Episode 2, Season 4

What happens when a veteran, a military spouse, and a first responder spouse sit down and talk about life together?  

I often get asked, do we really have that much in common?  Why would I have a podcast where I address the needs of both military and first responders?  Because we have a whole lot more in common than you think.

In this episode, I bring Ashley and Sarah on the podcast to talk about our different worlds and we would love for you to join us. 

Sarah is a first responder spouse, whose husband is now on the local SWAT team.  She brings authenticity and humor that will brighten anyone's day.  

Ashley, calling in from Italy, is a veteran herself by has retired and is now a military spouse.  For those who don't know, we call that a dual service family.  She brings a perspective that all of use should pay attention to.

Grab a cup of coffee or tea and pretend you are sitting at the table with us.  You will definitely be changed by this conversation.

Listen in to the Season 4 FINALE with a big question that likely everyone has asked... "Who is really in Charge?"  Is it man?  Is it God?  When does God get in involved?  Why doesn't he?  Perhaps you are waiting on orders to your next assignment (like we are) and wondering if the people involved are listening to God.  Or maybe you are praying for a promotion or for your spouse to turn back to God.  Some of you may have even experienced abuse at the hands of someone else and are wondering, "Why didn't God intervene?"  In this Sunday Special, I open up on my own journey to look into the Sovereignty of God and tackle these big questions by diving into what scripture says about it.

Season 7 might be over, but we are bringing back the Top 10 most listened-to episodes in Lifegiver Podcast History! 

In this episode, we are talking about the importance of Timing and Tact with our emotions and words.  Whether you are in conflict with you spouse, in a leadership position, or even a public advocate.  Especially military spouses feel at times like their voice is limited and that any complaints can come across as being a negative spouse.  The truth is, we have a right to our feelings and opinions but have great responsibility in how we express them.  Rather than become passive or perhaps worse- aggressive- we can learn to be more assertive in kindness and love.  But... also with the right timing and tact.  Listen in as I give examples and practical tips on how to be more confident with the amazing influence you have in your marriage, parenting, and in the world.

Season 7 might be over, but we are bringing back the Top 10 most listened-to episodes in Lifegiver Podcast History!

In this episode from Season 4, I'll talk about the results of a spouse survey I created that went viral.  Almost 750 spouses told me how they are REALLY doing and it turns out...

I wasn't surprised that we are struggling as a community. Many of you aren't doing well and you aren't talking about it.  In fact, many are burned out, exhausted, and borderline resentful.  So in this episode, we are going to get honest about that.

But there are some of you who are really doing great.  So what is the difference?  Take a listen to find out where you fall with other spouses in the community.  Perhaps you need some encouragement from others who are figuring out how to balance it all or maybe you have a lot more to offer than you thought...

It's time to breathe life into our family- the community family as well.
