In this episode, Jason shares some valuable truth from the new book, Mastering Fear by Navy SEAL, Brandon Webb. Guys, you need to get this incredibly helpful book!!! – Amazon Link 

Jason also shares some valuable truth on mastering fear from God’s Word, and he makes it clear (again) that we as Christian men constantly need 3 things in our lives to be the men God’s calling us to be …

  1. We need God!
  2. We need His Word! … to constantly guide our mental self-talk when fear hits!
  3. We need other Christian men (our brothers from other mothers)!

E-29: “If you’re going through Hell … Keep going!”

In this episode, Jason brings some inspiration and motivation to those of you who’ve been feeling beat up and are stuck down in the pit. You’re not the only Christian brother going through it. All of us go through various trials that knock us down and make us want to just throw in the towel on life (even the Apostle Paul). You’re not alone, but you gotta get up! You gotta get up and fight it! “NEVER QUIT” is part of who we are in Christ. Quitting is not an option. In the strength of God, you gotta fight it! In this episode, Jason shares some of his own personal and recent trials/struggles and he then pounds us with some inspiration and motivation with some hardcore tunes. Remember what Sir Winston Churchill said, “If you’re going through Hell … keep going!” #NeverQuit

E-23: Interview with USAF Veteran, Dallas “GAR” Bozeman

 

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 starts out by sharing a little of what’s been going on in his personal life and also with his itinerant speaking ministry … BUT THEN … he gives us the MEAT … and he talks about the fact that DEPRESSION is more prevalent among Christian dudes (even Christian leaders) than most people realize.

If you’re dealing with DEPRESSION, then the first thing you need to know is that …

YOU’RE NOT ALONE! 

In this episode, you’re going to discover that you’re actually in great company with some of the most extraordinary men who’ve ever walked this earth. You’ll be shocked at how many great leaders (past and present) have battled DEPRESSION throughout their life.
