When the mission ends, the questions often begin. Jeremy Stalnecker spent years building his identity around service, leadership, and responsibility as a United States Marine infantry officer. But when combat ended and the uniform came off, Jeremy found himself facing a different kind of battle, one marked by anger, isolation, loss of identity, and a quiet belief that he was completely alone. This episode traces Jeremy's journey from combat leadership to personal collapse, and ultimately to clarity. Through painful self-reflection, accountability, faith, and community, Jeremy discovered that the wounds carried after service are not signs of weakness, they are invitations to heal. His story speaks to anyone who has ever lost their sense of purpose after a major life transition and wondered if hope was still possible. Guest Bio Jeremy Stalnecker is the CEO of the Mighty Oaks Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to helping military service members, veterans, first responders, and their families heal from the unseen wounds of trauma, including PTSD. Raised in San Jacinto, California, Jeremy pursued his lifelong goal of becoming a United States Marine, earning an active-duty commission in 1999 and serving as an infantry platoon commander with 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, 1st Marine Division. In 2003, Jeremy deployed to Kuwait and Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, where his unit breached the berm separating Kuwait and Iraq and helped secure Baghdad. Following his return from combat, Jeremy transitioned into full-time ministry, serving first as an Assistant Pastor at Coastline Baptist Church in Oceanside, California, and later as Senior Pastor of Bay Area Baptist Church in Fremont, California. In 2015, he joined Mighty Oaks full time, uniting his military experience and ministry calling to help others find healing, identity, and purpose after trauma. Jeremy and his wife Susanne are the parents of four children and remain deeply committed to serving those who are hurting.

Why does the church feel so divided? And why do so many people get hurt by it? Rev.

Watch this special teaching of the Book of Habakkuk by Pastor Charles Burkett, Assistant Pastor, Calvary Chapel of the Cumberland Valley. Habakkuk is a short but powerful book that gives voice to honest questions, deep faith, and a confident trust in God—even when circumstances don't make sense. We'll trace the flow of the book, highlight key themes, and see how God meets a questioning prophet with revelation, reassurance, and hope. If you've ever wondered “Lord, what are You doing?”—this study is for you. Come watch and be ready to listen, learn, and be encouraged by God's unchanging faithfulness.

This is the first of a series of 3 conversations I had LIVE at Missions Conference hosted by Revival Church in Modesto, CA. In this episode I am joined by Jonathan Quinones, Assistant Pastor of Revival Church. We talk about the purpose of Missions Conference, what makes it unique, the kind of posture that God blesses, and much more.'Light Needs A Voice' by Adam Hunley - https://www.youtube.com/live/2pNbN1qRrig?si=P1C23FG_0JC371Q7

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval (Romans 14:17-18). Knowing these truths brings about the most intense joy.

Mary welcomes first time guest to the podcast Pastor/Dr. Richard Schmidt to discuss current events. Richard has been an avid student of the Word of God for over 45 years. After giving his life to Christ during a Chicago revival meeting, he immediately immersed himself into evangelism and the study of Scripture, graduating with both a B.S. and M.A. in Pastoral Theology/Christian Education. Early in his ministry, Rich traveled with Evangelist Joe Boyd and preached in various churches and venues, including Chicago's Pacific Garden Mission. Upon college graduation and ordination, Rich and his wife, Valori, moved to Milwaukee, WI to church plant. After the church plant was successfully merged with another, Rich joined the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office to support his young family, while simultaneously serving as an Assistant Pastor. He is currently the pastor of Union Grove Baptist Church just south of Milwaukee and an in-demand speaker. Today we chat about the rampant lawlessness in our nation and how we got here politically and prophetically. We also look at the current peace initiative in Israel, and what are we to expect when there's a victory lap going on, but we all know that Israel's enemies haven't truly had a change of heart. We talk about AI, and its troubling encroachment into Europe. China we expect to be a police state, but why are other nations looking so similar? A full hour with a very sharp brother in Christ.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Join us for a radical and real episode of Calvary Conversations as we welcome our special guest, Pastor Matthew Maher of Landmark Church in Ocean City, NJ. Pastor Maher sits down with our Senior Pastor, Craig Roters, and Assistant Pastor, Morgan Roters, for a deep discussion on one of the most important topics in the Christian life: forgiveness.In this conversation, they dive into some of the most pressing and personal questions believers often wrestle with:• Should we forgive someone even if they never ask for forgiveness?• How many times should I forgive someone?• Does God truly forgive me, even for my deepest sins?Through heartfelt testimonies, biblical teaching, and practical insights, each pastor shares from personal experience what it means to walk in forgiveness and freedom. Together, they point to what Scripture says about the transformative power of God's forgiveness and how it equips us to extend grace to others.Whether you've struggled with forgiving someone who has hurt you, wondered how to deal with guilt and shame, or questioned the depth of God's mercy, this episode will encourage and challenge you to embrace the fullness of God's grace. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to Calvary Conversations for more Christ-centered discussions, testimonies, and biblical truth. “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” – Ephesians 4:32⸻ Resources & Links Matt Maher's Website → www.truthovertrend.com/ Calvary Conversations Website → https://www.calvaryconversations.com Follow us on Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/calvaryorovalley/?hl=en Follow us on Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/calvaryorovalley7/Hashtags:#CalvaryConversations #Forgiveness #MatthewMaher #CraigRoters #MorganRoters #LandmarkChurch #OceanCityNJ #ChristianPodcast #Testimony #BiblicalForgiveness #GodsGrace #Faith #JesusChrist #ChristianLife #GospelTruth
