The Triumph of The Human Spirit & The Transformative Power of Storytelling

This episode is about the writing—and the magic—of a true story that found me at a time when I needed it most. In my conversation with author Mark Sullivan, it became clear that this is just what his novel Beneath a Scarlet Sky does: it finds the people who need it. People on the brink of change. People searching for hope, meaning, or a new way of seeing their lives.

Through love, war, and unimaginable pressure, his spirit isn’t just tested—it’s transformed. This book found me in a season of struggle, and it reminded me of the resilience we’re all capable of.
