In WSCC Campus Ministries’ Ratio Christi group (apologetics group) today-
My students had asked to learn more about Islam and how to have a biblical response, so we tackled it. I love having a white board to draw on as I teach.

Crosswinds Foundation for Faith and Culture Chris Turner
Tina Hargett and Tom Anderson co-host the The Take it Back Show on the IQ Podcasts Network. She talked with me about the military and why she is supporting Chris Turner, The Department of Tennessee, Veterans of Foreign Wars, VFW and Crosswinds Foundation for Faith and Culture for the launch of The Freedom Tour.

Tina is an award winnig, talented artist ,singer, and podcaster, and is using her gifts to support The Freedom Tour launch at Bold Patriot Brewing Company. The Freedom Tour is going to be a way to engage with Veterans and the people who support us by offering fellowship, comradery, and a means to help those dealing with PTSD and Moral Injury.

Tina heard about The Freedom Tour and along with Tom Anderson wanted to support the work. This has been amazing to see people like Tina want to come and support something from the ground up. Thank you for talking with me.

I am thankful for my sponsors Joyce Asack of Asack Real Estate (http://www.asackrealestate.com/) and Mark Holmes of Reaper Detailing and Powerwashing (https://www.facebook.com/reapersdetai...) for their support of America's Military and Veterans. Shaun Shubert who owns Red Seal Martial Arts (www.redsealma.com) supports Veterans and can get you into fighting shape.

The question I asked myself is what hasn’t Tom Anderson done? US Army, US Air National Guard, firefighter, writer, actor, movies, books, podcasts, there does not seem to be anything else he can do. Or is there?

I met Tommy through Danielle Datilio Rocco who does Devoted to Soldier. Coach Dani told me that Tommy was coming to the launch of the Freedom Tour on April 30th at Bold Patriot Brewing Company in Nashville, TN.

Tommy was also going to use the profits of his newest book Two Million Steps to support the Tennessee VFW, Crosswinds Foundation for Faith and Culture, and the VFW’s Freedom Tour. Set in the Civil War, it is story about a unit from Wisconsin as they go through that time in our history.

The Freedom Tour comprises Marine Veteran Chris Turner(christurnermusic.com) performing at VFWs in Tennessee. During the concert, the Crosswinds Foundation (http://crosswindsfoundation.org/)is going to present their Warrior Hope curriculum. I have taken this class, and it is proving to be an effective way to help someone without hope. This is all being done with the support from the Department of Tennessee, Veterans of Foreign Wars, VFW.

Tommy wanted to get involved. He is going to be at the Bold Patriot Event April 30th and wants to talk with people who are coming to listen to Chris and his band. He believes everyone can do something to help Veterans and each other.

Two Million Steps is available on Amazon, and Barnes and Noble. I look forward to meeting you Tommy, thank you all that you do. What’s next😉
Friday Apr 30 at Bold Patriot Institute is going to be lit 🔥!! Hope to see y’all there for 50/50 Raffle and Silent Auction!!

Connecting People Where Faith and Culture Intersect

Our nation has discovered that cultural shifts can impede, and in some cases dramatically alter the traditional beliefs and moral principles that were foundational to the fabric of our society. The impact is felt in many arenas, including: the family, education, government, and matters of faith and spirituality. They can also create wonderful conversations among those who hold diverse beliefs, especially regarding matters of faith and/or spirituality.

As a warrior, your strength is not measured by the battles you've won, but by your unwavering willingness to keep fighting, no matter how tough the fight may be.

If you're struggling with war-related trauma, know that you are not alone and that every step you take toward healing is a victory.

It takes incredible courage to face the scars of war, but you possess that courage within you.

Keep pushing forward, fighting, and know there is hope and healing on the other side. You've got this! 💪🙌

Sometimes, well-intended deeds have bad outcomes.

We often assume— as it pertains to military service— that only combat veterans can develop PTSD or Moral Injury. Turns out, anyone who serves can.

💔 Many times this occurs because of what we do or so— even not in combat.

💔 Many times it takes the form of survivor’s guilt.

