We continue our month long celebration of military women in history. 

This episode Planting Roots Deputy Director of Publishing, Kelli Baker is joined by special guest Tiffany Redden discussing minority women in the military.   The military system was not built for women, but more specifically for minority women. Even still, minority women have always found a way to create opportunities for themselves despite the challenges and obstacles they face.

Join Kelli and Tiffany as they share their unique experiences and how they saw the impact of the women that have paved the way for minority women serving our country today. 

"The purpose of women's history month is to pay homage to the ladies who came before us and educate everyone about the past and were we have come, and highlight where we are trying to go in the future."

When you look at what Jesus did to prepare for ministry it was two different things. It was resting, sleeping, and then also getting alone and praying with his Heavenly Father. Today the world tells us self care is reading a book or getting our nails done. But true soul care that will fill you up to pour out is time spent with the Father.

On this week episode of the "Deeply" Rooted Planting Roots Deputy Director of Publishing, Kelli Baker and Stephanie Ward the Deputy Director of Community Team dig into how to develop healthy boundaries and how to balance them in our day to day military lives.  

Megan Rivera digs deeper into this topic this week on our "Faith Full Friday" blog.
