When Life Isn’t Ours to Control

Episode 63: July 27, 2026. Wildfire smoke raises a broader question: what do we owe ourselves when life is beyond our control? Before we answer it, however, it is worth asking whether there is anything in our control at all. What does it mean to be in command of our own lives, our own feelings, and our response to them? Is it ever okay to “give up”? In this episode, Craig and Jack engage in a wide-ranging discussion about the human experience that references prejudice, our characters, and even a classic Peanuts cartoon.
