Lately, change seems to happen by the day. Navigating this uncertainty as leaders is a process that constantly calls us to lead with strength, truth, and adaptability. In this episode, Jeremy Stalnecker discusses the key principles he learned from his experience serving as a Marine in Baghdad and how they apply to his everyday life today. Jeremy also examines how these lessons influence his leadership as CEO of The Mighty Oaks Foundation, incorporating his perspective as a former pastor to see how our faith guides our leadership and helps us step into the leadership that God designed us for.
