Description

This week on Strength From Service, Jack sits down with Chris Jansma — a small-town Minnesota kid who went on to serve his country in Iraq and is now serving in a different, deeply personal way.


Chris shares his journey from rural roots to the U.S. Army, his deployment experience, and the powerful transition into becoming the full-time caregiver for his son. His story is one of resilience, responsibility, and a continued commitment to serving others long after his military service ended.


Hear how Chris navigated war, fatherhood, and the challenges of caregiving — and how he continues to show what strength through service really looks like.
