Eddie Penney joins the Shawn Ryan Show to give you his firsthand account of once being scared of Jesus, what he referred to as the boogeyman, to becoming a true warrior of Christ. Eddie served as a United States Marine to later becoming a U.S. Navy SEAL and joining the Elite SEAL Team 6. Eddie has seen the worst of evil and even became addicted to taking the evil off this planet.
A chapter in his new book, Unafraid, titled “kill addict” describes his desires of taking the fight to the enemy. Eddie has weathered the storm and has faced many challenges along his journey while serving at DEVGRU. One of the biggest loss that occurred from his Squadron at Gold was Extortion 17. This is a true story of a man who surrendered his life to God after a life at war.
Having been raised by a high ranking Navy SEAL & Duke Masters Graduate, the experience was awesome. Dad, was the greatest, most disciplined, gracious, intelligent, kindest, loved, appreciated, gifted man I’ve ever known or ever will know. He passed deer hunting in Pennsylvania, with the president of Penn State with a sudden stroke and was flown home in a body bag making for a bad holiday season.
Out of this most horrible experience I was honored & privileged to preach to around 1000 attending his funeral. He was highly favored and loved.
One day while walking with the governor down at Atlantic Beach, to his jet helicopter he shared how I was from the best of stock. This was the impression Dad made on everyone he met. He was the ultimate officer and gentleman and the last of his caliber and breed.
He did not have any tattoos; he was very quiet, reserve, disciplined and always in calm, quiet control.
