Hear Rabbi Dr. Ari Lamm get the inside scoop from Bill Adler, formerly of Def Jam Recordings, on the similarities and lessons to be learned from Abraham's story in Lech Lecha and the 1980s hip hop scene as they illustrate how staying true to oneself can have long-lasting effects.

What would you do if God told you to jump on a boat and prepare for the rest of humanity to be destroyed? Would you try to warn your friends and neighbors? Would you risk your life to save strangers? The Biblical Noah didn't, but a young Polish girl named Stefania did: Sharon Cameron, the author of the new critically acclaimed novel The Light in Hidden Places, joins us to tell us this unsung hero's inspiring story of how one person's courage and faith can change the entire world.

Sohrab Ahmari, prominent writer and opinion editor for the New York Post, joins us to tell the story of his own recreation, which took him from Iran to New York and from Islam to Marxism and, finally, to a deep commitment to the Catholic faith.
