Todd von Helms sits down with Dr. Michael Strauss to discuss his research, as well as his faith in God. Dr. Strauss (PhD, UCLA) is an award winning tenured professor at the University of Oklahoma. He is an experimental particle physicist who studies the fundamental particles and forces in the universe. He is currently analyzing data from the ATLAS detector using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland. The LHC is the highest energy particle collider in the world and has the potential of discovering new phenomena which may extend or supersede the standard model of particle physics. Studies indicate that answers to fundamental questions about the nature of mass, the asymmetry between matter and antimatter, the particles that make up the dark matter in the universe, and other new phenomena may be discovered at the LHC.

Todd sits down inside the famous Cameron Indoor Stadium at Duke University to interview teenager Thomas Hash, who talks about his courageous battle with brain cancer, and how many organizations, celebrities, doctors, nurses, friends, family, and even strangers, have rallied around him.

Todd sits down with Rabbi Dr. Meir Soloveichik, who serves as the rabbi of the oldest Jewish congregation in the United States, located on the upper west side of Manhattan. Soloveichik is a prolific writer, has a PhD in Philosophy of Religion from Princeton University, serves on the U.S. Commission for International Religious Freedom, and is quite the joke and story teller. Differences matter, but not near as much as what people have in common. Amid our overly busy and sometimes polarized culture, Todd and the Rabbi discuss how Shabbat (rest) and religious freedom for all people promote human flourishing.
