You want to be open about your faith—but not that person. Pushy. Scripted. Weird. So you stay quiet. Meanwhile, life’s already full—kids’ games, long weekends, surface-level talk. What if sports evangelism didn’t feel like a setup? Heather Reddy, national women's soccer chaplain with Athletes in Action, gets the tension and offers a more natural way to connect—right where you already are, without forcing the moment.

Beth Runkle--author of Another Move, God? 30 Encouragements to Embrace Your Life as a Military Wife--knows being married in the military can feel like losing time, control, even your voice. When duty wins (again), what keeps your marriage from drifting? This episode steps into the tension: respect when it’s hard, staying connected when you’re apart, and quieting the mental spiral. It’s honest about the strain—and speaks to the part of you asking, “How do we not just survive this?”
