Faith in the Fog of War

What is it like to be a military leader serving the United States of America on foreign soil but at the same time serving the Lord Jesus Christ? All this week on Renewal our host, Dr. Gene Getz, will be talking with Chris Plekenpol, a company tank commander in Iraq who was in charge of 100 men. When one of your men is killed, what was it like to conduct a memorial service--right there in Iraq? Would you risk your life for an enemy who is attempting to take your life? As Chris spent time in Iraq, he began to record his thoughts and feelings in a soldier's journal with stories of triumphs and tragedies in the midst of battle.
