Episode 71A - Pastor Stevan Cunningham - After the Storms PART 2
Join Stephanie as she talks with Pastor Stevan Cunningham, author of After the Storms: From Red Dirt to Redemption. He's been a Cavalry Scout, a Police Officer, and a survivor of many storms. But his greatest mission was yet to come.
Life for S.E. Cunningham has always been lived on the frontline. From the terrifying "green skies" of the 1979 Lawton tornado to the oil fires of Iraq and the drug-ravaged streets of Oklahoma, he has spent a lifetime as a protector. But when the uniform came off, and the personal storms of grief and loss hit closer to home, he discovered that even a Scout can lose his way.
In this raw and powerful memoir, you'll see how God:
• Strategically places people to stand when hope seems lost
• Uses the "Scout" mindset to reveal spiritual truths
• Turns broken protectors into vessels of mercy and grace
• Commands a "Divine Setup" that proves He knows your name-even when you're running from Him
This is an urgent call to anyone who has ever felt like they were living in the "dead space" between survival and purpose.
