I'm your China travel guide in exile, Missionary Ben, recording today in downtown Dhaka, the overcrowded capital of Bangladesh.

Check out PrayGiveGo.us for everything else, incl. Patreon, Substack & books… The Memoirs of William Milne (PrayGiveGo.us) The Autobiography of John G. Paton (JohnGPaton.com) Borden of Yale: The Millionaire Missionary (BordenofYale.com) Unbeaten: Arrested, Interrogated, and Deported from China (Unbeaten.vip) Why the Prison Pulpit? The goal is to remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in prison, as bound with them.” We’ve looked at Wang Yi and Early Rain Church’s writings in the aftermath of their arrest and attack in 2018, but I’ve also regularly turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice literally from prison. Thoughts on Bangladesh and How to Pray… When I first started learning about Bangladesh in 2002, there were only about 130+ million people. Today that number is closer to 180! Let me help you with an example of just how crowded it is… similar in size to Georgia, Iowa, and Alabama, but with 15 or 25x more people!s **Bangladesh is the most densely populated sovereign nation larger than 1,000 square miles** - It has a population density of roughly 3,538 per sq. mile (1400/km)! - Virtually all higher-density entries are tiny city-states, territories, or micro-nations far below 1,000 square miles, including: Macau (~33 km², ~22,000/km²), Monaco (~2 km², ~19,000/km²), Singapore (~710 km², ~8,225/km²), and Hong Kong (~1,100 km², ~7,000/km²). - Among sovereign countries (or comparable large entities) exceeding the size threshold, no other nation surpasses Bangladesh. Next in line for larger countries include places like Taiwan (~636/km²), the Netherlands (~548/km²), and South Korea (~529/km²). Islam growing faster than anything else Christians converted from Islam are growing, but still a tiny minority (200k) Pray for more laborers, open doors, boldness, and protection from the evil one As always, put yourself “in their shoes” as you pray… How to Give?

I would love to hear from you! Send me a one way text and share how Recover Your Soul is supporting you or what you would like to hear more about.Something really big is happening.After more than a year of dedication, vulnerability, late nights, self-doubt, and some of the most profound healing I have ever done, my memoir is almost here. Recover Your Soul: A Spiritual Journey of Healing from Addiction, Codependency, and People Pleasing releases on April 13th, 2026. And this weekend, I held the paperback copy in my hands for the first time and I was elated and excited to have it come to life and share with the world.I cried. Of course I cried.And then I started reading it that night and every limiting belief, every fear, every old story about not being enough, not being worthy, not deserving to be seen, came rushing right back up to meet me. Which, honestly, felt like the most perfect reminder that this work never really ends. It just gets deeper. And more beautiful.In this episode I'm pulling back the curtain on the journey behind this book — what it took to write it, what it brought up in me, and why I made the choices I made about how to tell this story. Because this memoir is not a tell-all. It is not a detailed account of every painful moment. It is something I believe is far more important than that.It is an invitation. To you.

Wildfires are no longer rare disasters in the American West—they are a defining feature of the landscape. But very few people have seen them up close.In this episode, Jason Herbert speaks with Kelly Ramsey, author of Wildfire Days: A Woman, a Hotshot Crew, and the Burning American West. Ramsey spent multiple seasons on an elite wildland firefighting crew—known as hotshots—the teams sent to the most dangerous parts of massive fires.Ramsey was also the only woman on her crew, navigating a demanding and deeply male-dominated culture while battling some of the largest fires in recent Western history.Together we explore:What it actually feels like to stand on the firelineThe intense culture and camaraderie of hotshot crewsThe growing reality of megafires in the American WestGender, belonging, and earning trust in one of the toughest jobs in AmericaWhat these fires reveal about the future of the Western landscapePart adventure story, part personal reckoning, Wildfire Days offers a powerful look at life inside the fires that are reshaping the American West.

