About The Podcast

After a successful military career that included the liberation of Baghdad in 2003, Marine infantryman Jeremy Stalnecker struggled to find an identity or meaning outside of his military career—and his relationships suffered as a result. But after meeting with fellow vets 10 years later, he realized God had found him a purpose helping hurting veterans through the Mighty Oaks Foundation.

In this podcast, Jeremy talks with Paul Amos about losing one’s identity, regaining it, and finding a life beyond our most traumatic experiences. Trauma may be an indelible part of our past, he explains, but finding purpose and direction in Christ can keep it from controlling us.

Replace the Voices with Verses

Of the 10 years Josh Summers spent as a missionary in western China, the last few months were by far the hardest: Twice he was hauled into jail by Chinese police for interrogation, the second of which lasted 17 days. And as he sat alone in a cold, barren holding cell with nothing, not even his Bible, he tried to take inventory of what scripture he could remember by heart—and realized he didn’t have nearly as much of it down as he thought he did.
