Episode #43 - From Military to Faith, a Life of Service with Jeff Jones
Manage episode 494188455 series 3611445
A mutual contact on X reached out to me and recommended I get in touch with Jeff and I'm glad that I did. Jeff shares his journey from military service to civilian life, discussing the challenges and rewards of transitioning out of the military. He reflects on the connection between his faith and military values, the cultural shifts in attitudes towards Christianity, and the unique challenges faced by the Catholic Church in America. The discussion also touches on the importance of understanding life, the role of science in faith discussions, and the insights provided by Jeff's book, 'Unforeseeable: a Bargain with Time: The Cost of a Better Tomorrow' - a story that helps a society of non-believers who are not shaped through the morality of Christianity to see the consequences of actions that they otherwise might think of as being good.
