Beyond Black Hawk Down - Part 1 with Guest Jeff Struecker

Philippians 4:7 says, “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” It’s one thing to read these words in the Bible, but another to believe them in the midst of war and the threat of imminent death. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson talks with retired Major and Chaplain, Jeff Struecker, about his 22-year career in the U.S. Army. You’ll hear about his first encounter with Jesus through the intentional outreach of his neighbors, and how God then led him to fight bravely for his country. On this special Memorial Day program, Chaplain Struecker gives God all the glory for the supernatural peace he experienced on the battlefields as a survivor of “Black Hawk Down.”
