What happens when your faith is tested in the crucible of combat? Greg Crosby discovered this firsthand during his three years in Iraq and Afghanistan, where he learned that indeed, "there are no atheists in foxholes."
Greg shares how his spiritual foundation was laid by a mother who embodied Christ's love and a father who served in Vietnam. When facing his own deployment with a disorganized unit in 2004, Greg found himself punching the dashboard of his Humvee, questioning God's plan. In that moment of fear and anger, he remembered his mother's favorite scripture - Psalm 91:11. Writing those words across his visor transformed not just his combat experience, but his entire understanding of faith.
The parallels between military strategy and spiritual warfare become strikingly clear as Greg explains how Satan, like any enemy combatant, looks for soft targets - the complacent, unprepared, and vulnerable. "The enemy knows what new looks like. They know what lazy looks like. They know what complacency looks like." His military training gave him exceptional insight into spiritual battles that continue to serve him today.
Perhaps most powerful is Greg's testimony about losing close friends in combat, including Army Sgt. Cari Anne Gasiewicz, after whom his daughter is named. This loss taught him hard but transformative lessons about God's sovereignty. When facing possible death himself, the Holy Spirit asked, "Do you think I can take better care of your family than you?" That question liberated him from fear in a way that continues to shape his faith today.
Greg's answer to getting the hell out of your life? "Don't let it in." When we truly understand God's providence and protection, we can face any battle with confidence, knowing the war's outcome is already decided.
