Capt. Jerry Coffee: Faith Beyond Survival in the Hanoi Hilton

What gives a man the strength to endure more than seven years as a prisoner of war—and come home with his faith, hope, and love of country intact?In this powerful episode of The Boomer Effect, Jerry and Rose welcome Susan Page Coffee, founder of Beyond Survival and widow of the late Navy Captain Gerald "Jerry" Coffee, one of America's most respected Vietnam POWs.Jerry Coffee spent more than seven years imprisoned in North Vietnam's notorious Hoa Lo Prison—often referred to as the "Hanoi Hilton." Subjected to isolation, torture, and relentless psychological pressure, he discovered a truth that would define the rest of his life: God equals strength.Susan shares the remarkable story of Jerry's captivity, the secret brotherhood forged among American POWs through the famous tap code, the role of faith under unimaginable suffering, and how God transformed the question "Why me?" into the prayer, "Show me."Together, Jerry and Rose explore what "Beyond Survival" really means—not simply enduring hardship, but allowing God to shape suffering into purpose, courage, and hope.As America celebrates 250 years of freedom, this conversation reminds us of the extraordinary price paid by those who defended it and the timeless lessons their lives still teach us today.Visit Beyond Survival to learn more and help preserve the legacy of America's Vietnam POWs:https://goingbeyondsurvival.org/Please Support this Podcast:www.omegaplanners.netwww.jlsmithassociates.comhttps://patriotmobile.com/partners/rosewww.americansforprosperity.orgwww.theboomereffect.comwww.askchapter.org/realhelp https://wordmarketingservices.com/Rose’s Ministry: www.sheiscalledbyhim.com
