I trained with the Navy SEALS for a day. This is what I learned

"The only easy day was yesterday." The Navy SEALS mantra was in the forefront of my mind as the black van drove up in front of the hotel. It was 7:00 in the morning when we piled in and headed for the black site where our day of training would begin.

I partner with Pray.com for my Daily Devotions with Rick McDaniel program and my Point of Impact podcast. We had an event the night before in San Diego and they arranged for us to spend the next day training with the Navy SEALS.

When we arrived at the site there was a small building. As we entered, I looked around and on one wall was a sign that read "We don’t call 911," on another wall there was a picture with a quote, "Don’t run because then you’ll just die tired."

At the front there was a plaque with SEAL team patches, the Trident and the Navy SEAL ethos. One part of the ethos really stood out, "I persevere and thrive on adversity. My Nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies."
