Scott Galuska is a former Green Beret who lived through hell: firefights, grenade blasts, the trauma of combat, and the devastating loss of his brothers in arms. But what shocked him more than the bullets or explosions… was the mercy of God that met him in the middle of it all.

In this powerful episode, Scott opens up about the battles he fought both on and off the battlefield - his fear of dying without the sacraments, the miraculous protection he experienced in combat, and the slow, steady pull back to the heart of the Church.

Timestamps:

15:25 – Broke his leg parachuting—taped it up and kept going.

24:18 – First firefight: “I just ran toward the bullets.”

32:57 – A grenade explodes 10 feet away. Shrapnel hits. No wound.

55:35 – Watching his best friend die—from the base.

1:04:00 – How Eucharistic Adoration began to heal him. 1:08:46 – His message to anyone in the dark: Don’t quit.

If you’ve ever wondered where God is in the middle of suffering… this one’s for you.
