Wrestling with the Inner Man

A tractor. A bicycle. A split second that changes everything. Jim Prash joins us from the road to talk about resilience that is not theoretical, not motivational poster talk, but the kind you earn when your body breaks, your plans disappear, and you have to decide what you believe about God and about yourself. We start with a simple image: a potter shaping clay while it is still moldable. That becomes our guide for the whole conversation, from the fast changes that come with age to the daily...

We sit down with writer and father Eli Brackenbury to talk about what happens when a man hits that wall in midlife and finally admits the old ways of coping are not working.
