1Corinthians 9:25 NIV "Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever".

November 11, 2021 Veterans Day Special!
In episode 6 we talk about our general experiences in the military and how those helped us transition into the civilian lifestyle. We also discuss some things mentally that military taught us that we still use today. We are passionate about strengthening our mental health and speaking on mental health with the hope that others can relate or benefit from it in any way. One of the ways I try to assist veterans specifically is through the platform I will link here: This app can help any veteran provide or receive support from another veteran or even active duty military member. We want everyone to know that someone loves you and the world would not be better off without you in it. We will also list some resources such as assistance hotlines to help out if you need them. Happy Veterans Day and God Bless!
