Zac Northup's Through the Fading DarknessSNEAK PEEK: A Mind-Blowing Chapter From Beyond the Fading Darkness AudiobookThis is one of the most amazing audiobook performances you will ever hear. Seriously, it’s stunning. I wasn’t going to post another sneak peek of Beyond the Fading Darkness this week, but after listening to the latest batch of audio today, I couldn’t wait. When I wrote this chapter, I was concerned that it would be next to impossible for a narrator to read aloud. The dialogue is a mixture of English, German, and French, and the scene is very, very violent. But Scott Fleming absolutely nails all three languages as he brings this distur...2025-03-2108 min

Zac Northup's Through the Fading DarknessRebuilding Small Towns in Rural AmericaPrior to the pandemic, I ran a nonprofit that went into rural high schools and taught kids how to conceptualize and start their own small businesses. The goal was to help them create opportunities for themselves and their communities. One aspect of the program involved educational travel and immersive learning. In 2019, I was fortunate enough to partner with Marshall University and eight interns from the school of journalism and the art & design programs joined me for a six month project. After a series of meetings and some serious fundraising, those interns filmed a documentary. Three separate camera...2024-10-2652 min
Zac Northup's Through the Fading DarknessConversation With Tim KennedyFour years ago, I had an opportunity to interview MMA fighter, Green Beret, entrepreneur, and humanitarian, Tim Kennedy. I was running a nonprofit that taught kids in rural areas how to conceptualize and launch their own small businesses. Tim was very supportive of both the mission and the approach I was using. The finished interview was 47 minutes long, but in this excerpt, we kinda stumbled onto the topic of what people need to do for their families during turbulent times. As we all remember, in the summer of 2020, nearly every large city was burning, so it seemed...2024-10-2107 min
