Welcome to Inside the Epicenter! In this extraordinary episode, host Joel Rosenberg takes you behind the scenes of what he calls "the miracle in the mountains" — one of the most dramatic, complex, and miraculous military rescue operations in American history. On Good Friday, April 3rd, an F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down by Iranian surface-to-air missiles deep inside enemy territory during Operation Epic Fury. While the pilot was rescued relatively quickly, the Weapons Systems Officer (WSO) found himself wounded, alone, hunted, and deep behind enemy lines. What unfolded over the next 36 hours — involving the CIA, U.S. Special Forces, downed helicopters, two destroyed $100 million aircraft, and the brave faith of one American airman — is nothing short of breathtaking. And when the WSO was finally rescued, his first message said it all: God is good. Shot down on Good Friday, hidden in a cave on Saturday, and rescued as the sun rose on Easter Sunday — this is a story of survival, faith, and divine providence you won't forget. (06:45) What is Inside the Epicenter and the Joshua Fund?

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners." Prayer Requests: Pray with deep gratitude for the two American airmen who are now home and accounted for. Thank God for His miraculous hand of protection over their lives and pray for their full physical and emotional recovery, and for their families who endured those agonizing hours of waiting. Pray for the success and swift conclusion of Operation Epic Fury. Ask God to grant the U.S. and Israeli forces the clarity, courage, and capability to achieve a complete and decisive victory — neutralizing Iran's nuclear program, its ballistic missile capabilities, and its ability to project terror against Israel, America, and our allies. Pray for the people of Iran — for their spiritual liberation and political freedom. Ask God to bring down the wicked, 47-year-old regime of the Ayatollahs and open the door for a moderate, peaceful, pro-Western leadership. Pray especially that the gospel would advance among the Iranian people and that millions would come to know Jesus in this historic moment.
