  • Ross Douthat: Living the Quest

    Six years ago, Ross Douthat had it all together: a growing family, a great job at the New York Times, and a beautiful house in the Connecticut countryside.

    Then he fell mysteriously ill, sometimes struggling even to get through a day without horrific pain. What happened? How did he go on? Where was God in all of this?

    In this Living The Quest podcast conversation, Dr. Shannon Valenzuela, writer and director of The Quest, speaks with Ross about his experience, his faith, and how his years-long illness brought him through unknown, difficult, deep places.

  • Living the Quest: Katie Prejean McGrady '11
    Some people might receive dramatic messages from God, but what about the rest of us? How can we ordinary people discover our purpose? As we learn in today’s conversation with writer, speaker, radio host, and UD alumna Katie Prejean McGrady, our purpose sometimes becomes clear when we walk the path that God has laid in front of us. Dr. Shannon Valenzuela, writer, narrator, and director of The Quest, speaks with Katie about facing challenges in her own life, why God might close some doors to open others, and how perseverance can help us discover the joy in the ordinary things.Learn more about The Quest: https://quest.udallas.edu/Learn more about Katie Prejean McGrady: https://www.katieprejeanmcgrady.com/
