Receiving Covering Fire from 8,000 Miles Away

Charles Hartford felt an impossible calm during the Jessica Lynch rescue. Two months later, he learned why.

You ever have those moments in life where as they are happening, you can feel something changing within you? It’s as if you can sense this new information you’re taking in embedding itself deep within you.

Rarely have I had this sense of experiencing real change in my perspective in real-time. Shockingly this happened not just once, but twice, in my conversation with my friend Charles Hartford.

Charles is an incredible man, who has lived an incredible life and can relay those learnings in a wildly engaging manner. I could have talked with and learned from Charles for hours.

Charles leads by example when it comes to fulfilling his role as a leader, servant, husband, father, teacher, community member, and a man of faith.

Listen to the full episode on your streaming platform of choice, but specifically find the moment that shifted my perception and shattered any doubt I had about the power of prayer here.

I used to be dismissive and critical of prayer, often thinking: why don’t you actually take some real action to help someone?

Charle’s story challenged that perspective. After all, when someone you love is 8,000 miles away, engaged in daily, unknown levels of conflict, what else is there to do but pray?
