through this book, I want them to understand the true cost of the freedom they enjoy every day, so they never take it for granted. Thank God for the United States, the land that gave me a second chance.Yes, this is my first published work. At 82 years old (born in February 1944 in Barros Oriente, Cuba), I've finally put my story on paper after a lifetime of living it.It took several years to complete the book, as I wanted to ensure every detail was accurate and meaningful. Writing it involved reflecting deeply on painful memories, family stories, and spiritual insights, but the process was rewarding and healing.THREE TIMES FREEhttps://tharsisfilms.comhttps://www.kingpagespress.com/http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/31926kpp2.mp3

Born in a refugee camp in Angola after his family fled war in DR Congo, young Eduardo's life started with challenges most children could never imagine. But through courage, family strength and a love for the game, his dream began to grow — from the streets of Fougères in France to the world stage of the UEFA Champions League. We explore how Camavinga switched from judo to football, the coaches who spotted his talent, and the moment he burst onto the scene with Stade Rennais at just 16. You'll hear how he became one of France's youngest internationals ever, signed for Real Madrid, and helped the club lift Europe's biggest trophy. Packed with shoutouts, big moments, resilience and life lessons, this episode shows kids and families that where you start does not decide where you finish.

In the early hours of March 24, 1976, the streets of Buenos Aires rumble with tanks as soldiers seize the presidential palace and topple Argentina's leader. The country is now under the control of a military junta, with army chief Jorge Rafael Videla at the helm. With quiet support from the United States and tacit approval from much of Argentina's people, who are tired of constant bombings and gunfights, the junta swiftly launches the National Reorganization Process or El Proceso—a bland name masking their ruthless campaign to crush the political left and instill the country with “Western, Christian” values. The junta holds power until 1983 and decimates a generation. One of the military's most diabolical acts is kidnapping hundreds of pregnant women. After giving birth in captivity, the women are “disappeared,” and their babies secretly given to other families—many of them headed by police or military officers. For mothers of pregnant daughters and daughters-in-law, the source of their grief is twofold—the disappearances of their children, and the theft of their grandchildren. A group of fierce grandmothers forms the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo, dedicated to finding the stolen infants and seeking justice from a nation that betrayed them. At a time when speaking out could mean death, the Abuelas confront military officers and launch protests to reach international diplomats and journalists. They become detectives, adopting disguises to observe suspected grandchildren, and even work alongside a renowned American scientist to pioneer groundbreaking genetic tests. A Flower Traveled in My Blood: The Incredible True Story of the Grandmothers Who Fought to Find a Stolen Generation of Children (Simon & Schuster, 2025) by Haley Cohen Gilliland is the rarest of nonfiction that reads like a novel and puts your heart in your throat. It is the product of years of extensive archival research and meticulous, original reporting. It marks the arrival of a blazing new talent in narrative journalism. In these pages, a regime tries to terrorize a country, but love prevails. The grandmothers' stunning stories reveal new truths about memory, identity, and family. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Haley Cohen Gilliland, author of "A Flower Traveled in My Blood, the Incredible True Story of the Grandmothers in Argentina who Fought to Find a Stolen Generation of Children"

Ryan speaks with documentary filmmaker, Jonathan Berman, about his film, Calling All Earthlings, based on the life and work of George Van Tassel. In 1947, George Van Tassel, a Howard Hughes employee and confidante, suddenly quits working for his mentor and ditches the straight life, moving deep into the Mojave Desert where he and his family sleep under a rock. He leaves behind a tattered Los Angeles in the grips of postwar paranoia, opting for the quietude of the Joshua Tree area. It is during an August 1953 full moon that Van Tassel has an encounter with extraterrestrials, who give him the information to build a rejuvenation machine he dubs “The Integratron.” Is Van Tassel crazy or could the Integratron really work? FBI agents try to halt the army of eccentrics who gather in the desert to create a collective, possibly threatening reality on the edge of the American Dream. A gentle inquiry into alternative culture, the story is told by the current residents of the Joshua Tree area, who must defend against rampant militarism and commercialization, all while still waiting for their spaceship.Watch Calling All Earthlings: https://tubitv.com/movies/514481/calling-all-earthlingsPlease take a moment to rate and review us on Spotify and Apple.Book Ryan on CAMEO at: https://bit.ly/3kwz3DOPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/somewhereskiesByMeACoffee: http://www.buymeacoffee.com/UFxzyzHOaQPayPal: Sprague51@hotmail.comDiscord: https://discord.gg/NTkmuwyB4FBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ryansprague.bsky.socialTwitter: https://twitter.com/SomewhereSkiesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/somewhereskiespod/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ryansprague51Order Ryan's new book: https://a.co/d/4KNQnM4Order Ryan's older book: https://amzn.to/3PmydYCStore: http://tee.pub/lic/ULZAy7IY12URead Ryan's articles at: https://medium.com/@ryan-sprague51Opening Theme Song by SeptembryoCopyright © 2025 Ryan Sprague.

On July 4th, 2026, in fact, all that year, America's Liberty Bell and all its brothers and sisters in every state will be ringing out loud and clear to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.  There are many stories surrounding the original Liberty Bell, its crack, and its many renditions both here and abroad, as well as how it is perceived with love and respect by most Americans. It was first given the name 'The Liberty Bell" by the abolishionist movement as they fought for their freedom, and the women's Liberty Bell, which they called the Justuce Bell, was there when they cheered the passage of the 19th amendment giving them the vote. It was there behind the head of Abraham Lincoln as he lay in an open casket on his final trip home.  The story of the Liberty Bell is OUR story, and a big part of what makes America special.  Check out our two new 1001 podcasts (1001True Crime From Another Time and 1001 Stories From The Gilded Age) wherever you listen topodcasts as well as at our new website www.bestof1001stories.com.

