The Battle for Independence - TBH 426
About this episode
The episode discusses the battle for mental freedom and independence through personal stories of joy and peace amidst adversity.
"The mortar shells and rockets were falling all around us. There were loud explosions. So, I turned over and fell back to sleep" ---------- There is a war on. The battle over our minds. Last week's conversation with Denny Thompson left me pondering one unforgettable sentence: "Nothing really matters except getting Home to God." Despite the loss of his eyesight, and arm, and a leg, his mind was free to experience joy and peace. Then an old recording unexpectedly resurfaced, taking me back to a war movie eleven years ago. This memorable night taught me the same lesson as Denny. Add to that a Vietnam veteran whose astonishing peace while under fire still leaves me shaking my head. Suddenly, these three seemingly unique stories, all have something in common… The battle for freedom, and independence, within our own minds. ---------- Join Us October 2026 for a Pilgrimage to Medjugorje We invite you to embark with us this October 10th to 17th on a pilgrimage to Medjugorje--one of the most grace-filled and spiritually uplifting places we've ever encountered.