💔Many times it looks like questions and doubts about things that happened….

In this episode we talk about non-combat-related trauma….

https://www.warriorhope.online/podcasts/warrior-hope/episodes/2147970146

10/27/2023

Experts generally agree there are four broad categories of symptoms that help them to recognize and diagnose PTSD properly.

(Note: you can experience multiple symptoms concurrently.)

💔 #1- Hyper-vigilance—
.. can’t relax and has difficulty concentrating and sleeping. Everyday sounds, such as a car backfire or fireworks may cause anxiousness or even elicit a trained response, such as duck and roll. They may tend to sit with their back to the wall in public places in order to be aware of the environment before them.

💔 #2- Re-experiencing symptoms—
.. nightmares or flash backs where they feel like they are back in that traumatic situation. Certain sights or sounds may trigger these memories of that danger or stress.

💔 #3- Avoidance symptoms—
.. does whatever they can to avoid anything that reminds them of that trauma. They may want to avoid riding in a car, watching certain movies, or being around certain people— and avoid talking and even thinking about the hurtful memories.

💔 #4- Negative feelings—
.. may be extremely depressed, have angry outbursts, or just can’t control their emotions. They may be fearful of others or are not able to trust other people.

👇

You might read those four points and think, “Those responses seem fairly common.”

Turns out, they are.

Depending on this situation, you may have experienced each of these symptoms before. You might not hit the level of being diagnosable, but you can still be affected- and still see the need to walk in total health.

This is one of the reasons I advocate walking in health far more than I encourage seeking a diagnosis. Besides, a diagnosis means nothing if you don’t follow through with the intention to live healthy and whole.

Research shows that military service members who have experienced trauma, such as combat exposure or deployment-related stress, are at increased risk for developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental health conditions.

These conditions can significantly impact their daily life and relationships, sometimes leading to suicidal ideation.

It is essential to raise awareness about the mental health challenges veterans and military personnel face and encourage them to seek help when needed. With proper treatment and support, individuals with PTSD and other mental health conditions can recover and improve their quality of life.

Let us continue to support our heroes and break the stigma around mental health in the military community.

If anyone in your family suffers from PTSD or Moral Injury, everyone is...

Hope for the Warrior Family audiobook— the intro AND all 10 chapters.

www.WarriorHope.online/WFA



Bob Waldrep, the founder + Executive Director of Crosswinds, and I wrote the book back in 2020– just as the pandemic began. I remember sending files back and forth across email, as we talked through the contents via telephone.

At the time, I knew it was a good tool, but I had NO IDEA how helpful it could be for families seeking to overcome the hurts, pains, and “normal sorting life out” types of concerns associated with military service.

We decided to create the audiobook as we prep to release our documentary, Trauma Comes Home, later in July.

💔



In this book, you’ll learn—

✅ How the trauma that affects ONE person in the family actually touches them all

✅ How to understand PTSD and Moral Injury, AS WELL AS practical steps you can take to move forward

✅ Things you should say and should NOT say to a family member dealing with trauma

✅ How to “put your own oxygen mask on first” without being selfish or even self-focused

✅ Three steps to building an effective support system— a support TEAM— for the family, as well as what that team needs to be able to help you do

www.WarriorHope.online/WFA

🔥🔥🔥



The good news…

The audiobook is absolutely free.

There’s no upsell, no credit card info required…

Nothing.



Here's what I'm asking...

If you're a veteran (or ESPECIALLY have a veteran anywhere in your family, close circle of friends), access the free audiobook.

If the above doesn't apply to you, pass the link to someone who does...

Many times in the military you’re forced to do things that go against your conscience— and even do things that aren’t natural.

👉 Marching all night…

👉Standing watch for the inevitable…

👉Taking the life of another in order to protect the innocent.

Even though we can rationalize all of this— and “explain” that they are things that HAD to be done in order to help others, they still extract a toll…

Often, the invisible scars these experiences leave behind are DIFFERENT than PTSD (a response to an external event, or events, such that you can “fight or flight” it).