Commentators are warning that Sarah Ferguson could pose a new risk to the British royal family if the former Duchess of York decides to publish another memoir.Writing in The Royalist, Tom Sykes argues that financial pressure and public scrutiny could tempt Ferguson to produce a revealing book about her decades inside royal circles. Her 1996 memoir My Story caused major tension within the family and reportedly damaged her friendship with Diana, Princess of Wales.Experts say Ferguson's long proximity to the royal household means she holds extensive knowledge about private events and relationships within the monarchy. One royal commentator warned that the family understands she “knows where the bodies are buried.”With Prince Harry's memoir Spare reportedly earning about $20 million, publishing insiders believe a similar tell-all from Ferguson could attract enormous interest — and potentially create another major challenge for the monarchy.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

"A book is not a long magazine article, and it took me a long, long time to understand that, to even understand what it means. It's something that you can say, but you have to live it to understand it," says Tom Junod, author of the memoir In the Days of My Youth I Was Told What It Means to be a Man.Wow, look who visited the digital CNF Pod HQ: It's Tom Junod.Listen, I don't have all day to sing the praises and list the back-of-the-baseball-card details of Tom's illustrious career writing for GQ, Esquire, and ESPN. He's a two-time winner of the National Magazine Award. His piece in Esquire titled The Falling Man is a re-read for many of us around 9/11 and it takes a meditative and reportorial look at the man who had not chosen his fate, but appeared to embrace it. Tom wrote the iconic profile of Fred Rodgers that was turned a movie starring Tom Hanks. In many ways, so much of Tom's work is writing about father figures, which of course brings us to the ultimate: In The Days of My Youth I Was Told What It Means to be a Man, a memoir about his father. It's published by Double Day.Tom can be found on Instagram @tom_junod and on the Facebooks and stuff.

Virginia Roberts Giuffre's unpublished memoir The Billionaire's Playboy Club recounts her recruitment into Jeffrey Epstein's world as a 16-year-old working at Mar-a-Lago, where she says Ghislaine Maxwell lured her in with promises of opportunity and travel. The manuscript describes how she became trapped in Epstein's orbit, allegedly forced into sexual encounters with powerful men, including Prince Andrew, and ferried across his properties in New York, Florida, and the Virgin Islands. Giuffre paints a detailed picture of coercion, psychological manipulation, and the disturbing normalization of exploitation within Epstein's high-society circle.In this episode, we begin our journey through that memoir.   to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Virgina Giuffre Billionaire's Playboy Club | DocumentCloud

Welcome to the Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher Podcast, hosted by Maurice Harker—a faith-based resource for those striving to strengthen marriages and develop greater self-mastery through gospel-centered principles.Important note: This podcast and its programs are not officially affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They are created by those who strive to live its teachings and apply them to real-life challenges.In this episode, we explore how discouragement, shame, and rumination can slow spiritual progress more than the actual mistake. A powerful conversion story highlights the peace found in Jesus Christ: there is a way through—not out. We discuss the Savior's Atonement as real healing—not just forgiveness—and how Christ can “fill the hole” left behind by past sin and pain.You'll hear practical gospel-centered insights on:The difference between repentance and the torment of “you messed up” loopsHow to identify unedifying thoughts (Moroni 7) and recognize when destructive self-talk isn't “you”Why some feel guilt as if the mistake happened again—even when it didn'tTrusting Christ for new beginnings and leaving the past in the past (2 Corinthians 5:17)Staying connected to Jesus Christ—not spouses, dating outcomes, leaders, or approval—for hope and stabilityThe “Christ Cycle”: stepping into life, getting hit by chaos, then retreating to regroup with God before re-engagingWhy lasting change usually comes through small daily efforts over time, not one dramatic momentIf you're battling shame, fear of failure, or feeling spiritually “whiplashed” by life—this episode will help you reconnect to the Savior's open arms and practice the power of begin again.For deeper training, visit www.lazaruslectures.com.

There is obviously much we do know to pray for, but I want to remind you that there is also so much we DO NOT KNOW. For instance, Iran’s regime-induced internet blackout keeps us from hearing much at all from the majority of Iranians who are cheering on the potential fall of the Islamic regime. Let’s not forget them. My guess is if communication were functioning normally, we’d be inundated with positive messages from within Iran. One report I saw estimated that in Iran it's more like 95% against the Ayatollahs and 5% for. But we really just don’t know. Finally, we come to our topic of the day, Chinese Christians in Exile and Serving Abroad… I have to be careful here.

