Warrior Monks…not something you see every day. Back in the heyday, knights fighting for their faith and to protect their fellow man were a lot more common. Today, we’re introducing you to a real life Warrior Monk. He served the US in the elite units of the Marine Corps and then became a Christian monk.

With Easter around the bend, Allison thought it would be an ideal time for you to have the opportunity to spend time with this remarkable guy.
