THE GRIZ PODCAST

More importantly, Jason shares some valuable truth he's been learning from Pastor Tim Keller about why we actually need pain and suffering in our lives ... how it purges-out our weaknesses and imperfections and then builds us into better men!

In this episode, Jason interviews Dallas "GAR" Bozeman.

Gar was born in Northwest Alabama, but in 2002 his family moved to Katy, TX where he graduated from James E. Taylor High School. Immediately after graduation, he enlisted in the United States Air Force. In 2004, he graduated from the Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal School. His military career has taken him all over world, serving in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Over all, he served four combat tours, one to Iraq, and three to Afghanistan. His military career also allowed him the privilege of working with the 1st Royal Canadian Regiment, Afghan Commandos, and the Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force in Afghanistan.

Unknown to even those closest to him, Gar’s journey wasn’t as it appeared. His years in combat had left him riddled with Post Traumatic Stress and physical injuries. More significant than any of those wounds, Gar was deeply wounded spiritually. The suffering and death that he constantly saw, left him doubting God’s sovereignty and confused him as to where it all fit into God’s bigger picture. He began turning to alcohol and also abusing the pain medication that was prescribed to him for his injuries. He soon found himself hopelessly lost and barely holding on to what remained of his young family.

That’s all I’m going to tell you … you’ve gotta listen to hear the rest of GAR’S incredible story.

I will tell you that he’s been married to his wife Kimberly for over 10 years, and they have three children: Brooks, Isabella, and Brody. His notable recognitions include: The Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts.

My brothers, what you’re about to hear is one of the greatest stories of God’s sovereign protection, mercy, grace, forgiveness, reconciliation, and transformation that I’ve ever heard in my entire life. The first time I heard it, I was in tears (good tears). If you’re needing some hope and encouragement in your faith-journey … hear ya go!

In this episode, Jason reminds us of the real meaning behind Christmas ... and then talks to us about the difference between living-faith and dead-faith ... and he also challenges us (as men who profess to be Christians) to seriously examine ourselves to see which one we really have ... living-faith or dead-faith?

If you're a Christian man struggling with porn or sex addiction ... this episode is a must-listen. It will help guide, encourage, and equip you in your fight for recovery and sobriety.

In this episode, the Dobber specifically talks about …

1. The importance of training ourselves to turn to the source of living water (God) instead of the broken cistern of porn.

2. A very bizarre encounter he had with some sort of evil presence in his apartment at the very beginning of his recovery ... he actually felt it's presence right after he took a major step to prevent himself from looking at porn.

3. What’s really going on when we as men start “dabbling” with stuff that’s not technically "porn" but we know it’s not good … and it’s not godly!

At the end of this episode, Jason also shares some recent ratings and reviews on iTunes ... and he also shares an email from one of our listeners that comes all the way from South Africa!!!
