Ben Peterson is a Jesus Follower, husband, father, and combat veteran. He believes with everything in his soul that nothing is impossible for those who have faith. 

 

Ben served in Iraq during the surge in 2008-2009. He lost 7 of his brothers in combat, experienced the fallout of suicide bombers at a local school, daily mortar attacks, and held the position of a Chaplains assistant to perform the duties of a personal security detail to the Chaplain. 

 

In 2016 Ben founded Engage Your Destiny a nonprofit ministry that exists to engage with military, veterans and their families to lead them into their destiny. EYD creates events that engage with our heroes where they’re at and then leads them into programs which will resource them mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.

 

Out of this work in 2020, during the height of Covid, Ben birthed the Heroes Honor Festival which took place at the Daytona International Speedway with Toby Keith, Justin Moore, Craig Morgan, Ron Desantis, Oliver North and hosted over 35,000 attendees. Through the event 1200 veterans were led into healing programs to resource and restore them.
