あらすじ・解説
Hi everyone! Thank you for being here. Each week, I cover hot spots and critical threats that might affect our country, as well as keep you informed about our military. I end each show by sharing some scripture from the Bible (without being too pushy), and then talk about PTSD and depression (since life is hard and the veteran suicide rate is FAR too high). My hope is you end each show better informed, less worried, and more optimistic (about both our country and your life).Also, huge shout out to those of you whose paid subscriptions make it possible for me to devote time and resources to researching and compiling the news each week.

Austin III on Ukraine's Fight for Freedom Austin Confirms North Korea Has Sent Troops to RussiaYour reminder for the week, in case you duck the scripture in the next part: Be a part of community, if nothing else. Your scripture for the week:Let’s end the show with some scripture, because I know that life is hard and sometimes, you just need to hear something that will lift you up.I always like to share some verses from the Bible, or quotes that touch on the Bible/Jesus, because my Christian faith has become such a source of strength and wisdom and calm for me during the past couple of years, since losing my Mom and now worrying an awful lot about my Dad and his serious memory problems. I’m betting you have something really challenging going on in your life, as well. (And if you don’t, I can guarantee it’s coming. That’s how life goes.) So, I hope by sharing some of these, it might encourage you to get into the Bible yourself. Because I think it’ll change your life, if you let it. As a final scripture reminder, do not grow weary in doing good. Even if you’re just helping one hungry kid or donating one school backpack, that might not solve world hunger or fix everything in our country (or your neighborhood), but you are doing good. So, don’t feel overwhelmed by the size of the world’s problems. And as I said in the podcast, I did launch a new podcast that focuses solely on faith. You can find it below. The final thing that I want to do is something I do in every show. I want to talk to you just for a moment about depression, PTSD, and even suicide for just a moment.I do this because veterans are at 57% higher risk of suicide than their peers of the same age group of folks who haven’t served. But this section isn’t just for veterans. I know we can all get in really low spots in our lives so I just want to remind people that it’s a season. It’s a valley. So when you’re in that thick, deep, tough situation that just seems like you can’t see over it, just remember it. It’s just a season. It’s just a valley, like I said.Now, if you are having serious issues, you can call 988 and select 1 and you can talk to a crisis-line responder anytime day or night. And you can do this whether you’re a civilian or a veteran, but I do know that this is hard to do and I know most of you who are struggling probably won’t do so. As such, I have to be a little mean here because the fact is is when we’ve had a drill instructor or a tough coach in the ...