Rather, Moral Injury occurs…

… when we sense something “in here,” inside of us….

When the threat is OUTSIDE of you, it’s sometimes hard to handle it, but you can address it. You can move away from it.

But when the threat is INSIDE of you…

… well, you know the saying, “Wherever you go, there you are…”

15 years ago we launched a then-new nonprofit, designed-- in part-- to engage in some of the conversations in culture that mean the most-- from a standpoint of building your faith and helping you move forward...

Since then, we've...

👉 helped shepherd a team that provides counseling + coaching for marriage

👉 expanded our library of foundational faith and apologetic resources, helping you know the certainty of where to go Scripturally in a world that keeps bringing up so many contrary ideas

👉 created resources for veterans and their families about PTSD, Moral Injury, and more-- including books, 3 documentaries...

Last week we had the opportunity to join the men at Grace Community / Deerfoot... a church that has been with us from the beginning.

We were reminded, yet again, that every time we touch someone with one of our resources, there are untold heroes behind us, making the magic happen.

10/16/2023

You can’t diagnose every issue that you need to address…

… because some of the stuff you need to take care of isn’t diagnosable.

For instance—

⚙️ you may not be obese, but you might could stand to drop a few pounds.

⚙️ you might not have diabetes, but you might could stand to change-up up the diet and ingest less sugar

⚙️ you might not have a sleeping disorder, but you might could stand to get some more rest in the evening and benefit from a bedtime routine…

You get the idea.

Just because someone isn’t “totally broken” doesn’t mean it wouldn’t benefit from some repair and/or attention.

This is true in our emotional life, as well.

The truth is that we all carry baggage, we all read the present through the lenses of the past, and we all react in “not the best ways” sometimes.

That’s the subject of episode 7 of this season’s Warrior Hope podcast.

https://www.warriorhope.online/podcasts/warrior-hope/episodes/2147970144

From the opening of our newest film, Trauma Comes Home…

Father Ed, a dear friend of us, experienced a unique ride home from Vietnam.

Flashback to training in Ohio…

At Berachah Church (read: Place of Blessing)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A few times during the teaching we “cut short” and had Chris (background) come up, talk, and grab the guitar…

Cooper, his son, joined him.

💙

The reason?

People connect with stories… and songs…

And, whereas the concepts we teach and the books we write and the courses we share provide tools and training…

… we still need people.

When you define a warrior, do you take into account factors such as their gender, branch of service, rank, or combat experience?

Or do you focus on the traits that unite all who have served or are currently serving in the military?

10/03/2023

Our warriors deserve better than to come home and continue to fight a battle.

💔

They need support and guidance to transition from combat to civilian life. As one soldier said, "We are the best military in the world in preparing our soldiers for combat. But, we have a long way to go in helping them know how to come home."

🙏

Many veterans struggle with broken families, lost jobs, financial hardship, and the emotional trauma of deployment. It's no wonder that 22 veterans take their own lives every day.

😢

But there is hope.

At the Center of Hope, veterans can find the support they need to heal and rebuild their lives. 💪

Tag a veteran or military family member who could use a helping hand and let them know they are not alone. 🤗 Together, we can make a difference.

10/02/2023

Diagnosing emotional stuff is (sometimes) hard, because…

👉 we each respond to hurts in different ways

👉 we bring different pasts to the event— baggage that already weighs us down differently

👉 it’s part art and part science to sort it all

But, there are some objective questions we can ask and begin the process of exploration. And, whereas we don’t want to “invent” an issue that doesn’t exist, we do want to process the pains that actually ARE there, so we live our true purpose instead of “living out” of unhealed hurts.

💙

In episodes 6 & 7 of this season in the Warrior Hope podcast we talk about how to know— unofficially— if you or someone you know might be struggling with PTSD.

Here’s the scoop—

It takes more energy to run than it does to turn and face the thing you’re running from.
Many times, the bravest thing… which then turns into the easiest thing- is to turn and face what your’e running from.

“Get over it!”

You might have heard someone say that to you before. In fact, you might have even dispensed that advice yourself.

