023: Chosen Suffering with Tom Ryan
In this episode, John DiJulius talks with Tom Ryan, NCAA Championship head coach of the Ohio State University wrestling team.
As an All-American college wrestler, Tom embraced his fair share of “chosen suffering.” It wasn’t until the sudden death of their five-year-old son, Teague, that Tom and his wife encountered “unchosen suffering” in a way they never wished. In this fire, they found their faith and a process to push through the pain.
