In this episode, Rev. Marc Alfano sits down with Coach Joe Kennedy and his wife

Denise, the couple whose fight for a fifteen second prayer at the fifty yard line

went all the way to the Supreme Court. Joe shares his journey from atheism to

faith, what it cost the family to refuse to stop praying, and why he would do it

all again. Denise brings the side of the story most people never hear, what those

boldness, unity, and a renewed stand for religious freedom in America.
