Ed Rush is a former F-18 pilot and five-time bestselling author of books such as "The 21 Day Miracle", "Warrior", and his latest book called "God Talks". He gives an insider look into the inner workings of some of the world's most iconic jet fighters and even comments on the declassified reports on UFOs.

In "God Talks", Rush explores the conversational nature of the personal relationship with God. For the skeptics, the black-and-white rules of religion are just guides, but once a personal relationship develops, it is possible to experiment, ask God questions, and get answers. In Rush's experience, even phenomenally supernatural things are possible after opening up a conversation with God.

Beth King joined the military to provide for her son and became the first female in her company to fully progress to the role of crew chief. One fateful night in Afghanistan, her Chinook was hit by an RPG, throwing her from the helicopter. Her harness caught her, saving her life, but the incident left her with serious injuries that were not immediately apparent to others.

She went 18 months without treatment, only to later discover that she had suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI). As her symptoms worsened, she was eventually medically discharged from the military.

Her injury, compounded by PTSD, anxiety, and depression, led King to isolate herself. Eventually, the Wounded Warrior Project helped renew her sense of community, reigniting her love of sports and, ultimately, her zest for life. Now, it is King's turn to give back, helping other veterans find a sense of purpose as they return to civilian life.
