David “Rut” Rutherford takes you inside the deepest chambers of human suffering — personal loss, combat trauma, addiction, divorce, the death of friends, and the quiet agony that lives in every home.

He explores the concept of a “Hierarchy of Suffering” — how we rank pain, compare trauma, and how faith, brotherhood, and purpose can reshape that hierarchy and keep us moving forward.

From combat veterans and custody battles to Christ on the cross and Nietzsche’s philosophy, Rut asks the haunting question:

👉 How do we carry the weight without collapsing beneath it?

This episode is not about despair — it’s about shared pain, empathy, resilience, faith, and continuing the mission.
