What happens when unimaginable loss becomes a calling to help others heal?

In this moving episode of The MisFitNation, host Rich LaMonica welcomes Steve and Carol Riggs, the parents of U.S. Army Sgt. Andrew Riggs, who tragically took his life after returning from Afghanistan. Devastated by grief, Steve and Carol experienced a life-changing spiritual awakening that transformed their pain into purpose.

This conversation is about faith, love, loss, and how even tragedy can lead to a mission that saves lives.
