Joe and Maria Vigil—married since 1989 with a combined 60 years of U.S. Army service—share how Jesus reshaped their marriage, their identity, and their purpose. From missiles overhead in Kuwait to walking the streets of Ephesus and Crete, from South America to Cambodia and the Philippines, their story moves from duty to discipleship: ordinary people saying “yes” to an extraordinary God. You’ll hear Maria’s mother’s hard-won wisdom—“Don’t label yourself; believe what God says about you”—Joe’s candid salvation moment in a Virginia church balcony, and the couple’s conviction that mission isn’t a trip; it’s a lifestyle. Together we explore stretching beyond comfort, carrying the Kingdom into everyday places (clinics, classrooms, base housing), and why kindness should be paired with the clear Gospel. If you don’t yet know Jesus, this conversation ends with a heartfelt invitation to meet Him. (Learn more at gofaithstrong.com → “How to be saved.”)