In 1993, three eight-year old boys, Stevie Branch, Michael Moore, and Chris Byers, were murdered; their naked, mutilated bodies found shoved into the mud at the bottom of a ditch. The information developed by investigators pointed to three teenagers as the murderers. The three teens were convicted after two separate trials. One was sentenced to life imprisonment, one was sentenced to life plus forty years, and the third was sentenced to death. The convictions of the three teens became one of the most controversial cases in the State of Arkansas. During the early years of their incarceration, the growth of the Internet connected people all over the world through discussion forums and websites. As a result, the three teens, who became known as the “West Memphis Three,” developed a cult following that included the support of high-profile celebrities, including Johnny Depp, Peter Jackson, and Eddie Vedder and others, who all bought into the myth that the three convicted murderers were innocent.Today, the three convicted murderers are free. They appear to have given up their quest for judicial exoneration. Once they exhausted all other potential “guilty” parties, (some joined their camp and others were obviously not guilty), they focused their attention on Terry Hobbs, step-father of Stevie Branch, in an effort to divert attention from the evidence proving their guilt. Terry Hobbs was never a suspect in the murders and the facts of the case do not support his guilt. Undeterred, the convicted killers and their supporters continue to point fingers at Terry Hobbs.This is Terry Hobbs' story.https://amzn.to/4ui86q1Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

  Diagnosed at 34 as a highly active police officer with above-average vision and hand-eye coordination, Jason's condition was especially rare as it typically affects the elderly, organ transplant recipients, or those with AIDS/HIV. Cancer spread to the optic nerve destroyed one eye, which was removed via evisceration last year; a hand-painted prosthetic now tracks the remaining eye, and Jason reports being completely pain-free post-removal. Whole-brain radiation was firmly refused due to the risk of permanent cognitive and personality changes; targeted eye radiation (17 of 24 planned treatments) achieved remission instead. Fifth relapse in 2018 involved six brain lesions including one on the brain stem, a grand mal seizure lasting over five hours, and an inability to walk — Jason drove himself to the hospital and fell in the parking lot before receiving care. Radical lifestyle change followed the fifth relapse: eliminated alcohol, switched to organic produce, wild-harvested venison, exercise, yoga, meditation, and brain-training exercises. Cannabis oil use — oral, suppository, and vaping — is credited with reducing tumor spots on the left tricep within two months (spots were gone before conventional treatment began) and with providing neuroprotection against treatment-related brain damage. Doctors and medical staff were consistently unwilling to discuss cannabis on record, citing protocol restrictions and job security concerns, despite acknowledging Jason's survival as medically baffling. Autologous stem cell transplant at Memorial Sloan Kettering New York was selected as the treatment for the fifth relapse; the procedure involves harvesting stem cells via centrifuge, freezing them, then reinfusing after eight days of high-dose chemotherapy. Jason's stem cell "rebirth day" coincided with his actual birthday (April 24th), Easter, and spring — an alignment no medical facility he asked had ever encountered before. Brain cancer's invisible long-term deficits — poor memory, balance issues, loss of depth perception, declining night vision, and seizure-related damage — are widely misunderstood; people assume remission means full recovery. Cannabis is considered neuroprotective by Jason; a single hit of a joint provided significant pain relief after eye removal when prescribed medications failed entirely. Growing up near a toxic landfill is identified as a likely environmental cause of the cancer cluster in his community, including his own brain cancer, his mother's fatal colon cancer at 56, and two miscarriages. Key advice for cancer patients: eliminate sugar and alcohol, prioritize high-quality food, maintain a positive mindset, cut out negative media, and seek community support — diet and mental state are the first areas Jason addresses when contacted by newly diagnosed individuals. Jason is developing a public speaking career and has two books in progress: Memoirs of Murray Road and Fifth Time's the Charm: The Remarkable Story of a Five-Time Terminal Brain Cancer Survivor.

Paton (JohnGPaton.com) Borden of Yale: The Millionaire Missionary (BordenofYale.com) Unbeaten: Arrested, Interrogated & Deported from China (Unbeaten.vip) Why the Prison Pulpit? To remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in prison, as bound with them.” We’ve looked at Wang Yi and Early Rain Church’s writings in the aftermath of their arest in 2018, but I’ve also regularly turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice literally from prison. Let me recommend a little book (Return of the Raider/The Amazing Story of Sergeant Jacob Deshazer), that I was tempted to cover in a full Prison Pulpit episode: https://jacobdeshazer.com/return-of-the-raider The Middle East continues to be in the spotlight this week. There is obviously much we do know to pray for, but I want to remind you that there is also so much we DO NOT KNOW. For instance, Iran’s regime-induced internet blackout keeps us from hearing much at all from the majority of Iranians who are cheering on the potential fall of the Islamic regime. Let’s not forget them. My guess is if communication were functioning normally, we’d be inundated with positive messages from within Iran. One report I saw estimated that in Iran it's more like 95% against the Ayatollahs and 5% for. But we really just don’t know. Finally, we come to our topic of the day, Chinese Christians in Exile and Serving Abroad… I have to be careful here. I simply cannot give up too much info about the folks I’m going to mention, so bear with me as I search for the right words… - Chinese missionaries are being sent to most of western China, almost all of Asia (sans India), and much of the Middle East, and they “fit in” much better than Westerners in many of these places - They are being trained in much the same way Western missionaries are trained to work cross-culturally, not in a matter of days, but years, in strategic places both inside and outside of China - Some of them struggle to leave China (passports confiscated), but others cannot return, as they will be arrested upon arrival with their passports confiscated for the foreseeable future - We have a major project later this year to help the missionary arm of the Chinese Underground Church Strategic Opportunity to Give: MCI3.org ($50,000 need!)

