I Made a Command Decision to Live
In honor of all who have served and in remembrance of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 we are joined by retired Air Force Lt. Col., Damon Friedman.
After serving four tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, within the Special Forces Operations community, Dr. Friedman returned home to his family for much needed rest and peace.
Instead, the war raged on in his body and mind making rest and peace nearly impossible.
With gun in hand, and the lies of the enemy attacking his thoughts, the truth pierced through the darkness that had plagued him and in that moment he decided to live for God.
His road to being rebuilt as a man of God led to founding SOF Missions, a ministry to veterans.
Are you ready to make a command decision to live for God?

Shawna Beyer
Shawna Beyer has a way of telling stories that create personal connection— to her, to one another, and to God. She has been a homeschool mom, church planter, project lead for a consulting company, and church staff member. Though she’s been involved in ministry with her husband (Dan) in Iowa, Arizona, and now Michigan, she was born and raised in Southern California and as they say, “You can take the girl out of California . . .” She is mom to four grown kids (Bryn, Drayson, Eden, and Haven) who no longer need her but humor her anyway. Shawna is passionate about the rhythms we weave into the fabric of our lives to fall more in love with God each day. Healthy foods are her go-to, but she will abandon that whole track in a heartbeat for a homemade cinnamon roll like Grandma used to make.
