🥾 Two Marine mustangs and former staff noncommissioned officers walk into The Vault…
But there’s no rank. No ego. Just heart, history, and the kind of friendship forged through fire.

🎙️ This week on Off the Hinges, I’m joined by my good friend and fellow Marine officer, Bry—a woman whose strength humbles me and whose faith reminds me that even in the valley, we are never alone.

🕊️ We recorded this—the 22nd episode of Off the Hinges—on what would’ve been my dad’s 67th birthday. Neither the number nor the date were lost on us. What brought Bry and me together wasn’t a billet or a battlefield, but the kind of pain that carves deep and demands endurance. Both of us have lost someone we love to suicide. And in that shared sorrow, we’ve found a bond anchored in grace, grit, and the will to keep going.

💡 In this conversation, we unpack Endurance—not as a buzzword or a bravado act, but as a virtue. A quiet, fierce, faithful choice to keep showing up, even when life knocks you flat.

💬 We talk about what it means to suffer patiently, to lean on each other without shame, and to laugh without apology—because joy and sorrow can (and should) share space in a life worth living.

🎧 You don’t need to be a Marine to listen—but you might leave with two things that’ll help you endure the next step: tougher spiritual feet and a softer heart.
