Peace Under Fire: Charles Hartford on Faith, War, and the Jessica Lynch Rescue | EP014

Charles Hartford graduated from West Point, served as an airborne Ranger infantry officer, deployed five times, taught history at the West Point, and helped lead ground forces during the 2003 rescue of American POW Jessica Lynch. But this conversation is not only about military service or a historic rescue mission. It is about faith under pressure. In this episode of More Than Capable, Charles Hartford reflects on the mentors who shaped him, the decision to serve, the weight carried by military families, and the night a joint special operations mission moved through enemy fire to reach Jessica Lynch in an Iraqi hospital. This is a conversation about war, peace, marriage, service, grief, leadership, and the kind of faith that does not always remove the storm, but can steady a person inside it. Topics include: West Point, Army Rangers, Jessica Lynch rescue, faith under fire, military family life, combat leadership, prayer, grief, fatherhood, mentorship, service, and finding peace in the middle of pressure.
