22 video devotionals recorded during deployment to Kuwait. One soldier. One Bible. One year that changed everything.
The Complete Series
Zach recorded his first video on July 22, 2024 — exactly one year before he was taken from us. What started as a personal faith journey became a gift to everyone who watches. These are his words, his verses, his heart.

"May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word."— 2 Thessalonians 2:16–17
