""There's a temptation to think that you're actually in control and responsible for final outcomes, especially for those who issue the commands and do the aiming and the shooting. But you are not ultimately in charge of the world.""
""If our Lord is sovereign even over the sparrow's fallings, you can be assured that he is sovereign over everything else that falls in this world, including Tomahawk and Minuteman missiles... Jesus has the final say over all of it.""
Since taking office in 2025, Pete Hegseth has held monthly Christian worship services at the Department of Defense. His spiritual advisor, Brooks Potteiger, emphasized divine sovereignty during a sermon, stating that leaders are not ultimately in control of outcomes. This message was juxtaposed with a tragic incident where a U.S. Tomahawk missile struck a school in Iran, resulting in significant civilian casualties. Hegseth and Trump have not taken responsibility or apologized for the attack, raising ethical concerns about military actions and their consequences.
