What do we say to someone who is walking through the unimaginable—the loss of a child, a devastating diagnosis, the fallout from a natural disaster? What happens when that tragedy enters our own lives?

On today’s episode of Fearless I had the honor of sitting down with Dr. Lee Warren—neurosurgeon, author, and Iraq war veteran—to talk about how to choose hope and find joy again, even in the face of unimaginable loss. Dr. Lee knows pain intimately. After battling through severe PTSD from his time serving as a surgeon in Iraq, he lost his son in a tragic act of violence. How did Dr. Lee and his family choose to move forward in faith despite every reason to give into doubt and turn away from God?

Dr. Lee and I talk about the process of choosing hope, the science behind two things being true at the same time, and when (and if) joy can come back into our lives after we go through trauma. Despite everything he’s walked through, Dr. Lee has found purpose in suffering, and we can too. My hope is that this conversation will serve as a reminder of God’s unwavering presence in the midst of sorrow and evidence that healing is possible—even after the most profound losses.

As the war in Ukraine continues, Americans remain divided on the appropriate U.S. response. Last week a meeting in the Oval Office between President Trump, Vice President Vance, and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy turned heated—taking a sensitive diplomatic discussion far too public and ending in disaster.

On today’s special episode of Fearless, I address those who called my response to the meeting “woke,” sitting down with Ken Isaacs—VP of International Programs and Government Relations here at Samaritan’s Purse—who has spent decades responding to some of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. Having spent seven months on the ground in Ukraine, Ken shares his firsthand account of the devastation, the resilience of the Ukrainian people, and the human suffering that often gets lost amidst our political debates.

Together we take a look at the dangerous rhetoric surrounding Ukraine, the shifting attitudes within the conservative movement, and the moral responsibility Christians have in times of war. We also reflect on our obligation as believers to help those in need—calling out the church and its people to stand for the weak and vulnerable.

In an era where every crisis is seen through a political lens, I hope this episode will take us beyond the headlines and memes to truly understand the human toll this war is taking—and what we can do in response.

Our culture has become increasingly obsessed with everything supernatural. From witchcraft and demons to angels and near-death experiences, it seems like our fascination with all things “otherworldly” is at an all-time high. For today’s episode of Fearless I’m joined by renowned author and journalist (and former atheist) Lee Strobel—talking through some of the most-asked questions about the reality beyond what we can see and touch.

Lee shares insights and evidence from his latest book, Seeing the Supernatural, which investigates modern-day miracles documented in medical journals, encounters with angels, and the reality of spiritual warfare. We also discuss how believers can discern between biblical truth and popular cultural distortions of the supernatural.

Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that we are engaged in a spiritual battle. These supernatural forces—Satan and his demons—are very real, but the reality and power of God is always bigger, and we can place our hope in that unchanging truth.
