“If you don’t have fear of the Lord, you’re going to fear everything else. If you fear the Lord, you will fear nothing else.”

BE FEARLESS

Your life and story left a Giant wave of people that have turned to God in their times of trouble and trusted in him that He will pull them through.

12 years ago today, Adam Brown was doing what he loved, fighting beside his brothers to rid this world of evil. Adam was a warrior, in every sense of the word. The adversity and challenges that Adam faced, just to get into the military, would have stopped the vast majority of people in their tracks. Not Adam.

Adam accepted the challenges that life threw at him and faced them head on. From getting into the Navy, earning his Trident, becoming a sniper and eventually a member of the most elite unit on the planet, Adam never backed down from a challenge. He truly was FEARLESS.

If you have not read FEARLESS, I highly recommend doing so. It is a book about Adam’s life, written from his teammates’ perspective. It is mandatory reading at Dynamis and I urge all of you to read it.

This was one of Adam’s favorite quotes and I think of it often...

“Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and preserved body, but rather to skid in broad side thoroughly used up totally worn out and loudly proclaiming wow, what a ride.”

Rest easy brother.
