Scattered Steel: The Afterlife of the World Trade Center (Cornell UP, 2026) traces the extraordinary journey of the twisted remnants of the World Trade Center. When the Towers fell on September 11, 2001, nearly all that remained was pulverized concrete and contorted steel. Dr. Samuel and Dr. Max Holleran investigate how fragments of these skyscrapers became modern relics, scattered across all fifty states and beyond, built into hundreds of local memorials in firehouses, parks, and plazas, providing new and creative ways to grieve and remember. Drawing on years of research and interviews with artists, city officials, and first responders, the authors reveal a semi-improvised process that transformed industrial debris into sacred objects. They explore the aesthetics of rust and ruin, the rituals of transport and dedication, and the cultural tensions between grief, patriotism, and public art. From a quiet town square in Wyoming to a monumental glass "book" in Padua, Italy, these memorials tell a story not only of loss but of how communities far from Ground Zero took a piece of the tragedy—and made it their own. At once deeply human and sharply analytical, Scattered Steel asks urgent questions: What does it mean to sanctify matter? How do memorials shape collective memory in an age of global, and highly visual, trauma? And what happens when the symbols of tragedy become part of everyday landscapes? 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.

What if feeling scattered isn't a sign that you're failing, but a signal that too many things are competing for your attention? In Episode 273 of Just Start: Get Visible, Jacqueline M. Baker continues the conversation inspired by Episode 271 with Torie McDonald by exploring something many ambitious people experience: mental overload. When you're curious, capable, and interested in many things, it can be easy to believe you should be able to manage everything at once. But being capable of doing something doesn't automatically make it a priority. In this episode, Jacqueline explores three important shifts: Recognizing when your life and mind are simply too full and understanding that capacity has limits. Managing your attention instead of trying to manage everything by deciding what genuinely deserves your focus right now. Giving yourself permission to simplify by delaying, delegating, declining, or removing things that aren't priorities in your current season. Feeling scattered doesn't automatically mean you're undisciplined or incapable. Sometimes it's simply an invitation to get clearer about what matters most and create space for it. Memorable Takeaway "You don't need to do everything. You need to know what deserves your attention right now." Reflection Question What deserves your attention right now, and what are you giving attention to that no longer deserves it?

You are not falling apart. You are just in the messy middle. In this episode of The Balance Theory, Erika sits down with her best friend Naila, content creator and host of the Untempered podcast, for one of the most honest and unfiltered conversations the show has ever had. This is not an expert interview. It is two women sitting in the messy middle together, naming something the self-development world rarely admits -- that sometimes you feel mentally scattered, lost and disconnected from yourself, and that is not a failure. It is a season. If you have ever caught yourself thinking: "I feel so mentally scattered and I don't know why" "I keep scrolling to switch off but I end up feeling worse" "I have been so busy but I don't feel like I am actually living my life" "I don't feel grounded enough to even think about what I want next" "I know something is off but I cannot put my finger on what it is" Then this episode is for you. In this conversation, Erika and Naila cover: - Why scrolling to switch off is making your mental scatter worse, not better - The difference between being busy and running away from yourself - How social media conditions you into losing your identity without realising it - Why feeling mentally scattered is not a problem to fix but a signal to listen to - How to reconnect with yourself when you have no mental space left - The difference between self-awareness and actually changing your behaviour - What it means to stop producing your life and start living it - How to create space in your day when everything feels full and overwhelming - Why there is no deadline for getting to know yourself or building your life - The voice note exercise that shifts how you talk to yourself when you are struggling You do not have to have it all figured out to start coming back to yourself. But you can start exactly where you are. SPONSORS:

