After meeting a little girl in a local café who needed a lifesaving heart surgery, Jeremy and Jessica Courtney ventured into a life of service for which they were totally unprepared.For over 15 years, Jeremy has worked alongside local peacemakers in some of the world's most dangerous conflict zones. His "preemptive love" theory of change has taken him and the HUMANITE founders to the frontlines of revolution and war in Fallujah, Mosul, Damascus, Aleppo, Cairo, Khartoum, and beyond to serve those in need and meet with top leaders, warlords, and terrorists about the rise and fall of peace. Jeremy's work has been covered by CNN, the BBC, Al-Jazeerah, The New York Times, and The Washington Post.From Pres. Jimmy Carter's Human Rights Defenders Forum, to the International Peace Conference for the Korean Peninsula, to the World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates, Jeremy has had the honor of sharing the stage with changemakers from across the globe.Love Anyway, Jeremy's second book, was released to popular acclaim in 2019, with NYT-bestselling authors calling it "beautifully written", "a must-read", and "deeply subversive."Jeremy lives in Iraq with his wife Jessica and their children, Emma and Micah.

Last week, we aired an interview with Jeremy Courtney, who along with his wife Jessica, founded the charitable organization Preemptive Love. We had a lot to say about the controversy surrounding the Courtney's dismissal from the charity that they had spent well over a decade building, but we thought it best to let people hear from Jeremy, first. This week, we got together with Jeremiah to discuss the accusations made against them, the tone and inflection of the articles written by two former employees, the preemptive critiques of Humanite (a new project that has only just launched and is already under assault), and final thoughts on what this mess says about the people involved, both directly and indirectly. This conversation might ruffle some feathers, but it needs to be had. The callous, enthusiastic way in which we discard imperfect people who have done so much good is infuriating. The Courtneys aren't perfect, but they've been in the field helping save lives and build communities for a long time. We think they deserved better than they got. Here are the articles we discuss:   “Preemptive Love: What Happens When a Charity Runs More Like a Cult” by Ben Irwin “Jeremy and Jessica Courtney's misconduct at Preemptive Love, documented” by Ben Irwin “A Donor's Guide to Preemptive Love's Financial Statements” by Ben Irwin “What you should know about Humanite, Jeremy and Jessica Courtney's new organization” by Ben Irwin “An Open Letter to Preemptive Love” by Courtney Christenson The Board of Directors' Statements & Timeline of Events       

This week, we got the opportunity to sit down with humanitarian and author, Jeremy Courtney, who comes to you from his home in northern Iraq! In 2008, Jeremy and his wife Jessica founded an incredible organization called Preemptive Love, who's mission includes providing aid in the form of food, shelter, and medical care to people caught in the midst of global conflict, as well as launching local businesses in war-torn parts of the world to bring jobs, revenue, and stability back to their communities. For over a decade, Jeremy and Jessica worked side-by-side with local partners all over the Middle East, and Preemptive Love grew to become the large, impactful organization that it is today. In late 2021, several former employees voiced complaints and concerns about the Courtney's leadership. The organization willingly subjected themselves to a third-party investigation by Guidepost Solutions hoping to better understand the problems and how to address them. However, a couple of ex-employees went public with their grievances. Shortly thereafter, the board of directors published a statement saying that Jeremy and Jessica Courtney would not be returning to Preemptive Love. After months of radio silence, the Courtneys announced that they were partnering with many of their longtime friends and fellow humanitarians to form a new organization called Humanite Peace Collective. That's obviously the abridged version of the story, but hopefully it gives some context…   This is the first time Jeremy has spoken publicly since leaving Preemptive Love, and we were as anxious as anyone to hear his thoughts on what happened. Whether or not you followed the Courtneys or Preemptive Love over the years, I think you'll find Jeremy's story fascinating. We encourage you to check out Humanite at www.humanite.org, and if you'd like to join the conversation, you'll find a link to the official Growing Up Christian Discord server in our Instagram bio, @growingupchristianpodcast!

