Built by Fire – Chapter 4: The Call to Serve (Audiobook)
In Chapter 4 of Built by Fire, David shares how the quiet pull to serve shaped his path from restless teenager to rescuer, soldier, and servant leader.
Surrounded by veterans and stories of quiet heroism, David felt the call to step into chaos so others could find peace. From childhood memories of neighbors changed by war to standing under the California sun at Camp Pendleton, this chapter explores what it means to stand in the gap, to carry hope, and to honor the legacy of those who served before.
The call to serve is more than duty—it is becoming something bigger than yourself.
Listen now and discover how service shapes us, often long before we know we are standing in the fire.
