What does it mean to lead a university not just intellectually, but spiritually? In this episode, we speak with Peter Kilpatrick, President of the Catholic University of America, about his role in nurturing both academic and spiritual growth on campus. We explore how CUA helps students integrate faith into their lives, how higher education can cultivate moral leaders, and why spiritual care matters in the college experience—especially for Gen Z.

In today's episode, we’re exploring a topic that many young people struggle with but don’t always talk about—how spirituality can be a source of healing for challenges regarding mental health, physical health, and overall well-being in our day-to-day lives. Our guest today is someone who has dedicated his career to studying the intersection of faith, spirituality, and well-being.

Dr. Harold Koenig is the Director of the Center for Spirituality, Theology and Health at Duke University. He is a Professor of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences and an Associate Professor of Medicine, and his research has shaped how we understand the role of faith in healing.

In today’s episode, we’re delving into a topic that feels more relevant than ever: forgiveness. What does it mean to forgive in a world shaped by cancel culture? How do faith, healing, and accountability intersect when we’ve been hurt or wronged? To help us navigate these questions, I’m thrilled to welcome Dr. Jennifer Wortham, a research associate at the Harvard Human Flourishing Program and author of A Letter to the Pope: The Keeper of the Nest.

Dr. Wortham’s work touches on some of the most challenging and transformative aspects of forgiveness, faith, and healing. Today, we’ll discuss how her personal story and professional research intersect, the role of forgiveness in a hypercritical culture, and why it’s vital to embrace human flourishing in the face of adversity.

Christophe Porot is a resident scholar at Cambridge University whose focus is on philosophy and learning about life's unanswered questions. In today's episode, I ask Christophe some questions about his own experiences with the topic and what it means to him in today's day and age.
