Fear doesn't go away. Not for a 19-year-old Marine about to fly into Iran. Not for a 32-year-old watching AI eliminate their career. Not for a Navy SEAL who spent years wondering if he deserved to be forgiven. Courage is the thing that lets you take one more inch. Former Navy SEAL and CIA officer David Rutherford sits down alone on Easter weekend to break down what courage actually is — across philosophy, psychology, behavioral science, and theology — and shares the most personal episode he's ever recorded. From Plato and Kierkegaard to Christ's final seven statements on the cross, David builds a framework for how to face fear, suffering, and uncertainty in your own life. This isn't a geopolitical briefing. This is one man telling you the truth about what it takes to keep going.
