Suffering doesn’t happen to you; it happens for you. For Navy SEAL Bradley Geary and his wife, Amy, this was the hallmark of a quarter-century in the military.
In Hard Mind, Soft Heart, this faith-filled, unyieldingly strong couple share the struggles, failures, sacrifices, and growth that shaped their journey from the start of SEAL training through senior levels of naval leadership. War, separation, adversity, and loss provoked suffering that produced character in ways they never anticipated. From the depths of the sea to the summits of Afghanistan, their experiences built resiliency they would need for their biggest battle yet: an unexpected ethical and legal fight against the very institution that forged them.
Their faith taught them love. The navy instilled a sense of duty to country. The SEAL Teams fomented a relentless fighting spirit. They would need all three for the conflict they would face—and win—as a family.
This is a story of what happens when the lessons learned in war are tested in a different arena and when a family chooses to stand together against insurmountable odds, regardless of the cost. In it, those who suffer will find solidarity. Leaders will find hard-earned lessons. Families will find love, resilience, and hope. And truth-seekers will find Jesus.
Don’t waste your suffering.