The Battle of Sekigahara, on 21st October, 1600, was the largest in Japanese feudal history, with over 160,000 troops involved. And stakes were high: the victor, Tokugawa Ieyasu, became the Shōgun of Japan, initiating the Edo period; whilst the leader of the losing Western army, Ishida Mitsunari, was beheaded. The battle itself was chaotic, partly due to defections, with several commanders secretly switching sides, leading to confusion and collapse. But, despite the battle's inclusion of modern firearms introduced by the Portuguese, the aftermath saw a return to the cult of the sword!  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca, and Olly discover how the morning fog caused a clumsy start to the fighting; explain how Toyotomi Hideyoshi's succession struggles lead to a powerful power vacuum; and reveal how Ieyasu matched his superiority in battle with some seriously savvy backstairs politicking… Further Reading: • 'Shōgun: The Incredible True Story of the Battle of Sekigahara' (Esquire, 2024): https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv/a60382366/shogun-battle-of-sekigahara-true-story/ • ‘Battle of Sekigahara - Gettysburg National Military Park' (U.S. National Park Service, 2022): https://www.nps.gov/gett/learn/historyculture/battle-of-sekigahara.htm • ‘Masterpiece: Lord Toranaga Fights And Wins The Battle Of Sekigahara Against Ishido And Becomes Shogun' (NBC, 1980): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGYI6NVtzAg Love the show?

Millions of people enjoy visiting Madame Tussauds Wax Museums each year, but only a very few know the macabre history behind the first one that opened in London in 1831, containing the death masks and wax figures of actual victims of the French Revolution on 1789-1793- which were made by a 20 year old young lady named Anna Marie Grosholtz who had trained to be an artist and sculptor of wax and worked in the employ of her uncle at his shop in Paris.  Through that work she became close with the sister of the King, and when the revolution broke out she was sent to prison- soon to be released with the agreement that she would provide death masks and lifelike wax figures of the often royal victims of the guillotine including Marie Antionette, Robespeirre, and many others. She later parlayed her horrific experience into a business which has lasted to this day.

This week I'm reading from Lily Nova's book 'Contact: An Incredible True Story of Contact with Beings From Another World and Spiritual Awakening'.While spending countless nights photographing the night sky, the totally unexpectedoccurred. Lily began being visited by beings from another world. Not only did she witness these crafts, but they let her film and photograph them. Lily's footage would later be featured in mainstream news articles around the world and on The Travel Channel.What started off as documenting proof of these alien visitors soon turned into a developing relationship and full blown communication. They taught Lily mysteries of the universe, how to initiate contact with them, who they are and why they are here, plus revealed secrets of our origins. They also took her down a profound spiritual journey that would forever change her life.Contact follows Lily's incredible contact experiences, the teachings they gave her, and her journey of awakening. If you are drawn to this book, there is a reason for it. You may be a seeker of truth, wish to have meaningful contact, or you've had your own experiences you wish to more fully understand. It is time for the truth to be revealed. It is time for us to remember who we are and our place in the cosmos. The truth of the matter is, we are not alone. We never have been, and we never will be.BioLily Nova is a UFO and space photographer, contactee, cosmic channel, spiritual guide, author, and speaker. Lily's story and UFO footage have been featured on The Travel Channel and mainstream media all over the world, including LAD Bible and The Mirror. Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Lily graduated with her Dietetics degree and worked as a nutritionist teaching classes before her life would take a dramatic turn. In 2020, she developed a passion for space photography and began spending countless nights out under the stars. At this time, Lily began having very close encounters with UFOs. She immediately began documenting these strange and exciting encounters with her camera, becoming an investigator overnight determined to discover the truth. A blossoming relationship and communication then ensued. Her cosmic visitors taught her mysteries of the universe, humanity's connection to the stars, and to her surprise, many spiritual principles that guided her on a profound spiritual awakening. Lily has dedicated her life to sharing her story and footage, as well as the messages and lessons her cosmic family has shared with her in order to help others on their awakening journey. She regularly shares messages and channeled meditations on her YouTube channel, and hosts workshops and events which can be found on her website. Amazon link https://tinyurl.com/27uc52uphttps://www.youtube.com/@LilyNovaStarseedhttps://www.lilynovacontact.com/https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/alien-ufo-podcast--5270801/support.

The Incredible True Story of the Most Hunted Man in Pacific Coast History––and the Woman He LovedBefore the 1920s found their roar, a charismatic gambling addict named Roy Gardner dominated news headlines with daring train robberies and escapes from incarceration. Nicknamed "the Smiling Bandit," Gardner spilled no blood––except his own––as he cut a felonious path across the western United States, as the country hobbled through a recession in the aftermath of the First World War.Once imprisoned for the long term in federal prisons, including Alcatraz, the most notorious prison's second-most-notorious inmate won over some unlikely champions. Both Gardner's wife, Dollie, and a police officer who once arrested him launched extensive campaigns for Gardner's release on the vaudeville circuit, claiming a brain operation would cure his lawless ways. Was Gardner a good man who made bad decisions as the victim of injury and circumstance? Or was his charming personality merely the poker face of a scoundrel?Richly researched, drawing on contemporary newspaper accounts, Alcatraz Ghost Story explores the life of Roy Gardner in the context of his great love story and the larger backdrop of drug addiction, incarceration, and the racial and labor violence of the 1920s and 1930s.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.
