  Kelsey had a secret. (Actually, she had several secrets.)  
  While most people in university were going on dates or hanging with friends between classes, Kelsey was unknowingly entering the underground world of sex work. Juggling the demands of being a college athlete while battling with depression and her own self-worth, Kelsey was enticed the first time she heard her college professor mutter the words "sugar baby." 
  In search of money and attention, Kelsey found herself slowly entangled in an industry where she would inadvertently be groomed, ensnared, and ultimately, exploited. Moving to Texas after college, Kelsey scaled her business and began jet-setting around the world, clinging to the illusion that she was in control...that is, until an encounter with the Holy Spirit changed everything. In Folly, Daniels paints an intricate portrait of her path into sex work and the difficult journey to untangle herself from the lure of an industry that had shaped her. In this unfiltered, witty, and raw account of Kelsey's time as an Escort, Folly showcases the dark subculture that exists behind the veil of luxury. This story is a testament to the power of God's grace and mercy, and His ability to meet His children exactly where they are, regardless of setting or circumstance. 
  Author's Note: Before you embark on this listening experience, it's essential to acknowledge that the content of this book touches upon sensitive and challenging themes such as abuse, mental health struggles, and trauma. As such, it may not be suitable for younger listeners or those who may find such topics distressing. I approach these topics with honesty and with the intention of shedding light on the human experience and fostering empathy and understanding around difficult discussions. As you navigate through the chapters of this memoir, I encourage you to proceed with caution and self-care.

  The story of John and Marlene Strege, their struggle with infertility, and how God orchestrated something much bigger than their own desire to have children.  From desperation to hope, A Snowflake Named Hannah tells the story of John and Marlene and their daughter Hannah, the first ever adopted frozen embryo.  John, by profession a syndicated sports writer, walks the reader through their life story from personal accounts and meticulous research - how they were a part of starting the Snowflakes Embryo Adoption Program, how they befriended Dr. James Dobson and ended up on his Christian radio program Family Talk, how they found themselves in the fight for preborn life in American Politics during the embryonic stem cell research debate, and how they ended up at the White House more than once during George W. Bush's administration.  John's no nonsense approach to telling their story is both personal and a piece of American political history. It tells their story of how their simple desire to have children, combined with their faith in God, lead them to experience and tell this amazing true-life story.

  My Turn - When Caregiving Roles...

  Weaving two different parts of her life, Linda Wright combines the care she received from her parents and the care she gave to them when they became elderly and frail. She was born with a rare bleeding disorder, so even the slightest bump created deep bruises on her body and a minor injury kept her out of school. The disorder limited her ability to grow up like a typical kid—riding bikes, climbing, and running. Despite the many hospitalizations for uncontrolled bleeding and infusions to clot her blood for a condition that even doctors struggled to treat, Linda’s parents gave her a childhood filled with wonder, joy, and love. “My parents protected me, inspired me, and believed in me. They were the ones who had taught me how to be safe,” Linda said. When her aging and infirm parents grew to need increasing levels of care themselves, she declared, “I would do whatever it cost to care for them. It was my turn.”

  Hey, it’s Isaiah Boone, though a lot of people know me as Exodus. I want to personally invite you into my world in Life & Music. This is my unfiltered story—the ups, the downs, and everything in between. I’ll share how church pews turned into rap stages, how heartbreak nearly broke me, and how faith, family, and that undeniable need to keep making music pulled me through. 
  I’ve been on both sides of the mic: one foot in gospel choirs, another in street rap battles. Along the way, I faced backstabbing deals, painful losses, and unexpected victories that shaped who I am. It’s raw and real—sometimes heavy, sometimes light, but always honest. You’ll hear about the friendships that saved me, the hustle that pushed me, and the faith that never let me go. 
  So plug in those headphones, settle in, and let me walk you through my life. If you’ve ever dared to dream big, lost your way, or found hope in the most unlikely places, you’ll feel right at home with me.
