Papillon

Send us a text

In this episode of Hope is Kindled, we turn to Papillon, Henri Charrière’s unforgettable tale of resilience, defiance, and the unbreakable human spirit. For the first time on this podcast, you’ll also hear a guest voice—my own—bringing a more personal dimension to the reading and reflection. It felt critical to get this story in at this moment, because Papillon reminds us that hope is not a luxury but a necessity—that even in the harshest cages, the human will can dream, endure, and rise. This book matters, and its lessons on courage, friendship, and freedom belong alongside the greatest works we have explored together.
