Stephanie Daniels welcomes married couple Cedric and Michelle White to the podcast. Both pastors, authors, and counselors, Cedric and Michelle work together in ministry strengthening families through biblical counseling and coaching. They also understand firsthand the struggles that many Veteran families face—including PTSD and moral injury—through Cedric’s experience serving with the U.S. Navy. This Christ-centered couple shares about the journey that led them to care deeply for Veteran families. They will also give you encouragement and tips to help you and your church come alongside military families who may be struggling to find hope, healing, and belonging within the body of Christ.

If you or someone in your family is a U.S. Veteran or currently serving in the military, Joni and Friends would love to welcome and honor you at a Warrior Getaway!

Our Warrior Getaways are designed to serve our American servicemen and women who have visible and invisible injuries as a result of military service. Veterans, along with their families, are provided a safe space for respite, spiritual renewal, and healing. Families experience fellowship with others facing similar challenges, and find new hope in Christ. Come enjoy a wide range of accessible family activities, powerful speakers, counseling opportunities, and time in God’s Word.
