In this episode, I sat down with three close friends—Zack Brown,
Kasey Brown, and PJ Kratohvil—all veterans who served overseas in
the Army and Marines. We unpack what life in the military gave
them, what it took, and how faith became the thread that started
to stitch them back together. From life growing up to the trauma
of combat, and from isolation to post-traumatic growth, this
conversation is raw, redemptive, and real. If you’ve ever
wondered how to care well for the veterans in your life—or if
you're a veteran yourself looking for hope—this one’s for you.

Communio
Communio is not another program. It’s a non-profit organization
that comes alongside churches, training and equipping them to
evangelize through the renewal of healthy relationships,
marriages, and the family. Family structure is key for passing on
faith to children, yet 72 percent of churches lack significant
relationship ministry. That’s where Communio comes in. Communio
has worked with hundreds of churches across the country. These
churches have seen divorce rates drop – attendance rise – weekly
generosity increase – and marriage and family bonds
restored.
Visit: communio.org/overcomers
to learn more about the Communio impact and how Communio can come
alongside your church.
