Episode 15 – Ira Sankey and the Confederate Soldier

Most people never even realize how near they come to the experience of death. But there is at least one instance in history where, on a clear moonlit night, the life of a relatively unknown Union soldier was spared only to find out a decade and a half later, that the Great Shepherd had rescued a His lamb from the jaws of certain death.

      Yes it is. When I first decided to do the Forgotten podcast, this was on of the first stories that came to mind. But I wanted to hang on to it till around Christmas. It’s been burning a hole in my brain for a while. 🙂 Thanks so much for listening!

    Thank you for the great story. It seems almost impossible for this to have happened. Only God could have created this.

      Thanks for listening! I believe that we often overlook the miraculous that God does around us. But often when I have looked carefully at history I can clearly see His Fingerprints!