Send us Fan MailWe invest heavily in training salespeople to serve customers. So why aren't we investing just as intentionally in preparing leaders to serve our people? Abby Cornelius - Leadership Advisor at Elevate Actually and a 20+ year homebuilding veteran - joins Anya Chrisanthon for a conversation about the leadership training gap in homebuilding and what to do about it. And this one is personal: Abby was Anya's sales trainer at NVR, where Anya was named Rookie of the Year for her cohort.From intern to executive Abby got into homebuilding as a fluke - a finance major whose cousin talked her into an internship. She never left. Sales, national sales training, sales leadership, nine months in land acquisition, division president training, and Director of Sales. Her takeaway from sitting in every seat: when you understand how the whole operation works together, you show up better in the seat you're in.The training stopped As a salesperson, Abby went through a rigorous year-long program with ongoing coaching. Then she got promoted to leadership and it was: here's your team, go figure it out. Sitting in ops meetings Googling terms under the table, no tenured leader to lean on, and a generic two-day management course that didn't connect to homebuilding. It felt hard for about a year - and it's the same story she kept hearing from every leader around her.Breaking out of firefighting mode Only three things should derail your day: sales, starts, and closings - today, not future ones. Everything else needs a cadence. Abby shares the systems that saved her: scheduled one-on-ones that teach your team to save non-urgent items, and building processes around repeat pain points - like her offer sheet that ended the scrambled texts and half-baked emails. Building self-reliant teams You teach people how to treat you. If your team brings everything to you, you've become the bottleneck. Abby's tips: don't answer on the first ring for non-urgent items, ask "what have you tried?" before giving answers, and borrow her sister's kindergarten classroom rule - "three before me."Leadership is stewardship When a neighbor asked Abby's husband for parenting advice, he said: "It's only hard for the good ones." The same is true of leadership. If it feels heavy, that means you care. Your job isn't to keep things moving today - it's to care for your people and your business long-term.Leadership Elevated Everything Abby wished someone taught her sooner, built into homebuilding-specific leadership development: a two-day workshop for entire operational teams - sales, construction, purchasing, marketing, finance - plus a six-month virtual cohort limited to 10 leaders, launching in September. Because the ROI on well-equipped leaders shows up in margin, retention, and days under construction.One piece of advice for this week Pick one. One thing you want your team to get better at - and triple down on it. Scattered effort never gets the depth of solution you need.Connect with Abby on LinkedIn, subscribe to her free weekly LinkedIn newsletter Leadership Edited, and learn more about Leadership Elevated at elevateactually.com - click Work With Abby.About Anewgo Anewgo is an all-in-one new home sales and marketing platform.

We have a special return episode, by our good friend Rickard Hansson. Rickard joined us previously on the podcast in Season 8 to tell the creation story of Weavy - collaboration infrastructure for serious builds. Today, he makes a follow up visit to tell us all about Gainable, his new project - which removes data and engineering from being the middle man, and enables your team to build the apps they need now.Questions;Last time we talked in Season 8, you were building Weavy. Whats happened since we last talked with that company?Tell me about Gainable - give me the pitch there, and tell me why this is the right approach to using AI.Most AI builders wire straight to a frontier model and wait for the next release to fix the gaps. I didn't. Where does the model actually sit in Gainable product, and why only there?Why is an app factory that is deterministic important? Dig into that.You use the term "free-range coding".. what does this mean? Unpack the phrase for us.You point out that tokens still appear to be heavily subsidized to me. What do you mean by that, and what happens to all these AI products when that ends?We've all read the headlines - Fable 5 got switched off by the government for 18 days. Why do you see this as a turning point, not a footnote?You suspect flat subscriptions for the top models are done, and it all drifts to credit-based. What signal are you seeing that tell s you this?If the model is a commodity everyone rents, where's the moat?What is next for Gainable, and how can someone get started using the platform?SponsorsUnblockedTECH DomainsMezmoBraingrid.aiLinkshttps://www.gainable.dev/https://www.weavy.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/rickardh/https://codestory.co/podcast/bonus-rickard-hansson-weavy/Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

