Episode 60: Ashlee Olbricht Leppert: The Veteran’s Hurricane
Description
Few stories capture both courage and surrender like that of Ashlee Olbricht Leppert—a U.S. Coast Guard veteran, author, and woman whose life reflects God’s power to redeem every storm. From rescuing victims during Hurricane Harvey—a mission that earned her recognition from President Donald Trump—to confronting her own battles with trauma, loss, and identity, Ashlee shares how God met her in the middle of her brokenness and transformed her pain into purpose.
Ashlee opens up about her 14 years of military service, her battle with PTSD, and the moment she surrendered everything to Christ in a raw and honest cry for healing. With refreshing transparency, she reminds listeners that God doesn’t ask us to clean up before coming to Him—He meets us exactly where we are, ready to restore what’s been shattered.
Through laughter, vulnerability, and truth, Kimberly and Ashlee explore the tension between identity and surrender, the beauty of discipleship, and how obedience unlocks true freedom. Whether you’ve faced your own “hurricane within” or are simply longing for peace, this conversation will leave you encouraged to trust God with your story—because He writes it better than we ever could.
