We have a special guest, soldier, American hero, and a friend of mine, Matt Hursey. In our podcast today titled, Beyond the Battlefield: A Soldier's Continuing War, Matt shares the story of his battalion's journey into Iraq's Sunni Triangle of Death recorded in the book, Black Hearts and Painted Guns, written by Kelly Adds and Daniel S. Morgan.
Matt is the recipient of the Purple Heart, and in today's podcast, takes us into the Triangle of Death, and recounts the difficult circumstances that he and his fellow soldiers faced. Just as important, he takes us beyond the battlefield and speaks to the ongoing war that a soldier continues to fight with PTSD when he returns home..
Matt's story is a soldier's story. and while he spared us of the graphic horrors that he encountered, it's important that we experience some of their pain so that we can begin to understand what they have faced. The last thing these brave men want from us is our sympathy, but they deserve our thanks and respect. Matt's story is a story that can inspire others who are struggling with PTSD from traumatic encounters that there is hope and healing through organizations like Warrior Path. .Most every soldier placed in a life and death situation reaches out to God in what is known as a "Fox Hole" prayer. We ask Matt to discuss the role of faith and the elephant in the room for everyone alive...is there a God and how do we respond to His call on our lives.
It's was honor to have recorded and produced Matt's story
Regarding the Outro Music: The song "Face of Darkness" was written and performed by James House at the Warrior Path conference that Matt attended. It was written specifically for Matt's Team based on their own traumatic struggles.
