And REAL talk like this is why I’ve been watching for years. Mover has never sought a pity party….but I thank Mover for sharing his real life struggles… from the loss of his parents. To the struggles of his brother. To career knock downs. To puppy sadness. Loss of friends. Nobody has it perfect-Mover and guests keep the variety of life’s challenges SOLIDLY REAL . We all get them and/or have them. GOD Bless 🇺🇸

Powerful...best Mover and Gonky Show yet...
Thank you Beloved Warriors...we'll (more important, He'll) Never Forget...

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 NASB1995‬ [9] And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. [10] Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong. 🙌🏼❤️‍🔥 JESUS!!🕊️🙌🏼

Thank you guys for this channel. I've mentioned in the comments before that my husband was a flight rated B52 crew chief and he served in Vietnam. He passed away last night and while it wasn't how we planned for things to end I'm grateful for the time that we had together. He was a wonderful husband and I will never forget him or the 20+ years we shared. He was a great guy, a great dad; a kind human being and was devoted to his duty. I will miss him.

Humble civilian cessna driver here....I stumbled across this pod while looking for bush flying content. I've been trying to record three things for which I am grateful since viewing this. It's been about a week. I have to tell you, something is 'different'. I can't put a finger on it, but something is different. Thanks for this.

Thank you. I am going to try this. I have heard the advice before but Shawn described how it works and why.
Bought a tee to support your channel and I have to say shipping internationally was very reasonable. Get some merch everyone. ❤

The pic of the KC-10 on the ramp at the start reminds me of a late afternoon in UAE.

I had a wise and caring church elder who once told me: "If you help your brother pull his boat to shore, you reach the shore too!"

Am I the only one that just realized that Gonky is hanging out in a RV?

What was Shawn’s illness or is he not at liberty to say?
