Series: Kingdom People in the Pages of History (Robert Timberg’s The Nightingale’s Song)
Length: ~49:41 • Date: Dec 16, 2025 • Host: Matt “The Great Matt Gibe” Geib
In this installment, Matt steps into the life of Robert “Bud” McFarlane—Marine officer, strategist, and National Security Advisor (1983–1985)—as portrayed in The Nightingale’s Song. Through a story-driven opening set in the West Wing, the episode explores what happens when duty becomes a crushing burden, when loyalty drifts from truth, and when isolation turns a “quiet leader” into a “lone ranger.” Along the way, Matt weaves in Scripture to highlight wisdom, counsel, community, and God’s restoring grace—ending with a pastoral prayer for Washington State amid severe storms and flooding.
- A vivid scene: McFarlane alone in the West Wing—Lebanon, Iran, hostages, and impossible decisions on his desk
- McFarlane’s formation: Vietnam, leadership under pressure, and the loneliness of command
- Iran-Contra’s moral fault line: “ends justify the means” reasoning and its spiritual cost
- A core Kingdom warning: good people can make harmful decisions when isolated
- The healing arc: shame, collapse, a suicide attempt, survival, humility, and later reflection
- A powerful metaphor: electricity as “silent power” — leadership volume vs. leadership power
- Final applications for quiet leaders: boundaries, counsel, accountability, and grace
