Summary

Jase, Al, and Zach sit down with former soldier and police officer Blake Cook as he shares his powerful testimony of hitting rock bottom and finding redemption in Jesus. He opens up about trauma from war and law enforcement, a near-death experience, and the phone call that saved his life from suicide. Blake explains how Duck Dynasty first sparked his curiosity about God, leading him to fully surrender and forgive his father.
