SUMMARY:Summer Celebration #1
DESCRIPTION:If you are graduating from Fort Leavenworth CGSC or SAMS\, Summer Celebration Week 1 is ideal for you! Those not currently living at Fort Leavenworth are also welcome! \nSpeaker: CH(COL) Seth George\, USA \nChaplain Seth George currently serves as the Combined Arms Center Chaplain\, Fort Leavenworth\, KS. He graduated from high school in Murphysboro\, IL\, attended Covenant College\, and was commissioned as a Chaplain in 1997 at Sangre de Cristo Seminary in Westcliffe\, CO. \nHe has ministered as a chaplain at Walter Reed Army Medical Center; Tripler Army Medical Center\, HI; Hohenfels and Schweinfurt\, Germany; 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment at Fort Lewis\, WA; 3rd Brigade Combat Team at Fort Carson\, CO; Special Operations Command South\, Homestead ARB\, FL; Aberdeen Proving Grounds\, MD; and multiple roles as a chaplain and pastor at Fort Leavenworth\, KS. In these roles\, he has deployed multiple times to Iraq and Afghanistan\, as well as Poland\, Romania\, and Germany. \nCH George holds a Master’s Degree in Religious Studies from the University of Kansas and a Doctor of Ministry from Covenant Theological Seminary. He and his wife Sarah have three children: Katherine (19)\, Timothy (17) and Anne (14). \nTopic: “Designed for Discipleship” \nOur study will consider the design of discipleship beginning with the significance of Jesus words to his own disciples\, “Beware the leaven of the Pharisees and that of Herod.” The disciples were holding tightly to a cultural faith that was fractured and fading away when Jesus entered their lives with new and unsettling questions. If the old temple design was to fall away\, what new tools would the disciples need to build a living temple stone by stone? Our daily discussions will explore how Jesus uses elements of vision\, pressure\, testing and sacrificial love as the discipleship tools to build His church. \nGuest Ambassadors: LTC Jim and Christina Harbridge\, USA (Ret.) \nMake a Reservation

SUMMARY:Summer Celebration #3
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: LTC & Mrs. Joel Eberly\, ARNG (Ret.) \nAfter doing some really cool stuff in the Army\, Joel decided to return home for college and had a 10 year successful career in the corporate world while serving in the Army National Guard part-time. Joel felt the calling to volunteer for an active duty deployment after 9-11 and stayed active until he retired at 31 total years (Legion of Merit\, Bronze Star\,…). \nJoel has been mentioned in articles and a book\, on the news several times and radio\, the featured speaker or contributing presenter at numerous events\, published articles\, founded and led an activity group for special needs kids in the Raleigh area\, volunteered in high school as a soccer coach\, volunteered with numerous non-profits through the years beginning in college\, is a former WMD advisor for 2 state committees – worked with Secret Service/FBI at Super Bowls and Presidential events as Commander of a special Army unit\, has a Master’s Degree\, started an annual 200 mile bike ride to help wounded troops/military kids\,… and started numerous other events through the years. Joel is/was on the council of a non-profit\, board member of another\, former President of another\, speaks weekly at 2 drug/alcohol addiction centers and cooks a pig for them monthly\, started 7 Bible studies\,… and is constantly helping people behind the scenes. Those around him truly can’t keep up with all he has done and still does that people have no clue about – people drop in/text/email/call him for encouragement/advice often. \nHe loves making others laugh (at his expense and doesn’t care much about what people think of him)\, can fix about anything\, hangs out with all types of people\, is an avid outdoorsman (takes people fishing and hunting)\, loves to play (not watch) sports\, and is crazy (rode bulls in the rodeo and illegally jumped solo out of civilian planes with no formal training/certification). He reminds people he has made a ton of mistakes and still does-says he is not special and thinks he does not do enough for others but I say he is a one of a kind. \nAuthor of The Three Hardest Things In Life (Amazon)  \nTopic: “The Three Hardest Things In Life” \n\nPart 1 – Most people think they are a good person\, even if not religious\, but are you? Also\, should we settle for being average or try to be great at a few things? Who defines “good person or good Christian” and why is it so hard?\nPart 2 – People in relationships/marriage for a long while will tell you that it is tough to always call it “great” and some will even sadly say it was often bad. We will share deep tips from each other and of course\, the Bible.\nPart 3 – Any idiot can have kids and put in little effort to raise them to the point where they can take care of themselves – the third hardest thing in life is to raise them right. How do you define “right”?\n\nIf you are not married or don’t have kids\, you will still enjoy those parts of the presentation because the information can be used to help others (God may bring you a soulmate\, you may be an aunt/mentor/…). Also\, sadly all of us adults need a refresher in the various topics.\nGuest Ambassadors: CAPT Jim and Sandy Speicher\, USN (Ret.) \nMake a Reservation
