## Episode 10 of the Relentless Hope Podcast

The Relentless Hope Podcast, hosted by Steve Gatena, founder of PRAY.COM shares vulnerable testimonies from the world's most passionate Christian leaders who overcame extreme trials through God's faithfulness.

Dr. Zimbardo shares that he spent six months in a children’s hospital at age five for whooping cough and double pneumonia. While there, he prayed every morning to Jesus for strength and recovery. This experience made him realize he wanted to be a leader and impact people’s lives. He explains how we can prevent good people from becoming evil and how anyone (including you!) can be a hero.
