Ever stumbled on something that flips your perspective? 💡 I did, browsing archive.org, when I found a public domain audiobook of every interview Mark Twain—aka Samuel Clemens—ever gave. It hit me...where was Twain during the Civil War. I remember no mention of his participation or service. The front half of this episodes reflects on his escape out west with his brother Orion. ✨ But could he really escape 🏃‍♂️ ? Could anyone? 🤔

Join me on a journey back to the 1860s...

What You’ll Hear 🎧:

• 🏜️ Twain’s escape to Virginia City and the West’s false promise of peace.
• ⚔️ The Civil War’s limits and the West’s own dangers—Indigenous tensions, lawless towns.
• 🌍 How even Twain’s world travels couldn’t satisfy the soul’s longing.
• 😔 Today’s mayhem and our urge to run from it.
• ✝️ The only true escape: heaven’s promise through Christ.
• ✝️ Key verses:Revelation 21:4, Philippians 3:14 🙏

Why Listen? 💬 This episode isn’t just history—it’s personal. It’s about our ache for serenity and the hope that never fades. 🌟 Share your thoughts: have you ever wanted to escape the chaos? How do you keep your eyes on the “high calling”? Drop a comment! 📩
