Jeff Struecker, lead pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Columbus, GA, and retired U.S. Army chaplain, talks about his journey in the Army Rangers and the call to ministry he received the day after he was involved in the battle that the film Black Hawk Down is based upon. Jeff also discusses the idea of being a Christian and going to war, and what being a chaplain really entails.
Courses by Jeff Struecker
If you’re thinking about becoming a chaplain or want to gain new skills and theological training from an “on the ground” perspective, consider the two-course Chaplaincy Bundle from Logos Mobile Ed.
You’ll learn about the role of a chaplain and how you can minister to those around you. Struecker draws from both the truth of Scripture and the reality of his experiences on the battlefield. He shows you how an incarnational ministry can start—even if you’re the only Christian around—and how it can be sustained.