Today I'm doing something different and reading from a series of family history letters my grandparents wrote in the mid 1990s after I asked what life was like growing up in the 1920s to 1940s and how the world changed. In Installment One, my grandfather recalls early cars, operator run telephones, and gathering around the radio, along with big family Sundays and how WWII forced young men and women to grow up fast. Installment Two shifts to romance as my grandmother tells how she met my grandfather at a Toronto house dance on the eve of her 16th birthday, then they describe how each joined the services during the war. I also read part of Installment Three with vivid childhood summers at a Lake Simcoe cottage, lake adventures, farm work, and roaming freedom.

As California's governor – and a topic of discussion among some as a possible 2028 presidential candidate – Gavin Newsom is an exceedingly public figure with a busy schedule to match. His new memoir, Young Man in a Hurry, provides a glimpse into Newsom's rise to political prominence and his ongoing goal of self-discovery. In today's episode, Newsom sits down with NPR's Ailsa Chang to discuss his book, the question of his own relatability, and why he uses “playground insults”' on social media to push back against the Trump administration.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayTo manage podcast ad preferences, review the links below:See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Welcome to the Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher Podcast, hosted by Maurice Harker—a faith-based resource for those striving to strengthen their marriages and develop greater self-mastery through gospel-centered principles.Important note: This podcast and its programs are not officially affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They are created by those who strive to live its teachings and apply them to real-life challenges.In this episode, Maurice explores the gospel psychology of new beginnings—and why many people get stuck believing their story is “finished,” their identity work is “done,” or their mistakes define their future.This conversation covers powerful, practical principles for personal healing, recovery, and family hope, including:Why your identity statement should be a ritual (review + revise), not a one-time projectRepentance as re-harmonizing with God (not “getting caught” or “being in trouble”)The “discover → plan → act → reflect” cycle as a divine training system for growthHow discouragement and shame can slow progress more than the actual mistakeRecognizing satanic self-talk and replacing it with edifying truth (Moroni 7)Finding hope when family members are off the covenant path—and trusting God's long timelineWhy healing is built through small daily steps, not one dramatic “light switch” momentChrist as the steady foundation when marriage, parenting, and life feel chaoticIf you feel stuck in guilt, fear, or discouragement—or you're carrying pain about your marriage or your children—this episode will help you reconnect to Christ's promise: you can begin again.For deeper training, visit www.lazaruslectures.com.

Some people lose their footing early. For Jacque Gorelick, that unmooring came at eight years old, the morning her mother died. What followed was a childhood she describes as a snow globe someone had shaken and never set down — chaotic, rootless, and full of grief she didn't yet have words for. But grief has a way of waiting for us. And Jacque's memoir, Map of a Heart: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Finding the Way Home (Vine Leaves Press, February 17), is the story of what happens when the past finally catches up — not to destroy us, but to ask us, at long last, to stop running.That reckoning arrived on an ordinary jogging trail. Jacque's husband's heart stopped mid-run while she walked nearby with their nine-week-old baby. In an instant, the fragile, beautiful life she'd worked so hard to build — the partner, the child, the sense of normalcy she'd spent decades chasing — was suspended somewhere between a hospital hallway and a prayer she didn't know she still knew how to say. What emerged in those hours of waiting wasn't just fear; it was a woman who finally let other people hold her. Friends showed up. Community formed. And Jacque — who, like so many children of disruption, had long ago decided that needing no one was the safest way to survive — began to understand that belonging is not something you're born into. It's something you build, one brave, tender act of trust at a time.In this conversation with Olivia, Jacque opens up about writing through trauma in stolen moments while her children were young, the music that carried her back into the hardest chapters, and the unexpected gift of sitting with her memories long enough to realize: they were real. She was there. And somehow, against every odd, she made it through. Map of a Heart is a book for anyone who grew up feeling like they didn't quite belong to a family, a place, or a story — and who's still quietly hoping to find one. It's for the person at the dinner table who doesn't know how to answer "what do you do for Thanksgiving?" without feeling a flash of shame. And it's proof that a life's map doesn't have to begin where your childhood ended.

