Fatherless to Father of Eight | Green Beret Eric Wehmeyer on Faith, Wounds & Redemption

Description

Green Beret. Father of eight. 21 years married. Eric Wehmeyer's first memory is watching his dad drive away at age five — and everything that followed was a search for what a man is supposed to be. He chased that answer into the Army, then into Special Forces, earning his Green Beret and serving on missions that took him from Afghanistan to Iraq to a dinner table beside the Sultan of Oman. But the real war was always internal. In this episode, Eric opens up about growing up fatherless and what that absence actually costs a son, the Army major in a war zone chow hall who told him the Holy Spirit sent him to be his mentor, an addiction that started at age ten and the wife who responded with grace instead of shame, the financial collapse after leaving the military that brought him to his knees, and the faith that rebuilt everything. Today Eric is a husband of 21 years, a father of eight children, a serial entrepreneur, and a man on mission to help others find what he spent years searching for. This one goes deep. Don't skip it.
