You must make your body."In this episode, discover how a frail little boy became one of America's most courageous presidents, how personal tragedy shaped his character, and why his love for God's creation led him to preserve millions of acres of America's most beautiful landscapes—including helping ensure places like Yosemite could inspire generations to come.More than a history lesson, this episode reminds us that our greatest weaknesses can become the very places where God develops our greatest strengths.
