Dear Friends,

We are eager to meet together for our next CS Monitor prayer session on Monday, September 7th, at 7pm ET.

We would love to have you join us.

The article that we will consider together this week has a focus of IRAN WAR. The link is listed below. It is helpful to have read or listened to the article beforehand, but you are welcome to join us regardless. Feel free to share this email with others who might want to participate, as well.

Fighting on two fronts: Army secretary’s exit highlights Hegseth’s war on pushback

By Anna Mulrine Grobe, Staff writer, September 3, 2026, 2:56 p.m. ET

War requires discipline and problem-solving. Dan Driscoll’s resignation as Army secretary highlights a pattern of moves by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth – at a time of conflict – that appears to prioritize political loyalty over expertise.

We are looking forward to this expression of church that propels us towards prayer.

Warmly

Your JP Monitor prayer team (Brian, Janell, Joe, Sarah and Tee)