What Looks Like Misbehavior Might Be Something Else Entirely, with Lisa Shanken What if the behavior you're seeing isn't defiance, laziness, or a phase, but a sign of something happening underneath? I'm Dr. Shelly Mahon, your host. In this episode we sit down with Lisa Shanken, executive functioning coach and founder of Tri-Wellness, to unpack what's really going on for kids who struggle with focus, follow-through, emotional regulation, and independence, including neurodivergent kids and those navigating ADHD, autism, anxiety, and more. Lisa brings over two decades of experience as a health counselor, personal trainer, yoga instructor, and executive functioning coach, and she breaks down how working memory, impulse control, and cognitive flexibility show up in daily life. She also explains why the mind-body connection, emotional regulation, and firm-but-loving boundaries matter just as much as any system or chart. In This Episode, We Cover The three tenets of executive functioning: Working memory, impulse control, and cognitive flexibility How to tell the difference between a real deficit and “typical” kid behavior The connection between executive functioning and mental health: ADHD, autism, anxiety, and depression The impact of screens and phones on confidence, social skills, and concentration When to seek a neuropsych evaluation The role of emotional regulation in daily functioning, and why sitting with discomfort matters How to act from a loving place while still holding firm boundaries The mind-body connection: how food, sleep, movement, and socialization shape behavior Building independence in kids by giving them real responsibility A Line Worth Remembering “Giving a child responsibilities leads to independence. If you can follow through with the responsibilities I give you, then I trust you to make some of your own decisions. Start small and build on this.” Resources Mentioned & Related Reading Tri-Wellness: Lisa Shanken's practice Social Bloom & Love Bloom: Lisa's programs for building social confidence and relationships in neurodivergent-friendly environments Understood.org: Resources on ADHD, learning differences, and neurodiversity CHADD: Children and Adults with ADHD Child Mind Institute: Anxiety, emotional regulation, and guidance on neuropsych evaluations Smart but Scattered by Peg Dawson & Richard Guare: Executive functioning basics for parents The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline by Daniel Siegel & Tina Payne Bryson: emotional regulation and boundary-setting Common Sense Media: Screen time guidance by age

Scattered Minds - Book Summary by Mufti Yusuf Moosagie by Radio Islam
On today's episode, I'm chatting with cinematographer James Kniest about his work on the upcoming Amazon original film, The Devil's Mouth. The setup is classic survival horror: a group of college friends on a Thailand trip end up trapped in submerged caves. There's a dangerous predator in the water with them, and all their ugly personal baggage and past conflicts start bubbling up while they try not to die. What makes or breaks a movie like this usually comes down to how real that claustrophobia feels, so James and I talk about what it actually takes to shoot in dark, wet, cramped spaces without it looking like a soundstage.Before we get to that interview, I want to talk about a fantastic new track from the San Francisco punk band Tess & The Details. They just released a cover of Green Day's "Scattered," which is featured on a new Green Day tribute compilation out from Coffin Curse Records and Punk Rock Radar. Even better, all the proceeds from the compilation go straight to no-kill animal shelters.Rather than just doing a carbon copy of the original Nimrod track, they completely made it their own. Frontwoman Tess Stevens directed the music video as a bit of a love letter to the Bay Area, shooting at places like an old BART station payphone and the legendary San Francisco venue Bottom of the Hill, which is unfortunately closing down at the end of 2026. I'm going to play a quick snippet of the song right now, and then I'll play the full track at the very end of the episode after the interview.Ok lets get into my conversation with James. In addition to The Devil's Mouth, we chat about our shared love of music, the current state of the film industry, and what it was like working with Mike Flanagan. The Devil's Mouth will be available to stream on Amazon Prime on 7/29. I hope you enjoy the show

What if feeling scattered isn't a sign that you're failing, but a signal that your life needs better systems instead of more hustle?In this episode, Tiffany shares five practical tools she uses when life feels overwhelming, priorities are competing, and she is no longer confident that her time is going toward the right things. From making the unknowns known and creating explicit expectations to defining personal minimums, setting clearer goals, and building a simple “cookbook” of repeatable behaviors, she explains how to move out of paralysis and back into focused action.This conversation is not about doing more or creating a perfect routine. It is about building enough clarity and structure to keep moving forward when work, family, relationships, health, and household responsibilities all need your attention. Tiffany also shares how unrealistic goals can create a cycle of failure and restarting, why minimums help you stay consistent during difficult weeks, and how taking responsibility for your current outcomes gives you more power to change them.What You'll LearnHow to make the unknowns known so overwhelm feels more manageableWhy personal minimums help you stay consistent during your hardest weeksHow to turn big goals into repeatable behaviors you can actually trackWhy taking responsibility for your current outcomes gives you more power to change themTimestamps:(00:00) Intro(02:03) When every priority starts competing at once(03:54) How overwhelm turns into paralysis(08:28) Making the unknowns known(11:29) Why minimums work better than maximum effort(14:32) The relationship minimums that keep you connected(17:34) When specific goals create unnecessary pressure(20:06) Building a cookbook for consistent progress(23:23) The daily behaviors shaping your bigger priorities(26:59) How taking responsibility gives you more agency(33:11) Resetting your focus for a new seasonFor more from Tiffany:Follow Tiffany on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tiffany.sauderLearn more: https://www.tiffanysauder.com Ready to build your own Life of And?

