    About Wingmen:
    Wingmen is a gathering of men with the purpose of forming transparent, Christ-centered, masculine relationships. As Wingmen, we offer men acceptance, affirmation and accountability.
    Wingmen is unique in the fact that it is not an accountability group, bible study, or networking group. It is an entity that emphasizes relationships above all else, relationships with Christ first and foremost and then relationships with other men. Our name, Wingmen, was purposeful in that fact that using military visual pictures/analogies are a powerful tool to bring home the idea of the need for masculine relationships in our lives as we conduct warfare and “spiritual maneuvers” in our daily spiritual battles. We do not dance around sensitive topics - pornography, addictions, over working, and abuse. We are a safe house - a place to get off the front lines and seek a reprieve/respite before jumping back into the battle. Wingmen is a 501C3
    About Chad Williams:
    Having been a featured guest on Fox News Channel, CNN News Room, Anderson Cooper 360, TBN, Daystar, Hour of Power, CBN 700 Club and more; former U.S. Navy SEAL Chad Williams draws on his experience as a combat veteran SEAL to yield an exclusive perspective rooted in teaching of Jesus of Nazareth.
    Prior to entering SEAL training Chad was mentored by U.S. Navy SEAL Scott Helvenston. Just days before Chad headed off to Navy bootcamp, Helvenston took a brisk opportunity to serve his country once again in Iraq.
    Shortly thereafter, Chad turned on a television one morning to learn first hand how precious and costly freedom is as his eyes met a screen that portrayed a smiling still image of his mentor followed by Scott's birthdate separated by a dash March 31, 2004. What immediately followed was graphic video footage of Helvenston being mutilated and dragged through the streets of Fallujah, Iraq. Finally he was hung upside-down from the Euphrates River Bridge while an enraged Iraqi mob repeatedly chanted in Arabic, “Fallujah is the graveyard of Americans” and set him on fire.
    Steeled in his resolve to walk in his Helvenston's footsteps and become a SEAL in honor and memory of his good friend, Chad entered the military's most grueling and difficult training known as BUD/S. BUD/S Class 254 started out with 173 sailors vowing they would die before they ever quit the rigorous training (which requires ringing a brass bell three times and surrendering their class helmet on the asphalt grinder). By graduation day there would only be 13 of those original sailors still standing there and Chad was among them.
    Serving his country proudly as a Navy SEAL, on Teams One and Seven, Chad came into contact with the horrors of war first hand, even fighting his way alongside his Team through a premeditated ambush in Iraq, near the location that took Helvenston's life in a similar scenario.
    Today Chad is the author of SEAL of God and an in demand guest speaker, taking the principles and ethos learned as a U.S. Navy SEAL to better communicate the Gospel. As a gifted evangelist, Chad's message is captivating and eye-opening as he relates to the audience the price of freedom that was not only paid for in the blood of our soldiers on battlefield but most importantly the blood of our Savior at the cross of Calvary.

      My faith is in God. I refuse to blame God for any misfortunes in my life.
      I know ultimately God is in control.
      I wish people would stop blaming God for the choices that they have made in life.
      When life doesn't turn out how they want. These same people use excuses to justify their broken state.
      Hell was made for the devil.
      All who rejects Jesus as Lord will go to hell.
      Question: Why do some people think that they can live life on earth anyway they chose?
      So you mean to tell me that if you chose to reject God you deserve to go to Heaven?
      That way of thinking doesn't make any sense to me.
      What about the Christian that are being murder because of their faith in God.
      What about the Christian that are being monitored every day.
      Cars pulling up in front our home.
      Witches walking up and down the sidewalks in our neighborhoods.
      Individuals looking for any reason to call Christians hypocrites.
      If you are a witch, warlock a messenger or servant of the devil.
      You cannot curse! What God has blessed.
      In Jesus Name.
      You can't.
      I speak this right one time Word for every believer in Christ Jesus.
      The bible say that a righteous man falls seven times and and rises up again a wicked man falls into mischief. Proverbs 24:16
      Don't let anyone make you feel guilty about any sins you have repented of before God.
      You will have haters.
      You will also have people that satan will send in your life.
      These people are time waster and density blockers.
      They are trying there best to make you lose focus about what God has called you to do on earth.
      This people will also talk about God but their hearts are far from him.
      Don't fall for this trick of the enemy.
      Rebuke those evil ungodly familiar spirits.
      Asked the Holy Spirit to continue to lead and guide you into all truth so that you may live a righteous life before God and man.
      This WORD is for someone.
      God knows what you are going through and you are not alone.
      May God continue to speak to your heart. When your mind is stayed on Jesus he will keep you in perfect peace.

      JDCPA80 Nobody else needs to be 'there for you'. The world doesn't care about you or how you feel. You're an insignificant drop in the ocean, same as me, same as everyone else. The biggest lie that you can tell yourself is that you actually matter. If you died today, the world wouldn't end, it would be business as usual.
      This may seem harsh, but it's just the sad facts of life. I don't see these facts as a reason to be sad though, I see them as a source of empowerment. Yeah so what if there's no one looking out for me, I'll just get shit done myself. So what if me dying isn't going to bring the world to its knees, I'll just do everything in my power to make sure that I make as much of an impact on this world as possible whilst I'm alive, and I don't need some guy up in the sky to help me do it either.
      You're entitled to your own opinion though and I respect that, just remember that I don't need you to feel sorry for me, I don't need your pity. If anything save your pity for those who are too weak to stand on their own and instead have to use God as their crutch.

      weejams Perserverance in faith- disconnecting, reconnecting, I am of the opinion that the most difficult obstacle for those who are endowed with intelligence, capability, self awareness, those that can see reality....the most difficult obstacle for you, for me, is creating patience in our mind, an area of our mind that is inhabited with pride from the day we are born. That being said, I also believe the epiphany you will experience will be nothing you can imagine. When you find rock bottom, you're going to keep digging because we pack a shovel when we go there. When you find the most bitter darkness, you'll see the obvious choice, and perseverance will deliver you into your authentic self.

      Did you ever consider that it was and is YOU, who gets you through the struggle. We are capable of overcoming anything. God is simply a higher power that exists within your own mind. Jesus is simply a figure you thank when really... its you. I appreciate the notion but there is no proof of an afterlife. you get one life. After that you are buried and in turn, provide life to the earth. God is a myth, religion is a myth. Human kind is the answer. All of us. United. Without creed or belief but with FACTS and determination.

    26:20 "One of the loneliest moments a man will ever experience is when he has achieved that which he thought would deliver the ultimate and in the end it lets him down."
    41:10 "If you drink of his living water, you will never thirst again."
    46:10 "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."
    47:05 "In the worst of conditions I will rely on the legacy of those who have come before me to steady my resolve and guide my every deed."

    Chad, when you started to speak of Scott and his accomplishments I got some serious chills. Again when you spoke of his heart. You can picture what kind of man it would take to graduate SEAL training by 17 all despite growing up in foster care and bouncing from home to home, but few of us ever really know anyone of this caliber. What a legend man... I'm sure he lives on through many stories just like this one. Thank you very much Sir for your service!

When he talked about Mike Monsoor jumping on that grenade, I immediately related it to Jesus absorbing the sin of the world so that we could be saved. I've been a believer for years but his explanation of Jesus being our Lord and what that means hit me hard. We are in a spiritual battle for our souls and I pray that the people that see this video don't just take it as a "good story." Thank you Chad for your continuing service and spreading the Gospel of our Lord and Savior.
