He recounts his time serving as a patrol officer during The Troubles (also known as the Northern Ireland Conflict), openly sharing about his battle with PTSD and how he became a born-again follower of Christ in his mid-fifties. Still living in the UK, this army veteran is a faithful member of New Life Church in Billingham, where he testifies to having found his place building God’s Kingdom through the structure, accountability, and support of his local church.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/w4UhX4P144edvrrxy5CThElh0x5q3WxYBE4_F_VA7_A/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84YjBi/OGRmYWVhMWFlMWQx/YTgxMzEwZWQwMDZj/ZTVmNC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