Join us as we dig deeper into last Sunday's sermon from Pastor Gabe Kasper "The Gospel Scattered" and hear from Amy Duncan and Nate Zuellig on "Alleluia". Digging Deeper Questions: Are you a "Churchlover?" Why or why not? What makes it difficult? Where do you see God using you right now? Is there a place or people he is calling you to? What has it looked like for you to receive the gospel personally? Did that change how you approached your faith? Scripture Reading: Acts 8:1-25 1 And Saul approved of his execution. And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. 2 Devout men buried Stephen and made great lamentation over him. 3 But Saul was ravaging the church, and entering house after house, he dragged off men and women and committed them to prison. 4 Now those who were scattered went about preaching the word. 5 Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ. 6 And the crowds with one accord paid attention to what was being said by Philip, when they heard him and saw the signs that he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying out with a loud voice, came out of many who had them, and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed. 8 So there was much joy in that city. 9 But there was a man named Simon, who had previously practiced magic in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, saying that he himself was somebody great. 10 They all paid attention to him, from the least to the greatest, saying, "This man is the power of God that is called Great." 11 And they paid attention to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his magic. 12 But when they believed Philip as he preached good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. 13 Even Simon himself believed, and after being baptized he continued with Philip. And seeing signs and great miracles performed, he was amazed. 14 Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John, 15 who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit, 16 for he had not yet fallen on any of them, but they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 17 Then they laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit. 18 Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money, 19 saying, "Give me this power also, so that anyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit." 20 But Peter said to him, "May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money! 21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God.22 Repent, therefore, of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, if possible, the intent of your heart may be forgiven you. 23 For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity." 24 And Simon answered, "Pray for me to the Lord, that nothing of what you have said may come upon me." 25 Now when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.

As the church in Jerusalem is persecuted some stay behind to keep the community strong and some scatter to proclaim the gospel in new places. Either way we see God uses his people for his purposes in response to his grace in Christ. Scripture Reading: Acts 8:1-25 Digging Deeper Questions: Are you a "Churchlover?" Why or why not? What makes it difficult? Where do you see God using you right now? Is there a place or people he is calling you to? What has it looked like for you to receive the gospel personally? Did that change how you approached your faith?

Two leading Scattered Spider members, Thaila Jubar and Owen Flowers, were sentenced to five years and six months for the 2024 Transport for London hack that knocked 148 systems offline, forced 27,000 password resets, stole customer data, and cost TfL £29 million, with wider losses estimated far higher; U.S. charges against Dubar remain unproven. Investigators also believe Russian hackers were behind last year's crippling Jaguar Land Rover attack that halted production for months and contributed to a £1.5 billion bailout, with Microsoft and multiple agencies assisting. OpenAI unveiled GPT-Red, an automated red-teaming AI for prompt injection, alongside a NIST-backed argument that finite guardrails can't be universally robust. The episode also covers ClickLock, a macOS stealer that kills apps until a password is entered, and Recorded Future's report on Iran-linked groups using ChatGPT for malware, phishing, and reconnaissance. 00:00 Headlines Kickoff 01:08 Scattered Spider Sentencing 02:57 US Charges Loom 03:29 Jaguar Land Rover Hack 04:35 GPT-Red AI Red Team 05:40 Why Guardrails Fail 06:36 ClickLock Mac Stealer 06:53 How ClickLock Spreads 07:59 Defense and Cleanup Tips 08:37 Iran Uses AI for Ops 10:30 Wrap Up and Next Show

The Love, Happiness and Success Podcast With Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
Are you chronically late, stressed, and frazzled? Feel like you never have enough time to do what you really want and need to do? Here's the reality: Until you can manage your time, you'll always feel out of control. Poor time management isn't just making you late. It's quietly stealing your life. If you feel buried, behind, overcommitted, and weirdly guilty all the time, this episode is going to hit hard. Because the problem may not be that you're lazy, scattered, or “bad at time management.” The real problem is that you're saying yes to everything and accidentally saying no to the life you actually want. I'm sitting down with Samantha Lane, TEDx speaker and founder of Origami Day, to talk about the simple time management shift that can help you stop living on autopilot. Here's the uncomfortable (but also liberating and life-changing) truth: You don't have a time problem. You have a choosing problem. Listen to learn: Why poor time management is really a life-management problem The brutal truth about your 168 hours each week How every “yes” secretly becomes a “no” Why your to-do list will never actually be done The simple weekly planning ritual that can calm the chaos If you've been trying to become more disciplined, more productive, more organized, and somehow still feel like you're failing, this conversation will help you stop blaming yourself and start choosing your life on purpose. You're not behind.You're just ready to choose differently. Xoxo, Dr. Lisa Special thanks to this month's sponsors of the podcast: Shopify — Every self-made person started somewhere.

