Jeremy Stalnecker: Reveals Lessons in Leadership From Military Service

33 minutes

Jeremy Stalnecker is a Marine Corps veteran, pastor, and the CEO of the Mighty Oaks Foundation—a nonprofit dedicated to helping America’s military warriors and their families overcome the unseen wounds of combat, such as PTSD. Drawing on his own challenges transitioning home after Iraq, Jeremy has made it his mission to offer faith-based hope, healing, and leadership to veterans, first responders, and their loved ones. His experience in both combat leadership and ministry uniquely positions him as a transformative voice for resilience, character, and servant leadership.

Takeaways:

●

Healing unseen wounds takes community and purpose: Jeremy credits his journey of healing from trauma to having the right support network and a strong sense of faith, which now fuels his responsibility to help others walking a similar path.

●

Leadership is about being, not just doing:

Effective leadership is rooted in character and presence—not just tactics or positional authority. True leaders leverage their resources and opportunities to help others grow and succeed.

●

Resilience in a changing world requires clarity: With an overload of information and rapidly evolving challenges, leaders must be grounded in their purpose and values to navigate uncertainty and positively impact those around them.

Sound Bites:

“So many people are carrying traumas and

brokenness within them that goes undealt with... if you don't address these, eventually it will have a very damaging effect on you.”

“My job as a leader is not to get you to do what I want you to do. It's to leverage everything I have at my disposal to make you better than you would be without me.”

“When those things pop up in front of us, we have to decide, am I going to stay where I am and die, or am I going to march?”
