Have you ever asked yourself:

  • "How do I truly lead my kids without falling into controlling behaviors?"
  • "Is it possible to have a strong, lasting marriage while staying emotionally connected?"
  • "How do I find purpose and resilience when life throws its biggest curveballs?"

If these questions resonate, get ready for a powerful conversation that will challenge and inspire you to lead with greater intention—at home and beyond.

Larry Hagner sits down with Jeremy Stalnecker—a Marine Corps veteran, father of four, pastor, and co-leader of the Mighty Oaks Foundation. Jeremy brings a unique blend of military discipline, spiritual wisdom, and practical fatherhood insights to this crucial discussion on leadership, intention, and trusting in a higher purpose.

Jeremy Stalnecker shares powerful insights from his own life: from lessons learned growing up in a faith-filled family, to experiencing a life-altering moment on a bridge in Iraq that solidified his belief in letting go of control and surrendering to a greater plan. 

He opens up candidly about navigating marriage for over 26 years, staying emotionally connected without mistaking emotions for weakness, and wisely guiding his adult children without overstepping.
