17 - Christians & Military Service with Leland Stephens


Listen Later

Are there any situations in which Christians are permitted to use violence? How are Jesus followers supposed to think about military service?

Join us as we explore this complex but important topic. The episode begins with Taylor asking Denver about his journey to the position of Christian nonviolence. They are then joined by Leland Stephens, a former US marine and church planter. He shares about his journey to faith, his experience as a Christ follower in the Marine corps, and the discussions he has had over the years with fellow servicemen and seminarians about violence and military service. Leland's perspective is thoughtful, nuanced, and informed by real-world experience.
