Born good or broken from the start? I sat down with a National Guard soldier on his path to becoming an Army Chaplain — and he didn't let me off easy.

How war and extreme pressure test the limits of your morality What happens when "good" people hit their moral breaking point Can faith anchor your morality when everything else fails?

What happens when the person who saves lives on their worst day faces their own? This week's guest is a 7-year firefighter, Triple Crown ultra runner, and endurance athlete who was struck by a car while cycling — and came back more determined than ever. We dive into his journey from motocross to wildland fire to municipal firefighting to running some of the most brutal races on the planet, what it means to truly push your limits, and how family and full-body wellness keep him grounded.
