This episode is being recorded during an unprecedented time for our world as we find ourselves in the middle of the Coronavirus pandemic.

People all over the world are coming together to do their part by staying home to flatten the curve.

In times, like these, we can find ourselves pondering the bigger questions in life, such as: 

  • What's my purpose? 
  • Should I start a family- fight for a cause? 
  • How can we improve humanity?
  • What's the truth about marriage?
  • Why do people keep getting married when fifty percent break up? 
  • What makes them think they will beat the odds? 
  • And if they do, what exactly are the secrets to making it work?

Joining us today is someone who has traveled around the globe to the source of the world's different belief systems and asked theologians, scientists, skeptics, and everyday people why we exist, what's the truth about marriage, and many more deep questions to bring light to these questions. 

I'm excited to introduce the award-winning Filmmaker and Producer, Roger Nygaard!

You'll discover: 

  • The multitude of perspectives from different cultures, classes, belief systems, and experiences. 
  • The truth about marriage and what Roger learned from interviewing the Gottmans from the Gottman Institute.
  • Practical strategies to use in your life as you explore these profound questions to evolve your journey.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

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.
