Questions/Issues Discussed:

What is the connection between aviation and the Christian life? What spiritual discipline practices can we implement to keep us steady and on course?

What are the similarities between drifting as a fighter pilot and drifting as a Christian? Are course corrections necessary?

Only 30% of American Protestant Christians attend church weekly and only 32% read the Bible daily. Is this surprising? Is this clear evidence that those who profess a belief in the risen Savior desperately need a course correction?

Is it important for believers to have a mentor – someone they can talk to other than a spouse, close friend, or ever pastor?

What did flying teach Lt. Col. Phil Cochran about failure and correction? Why does he say “failure is not final”?

Which of the 40 devotions found in “Lesson Learned at the Speed of Sound” is Lt. Col. Phil Cochran’s favorite?