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Syrian civil war–a conflict which has already killed and wounded 12,000 children. So we asked Jeremy Courtney, whose organization Pre-emptive Love works with Syrian refugees, to get raw with the Better Samaritan about journeying from privilege into ministry, and back again... a constant grapple between pride and service. Preemptive Love is a global coalition of peacemakers confronting fear with acts of love. The coalition performs emergency relief for families victimized by ISIS, lifesaving heart surgeries for children, peacemaking in conflict-zones, empowering grants for small business owners, education for at-risk children, and provides counsel to policymakers in D.C., London, Baghdad and beyond. Episode Highlights from Jeremy: "[Pre-emptive Love is]...Undercutting the narrative of us vs. them, rich vs. poor. If you're getting shot at, I'm getting shot at."  "When your economics go down, you become a lot more vulnerable to violence spreading through your community."  "If you feel like this world is yours by default… we can make the world a lot safer by lowering our fists, by choosing postures that get our fists down. By seeking to live in an open posture of vulnerability and welcome. It's a discipline and practice that we're trying to undercut generations of default programming. But we do have to give it up, if our goal is to make the road safer."  RESOURCES: Join the work of Pre-emptive Love "On Being a Good Neighbor", sermon draft by the Rev.

HOSTFollow Jesse Oxford, Founder and Creative Director of OX Creative@jesseoxford@oxcreateswww.oxcreates.comGUESTFollow Jeremy Courtney@thejcourt@preemptivelove INTRO:Jesse Oxford: I first met Jeremy while I was doing a documentary project in Northern Iraq in 2017. We were introduced through a mutual friend who told me about the great work his organization Preemptive Love was doing on the front lines, first in heart surgery after the insurgency, and then deterring the refugee crisis due to ISIS. Jeremy and his family have lived in Iraq through it all. One memory that stands out in my mind is driving to drop off his young son at Tae Kwon Do one afternoon, by himself. This runs counter to the narrative that many Westerners have come to imagine when they think of daily life in Iraq.Preemptive Love is an organization that exists to end war. Jeremy has learned the power of stories to help shape fears and friendships that can be formed between different groups, both overseas, and even here in the US. So I wanted to ask Jeremy if stories are currencies, do all stories carry the same weight and value as we work to create good in the world?QUOT-ABLESJeremy Courtney:  I like the notion that stories are the currency of human relationships, because it's how we make meaning of whatever, everything. Everything comes down to quote unquote, "the story we tell ourselves."JC: How we talk about Muslims in America has a profound impact on how we treat Muslims with our bombs and bullets and troops and aid and policies in a place like Iraq or Syria. But, to go even farther, how we talk about black and brown people in America, how we talk about anyone, has a profound impact on what we do in other parts of the world as well. And so we're in this together, and the question that remains is, are we going to rise together or are we going to drag each other all down to the bottom together?JC: We're not permanently a jobs organization, though we do those things. We're primarily an organization that exists to end war. And to do that, we're going to have to do some introspectionJO: The word story has become so often used that I think we often forget that a story is not a format. Not all books are stories, and not all films are stories either. Stories can be read, heard, seen, and experienced. And within each of those verticals, there are hundreds of different durations that stories can be told in. You can read a story as a novel, as a short story, an article, a caption, or a tweet. A tweet is a form of story too. And these days I think that one of the most valued formats of stories in the world, for better or worse, is digital storytelling.JC: How we talk about Muslims in America has a profound impact on how we treat Muslims with our bombs and bullets and troops and aid and policies in a place like Iraq or Syria. But, to go even farther, how we talk about black and brown people in America, how we talk about anyone, has a profound impact on what we do in other parts of the world as well. And so we're in this together, and the question that remains is, are we going to rise together or are we going to drag each other all down to the bottom together?JO: What stories do you feel like we're over-telling? Or what stories are you sick of hearing about?Jeremy Courtney: Well, I'll say simple stories.JO: What would make a story like simple in your mind, as you use the word?JC : This is the good guy, this is the bad guy.  And we fixed it. One of the maxims of marketing is that simplicity sells. And one of the things that a lot of us respect about Apple was the degree to which Steve Jobs could just come in and hit something with a simple stick and knock away the dross and reduce it to an even more basic format, cleaner format. And that truism holds. But I think what we have to ask is, but what are the side effects?JC:  Out with the old lie that we are this great good in the world who doesn't make mistakes and we are singularly and universally better than the governments and better than business and all that. [Instead lets puruse transparency. Lets say] here's where we screwed up. Here's lessons we're learning. Here's what we need to do better." And it's been an effort to, I think, move closer to what you've said here, that many of us are realizing that the world is just more complex than what we were often told it was. And those who refuse to reckon with it are going to get left behind.

