In this episode of The Lion and The Bear, we take a deep dive into the remarkable life of Louis Zamperini—a man whose story embodies resilience, redemption, and unwavering faith. From his early days as a record-breaking Olympic athlete to his harrowing experiences as a World War II bombardier and prisoner of war, Zamperini’s life is nothing short of extraordinary.

We explore his journey through unimaginable suffering, the strength that carried him through years of captivity, and the incredible transformation that followed his post-war struggles. Ultimately, we focus on the power of forgiveness and the way God’s grace shaped the legacy he left behind.

This is more than a story of survival—it’s a testament to the unbreakable spirit of a man who leaned into God’s promises and found peace through faith.
