Faith Tested and Soul Restored.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with retired Army Captain James McCormick II to hear his remarkable story of courage, faith, and leadership in combat. Captain McCormick recounts the harrowing events of Easter 2004 in Iraq, when he and a small gun-truck crew repeatedly drove through deadly ambushes to escort ammunition convoys into Baghdad—saving countless lives in the process. Decorated with multiple honors including the Silver Star, Bronze Stars with Valor, and three Purple Hearts, McCormick shares not only the realities of war, but also how faith, family, and service have shaped his life after the military. This conversation is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by our service members and the strength it takes to keep serving long after the battlefield.
