This is the fifty-second installment in Eric’s series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW2. In this episode he breaks down Winston Churchill’s thinking towards the expenditure of British military strength in the critical year of 1943. Should he hoard it or should he radically spend it? Should he take a step away in order to amass greater strength for a battle someday in the future or should he take the uncomfortable step forward into the fray now and wield the strength he already possesses? His decision-making process back then profoundly parallels the decision that we as the Church are needing to make right now in this hour of dire need.
