Our guest today is Stephen Willeford. Stephen is the Hero of the Sutherland Springs Massacre. On the morning of Sunday, November 5, 2017, Stephen Willeford performed a courageous act of faith and heroism. Alerted by his daughter that a mass shooting was occurring at the neighboring First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, Stephen wasted no time in response. Stephen confronted the murderer without hesitation. His many hours logged at the gun range and his years of experience in gun safety helped prepare him in this response. Though his expert training and practice were used in this decisive moment, Stephen credits his faith in God for keeping him calm and focused throughout this unimaginable situation. 1) We can only hope we would have the courage to act as you did that day Stephen. And we greatly honor that you give the credit to God.

How did this impact your family? 2) Those of us who pay attention to the messaging of Politicians and Media understand the tidal wave of misinformation poured on the average American Citizen every single day.
