Welcome to the very first episode of Praydate! Hosted by Christa B. Allen and Victoria Daniel, Praydate is a sacred yet unfiltered space where devotion meets real life. In this opening conversation, we sit with the mystery of suffering: If God is good, why do we suffer?
Together, we explore the Epicurean paradox, the tension between free will and divine love, and the way pain can become a teacher when we meet it with presence. We share honest stories of grief, health challenges, and transformation, moments that broke us open and brought us home to ourselves.
Here, we don’t hide from the hard questions. We hold them in prayer. We ask what integrity, faith, and gratitude look like when life feels unfair, and how even our deepest doubts can become the sacred ground where we grow.
This is an invitation to bring your whole self - the faith, the fear, the longing, the levity - and commit to your connection with the Divine. Not once, but every day. Because every day is another chance to connect.
It’s a daily commitment.
It’s a date.
A Praydate.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