👀

But do you really “get over” certain losses, or do you grieve them, heal the hurts, allow them to become sacred parts of your story, and get THROUGH them…

… changed for the better (while still honoring and holding the loss in tension) and empowered to help others on the same journey…?

In this short video, Jim Mukoyama and Bob Waldrep talk about Moral Injury— and the cure.
Moral Injury is different than PTSD. A close counterpart, MI deals with guilt & shame… and a sense of remorse or regret for what has been experienced or what was done.
As you can imagine…
Warriors often see— and because of their duty to protect others— do things that “go against” their internal moral compass.
In this video the two men discuss the issue…

It’s hard to have faith when you’re in a tough season…

But…

Super important…

🎯 Don’t judge your story by one page, by one chapter, or even by an entire section of your Book of Life- you’re still writing.

We’re far more complicated than the raw material and seemingly random episodes of our lives. There’s still more to be written.

And, we’ve watched enough movies, seen enough plot twists and turns, to know that often when things seem their worst is precisely when you’re about to see the biggest (often, from out of nowhere) breakthrough.

My Brit-friend David Robinson says, “Do not judge my story by the chapter you walked in on.”

Indeed.

📚More pages to be written…

📚More character development to come…

📚More CHARACTERS to be introduced…

📚More lessons to be learned…

📚And more great reveals.

Yes, the story is still be written, right?.

🎯 And, no, the previous chapters of your story don’t excuse you, but they does explain you. And some of the greatest explanation about you to you comes when you embrace where you are, flip the page, and begin writing from here to there, whatever there is.

Besides, everyone loves a comeback.

Have faith. Yours is coming.

09/18/2023

We’ve got a knack for “underplaying” what we’ve been through and over-playing what others have endured.

We don’t need to play the comparison game, though…

Trauma is trauma is trauma is… regardless of where it came from.

🔥

The best approach?

Rather than comparing the origin stories of each, rally together and walk towards healing and wholeness.

We may have uncommon beginnings, but we can seek a common solution.

Father Ed is one of the warriors we interviewed for Trauma Comes Home.

In the film he tells his story about—

💔 being the only living passenger en route from Vietnam to the US

💔 getting strip-searched upon arrival back home by border patrol— for fear he was smuggling drugs

💔 being asked awkward questions at home

💔 “living out” his trauma instead of walking in healing

That was just a chapter, though. A painful, long one…

… but a chapter.

Never judge the entire story by the page you’re on— or even the PAGES you seem to be clumbering through.

Been through a tough seasons, hard scenario, or difficult circumstance and wondered, "What's wrong with me?" on the other side of it...?

You're not flawed. It's natural to feel like the wind got knocked out of you when you get punched hard.

💔

In this episode of the Warrior Hope podcast we discuss combat trauma specifically, and note that— yes— going outside the wire changes people. In fact, it would be LESS normal to NOT be affected that it is to be affected…

09/05/2023

In Episode 2 of this season's podcast, we talk about PTSD-- a common occurrence when we find ourselves reacting to external events in the present "as if" we're still in the past.

Yes, it's common.

What's uncommon is the diagnosis (and it should be uncommon).



In this talk we go back to the basics and describe what PTSD is, where it comes from, and how we can ALL benefit from "not reacting" but responding instead in a healthy way-- especially when we face issues that "trigger" our emotions.

It’s hard to walk in your purpose— and reach your full potential— when you’re still clinging to the hurts of the past.

And…

It’s almost impossible to grab hold of the future while entangled in past pain.

Here's a path forward…

Things can change fast…

… even in a non-combat situation.

(Or, anywhere in life, for that matter.)

💔

If you’ve seen the screening of or been to one of our shows, you’ll recognize Chris…

Here’s something to remember:

When you face something difficult, your feelings don’t just show you “what’s wrong” with you— they highlight what’s RIGHT.

It’s “less normal” to NOT be affected by hard things that it is to be affected by them…

So, when you face something difficult and feel pressure…

… affirm the pain.

But don’t feel that you’re flawed.
