Religion and Leadership in a Time of War: Lt. Gen. Charles Luckey (Ret.)

from The State Of Belief · host Interfaith Alliance

And what does true courage look like today — especially for ordinary citizens who feel overwhelmed or unsure of how to respond?

Luckey — former head of the US Army Reserve, former JAG officer, and veteran of three combat tours, including in Iraq. He’s also a seminary student at Wake Forest Theological Seminary — and all these identities intersect to provide unique insights and observations. Learn more about your ad choices.
