The Making of a Moral Leader: Faith Under Pressure
About this episode
Ray and Chaplain Colonel Shabazz discuss the challenges of moral leadership and faith in the military.
In the heart of the series, Ray and Chaplain Colonel Shabazz confront the moments that tested him — morally, spiritually, and institutionally. They explore the conflicts he witnessed, the burdens he carried, and the realities of being a Black Muslim officer in a system that often misunderstands both. This is where the quiet truths come out: the cost of service, the weight of conscience, and the thin line between obedience and survival. A powerful look at what happens when faith meets the machinery of war. For more on Chaplain Colonel Shabazz, find him on Facebook or TikTok , and visit Ray at drraychristian.com .