Have you ever looked back at all the spiritual practices, creative paths, interests, and identities you have explored and wondered: Am I scattered—or is my soul revealing itself? In this episode of the Luminary Life Podcast, we explore the many gateways to soul revelation and the deeper thread that may be moving through your curiosity and seeking. For some of us, the path is not linear. We are drawn to crystals, ceremony, ritual, shamanic journeying, nature connection, creativity, and new ways of seeing ourselves. But these interests may not be random. Each one may be a doorway—revealing another facet of who you are, what you carry, and what is ready to be lived more fully. In this episode, we explore: - why the seeker is not always lost - how different spiritual practices reveal different facets of self - the difference between a gateway and an identity Not every new path is a distraction. Some are doorways. As you listen, consider: What has your seeking already revealed about you? What practice helps you hear your own inner wisdom? What gateway may be opening for you now? #LuminaryLifePodcast #SoulRevelation #SpiritualSeeker #CrystalWisdom #InnerWisdom #SacredLiving #ShamanicJourneying #natureconnection Explore more: Enter the Earth Guided Meditation: https://lori-a-andrus.kit.com/f499af4267 Ways I Can Be of Service: https://loriaandrus.com/workwithlori/ Join Sanctuary Circle: https://loriaandrus.com/sanctuary/ Begin working with the stones: https://loriaandrus.com/crystal-challenge/ Shop crystal jewelry + the Stones Speak Oracle: https://journeyjewels.com About me: https://loriaandrus.com/about/ A gentle note for this space * Please bring kindness, love, and respect into the comments.

Most creative businesses do not stay small because the owner is not talented enough. They stay stuck because the business was built too broad, too reactive, and too focused on proving something instead of building something with a clear shape underneath it. Scattered services, unclear positioning, systems that live entirely in your head, and visibility treated like an afterthought. These are not beginner mistakes you grow out of automatically. They are patterns that compound quietly for years.This episode is a honest look back at what I would do differently if I started Aventive Studio over today, after two decades in branding, over 350 brands, and a lot of hard-won clarity about what actually creates momentum in a creative agency. From narrowing services earlier to building around the life I actually wanted, this is less about tactics and more about the thinking that changes everything underneath the surface.If your business feels harder than it should right now, or like it has never quite found its shape, this one is worth a listen.Links to Connect:Media & speaking: https://kadysandel.comMy skincare branding studio: https://aventivestudio.comFor designers: https://aventiveacademy.com/profitInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kadysandel/

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode This Monday kicks off a brand new week focused on one brutally honest theme: getting your sh*t together. Coach JB dives deep into the mindset required to manifest your reality, warning that a scattered man is easy prey, while a disciplined man is an unbreakable fortress. This episode sets the stage for a week of building your "war-ready framework," preparing you spiritually, physically, and financially before the tough times hit. Key Topics Discussed: Manifesting Your Reality: Coach JB explains the powerful progression of how what you believe in your heart becomes your thoughts, then your words, and eventually your physical reality. If you can see it in your mind, you will hold it in your hands. The Danger of Unconscious Habits: A reminder that what you repeatedly do gets ingrained in your subconscious mind and becomes an unconscious activity. Building Your Fortress: Every morning wasted, temptation fed, debt ignored, and excuse made will show up as a weakness when the "enemy" attacks. Strong men do not wait to react when things go wrong; they build the wall before the war. The War-Ready Framework: An overview of the week's upcoming topics, which will challenge you with a "win for the week" and cover the battle of comfort versus discipline, tactical application, and daily execution. Preparing for the Storm: Coach JB reflects on the cycle of easy times creating weak men and hard times creating strong men. He urges listeners to become strong now, during decent times, to prepare for the tough times that are likely coming. The Weekly Podcast Schedule: A breakdown of the show's Monday-Friday structure: Monday and Tuesday are philosophical and strategic, Wednesday and Thursday are tactical, and Friday is pure motivation to get your life together. Final Takeaway: Stop waiting to react when the sht hits the fan. You must build your financial, physical, and spiritual fortress now.

