Diana Oestreich, a combat medic in the Army National Guard, enlisted like both her parents before her.

But then along comes the gospel – exploding the lie with its mind-shattering declaration that not only does He love us, He is the One who “forgives all [our] iniquities, who heals all [our] diseases” (Psalm 103:3). While we tend to conform to our own self-concept, becoming what we think we are, Jesus does something for us that no man can do, He give us a new identity. “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have become new (2Corinthians 5:17).

Pastors suffer a variety of anxiety by trying to make sense of this pestilence while pastoring a political pickle. As a result, the pastors who stick it out are tempted to chase greatness by becoming motivational speakers who carry the world's weight on their shoulders.