In today's episode of the Empowerful Podcast, we are joined by the visionary behind Preemptive Love — Jeremy Courtney.  Preemptive Love has a mission "to end war." It's an audacious goal, which Jeremy acknowledges, but isn't willing to back down from. Since the early 2000s Jeremy and his family have lived near the frontlines of conflict in the Middle East, offering help to those most in need through relief and jobs and striving to create peace through "preemptive love" and empathy. Join us for a conversation about Jeremy's calling to help, his journey to the Middle East, and Preemptive Love's role in the "new normal".

Jeremy Courtney is founder and CEO of Preemptive Love, a global organization providing relief, jobs, and community to end war.

His work has been featured on CNN, the BBC, Fox News, The Washington Post, and the New York Times. Jeremy lives in Iraq with his wife Jessica, co-founder of Preemptive Love, and their two children, Emma and Micah.

Today, August 5, 2020, Guru Jagat sat down with Jeremy Courtney, CEO and Co-Founder of Preemptive Love Coalition - a global organization working to bring aid as well as conversation and community to some of the war-torn areas on the planet.

In this critically relevant and deeply soulful conversation, Guru Jagat and Jeremy talk about starting his work in Iraq with a new baby in the midst of the war, getting beyond a “hero” self-concept, what it means to heal in intense unrest, and why you “love anyway.” Listen now.

We're in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, responding to the refugee crisis on the US-Mexico border. Earlier this year, we began showing up just across the border in El Paso, Texas, listening, learning, and lending a hand where we could, thanks to many of you. We distributed emergency backpacks and listened to leaders on the ground.US protocols have rapidly changed, forcing most asylum seekers to wait on the Mexico side of the border. So we’ve shifted our focus to the growing needs in Juarez, just across from El Paso, where many people are sheltering after they petition for asylum.On Giving Tuesday, we’re excited to announce a new initiative we’re launching where you can help us provide jobs for the most marginalized asylum seekers on the US-Mexico border.  And you can be a part of it.Text “border update” to 72000 to sign up so you can be the first to know about what we're launching on Giving Tuesday. You can play an important role in choosing to love anyway at the US-Mexico border.Learn more.

Who is your enemy? Who is your friend? To consider those questions we spend time with Jeremy Courtney, founder and president of Preemptive Love Coalition. Preemptive Love is a "coalition stretching across Iraq, Syria, the United States, and beyond, working together to unmake violence and create the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible." Lean in as Jeremy and Jessica work to re-frame the idea of good and evil, as well as help us understand some of the current conflicts around the globe—and how we can be a part of bringing peace.

This breaking episode features firsthand accounts of what's happening on the ground in Syria. After our team heard updates from Erin Wilson and Jen Meyerson about what they saw displaced people facing weeks after the US troop withdrawal in northeastern Syria, we knew we had to pause our regularly-scheduled Love Anyway podcast episodes.What they told us is too important not to share. Some of the stories you’ll hear are quite literally life-and-death scenarios.Our team reports that the Turkish ceasefire is not over. Violence is continuing. Families are hiding in gutters and sewers as Turkish bombs fall. Preemptive Love has a presence throughout the vulnerable region of northeastern Syria. Despite the danger, we’re not going anywhere. Our on-the-ground teams are continuing to receive people, including young children, who have experienced serious injuries as a direct result of this violence.Learn more.

How do you unmake violence in parts of the world that are at war? How do you see those in need as friends and not just part of some aggregate situation? What does it look like to love anyway, despite the appearance, beliefs, or history of those in need? Jeremy Courtney, founder and CEO of Preemptive Love, joins us to talk about his new book, "Love Anyway", and the work his organization is doing to imagine the more beautiful world.

The Guys Like Us Podcast is joined with Jeremy Courtney who is the founder and president of Preemptive Love Coalition and an author of several books. In this episode we discuss Jeremy’s backstory including his upbringing in Texas, moving to Turkey post 9/11, to then launching Preemptive Love in Iraq and expanding across the world. In this episode we discuss an overview of peacemaking and his approach to addressing needs in places of tension and conflict. You can learn more about his latest book, “Love Anyway: An Invitation Beyond a World that’s Scary as Hell” where books are sold (Sept. 24) and Preemptive Love at preemptivelove.org

Brett & Emily visit with Preemptive Love Coalition founder, Jeremy Courtney, and tackle a buffet of topics. They also talk about Jeremy's latest book release and Love Anyway podcast.

