In this interview with The New American magazine’s Alex Newman, Col. David Giammona (ret.) explains how what he learned in the military about courage, combat, and readiness can be applied by Christians during the tough times ahead. In a new book co-written with internationally known journalist Troy Anderson, Col. Giammona urges everyone to be prepared spiritually and physically. Pastors need to speak out, as freedom is on the verge of being lost, he said. However, Christians should be encouraged by the Word of God, because the End Times are here. He also gives insight into spiritual warfare.
