Joni Eareckson Tada joins the guys to talk about a lifetime of faith, suffering, service, and choosing to find joy. How do you build the habit of gratitude? How can we better welcome families living with disabilities? How can we be anti-fragile and compassionate?

The guys are joined by the scientist who led the Human Genome Project and, more recently, the Director of the National Institutes of Health.

First return guest, Katherine Boyle, joins the guys to pick up where they left off. How can technology strengthen families? Why do boys need risks? How can women combine work and motherhood?

Andy Crouch
Technology, idolatry, time, and habits. Andy Crouch joins the gang to talk about technology, work without rest, and rest. How radical is an hour a day, a day a week, and a week a year? How does rest make us better at work? Is anybody a digital native? Golf, magic, acorn (not cogs) metaphors. It’s a wild ride.
