Summary
In Part 2 of this episode, Victor continues his discussion with friend and fellow U.S. Marine Mark “Oz” Geist, author of “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, and was left unable to work due to injuries. It was a turning point in his walk with God and also prompted him to launch the Shadow Warriors Project, to support others in this line of work. The men also talk about being able to love someone who disagrees with you, and being a part of something bigger than yourself. Don’t miss the practical tips offered in the conclusion of this episode!
