From 9/11 to a Life of Purpose In this riveting episode, we hear from former Secret Service agent Darin Kinder, the author of Bury Me in a Dirty Suit. Darin provides a street-level, moment-by-moment account of his experience at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. He recounts the chaos, the destruction, and the personal transformation that occurred as a result. More than just a story of a day in history, Darin’s testimony is a powerful call to action for believers to live a life with a greater sense of mission. -- A Personal Revelation: Darin shares how the title of his book came from a powerful prayer he prayed the day after 9/11, where he committed to serving God and getting his "suit dirty" for His glory. -- The Power of Teamwork: He emphasizes the value of serving alongside other believers, noting that he felt timid and less effective when alone, but was bold and confident when working as part of a team. -- Finding a God-Given Purpose: Darin speaks to the struggle many Christian men face with feeling "listless" and lacking a sense of mission. He shares how his career path, though initially a setback, ultimately led him to a place of service. -- A Brush with History: Darin recounts his close proximity to President George W. Bush during the famous "bullhorn" address at Ground Zero, describing the raw emotion of the scene and the powerful connection between the President and the grieving nation. -- The Secret Service Mission: He gives an insider's look into the two main aspects of a Secret Service agent's job—protective assignments and criminal investigations—and how both roles allowed him to "fight the good fight" and make a tangible difference in people's lives. ******* This is the radio program with the music removed.
