Where do faith, terror, and wonder intersect? In this powerful episode, author James G. Robinson takes us on an extraordinary journey across continents as he fights to save his son's life, sharing the profound lessons he learned about faith, resilience, and finding wonder in life's most challenging moments.
From an unexpected prenatal diagnosis to a daring medical transport across the Pacific, James shares how his family found humanity in hospital kitchens, strength in unlikely allies, and profound wonder in life's most terrifying moments.
James Robinson is the author of More Than We Expected (morethanamemoir.com) a memoir of his five years parenting a remarkable child, an experience that opened his eyes to what it means to live, grow and heal. The book was inspired by his article “Road to Recovery”, which was featured on the front page of the Times’ Sunday Travel section in 2017. Describing a road trip his family took after the death of his son, the piece was selected as a notable essay in "The Best American Travel Writing 2018."

- How a source of terror can also be a source of wonder
- How communicating with children honestly is the best gift you can offer
