EXCERPTS:

West served 21 years in the United States Army from 1983-2004, where he deployed for Operation Desert Storm Shield and Operation Desert Storm. Following his retirement, he was elected to the House of Representatives for the 22nd District of Florida, serving from 2011-13. He was the Texas GOP chairman from 2021-22.

Going through the verses that have emboldened him to proclaim the victory of Jesus Christ in a world that needs it, West pointed to examples in his own life as an Army colonel that have shown him to praise God in the trials and tribulations because it builds perseverance.

West questioned why it’s not hard for people to understand how physical exertion in our personal fitness make us stronger, however when it comes to spiritual fitness, people often choose “the easy way.”

I would like to see a debate between Col. West and Cornel West.

Colonel and Cornel would talk right past each other until they were as far as east is from West.

They’re from different galaxies.

It’s a funny, ironic thought, though.
