How can God use a trained killer?

Growing up, Jon Cobb always wanted to be a protector. He’s just one of those guys who are naturally very empathetic. However, sometimes empathy came in conflict with the jobs he’d be working.

Not to mention, being compassionate and working in dark places made Jon angry at God. But he always processed his anger with God by talking to God. It’s amazing what good communication… especially prayer… can achieve!

So, over the course of Jon’s life, he has continued that conversation, asking God how God would use a guy like him.

I mean… how can God use a trained killer?

Here are just a few of the things Jon and I discuss:

Jon’s Favorite bible verses:
- For the Lordyour God is living among you.
      He is a mighty savior.
  He will take delight in you with gladness.
      With his love, he will calm all your fears.
      He will rejoice over you with joyful songs. (Zephaniah 3:17)
- Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
  and make me willing to obey you. (Psalm 51:12)
