FROM SIDELINED TO FRONT LINES
Empowering Churches Equipping Veterans
Transforming Communities—Freely
Most churches wish they could fully engage their veterans, but too often, those who served sit sidelined—underutilized, unseen, and unable to bring their hard-earned strengths to the whole Body.
Valor & Grace provides FREE, proven tools and a battle-tested system to help churches transform these sidelined warriors into spiritual leaders who strengthen every ministry.
Every resource is offered at no cost to churches or veterans—thanks to the generosity of our ministry partners.
THE UNSEEN COST
A Weakened Church and UNFULFIlLED Warriors
We lose vigilance, courage, and true leadership when veterans remain unengaged.
Veterans long for faith they can own; churches miss out on their discipline and wisdom.
“Much land remains to be taken.” (Joshua 13:1) When trained warriors have no mission, both they and the whole Body suffer.
OUR MODEL
A Turnkey System You Make Your Own
Developed through years of practical ministry experience, refined leading 150+ veterans.
Monthly-to-daily framework—monthly themes, weekly devotionals, daily reflections—designed for local leaders to replicate and adapt in their own church.
A content engine that feeds your congregation year-round, fueled by a toolkit anyone can use—regardless of your tech skills, experience, or church size.
BUILT TO BE REPLICATED
Founded by combat vet and ministry architect Stephen Vieting, Valor & Grace isn't just another resource database it's a leadership-forging, story-driven system proven to empower veterans and faith communities alike. Our resources were built to be yours—not to keep you dependent on us. You don’t follow us. We equip you to lead.
Our DNA:
Battle-Tested: Practical, not pie-in-the-sky.
Biblical Foundation: Anchored in scripture, not trends.
Vet-Created, Church-Centric: From the field, for your pews.
Always Free: Fully funded by partners who’ve seen the need.
EXACTLY HOW IT WORKS
For Churches & Veterans:
Download Your Free Guides: 5-Step Launch Blueprint, The Armor of God Study, and a regularly updated resource library.
Implement the Model: Monthly-to-daily content pipelines—any leader can follow, adapt, and teach.
Watch Transformation: Sidelined veterans become engaged leaders. Congregations gain vigilance, resilience, and unity.
For Partners & Donors:
Your Support Fuels the Engine: Every dollar goes to creating, updating, and disseminating these resources for free.
Equipers, Not Followers: You help churches multiply leaders and ministry—never dependence.
Celebrate the Ripples: You share in success you made possible—every story, every life redirected.
THE COST OF DELAY
When We Fail Our Warriors & Weaken the Church
If this mission isn't championed, if churches remain unequipped, and if donors don't step up to fuel this vital work:
Spiritual vigilance will continue to erode, leaving churches exposed.
God-given leaders, our veterans, will remain on the sidelines, their potential squandered.
Veterans will drift further from the Church, feeling misunderstood and their unique service spiritually devalued.
The Body of Christ will remain deprived of essential strength, resilience, and the disciplined leadership only veterans can bring.
The "land to be taken" for the Kingdom (Joshua 13:1) remains unconquered, a heartbreaking loss.
SEE THE VALOR & GRACE SYSTEM
Valor & Grace isn't just about resources; it's a battle-tested system designed for consistent spiritual nourishment and practical guidance. See below for a sample of our content engine in action—a complete month's cycle, from theme-setting Monthly Briefing down to daily reflections. This system is designed to be replicable in your context.
The Monthly Briefing (Sample)
FAITH AFTER SERVICE: The Mission Still Matters
It's time to harness our experiences and live out our mission beyond service. This month, we focus on the 4 R's: Readiness, where we stay spiritually attuned and prepared for action; Redemption, reminding us that every fall is an opportunity to rise stronger; Restoration, the vital process of reclaiming purpose from our past; and Resurrection, celebrating the victory that empowers us to lead and inspire.
Join us as we stand ready, not just as protectors, but as examples of faith and strength, forging ahead together in our calling. Are you ready to make an impact?
The weekly Briefing (Sample)
BREAK IN THE MITT
Readiness isn’t just waiting; it’s preparation.
If you've stood in formation before sunrise—boots laced, pack tight—you know what it means to hurry up and wait. It's a rhythm of preparation, where God trains men through quiet repetition before visible purpose.
Like a baseball glove pounded into shape to become an extension of your hand, God prepares us through time and intention. In chaotic moments, like Dakota Meyer faced in Ganjgal Valley, effective action came from being formed by pressure.
Readiness goes beyond the moment of action; it's about spiritual growth that forges capacity for leadership.
Are you ready to put the ball in the glove?

Bite-sized truth for daily application
THE COST OF INACTION
Churches remain weaker, more divided, less vigilant.
Veterans drift, unseen, underutilized—some never reconnect to faith.
The Kingdom loses ground “from strength to strength” left unrealized.
A CHURCH BUILT ON
VALOR & GRACE
Visualize a congregation where:
Veterans find meaning, lead, and mentor.
Every member grows “from strength to strength” (Psalm 84:7).
Diversity of service and story becomes unity in mission.
Your church. Your veterans. Fully equipped. Ready for impact.
