Jared Laskey joins me and talks about his family, including his 18-year-old son who just graduated high school and his oldest son who left to attend a discipleship program in Switzerland. Jared and I connected over both having served in the military and seen many parts of the world. We agreed that there is too much political polarization in America today when we should be united by our shared faith in Jesus. Jared shared about how he became a Christian at 18 but later struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after serving in combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. It took him years to get treatment and do the hard work to heal. Finally in 2018 he attended a retreat where he had a major breakthrough regarding his PTSD. He realized he had shut off his emotions during a traumatic combat event, failing to feel compassion for an injured enemy combatant. Through prayer and support from fellow veterans at the retreat, Jared was able to find healing and restoration in Christ. Jared is a Staff Writer for God TV and contributor to Charisma Magazine, AG News, Message of the Open Bible and more. He has a Bachelor of Science in Pastoral Studies from Eugene Bible College in Oregon, a Master of Arts in Christian Ministry from Shepherds Theological Seminary in North Carolina and Master of Divinity from Regent University in Virginia.
