Summary

In 2005, Jim deployed to the Middle East as part of a Navy SEAL platoon, alongside 15 of his closest friends and brothers-in-arms. Partway during their deployment, his team suffered devastating losses in the mountains of Afghanistan in an incident detailed in the best-selling book and hit movie “Lone Survivor”. As Jim grappled with crippling grief, it was all he could do, to cling to the One who offered any glimmer of hope. Note: We’re re-releasing Jim’s story today in honor of Memorial Day, when we remember and honor those who have served and fallen while defending our country. This story was originally released in 2021.
