## Resource

In this inspiring episode of I Am Refocused Radio, host Shemaiah Reed sits down with Lt. Col. Phill Cochran, USAF (Ret.), author of Lessons Learned at the Speed of Sound: A Fighter Pilot’s Lessons on Faith, Discipline, and Trust. Lt. Col. Cochran brings a powerful perspective shaped by more than two decades of military aviation, including flying and instructing in the F-16, along with 23 years of pastoral ministry. In this conversation, he shares how the cockpit became a classroom and how the pressures of flight, discipline, focus, trust, and endurance reveal deeper lessons for life and faith. From the speed of sound to the quiet battles of the heart, this interview explores what it means to stay steady under pressure, trust God through uncertainty, recover after failure, and live with purpose when life demands courage. Whether you are a veteran, leader, believer, aviation enthusiast, or someone seeking strength for the next chapter, this conversation will challenge you to fly higher, live deeper, and stay focused on what truly matters.
