5.0 out of 5 stars from 7 ratings
  • Consistently thoughtful

    Itโ€™s more than morning prayer; itโ€™s a thought-provoking reflection about scripture and current events. As a civilian, I feel privileged to be listening in on a conversation between among soldiers and the Holy Spirit.

  • Witty and thought provoking

    As a civilian I felt connected to the military community. Short enough for my daily commute, but insightful enough to leave me thinking the whole day.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

GruntGod ch.2 with Chris Haw
Q: What is your answer when someone asks if you still consider yourself a capital P pacifist?
I don't describe myself in binary terms of pacifism; I identify with a nuanced stance that recognizes the imperative to restrain violence while acknowledging the necessity of certain defensive or protective actions, and I'm drawn to Niebuhr's realism rather than strict absolutism.
GruntGod ep.8 with Christian Barthel
Q: Could you tell me anything about the chingulum and what the military function was of it?
They discuss the chingulum as a symbol of military rank adopted by Pachomian monastic communities, serving as a sign of belonging and enforcing discipline, much like military insignia and oaths, and how such symbols carried over into religious practice.
GruntGod ep.8 with Christian Barthel
Q: Why don't you tell me a little bit about your background and how you came to appreciate Pachomius and what you've found?
Barthel explains his focus on Pachomius within late antiquity, emphasizing his interest in military institutions, Christian history, and how Pachomius's life intersected with broader socio-political contexts; he highlights his research into Egyptian monasticism and how those early lives inform our understanding of communal monasticism.
GruntGod ch.1 with David Peters
Q: Would you say more about how Genesis, or the Bible more broadly, influenced your understanding, your faith journey as a veteran in particular?
Peters explains that Genesis shapes the origin story of goodness and the struggle with moral injury, emphasizing community, belonging, and the need for humility when interpreting scripture within military life.
ORLA Testimony
Q: What is the context for the legislative concepts you authored?
I authored two legislative concepts aimed at addressing anti-military bias and improving civil rights protections for military families.
