Summary

In this episode, we welcome Jeremy Stalnecker to the show. He is the Co-Founder and CEO of Mighty Oaks Foundation, an author, speaker, and retired Marine. In the Marine Corps, he was an infantry officer that led troops in combat while deployed in Iraq, and he received a Navy Commendation Medal with “V” for Combat Valor. In this interview, we discuss how training jiu-jitsu with his children has shaped his life, why he chose to go into the United States Marine Corps, the difference between combat and non-combat veterans, if he would join the US military in its current state, how he transitioned from the USMC to full-time ministry, why he helped start Mighty Oaks, the difference between secular military non-profits and explicitly Christian military non-profits, where his moniker of “March or Die” came from, his thoughts on “men’s ministry”, and much more.