There's a version of nonprofit leadership that gets sold as authenticity, luck, and the right personality in the chair — and it quietly lets leaders off the hook for the hard redesign work that real growth requires. In this episode, Brooke Richie-Babbage delivers a direct message to CEOs running $1.2M to $2.5M organizations: you've crossed enough thresholds to feel institutional complexity, but you haven't yet built the structural architecture to carry it. Drawing on three themes that surfaced at a retreat with multi-million-dollar nonprofit leaders, Brooke names the three patterns that most often block sustained impact — and reframes each as a design gap rather than a character flaw. Listeners will walk away able to identify which of the three is most true for them right now, and with a concrete question to sit with this week to close the gap.What You'll LearnHow to spot the difference between busy hours and building hours — and why being exhausted tells you nothing about whether your week was load-bearing.How to shift from operator-mode to architect-mode capacity investment — so your trainings, consultants, and cohorts finally connect to a single structural build instead of scattering.How to tell strategic reassessment apart from fear when a new model underperforms — and the 90-day commitment that separates leaders who compound from leaders who quit.Key TakeawaysThe work that builds an organization is rarely the work that feels most urgent on a Tuesday. Reactive work expands to fill all available space unless you design your week to protect the structural, high-leverage work first.Scattered capacity investment is a stage mismatch, not a character flaw. This happens because leaders keep asking operator questions — "what's useful right now?" — when the organization needs architect questions: "what specific gap in my design does this close, and does it connect to my last and next investment?"Most abandoned strategies were one iteration away from working. Resilient fundraising engines, boards, and infrastructure are refined through iteration, not inspiration — so before deciding a model is wrong, commit to 90 more days, change one thing, and let the data (not fear) make the call.Want to work together?

There's sci-fi that blows up planets, and then there's sci-fi that hits you right in the soul. Ben Crane's Scattered Futures looks like one of those books that understands the future is not just built with machines, war, and shiny helmets—it's built with people, with choices, and with the small acts of kindness that keep us from turning into emotionally expired space jerky. On this episode of the Comic Crusaders Podcast, we sit down with writer and editor Ben Crane to talk about his new Kickstarter project, Scattered Futures, a 32-page collection of three full-color science fiction comics that explores hope and human connection in a harsh and fractured universe. The anthology features art by Sierra Barnes, Jenny Fleming, and Martyn Lorbiecki, and adds another strong chapter to Crane's growing body of work, which also includes Cosmic Cadets, A Man of Lies, and editing the sci-fi anthology Systemic. What makes this project stand out is that it isn't just selling cool concepts—it's selling emotional truth. In a recent interview, Crane explained that Scattered Futures came out of a period of personal hopelessness and became a way to imagine a better world through small, quiet moments of optimism. That's a powerful hook right there, because the best comics don't just entertain us—they give us language for what we're surviving. And that's exactly why this conversation matters. We talk with Ben about his creative journey, what it means to work across prose and comics, how editing sharpens storytelling, and why collaboration is everything when building a project like this. We also dig into the DNA of Scattered Futures how three short stories can still feel emotionally rich, why gentleness can be radical in fiction, and how science fiction can reflect the fears of today while still offering a glimpse of tomorrow that doesn't feel totally doomed. For indie comics fans, this is the sweet spot. You've got a creator with real storytelling range, a project with a strong emotional identity, and a Kickstarter that proves readers are hungry for thoughtful, human-centered science fiction. The campaign is already funded and runs through April 4, 2026, which means now is the perfect time for readers to jump in, support the book, and help push this thing even further into orbit. If you love comics with heart, ideas, and purpose, keep your eyes on Scattered Futures. This one feels like it's coming from a real place and those are the books that stay with you.

When persecution scattered the early church, it looked like the enemy was winning—but God was actually planting the gospel everywhere believers fled. Pastor Jason challenges us to ask: in the hard places of our lives, is the enemy winning, or is God working? Faithfulness doesn't always look the same, but it always means trusting God's hand and sharing Jesus wherever we are.
