My friend Dave Nielsen, a former Army Ranger and Delta Force Operator is back on the podcast. Dave co-hosts a brand new show called the Christology Podcast. After leaving the Army, he got a theology and biblical studies degree. We discussed the difficulty of Delta's selection and how his experience in dealing with adversity growing up in Detroit helped him make it through. 

Dave talked about the culture of servant leadership at Delta Force which plays a crucial role in the unit's success. We touched on his time as a dog handler and his dog Pepper. There are many nuances of operating in a Special Mission Unit that, includes going after bomb makers and dealing with enemies who wear suicide vest. We touched on Hostage Rescue Operations, Faith, Israel, his time in the Ranger Regiment, and much more. Tune in.