Jeremy Courtney, founder of the global humanitarian organization Preemptive Love, moved to the Middle East after 9/11 with a plan to save Muslims. Then the Holy Spirit confronted him about his own heart. Courtney talks to host Taylor Berglund about how true reconciliation requires vulnerability, how it's important to love people for who they are and how listeners can become peacemakers in their own communities.

How much should kids be involved in shaping our communities? Should we shield children from news about violence and war? In this episode, we attend a vigil with the Oestreich family, who believes community involvement is a core family value. Diana Oestreich has been the key relationships officer with Preemptive Love for nearly four years. Before that, Diana was a combat medic in the Iraq War. Her experience as a veteran shapes her views on everything, including how she and her husband Jake raise their kids Zelalem and Bridger. What does their commitment to showing up for their community look like? Recently, Diana and her sons joined their community at a local Lights for Liberty event, a vigil for children seeking asylum at the US-Mexico border, and they let us come along with them for this episode. Learn more.

Can kids be peacemakers? Preemptive Love founders Jeremy and Jessica Courtney share how living in Iraq has influenced how they raise their children. With host Erin Wilson, they explore how culture, technology, and war changed their perception of parenting—and invite us all to enter into difficult conversations with the young people in our lives. Their kids, Emma (14) and Micah (11), dive into their perspectives on growing up in Iraq, sharing thoughts on violence, media, and what makes home to them. Kids are often shielded from bad things, but what happens when that’s not possible? This episode also includes a call with Molly Goen, a teacher who confides what students taught her after they survived a traumatic act of violence in an Iraqi classroom. Young people absorb more than we might imagine, and they understand more than we may assume. When we examine what it looks like to love anyway, we often come up with complicated answers. But ask a kid in your life what it means to love anyway, and you might be surprised at the depth even simple responses bring to the conversation.

In the trailer for season two of the Love Anyway podcast, host Erin Wilson and Preemptive Love founder Jeremy Courtney share why it’s important to enter into hard conversations with all kinds of people—including kids. In season two, we’ll explore the fears and questions kids—and the adults in their lives—have about violence, racism, media, cultural differences, and war. Children are often left out of hard conversations. But what if we welcome future generations to the table, now? Join us as peacemakers of all ages share true stories of hope, exploring how to broaden the picture of what it looks like to love anyway. Learn more.

We're inviting you to a behind-the-scenes look at the people and stories behind the Love Anyway podcast. Host Erin Wilson joins Ben Irwin, director of communications, for a casual conversation recapping season one with producer Kayla Craig. Hear Erin share her favorite episode and what she finds most challenging about hosting a podcast. (And experience her infectious laughter that those of us at Preemptive Love get a front row seat to every day.) Discover the episode Ben was most skeptical of—and how it turned out to be his favorite. You'll also catch an exclusive sneak peek into Season Two of Love Anyway, which launches in July. Learn more.

In the aftermath of September 11, Jeremy Courtney of Preemptive Love Coalition moved to the Middle East to serve in the midst of chaos and violence that would make most of us run the other way. Instead, his family chose to move toward the devastation, to be neighbors. Jeremy joined us on our Inside Giving podcast several months ago to give us an up-close and very personal look from the neighborhoods that are on the front lines in Syria and Iraq, where war and violence had destroyed whole towns "street by street by street." But, Jeremy says, “Violence doesn’t get the last word. We do. It seeks to drive us apart through fear. That’s why we have to show up on the front lines of conflict and love anyway.”

Jeremy Courtney, co-founder of Preemptive Love, and host Erin Wilson look ahead to episode one and share the vision behind the first season of Love Anyway. What can you expect when listening? Creating peace between communities at odds. Remaking what was broken. Ending war. Healing hearts across enemy lines, beginning with our own. And discovering that we really do belong to each other. Love Anyway is a brand new podcast by Preemptive Love, premiering April 17. Learn more here.

