Individual counseling sessions with warriors is another way the Lord allows people to grow closer to those they love, and to Jesus. In the future, prayerfully, I will be a Family Life Chaplain (licensed Marriage and Family Therapist), then I will be able to have more impact on individuals and families, as I am able to spend more time with them working on their challenges. I will continue to offer hope, as I “nurture the living, care for […]

[…]keep yourself sharp? What would you like God to do in the lives of your new superiors, chain of command, peers, and subordinates? What do you want to trust God for in this new role? As you enter each phase of your leadership journey, I encourage you to take these three looks. Look back on where you’ve been. You’ll be reminded that God was indeed acting as you led—and that He was preparing you for the next assignment on the dream sheet He wrote for your life. Look around at what you’re about to step into—go in with your eyes […]

[…]Corps was not at anyone else’s expense. It was a lesson I have never forgotten. Years later I commanded a company. The unit I received had a well-earned reputation of excellence, but it was also a highly competitive organization. My predecessor had openly fostered a degree of competition that bordered on the combative. This level of competition had enabled the company to achieve great success, but had also created a blatant disrespect for our sister company. Yet, we desperately needed that sister company, because neither company was manned or equipped to function independently. I decided to apply my old Sergeant […]

Regarding readiness, our goals are professional military readiness, physical readiness, and personal/spiritual readiness to carry out our mission anytime, anywhere, on a moment’s notice. We must each prepare ourselves to be the most proficient, most prepared technician and leader to support mission accomplishment in the face of any eventuality. We also must maintain our physical health and level of fitness to ensure we are capable of performing our mission under any circumstances. Finally, and most importantly, we must mentally prepare ourselves […]

[…]on. Taking care of a soldier in marriage and family life should be foremost in a training plan and command philosophy. Giving them the tools, such as a Bible study like this, and establishing an environment to ensure their success is your responsibility as a leader. The military is a family–and for many of us, the only one we have from time-to-time. We must take care of each other to ensure victory on all fronts and remain family strong! A men’s study devoted to sexual integrity can provide your soldiers with the weapons and tactics to win and maintain strong […]

[…]due to the power of intercessory prayer offered by their leader. General Carl Stiner, while commanding the US Special Operations Command, summarized our task: “How well our soldiers perform in combat is directly related to how well we prepare them in peacetime, and only part of this preparation is training related.” The big part, in my mind, is moral, ethical, and spiritual strength. Most soldiers don’t pray. Most young leaders don’t pray. Not until they stand up to put that snap fastener on the anchor line cable do they start to try and get serious, because when they go out […]
