New guest EVERY SUNDAY.
Host: Shan

Augustine of Hippo chased pleasure and lived a life of rebellion. Martin Luther was plagued by crippling anxiety and guilt. John Calvin battled deep insecurities. C.S. Lewis dismissed Christianity as a myth. John Newton profited from the slave trade. Even Mother Teresa, known for her unwavering service, endured decades of spiritual dryness and doubt.

When you explore the lives of these prominent Christians, a clear truth emerges: none of them started out as saints. So how did they become the men and women who inspire us today?

On How to Walk Like a Giant, we uncover the stories behind their transformations—the struggles, failures, and faith that shaped them—so we can learn to walk the same path toward becoming faithful Christians ourselves.

The path to success is rarely a straight line. And the path to success as a creative professional? That line tends to be especially squiggly. In the new series, Journey of an Artist, singer-songwriter and poet, Emmeline, talks to creatives from all walks of life about their passions, their paths, and the persistence they’ve employed to reach a point of professional and personal fulfillment. Emmeline sits down with voice actors, poets, dancers, musicians, graphic designers, stylists, and more to discuss the decisions they’ve made, the challenges they’ve faced, the obstacles they’ve overcome, and where they’d like their vision to take them next. She also reinforces the belief that—with love, grit, perseverance, and an abundance of joy—anything is possible.You can live the life you want, the life that brings you the most joy, and Emmeline's guests are living proof. Episodes air most Sundays at 12 PM CST on Deep Ellum Radio. For behind-the-scenes information and insights, follow Emmeline on Instagram at @EmmelineMusic.

Special thanks to the Mandela Foundation. To find out more about the life of Nelson Mandela, visit NelsonMandela.org.

In 1993, after 27 years of imprisonment, Nelson Mandela sat down with ghostwriter Richard Stengel to begin working on Long Walk to Freedom, a critically acclaimed memoir that would become a best seller around the globe.

Mandela: The Lost Tapes reveals never-before-heard audio from Stengel’s interviews with the Nobel Prize winner, freedom fighter, and former South African president. Hours of rare recordings detail the turning points of Mandela’s life, key moments that shaped a revolution and the man who was to bring freedom to his nation.

In this Audible Original, Stengel relives his intimate chats with Mandela, attempting to answer the questions ‘What made Nelson Mandela who he is?’ and ‘How can the rest of us be more like him?’

In Stengel’s own words: “It’s partly the story about how Mandela and I wrote his memoir Long Walk to Freedom. But much more than that, it’s a story about our unusual friendship, my struggle to learn who Mandela really was, and my quest to understand what makes a human being great.”

Mandela: The Lost Tapes provides an intimate look at who Nelson Mandela was beyond his carefully curated public persona. Through Mandela’s own words, he reveals his extraordinary journey to becoming one of the greatest leaders in modern history.

Like a Rubber Biskit, I have spent my life bouncing from here to there and back to here again. I have created, guided, and been the inspiration for many people, projects, and events. I cannot sit still and must be constantly doing something, going somewhere, and being involved. Writing, Art, Tattooing, Photography, Video, and my Podcast affords me an opportunity to release the madness that transpires within my mind.

Sit back and listen up, because Sean James isn't called The Repo Man for nothing. Channel 4 even made a hit documentary about him.
Sean was the most feared and notorious Repo Man within the UK spanning the last three decades. For the first time ever, hear the untold stories by the legend himself. Some are horrific, others are thought provoking and the rest will leave you laughing out loud.
