Episode 122! Joining me in the studio today is my guest, SSG Aaron Hale. Aaron is a 14-year veteran of both the US Navy, where he was a cook and chef to admirals and dignitaries while he sailed in the Mediterranean, and the US Army, where he was an Explosive Ordinance Demolition tech finding, and diffusing or disposing of enemy bombs before they could harm US or Allied service members. While deployed in Afghanistan in December of 2011, an explosion of an undetected secondary bomb took Aaron's eyesight, and later his hearing, and plunged his world into darkness, changing his life forever. Lying in a hospital bed, Aaron only thought of “I can't”, until someone came into his room and asked him if he wanted to go for a bike ride! Aaron started asking “how is this happening FOR me?” and “HOW can I?” instead of asking “WHY is this happening TO me?”, as he recognized that the biggest limitations we have are the limitations we put on ourselves in our minds. Aaron has since run ultra-marathons, skydived, climbed mountains, got married, had 4 kids, including twins, become an entrepreneur, started businesses and invested in real estate. He's also a speaker and a top-rated podcast host of the “Point of Impact Podcast”. It was an honor to have Aaron spend time sharing how he is now striving to inspire others to make the positive habit shifts that help them realize the success that is within their reach and closer than they imagine.

What is the gospel? A common word, inside and outside of the church, but it's not the easiest to define. Many Christians might say that the gospel is the most important thing to them, but if pressed to clearly explain it, it'd be an uphill climb. This week, we are going to identify a clear definition of the gospel, some real life barriers to sharing it with others and some resources for sharing it clearly. In this sermon, Aaron mentions The Everyday Gospel. If you need a helpful resource to share your faith, you'll find this workbook is a great choice for you. For deeper definitions of The Kingdom of God and The Gospel, here are some helpful videos. NT WrightThe Bible ProjectSupport the Show.

Aaron Hale is a former Navy chef and Army EOD team leader turned motivational speaker and entrepreneur, overcoming blindness and deafness to found the chocolate company Extra Ordinary Delights. In this episode, host Larry interviews guest Aaron Hale who shares his powerful story of resilience and overcoming the odds. Aaron Hale reflects on his journey from being an all-American slacker to facing challenges in college and gaining the "Freshman 50." Determined to find his purpose, he turned to cooking, a passion he had since childhood. From being a Navy cook to becoming an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) technician. Aaron's journey is one of determination, adaptability, and a desire to serve their country in the best way possible. Aaron Hale's journey begins with a comfortable job in the military. He enjoys the perks and safety that come with his position, and for a while, it feels like a cushy gig. However, he soon realizes that he craves something more. He wants to serve a greater purpose and be on the front lines of danger. Another factor that contributes to Aaron Hale's decision to transition from comfort to danger is the nature of his job as a Navy cook. The Navy views cooks as the military equivalent of hotel restaurant management. Their duties often involve working in dining facilities on bases or in barracks, which can be mundane and unchallenging. Aaron's placement as a night clerk at the front desk of the bachelor quarters during his shore duty further reinforces his desire for something more stimulating. Aaron's motivation to serve others and make a positive impact also drives his transition from comfort to danger. He believes that by doing his best for others, he can lead a more fulfilling life. This mindset aligns with his desire to contribute and do something greater than himself. Additionally, Aaron Hale admits that it's also fun to blow things up, highlighting his adventurous spirit and willingness to embrace the excitement and challenges that come with being an EOD technician. www.thedadedge.com/455 www.thedadedge.com/alliance www.EODfudge.com
