From capturing Saddam Hussein to delivering the Bible to the most remote corners of the earth—this is a conversation about leadership, courage, and calling.

In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I speak with Steve Russell, the President & CEO of JAARS, a former U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel and former Congressman—to explore how logistics, faith and leadership intersect in both military and global missions operations.
