FLAME with Brad Hook
A Journey From Pain and Addiction to Creative Expression
Author and filmmaker Niki Norlock — director of the documentary Beyond Strength — on transformation through faith, creativity and the unexpected ways guidance arrives when you ask.
Niki's journey runs through pain and addiction to a creative life she describes as answered prayer: a book written in the Philippines, a documentary grown from that book, and a faith found through asking rather than arguing. She's candid about the darkness and specific about the way out.
The conversation ranges across truth as a discipline, learning from cultures and belief systems beyond your own, and how creative expression completes healing that willpower alone couldn't. A story-rich episode about the strange, generous ways transformation actually happens.
