Vocal Point-Lt. Col. Phill Cochran

Topic: Spiritual Lessons from a Fighter Jet Pilot.

The Bible helped shape America in a way no other book has. All of the founding fathers knew the Bible well, even “down to their fingertips,” said the late Dr. Donald S. Lutz of the University of Houston, author of the book, The Origins of American Constitutionalism. Christian communicator Adam McManus talks about today and Bible-reading and church-attendance. “Most Christians are guilty of drifting spiritually from their moorings.  Despite their profession of faith in Christ, they’re not regularly reading their Bibles or attending church. Specifically, Gallup documented in 2024: *only 30% of Protestants attend church weekly.

And Lifeway Research revealed that in 2025: *only 32% of Protestants read the Bible daily.” McManus notes that there is a fascinating new devotional that may help. “Lt. Col. Phill Cochran has written a fascinating devotional with 40 spiritual analogies from lessons in the cockpit.” Lt. Col. Phill Cochran, author of Lessons Learned at the Speed of Sound, joins Jerry Newcombe to discuss lessons learned from a fighter pilot. www.cf.life
