    • Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust

      Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
      Feb 19 2026
      This week on 7 Minute Stories, Aaron reflects on loss, legacy, and the fragile weight of being human. From the passing of cultural icons like James Van Der Beek and Robert Duvall to the deeply personal grief of losing his uncle and cousin—both Cleveland firefighters who ran toward danger for a living—this episode explores the difference between distant loss and the kind that reshapes you. Recorded on Ash Wednesday, “Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust” wrestles with mortality, memory, and a question Aaron first asked at age 12: When the body stops, does everything stop? Or are we more like radios—receivers of something that continues beyond us? 👇 📬⁠⁠ Join the 7 Minute Stories Newsletter⁠⁠ Each month, Aaron shares a select edition of Stories in a Snap — a written short story adapted from this 7 Minute Stories podcast and thoughtfully reimagined for the page.

    • The Floating Hospital | Short Stories of Hope

      The Floating Hospital | Short Stories of Hope
      Feb 15 2026
      In a remote community along the Amazon River, a man lives for two years in quiet, crippling pain. The nearest hospital is not down the road. It is a journey away. Then one day, something white appears on the water. In this episode of 7MS Presents: Short Stories of Hope, Aaron tells the true story of a floating hospital that docks where roads do not reach, and of one Brazilian farmer whose life changed the morning he stood upright again. This is a story about dignity, skilled hands arriving by water, and the kind of hope that does not announce itself. It simply docks. *Look more about the Pope Francis Hospital Boat HERE

    • An American Buffet and the Trouble with Nostalgia

      An American Buffet and the Trouble with Nostalgia
      Feb 12 2026
      An American buffet leaves an impression on you. Sometimes good. Sometimes bad. Maybe it was a Chinese Buffet with your high school friends. Maybe it was Ponderosa. Maybe it was a frozen yogurt flavor you’ve been chasing for decades. But what happens when you go back? In this 7 Minute Story, Aaron revisits a core memory from the 90s and begins to question something deeper: Can you trust nostalgia? Does memory tell the truth? Or does time change the taste of everything? This is a story about abundance, aging, perspective, and the strange moment when the past doesn’t feel the way you remembered it. And the uncomfortable question that follows... Which version of the memory do you trust? 👇 📬⁠ Join the 7 Minute Stories Newsletter⁠ Each month, Aaron shares a select edition of Stories in a Snap — a written short story adapted from this 7 Minute Stories podcast and thoughtfully reimagined for the page.
