Is military service more about death or life? The concept of affirming life is typically not the first thing that comes to mind when discussing the military, but perhaps it should be. In fact, the motto for each branch of the military speaks to life and protecting the vulnerable. Today on the podcast, Christa and Jeff are joined by special guest, Brad Price, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lutheran Military Support Group. They delve into the Scriptural backing for this vocation, the challenges military families face, and how we can help them in our congregation.

After listening to this episode, you will be able to answer these questions:

• Is military service a proper vocation for a believer?
• What should people understand about life and service in the military?
• How can Christians better support our service members?
