Summary

In this episode, Victor talks with friend and fellow U.S. Marine Mark “Oz” Geist, who chronicled his career-ending battle in “13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi.” Mark was serving as a private security contractor protecting a CIA facility when the terrorist attack occurred, in 2012. He is credited with helping save the lives of 25 Americans, but was seriously injured in the fight. His latest mission — the Shadow Warriors Project — aims to provide medical and financial support for others wounded or the families of those killed while conducting similar paramilitary security operations. During their discussion, the two touch on issues facing our culture today and the difference faith makes. Tune in to hear the incredible story of a real-life hero!
