The Warrior's Journey

Daniel Bell is back to dive deeper into his experience as a US Army Special Operations Combat Medic (160th SOAR/Night Stalkers). This time around, he unpacks the events of June 28th, 2005 in detail from his perspective – a day that now lives in infamy as 19 special operations servicemen lost their lives during Operation Red Wings (depicted in the book and film, Lone Survivor).

As someone who experienced that tragic event in a deeply personal way, Daniel carried bitterness and anger in his heart towards all of those he deemed responsible. But over time, he would come to learn how to forgive – by receiving unfathomable forgiveness for himself from a gracious God.

Daniel Bell is a Former US Army Special Operations Combat Medic, who served as a Flight Medic (160th SOAR/Night Stalkers) in the years following 9/11. In this episode, he unpacks the winding story of his military experiences that often included what seemed to be useless waiting, but what would turn out to be crucial preparation for a great and profound purpose.

So many things we face don't make sense while we're enduring them, but we can be confident God is working in the waiting. But we can't get to the fight too soon. All we can do is live in the moment and allow God to work in us so that we can be prepared for what lies ahead...

In this episode, Kevin Weaver and Rob Stone sit down for a candid, vulnerable, and sometimes uncomfortable conversation about something that is universally experienced, but rarely brought out into the light of day to be unpacked: sexual struggles and sin.

Pornography has never been more accessible, and we live in a world that is driven by a perverted understanding of sex. The reality is, sexuality goes way beyond the physical–it's matter of the heart, and our indulgence in it outside of God's design can leave emotional and spiritual scars that stick with us for a lifetime.

But, there's hope! No matter how strong sin's grip may be on our hearts, the power of God's work in our lives is stronger, and He is able to heal us and set us free.
