About this episode
Milam Byers shares his journey of understanding his brother's last moments and the vision he received after his death.
Milam Byers, guitarist for Christian rock legends Bleach, has spent twenty years trying to understand one moment. His older brother Josh, a decorated Army captain, was killed by a massive IED in Iraq in 2003. The explosion was so violent that it shook the ground two miles away. According to every medical report, Josh died instantly. But his driver heard him shout a command. Clear. Precise. By name. And every man in that vehicle obeyed it and lived. Milam sits down with Luke and Nate to share what the driver told him years later about a voice that couldn't have been there, but everyone heard.This is an episode about brothers, grief, and what happens when God shows up in the deepest darkness. Milam opens up about the vision he received alone in a closet the night Josh died, the satellite image nineteen years later that confirmed every detail, and why the theology of suffering isn't just academic to him. He's still putting the pieces back together. And his brother's last words keep pointing him forward.
