The Unexpected Adventure with Sam Kelly

The Unexpected Adventure with Sam Kelly

Hope, Help & Humor for Families w/ Special needs If you have a family member with special needs, you know that it can be scary and you will have a lot of questions. There are times where you feel very alone. Sam Kelly walked through it and is walking through it with some of the best teachers, counselors, therapists, and friends, and this podcast series is a gift to help you do the same. The goal is to move from something that is scary and foreign into something that we are allowed to be curious about and that we can study and we can delight in. God made us all with special needs, and when you explore it with team, it’s so much more fun.

    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.
