Twenty-five years ago, at 8:46 a.m. Eastern Time, America changed forever.On September 11, 2001, I was in my mid-twenties, working at a manufacturing plant in Illinois. Someone told me a plane had hit the World Trade Center, and I rushed to the break room.Then I watched the second plane strike live on television.In that moment, I knew America was under attack.I remember the anger. The fear. The chaos. Gas stations running out of fuel. People wondering what would happen next.But I also remember something I have rarely seen since.We came together.Political labels mattered less. Churches filled. People prayed. Flags appeared everywhere. Americans asked one another a simple question:“What can I do?”I didn't have much money at the time, but I was proud to contribute to coworkers who were driving water from Illinois to New York for first responders and people who were suffering.It felt patriotic.It felt like we were one country.In this special 25th anniversary episode, released at the precise moment the first tower was struck, I reflect on what I saw, what I felt, the desire I had to serve, the people we lost, and the unity I pray we never need another tragedy to rediscover.We remember the people.We remember the courage.We remember the sacrifice.And we remember who we became afterward.Psalm 46:1:“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”May God comfort those who still grieve.May God protect those who serve.May God bring us closer together.And may God bless the United States of America.We will never forget.#September11 #NeverForget #911Anniversary #PatriotDay #September11th #GodBlessAmerica #Remember911 #Faith #ChristianPodcast #FirstResponders #AmericanHeroes #UnitedWeStand #Psalm46 #HonorTheFallen #SummitAfterTheStorm
