The Ember That Stayed Lit

Not every fire ends in ashes.

Sometimes, what’s left behind… still burns.

In this deeply personal bonus episode, I close out Chapter 3 not with a dramatic finale—but with a quiet truth: something in me survived.

I speak on the symbolic and personal meaning of “the ember”—from the emotional flame that stayed lit through betrayal, divorce, and isolation… to the real-life Ember, my estranged niece, whom I once held close but haven’t seen in years.

This is a tribute to what didn’t burn.

What couldn’t be stolen.

What still glows inside, even after everything.

Featuring Isaiah 42:3, this episode is a soft but powerful reflection on survival, spiritual restoration, and the beginning of return.

Chapter 3 is closed. But the ember still burns. And Chapter 4 begins now.
