Summary
While 25-year Navy veteran and Navy SEAL, Tim Cruickshank has been staring-up Bonefrog Coffee, he and his wife of decades have been at war with cancer. This war is now at a crucial point and I reached out to Tim and asked him if he would please let me share his story and to ask you to help his family. He was reluctant. Tim does not like asking for help; in fact, he has never asked me for anything, but I kept bugging him. They need our help; the care that may save Liz Cruickshank's life is not available in America and insurance will not cover it. Please help the Cruickshanks get this care by donating right here.
Today, you will hear Tim compare this war to combat, his family’s fight to the shooting battles he fought with his SEAL teammate. And, you will hear what Tim has learned about the medical system in America both as a Physician's Assistant, Tim’s day-job for many years, and as a husband fighting for his wife. Mostly, though, you will hear Tim describe his brave wife who refuses to give-up or to break a promise to their son.
And, yes, I am asking you to help Tim and his wife and you can do that right here.
In the picture: Tim and Liz (in the center) back when the main concern was Tim coming back from combat alive. He was also a BUDS instructor while Liz and he began their family. “She was basically a single mom all those years I was deployed”, Tim said.

What does God say?
John 15:13 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

| 0:00.0 | If you've been listening to the cast for a little while, you know that I am really |
| 0:05.7 | tight in friendships and what they mean to me, and I work with Tim Crookshank, the founder |
| 0:13.1 | and CEO of Bone Frog Coffee, a 25-year Navy veteran, Navy SEAL, and you've probably heard |
| 0:18.4 | me say a few times. |
| 0:19.8 | One day, I want you to know the full story about what Tim has gone through as he's been |
| 0:24.7 | launching this startup because Bone Frog is a startup, and thanks to you, it's doing well. |
| 0:31.6 | Thanks to you guys. Today, I want to talk to Tim about something quite different, and in fact, |
| 0:37.8 | we just finished the conversation. Tim is a physician's assistant by trade, Navy SEAL and Navy |
| 0:46.2 | by background, and his wife Liz is stood by his side through all of this, and you're going to hear |
| 0:53.5 | about an amazing woman who is now battling cancer, and it is in a different form of battlefield |
| 1:02.3 | than Tim is used to, but he's taking into this the same faith in God that he took into |
| 1:09.6 | combat. |
| 1:10.6 | That's a great question, Todd. I think it's a mindset. We find ourselves sometimes in combat |
| 1:16.7 | and impossible situations, but I think with God tests us sometimes, he puts us in |
| 1:31.7 | spots, positions, whether it's combat or life or jobs or situations, to test our faith. |
| 1:39.1 | It's a test of faith, and I truly believe that Liz is already cured, that God has cured her, |
| 1:51.0 | but we are going through the process of her healing. It's difficult. |
| 1:58.8 | It's a profound way to view it, and Tim shared with us, I got him to share one combat story. |
| 2:04.3 | He doesn't go tell glory stories, but I got him to share one story about a teammate of his who |
| 2:10.5 | got bumped out of a helicopter. I want you to hear how I think this relates to this struggle |
| 2:16.3 | therein. He also wants you to know that he recognizes his story is not unique. A lot of people are going |
| 2:23.0 | through this, and a lot of people face this circumstance, which is why I reached out to Tim. I reached |
