Part of IFP: Profession module
What parables has God given to you through the simple circumstances of your life that you can share with others? Too often Christians do not share with others what God is teaching them and doing in their lives, things that can encourage other believers and make them sensitive to God’s moving in the world—and even in their own lives.
How do others see you fulfilling your dual commissions? Do they see a leader who cares for them with the heart of Jesus, who is humble, grace-filled and selfless, and who ultimately serves the One and only Lord? As you serve your nation and serve your Lord, you will have ample opportunities to shine the Light of Christ through your love and service to others.
Congratulations to the OCF Class of 2012! We who have gone before welcome you to the profession of arms and the start of your great race the Lord has set before you.

How might the Christian leader apply the lesson of Ananias and Sapphira to the work place?
So how do you become a hero--or at least a good leader?
Become a person who influences others for Christ.
Jesus has called us to take a stand in such a time as this. Laying low, and compromising are outside of our calling.
We cannot allow ourselves to be defeated by perceptions that Christian activities will not be tolerated in the military.
How do you stand up for Christ without standing on someone's foot?
With the ability of the media to reach out to all corners of the globe and to report on the conduct, or misconduct, of soldiers, leaders have an even greater responsibility than ever to demonstrate what right looks like.
You are commissioned to do the Lord's work as professional military servants.
To be successful as a junior leader at your first unit, here are six core elements to consider.
What should cadets expect from OCF during an Air Force career?
"Rotcy" opened the door to the most potent educational experience of my life.
