Many people know Christian because of his heroics in moments of incredible pressure, but that morning, Pastor Matt will sit down with him to talk about the story behind the story, his faith, his life, and what God has done through it all.

Christian became widely known for his actions during the 2019 terrorist attack at a hotel complex in Nairobi, where he entered the scene and helped rescue civilians trapped inside. It’s a powerful part of his story, but even more compelling is the faith and character behind it.

Christian Craighead is a former British Special Air Service (SAS) operator from Newcastle, England. He joined the British Army at 16 and served through the Parachute Regiment and Pathfinder Platoon before being selected into the elite 22 SAS.
His military service included deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, where he developed expertise in hostage rescue, direct action, and counter terrorism operations.
Christian became internationally known for his actions during the January 2019 terrorist attack at the DusitD2 hotel complex in Nairobi, Kenya. He responded to the attack ahead of reinforcements, helped neutralize terrorists, cleared areas of the building, and guided hundreds of people to safety.
For his extraordinary bravery, Christian was awarded the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross, one of the United Kingdom's highest honors for courage.
