You didn’t sign up for this version of a military marriage: the moves, the silence, the stalled dreams. But what if the chaos isn’t wrecking your life, but reshaping it? This episode gets the grind—deployments, resentment, starting over—and speaks straight to the questions you’re too tired to ask. Beth Runkle, author of Another Move, God? 30 Encouragements to Embrace Your Life as a Military Wife, offers hard-won perspective that meets you where you live.

Faith and work collide in the places you actually live: locker rooms, Zoom calls, minivans, and fluorescent-lit offices where calling can feel like drudgery. Jordan Raynor joins Dave and Ann Wilson to blow up the sacred/secular divide, trace God’s first commission from Genesis 1 into your Monday grind, and show why changing diapers, running routes, closing deals, or pulling espresso shots can all be strategic, eternal work—without changing your job title.

Shame is a powerful, debilitating emotion that causes us to withdraw from others. Sometimes we even engage in self-destructive behavior to try to make up for it somehow. Chip helps us learn how to overcome the shame in our lives.

Blended families face unique battles: guilt-paralyzed bio parents, stepparents feeling threatened, ex-spouses overstepping. Ron Deal and Gayla Grace unpack traps that sabotage marriage and parenting—erase/replace mindsets, unilateral fixes, defensiveness—and show how co-parents can lean in, communicate intent, and send “no-threat” messages. When couples unite around kids, check in before ex-decisions, and prioritize long-term child good, hope, stability, and even transformation become possible.