“Our number one responsibility is to raise high-functioning, intelligent, nuanced, loving, service-oriented adults. I think that’s what we’re really trying to do. And we think there might be an inverse correlation between safety and how we want to raise our kids to be, if we want to raise our kids in the name of protection and then suddenly expect them to flip a switch at 21 or 26 and become service-orientated, loving, nuanced, kind, worldly, and the best sense of culture and open to other ideas.” Jeremy and Jess Courtney of Preemptive Love talk about how relationships change language, what they learned about how other families do life while living amongst another culture, and how being hopeful is a lot easier when you’re closer to the problem.

Showing preemptive love in Iraq and Syria - Jeremy Courtney

Gabe Lyons had a conversation with Jeremy Courtney about how the idea of loving anyway is changing lives in Iraq and Syria. Jeremy is the founder and president of Preemptive Love, an organization serving the refugee, the oppressed and the most vulnerable. 

Jeremy Courtney is cofounder and executive director of the Preemptive Love Coalition (PLC), an international development organization based in Iraq that brings relief to families fleeing war in Syria and Iraq, helps refugees rebuild their lives, and provides lifesaving medical care for children in conflict zones. More: http://goodgoodgood.co/soundsgood

"Violence unmakes the world, but preemptive love has the power to unmake violence." Jeremy Courtney is the founder and CEO of the Preemptive Love Coalition, which brings relief to families fleeing war in Syria and Iraq. They help refugees rebuild their lives. And we provide lifesaving medical care for children in conflict zones.  Jeremy and his wife Jessica moved to New York City just after 9/11, then to Istanbul, and finally to Iraq during the Iraq War in 2006. Their story is less heroic than it is humble; they have simply fallen in love with the Iraqi people, so they are in it for the long haul because in their words, the Iraqi people are "our people." Enjoy.  Become a monthly sponsor of Preemptive Love. Read Jeremy's book, Preemptive Love. Read Jeremy's article in the Washington Post: The World is Scary as Hell. Love Anyway.

This week, Jesus Culture singer and worship leader Kim Walker-Smith joins us to discuss the songs that have changed her life and shaped her as an artist. We also talk with Preemptive Love Coalition founder Jeremy Courtney about the conflict unfolding in Mosul and how you can help the people of Iraq.

In the heart of conflict, there is only one kind of love big enough to change a nation: a love that strikes first. Jeremy Courtney is the founder of Preemptive Love Coalition, a development organization that works across Iraq providing lifesaving surgeries for children and more recently responds to the daily needs of those living in the shadow of ISIS. He is also the author of Preemptive Love, a book that invites you to walk along the front lines of the struggle for peace with Jeremy in a firsthand account of his team's quest to mend hearts and save lives in the world's most notorious war-torn country. Jeremy hosts conversations about peacemaking and Muslim-Christian relations and shares stories of love and hope from the front lines of Syria and Iraq, where he has lived for over a decade with his wife and two children.

On this episode of the Catalyst Podcast, James Vore and Jeremy Courtney discuss the work Preemptive Love Coalition is doing in Iraq, and what we can learn from it wherever we are leading. 

Jeremy Courtney, founder of Preemptive Love, called into the studio to discuss the work of Preemptive Love in Iraq in the midst of ISIS and terror. "The world is scary as hell, love anyway."

The world is facing the worst refugee crisis since WWII. Over 11 million Syrians have been displaced, and while some try to seek safe harbor in Europe, the vast majority will never leave the region. In the face of human depravity and under an enormous threat of violence, some are leading the way. How is the Church responding? What are the ways we can continue to help and ensure Christian love is experienced even in the worst of conditions?

Jeremy Courtney is the Founder and Executive Director of Preemptive Love, a peacemaking movement bent on waging love in some of the world's most dangerous conflict zones like Iraq and Libya. Through medical care, political dialogue, and more, Jeremy and his team are risking their lives to mend families torn apart by war and violence. Recorded live from Iraq, we discuss what it's like to have a big vision at a young age, how the next generation should respond to global conflicts like ISIS, and why healing begins when we choose to put our biases aside and "love anyway."

If performing heart surgery isn't difficult enough, try doing it in the war-torn country of Iraq. Jeremy Courtney is the executive director of Preemptive Love Coalition, a non-profit that provides medical training for Iraqi physicians and heart surgeries for children in Iraq. He makes a compelling case for extending a helping hand first and asking questions later. In the process of mending hearts, he is mending cultural discord, unmaking violence, and living out the call of Jesus to be a peacemaker.
