@Marc Gwin First off - welcome to the group. Now you do not provide much detail here - but going back to my corporate days - I wonder if the hook might be hiding in the WHY, WHAT and HOW of his story rather than simply in the fact that he was an Army chaplain who served twice in Afghanistan. I’d dig into WHY he chose the chaplaincy and ultimately a life that could take him into combat. Was there a calling, an event, a person, or a turning point that put him on that path? WHY did he go back as you mentioned he was deployed to Afghanistan - 2 times? What did he know after the first deployment that he didn't know before it? Was the second deployment simply his assignment, or did he have a choice? If he had a choice, what made him willing to return to a place where he already knew the risks and realities of combat? Was it duty, calling, loyalty to the soldiers, unfinished business, or something else entirely? Then there’s the WHAT: what happened during those deployments that changed him? Was there an “Oh my God” moment, such as a soldier he never forgot, a loss he can't forget/forgive, a crisis of faith, or an experience that fundamentally changed how he viewed his ministry and the people he served? And then I’d really explore the HOW: how did those experiences affect him when he came home? How did they affect his marriage, family, relationships, faith, and ministry? What did his family see in him that perhaps he didn’t see in himself? And ultimately, what does he want to leave behind as his legacy? The Hook is so important - crafted with few words - each one trying not to become the weakest link in the chain. I wish you much success.
