Built by Fire - Chapter 23: Lessons From The Fire (Audiobook)
Lessons From The Fire is a distilled collection of hard-won truths forged in the heat of missions, failures, victories, grief, and service. David Burnell shares what the flames taught him about courage, faith, brotherhood, family, and living with purpose in a world that will test you. The fire is inevitable, but it can refine you if you let it.
This chapter is a call to step through the flames, not just survive them. It’s a reminder that legacy is built by how we live in the hardest moments, how we lift others even when we feel heavy, and how we hold faith when everything else feels uncertain. If you take anything from this chapter, let it be this: you were built by fire, and the fire is not your end—it is your forge.
