My definition of a hero is someone who takes the time to see and the effort to act on

behalf of someone else.

It doesn't require a title, no equipment, no superpowers, just attentive to someone beside yourself

and willingness to act.

Welcome to the Jesus Calling Podcast.

Today, we celebrate two heroes who not only courageously served in the

United States military but acted in true valor as they placed the lies of

those they served above their own. Southwest Airlines pilot and retired Navy pilot

Captain Tammy Joe Schultz and retired Air Force pilot in former Vietnam

P.O.W. Colonel Carlisle Smitty Harris.

First up in April 2018, Captain Tammy Joe Schultz was flying Southwest Flight 1380 when the left engine of the plane exploded.

She safely guided the plane down with one engine and made a successful emergency landing.

But before that day, Tammy Joe

had spent years overcoming hurdles to achieve her dreams of being a pilot

and shares how one particular trial in her Navy years

may have given her the training that helped her save

148 lives.

Well, I'm Tammy Joe Schultz.

I live here in Bernie, Texas.

I'm a wife and a mother, and I'm blessed to be in this time in history and in this country.

Also have had such an advantage in growing up in a wonderful home in New Mexico, cherished by my family and raised in a faith that there were

no second class citizens.
