Anthony Lessard Part 3 "Did He Really Change?"

In a heartfelt interview titled "Anthony Lessard Part 3: Did He Really Change?", Canadian Armed Forces member Anthony Lessard shares how his dramatic transformation after encountering God on January 4th has freed him from past burdens, making him fearless in sharing his faith. He recounts seeking divine alignment during a challenging March break family trip to Quebec City, and how his wife Sandra's affirmation of his genuine change to a recently suicidal friend opened doors for deep conversations, planting seeds without pressure. Embracing Jesus' commands to love God fully, love others, and make disciples, Anthony finds seamless support in the military through prayer and song-sharing with his sergeant, and advises fellow Christian soldiers to prioritize impactful actions over words—standing for justice, practicing small daily kindnesses, and always asking "What Would Jesus Do?"—while seeing God everywhere, from Afghanistan's star-filled skies and loyal pets to family interactions. To remain close to God on deployments or exercises, he stresses consistent prayer, Bible reading, and wise use of time by avoiding distractions like video games, and as a newcomer at Brunswick Street Baptist Church in Fredericton, New Brunswick mentored by Charles Millet, he plans to build Christian networks and boldly shine his light outward to reach others rather than hiding it within the church.
