In this episode of the Courageous Crossroads, host Jeff sits down with Chuck Larson for a wide-ranging and deeply personal conversation about faith, courage, service, and purpose. Chuck shares stories from a life marked by global experience, including military service in Iraq, time spent in the Middle East, work in government and business, and a faith journey refined through hardship and renewal. He reflects on what courage really means to him today, not just facing
physical danger, but stepping out in love, speaking openly about faith, praying for others, and trusting God in everyday moments. The discussion moves fluidly from combat missions and leadership under pressure to healing, generosity, identity in Christ, and the urgency of using our limited time to lift others up. Chuck Larson is a former Iowa legislator, U.S. Army Reserve JAG officer, and public affairs professional who served a year in Iraq and later as U.S. Ambassador to
Latvia. He is the co-owner of an Iowa-based public relations, public affairs, and government relations firm with team members across the country, and he now spends much of his time coaching, teaching, and encouraging others in their faith. Chuck can be reached by email at clarson@ls2group.com or by phone at 319-533-1451, and he welcomes opportunities to connect,
answer questions, or invite others into study and conversation.
