  • Cross point

    A great idea to encourage and network an learn who we are -serving the Lord in the military-

    But could do without the OCF advertising with each pod cast - why not one on the OCF to get the word across?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Who is the Lord of your ambition?
Q: When your commander, your spouse, your mentors, four guys talking on a podcast right now, I'll give you different advice. How do you decide whose voice wins and who to listen to?
They recommend seeking counsel from godly people, comparing advice with Scripture, praying for the Holy Spirit's guidance, and taking responsibility for the decision. Becking adds that circumstances and whether details come together can help someone discern a direction.
Who is the Lord of your ambition?
Q: How do you tell the difference between a demanding season, so maybe something that's just normal for military life, and then when that demanding season has become an unhealthy pattern that needs to be addressed?
The guests advise looking at the pattern over time: whether time with God and fellowship remain regular, whether family and friends feel like a joy or a burden, and whether work is driven by service or fear of failure. They also emphasize seeking trusted people who can help identify unhealthy patterns.
You can't see God's providence through the windshield
Q: What moment best illustrated the change from praying for outcomes to praying to understand what God wants to teach you?
The Pasadena drive crisis where he cried out and God answered with a shift toward honest, relational prayer and the realization that God is working in him as much as in his son.
You can't see God's providence through the windshield
Q: How did the military culture of certainty influence your faith and your approach to God?
It initially trained him in discipline and excellence, but when faced with unfixable family crises, he learned to distinguish between competence and dependence on God, shifting to a relational, trusting prayer life.
