Description

Behind the men and women who serve our country and go on to become veterans are the family members who stay up nights praying, fill out mountains of endless paperwork, scour the internet researching experimental services and patiently love them back together again. If that’s you, we want to say welcome! We spotlight nonprofit organizations that provide guidance and resources, features veteran, spouse and caregivers’ stories using powerful storytelling, empower and educate veterans and caregivers by providing resources to navigate mental health and TBI-related issues and how faith in Jesus Christ can transform your life from the inside out. Join us weekly as we share our wisdom, learnings, and hearts for the spouses and families struggling to get ahead of the next episode, procedure, or silent night. Our mission is to educate, support, and advocate for veterans and their caregivers through mental health & biblical based programming to assist military families navigating the storms of life by anchoring their identity in Christ 🙏🏻We accomplish this using a series of educational and engaging podcasts aimed specifically for veterans and their families.
