Samuel Joseph Priggemeier

Faith was never meant to hold him in place. It was meant to hold him steady while everything else moved.

Portrait of Samuel J. Priggemeier

Twenty-six years

Sam Priggemeier served twenty-six years in the United States Navy as an Aviation Electronics Technician, keeping fighter jets flying safely through the dark.

He holds a Master of Arts in Military History from Norwich University.

For twenty-one years I was asked the same question, in church after church: are you saved by grace, or by works? What none of us understood was that the question itself was the problem.
Grace & Works, Chapter One
