87. The Beauty Of Marriage (BoBB)

Welcome to Episode 87 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
In this short Bits of Biblical Beauty (BoBB) episode, I talk about the beauty of marriage. Marriage doesn't seem to hold the high esteem it once did, and I think it's time to remember the beauty of marriage itself and not just the wedding day. This episode is dedicated to my daughter and my son-in-love in honor of their marriage.

84. From Foster Care to Thriving Marriage with Micaiah Gray

Welcome to Episode 84 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
Micaiah Gray did not see healthy marriages modeled in her life. She lived in a dysfunctional household for the first five years of her life. Then spent time in multiple foster care homes, and finally was adopted by a single mother.
I am not saying foster care is bad (though some is). I'm not saying single mothers are bad (most of us are not). But what I am saying is that most of the time, children do not get to see or learn what a healthy family is like, living in these situations.
And that was true for Micaiah. However, through some eventual training and help, she was able to forge a healthy marriage with her husband, and they now use their knowledge to help others.

80. Can You Find Peace in the Storm of Chronic Illness? with Maureen Pratt

Welcome to Episode 80 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
Chronic. Just the word alone implies little to no relief.
Whether it's chronic pain or chronic illness, it's something we'd all like to avoid, but honestly something most of us will deal with at some point in our lives.
Sometimes that will be a chronic condition within our own bodies and other times caring for a loved one.
Maureen's experience with the word 'chronic' started at a young age, but she used the opportunity to learn some valuable lessons. These lessons would serve her well when the word 'chronic' interrupted her life a few more times down the road. One of these times completely changed the trajectory of her life.
Tune in to learn how Maureen discovered peace in her storms and how she is now sharing that peace with others.

78. When a Loved One Crosses Boundaries & Creates Trauma with Miriam Susan

Welcome to Episode 78 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
In this week's episode, we are tackling a difficult topic; one we haven't discussed before.
Yes, all of our conversations are difficult stories. But I think this conversation is one most of us can relate to because crossing boundaries is something that happens regularly. Each of us has experienced a family member who has crossed the line at least once.
While you probably haven't experienced it at the level Miriam Susan has, something in her story will likely ring true for you.
Listen in and learn how Miriam Susan went from chaos to peace.
