Description

Show NotesWelcome to FEARLESS! On this episode of Fearless we’re commemorating Veterans Day and all of those men and women who have served our country. My special guest is Lieutenant General William ‘Jerry’ Boykin who’s been motivated by his faith and passion for this country to serve on the front lines.In our conversation, Boykin shares about his love for the U.S. military, how his father and several uncles served in World War II and the power of a praying mother. He also reflects on how he struggled with his faith and God after the Battle of Mogadishu, known by many as the Black Hawk Down incident, where 19 service members died and dozens were injured, including Boykin himself.  “It broke me,” he told me. “I was really angry with God. And all I could think was, ‘God, why did you let this happen?’” Veterans Day is an opportunity to take a moment and thank those men and women who have dedicated their lives to our military and protecting our country.  “Just live your faith,” Boykin said. “And God will take care of the rest. You live your faith and be faithful.”I’m so thankful for those veterans who have served on and off the battlefield, and especially Lt. Gen. Boykin for joining me today. I also want to thank my brother, Edward Graham, who spent 16 years in the U.S. Army and Special Operations. I hope that this podcast fills you with the hope of the Gospel and a greater appreciation for those who serve in the United States Armed Forces.Scriptures Referenced1 John 1:9Psalm 91John 15:13Going Farther General Boykin’s book - Never Surrender: A Soldier’s Journey to the Crossroads of Faith and Freedom https://www.amazon.com/Never-Surrender-Soldiers-Journey-Crossroads/dp/0446583227 Websites:Billy Graham Evangelistic Association -- https://billygraham.org/ Billy Graham Radio – https://billygrahamradio.orgSamaritan’s Purse – https://samaritanspurse.org/Social Media:Cissie Graham Lynch Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/CissieGrahamLynchCissie Graham Lynch Instagram -- https://www.instagram.com/cissiegrahamlynch/Cissie Graham Lynch Twitter -- https://twitter.com/CissieGLynchBilly Graham Evangelistic Association Facebook -- https://www.facebook.com/BillyGrahamEvangelisticAssociation/Billy Graham Facebook -- https://www.facebook.com/ReverendBillyGraham/ Billy Graham Radio Facebook -- https://www.facebook.com/billygrahamradio/
