Ben Peterson

Ben Peterson brings hardwon authority to this conversation. He served in Iraq during the 2008–2009 Surge as a Chaplain’s Assistant, losing seven brothers in combat during his first week deployed. Carrying trauma, addiction and deep brokenness, he turned to God and emerged with a mission that has now reached more than 300,000 service members, veterans and families through his organization, Engage Your Destiny, which organized the largest Gospel outreach to veterans in American history. He has trained and spoken to the most elite units in the U.S. military, including the 101st Airborne, the 75th Ranger Battalion, Navy SEALs and multiple Special Forces Groups.

His current adversary is AI and his new mission is to ensure that the generation being shaped by machines finds the one voice no machine can replicate: the voice of God.
