Don’t Quit!
Several events this week reminded me of something that I have always known to be…
Jeremy Stalnecker
Jeremy Stalnecker is the Executive Director of the Mighty Oaks Foundation which is dedicated to helping America’s military warriors and their families who are suffering from the unseen wounds of combat.
While growing up Jeremy’s only goal was to leave home and join the Marine Corps. This dream was finally realized with an active duty commission in 1999 which opened the door to serve as a Marine Infantry Officer during the opening days of the war in Iraq.
One month after returning from Iraq, Jeremy entered full-time ministry and eventually accepted a senior pastor role. He later accepted a full-time position with the Mighty Oaks Foundation which brought together his ministry and military experience in a way that allows him to minister to hurting veterans, service members and their families. Along with his wife and their four children, Jeremy works to reach the hurting and provide healing found in Christ.

Compliance is a Choice
One of the many lessons that I have learned over the last few months is this:
Compliance is a Choice.
I don’t say this to make a statement about whether or not you SHOULD comply, but rather to make a statement about how you FEEL when you make the decision to comply.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE-NOW GO AWAY
It is time that we stop paying lip service to the sacrifices of those who have made America great and begin to honor those sacrifices by once again getting out of the way of those unalienable rights of “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” To do so is the only path forward. Anything less will crush the very people we seek to protect.
A Mind to Grow
The group of people who have a “mind to grow” is a very small group. The world is made up of those who live to walk the path of least resistence. But for the ones who are willing to grow and learn and lead, there is a world waiting to be discovered and a life worth living!

Our world needs this more than ever right now. To those that have, against all odds, moved forward at a moment in time unlike any our country has experienced, thank you for showing us the way. To those still waiting, it is time to get up, move forward, and take others with you!
Leadership lessons from a global pandemic- #4 Personal Preparation Equips Leaders to Lead
Leaders do the hard work of preparing personally so that they are free to help others during life’s most critical moments.
Leadership Lessons from a Global Pandemic- #3 Consider All Realities
Experts only focus on their reality (the very narrow field of their expertise) but leaders must consider ALL realities. This does not mean that the expert creates conflict; what he creates is the need for leadership!
Leadership Lessons From a Global Pandemic- #2 We need both Hope and Truth
When you lead with both the truth of what is and the hope of what will be, people want to follow. We are currently seeing what happens when leaders fail to understand this most basic principle. If we will learn from the bad examples as well as the good, however, we will be prepared to lead with BOTH hope and truth when the next crisis comes.
Leadership Lessons from a Global Pandemic- #1 Never Stop Learning
All examples, good or bad, provide lessons that can be learned to lead through the next crisis. Who are you watching, what are you learning, and how will you apply what you are learning in your life? No event is a wasted event unless we fail to learn.