There is a specific kind of ache that comes from looking at your daughter and seeing yourself — not the version of yourself you've carefully curated, but the girl you tried to leave behind. That's where Melissa Fraterrigo's memoir begins: standing in a doorway, watching her twin daughters navigate the turbulent terrain of adolescence, and recognizing in their self-doubt, their body shame, their quiet suffering, the exact contours of her own girlhood in the 80s and 90s. The recognition didn't just move her. It sent her back — back through memory, back through culture, back through every lesson she'd absorbed and every wound she'd never quite named — to write The Perils of Girlhood, a memoir in essays that is at once an excavation of the past and a love letter to the next generation.What makes this book extraordinary is how deliberately Melissa chose the essay form — not to present a tidy narrative arc, but to honor the messy, nonlinear way that girlhood actually lives inside us. She wrote it the way memory works: pulled toward heat, toward the unresolved, toward the scenes that still ask something of us. She started in the middle — an essay about her father's temper and the people-pleasing survival strategy it produced — and spent five years finding where all the pieces truly belonged. Along the way, she wove in pop culture touchstones from Judy Blume to 80s sitcom dads, not as nostalgia but as evidence: this is what the air was made of back then, and we breathed it in, and here is what it cost us. She wrote herself into forgiveness — for her younger self, for the people who didn't always get it right — and found that the longer she sat with each chapter, the softer and more spacious her understanding became.In this warm, wide-ranging conversation with Olivia, Melissa reflects on what it means to trade the safety of fiction for the vulnerability of memoir, why this book belongs to readers of every gender and generation, and why one of her twin daughters has already read it — while the other has politely declined, which Melissa accepts with the grace of a woman who has learned that healing doesn't happen on a schedule. The Perils of Girlhood is ultimately a book about the stories we tell ourselves about who we are, how those stories get written for us long before we're old enough to hold the pen, and what becomes possible when we finally decide to rewrite them. If you're in any season of self-examination — a parent trying to break a cycle, a daughter still untangling her past, or simply a person curious enough to ask how you became who you are — this book is waiting for you.

When a devoted wife and mother found herself trapped in a cycle of infidelity, violence, and fear shot at in broad daylight, run over by her own car, grieving her father's sudden death she turned to the only constant she had left: God. Author and survivor Denise Devroe joins Robert Plank to share the story behind her powerful memoir, God Made Me and You Couldn't Break Me, a raw, faith‑filled account of finding peace and strength after years of abuse and heartbreak. In this conversation, Denise opens up about living with a gambling, cheating husband, enduring physical and emotional trauma, and the moment she realized that praying wasn't just for crises it had to become her way of life. She explains how daily prayer, morning and night, carried her through divorce, danger, and financial struggle, and how God's protection over her and her children revealed there really is light after the darkest seasons. https://youtu.be/hlpUnhZ7v9g Instead of glossing over the pain or pretending faith makes life easy, Denise speaks honestly about fear, confusion, and the long, messy process of leaving a toxic relationship. She shares how God answered prayers in His timing, not hers, how her children broke the cycle instead of repeating it, and why she believes you should never ignore the early red flags in a relationship. Denise also talks about the emotional challenge of reliving her story through a ghostwriter, the meaning behind her book's title and tear‑and‑ripple cover, and her desire for readers especially those in abusive or unstable situations to know that God can still write a new chapter for their lives. Whether you're in the middle of a storm, trying to rebuild after one, or simply needing a reminder that you're not alone, this memoir and conversation offer a simple message: there is hope, there is healing, and God's plan is bigger than what tried to break you Quotes: “You can break my heart, my body, my plans but you cannot break what God Himself has built inside of me.” “Don't wait for the crisis to pray. Stay prayed up in the sunshine so you're not alone in the storm.” “There is life after lies, after bruises, after betrayal there is light after the darkness, and God will walk you all the way there.” Resources: Denise Devroe God Made Me, and You Couldn't Break Me on Amazon
