Welcome to Mission & Mercy. I’m so glad you’re here.

My name is Jeremy—pastor, veteran, writer, and fellow traveler in this journey of life, faith, and finding peace in the chaos.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• “Can I really hold onto hope in the middle of all this mess?”
• “Where is God when life hits hard?”
• “What comes next after military life, loss, or burnout?”

Then you’re in the right place. This blog was made for you.

My Story (The Short Version)

I spent years in the military, years in ministry, and like many of you, years trying to make sense of the stuff life throws at us. I’ve seen battlefields, hospital rooms, broken hearts, and moments of beautiful breakthrough.

And I’ve learned something: God shows up in all of it. Even the nights when prayers feel unanswered and the weight is too heavy to carry.

This space, Mission and Mercy, was born out of a calling to write, share, and encourage others with two things I’ve come to depend on:

1. Mission – Because we all need purpose.
2. Mercy – Because we all fall apart sometimes.

What You’ll Find Here

This blog isn’t polished or perfect—it’s personal. You’ll find:

• Devotionals and encouragement rooted in Scripture and real life
• Resources for veterans and families navigating change and challenge
• Reflections on mental health, grief, and healing
• Practical ways to live with faith and purpose, even when the road gets rough

If you’ve ever felt stuck between “I’m trying” and “I can’t do this anymore,” my hope is that you’ll find something here that reminds you that you’re not alone.

A Few Fun Things About Me

• I drink too much coffee and quote Scripture like it’s my second language.
• I believe humor is holy—yes, even dad jokes.
• I’m passionate about helping others discover hope that holds and faith that fights back.
• I believe healing is possible and sometimes, writing is part of it.
