Honored and humbled to conclude my time as the Command Chaplain for America’s First Corps and JBLM. Deeply grateful for the Soldiers, Families, and leaders we’ve served alongside these past two years. Thank you, America’s First Corps. Taking care of People is lived out daily.

One of the greatest joys of this journey is sitting down in fellowship with fellow chaplains and hearing the powerful stories of lives impacted through ministry. These moments remind me why we serve. Iron sharpens iron.

Amazing lunch with four outstanding Chaplain (LTCs) from America’s First Corps.

Iron sharpens iron - building strong teams across the Pacific. 🇺🇸

[J.P. Smith, Ph.D. @Chaplain_JP]

Connections built on this journey aren’t just networking - they’re lifelong friendships.

Grateful for brothers who inspire excellence in and out of uniform.

Iron sharpens iron. 🇺🇸

Following His Resurrection — the eyewitness accounts of Christ were irrefutable. He is still Risen, Indeed!

Let the Exercise begin - Courage Lethality!

31 years and still answering the Call — bringing God to Warfighters and Warfighters to God.

Ready for the mission. Let’s go. ✝️😊

After preaching two Resurrection messages, it was time to Rest, Recover, and Reflect on the goodness and mercy of God.

From the Mountain to the Ocean — one thing is certain: He is Risen! He is Risen indeed

“Everybody can be great…because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” Dr. MLK Jr.

Last time I did this was for a Uniform Inspection almost 20 years ago. Just finished round three of five. What’s your secret to the perfect shine? I may use it for the final two rounds 😊😎

From OCT 22 - APR 23 I read 24 books. There are only 23 here but I assure you I read 24 but I read it daily from the device I’m using to take this photo😊. Simply put, Leaders are Readers and Daily Learning and Listening are Essential to Leadership 📚👨🏽‍🏫

Almost skipped my workout today, but when you get paid to stay fit you do what’s necessary to support the Family 😊💪🏽

I had to shed the sweatshirt after thirty minutes of HIIT Cardio, but it was 2/27 IN Wolfhouds the whole way!

Wishing each of you a Prosperous New Year filled with an abundance of Love, Joy and Peace!

Headed to work on this beautiful Thursday morning. The classroom is my office. The daily strategy is Listen First, Learn Something New, Lead a Segment of the Dialogue, and Smile while doing the first three. It’s my recipe for Success as a Lifelong Learner 😊

[J.P. Smith, Ph.D. @Chaplain_JP]

Learning and Listening are synonymous with Leading! When we Learn to Listen and Listen to Learn we will inevitably Lead other Learners, Listeners and Leaders!
