About this episode

For the second episode of the Fearless ‘Summer Encore’ series, I wanted to feature one of my favorite guests who I get to serve  with while I’m in Alaska with Samaritan’s Purse. 

“Nerves of steel.” That’s how many people described Tammie Jo Shults in 2018 after she landed a Southwest Airlines plane that had lost an engine. But even before that fateful day, Tammie Jo had a fearless faith that took her from a farm in Texas to being one of the US Navy’s first female fighter jet pilots.  

I had the honor of speaking with Tammie Jo as she visited military couples at Samaritan’s Purse’s Operation Heal Our Patriots. Hear how her #fearlessfaith helped her overcome life’s biggest challenges on today’s #FearlessPodcast.
