What if your greatest wounds could become your greatest teachers?

In this episode of The Better Together Podcast, we sit down with pastor, veteran, executive coach, and author Tony Miltenberger to talk about his upcoming book Wisdom in the Wound (releasing September 23, 2025). Tony shares how pain, failure, and disappointment aren’t detours—they can be sacred starting points for transformation.

Drawing from his own story—military deployments, ministry moments, and family life—Tony invites us to embrace our emotional edges and examine the hidden impact of unhealed wounds, especially in leadership. We discuss how healing doesn’t mean hiding, the cost of numbing, and what self-awareness really looks like in a world that prefers pretending.

Whether you're a leader, a pastor, or someone trying to make sense of your past, this conversation offers clarity, courage, and hope.

You’ll hear:

• The heart behind The Sabbath Life
• How to resist hustle culture and embrace sacred rest

• The surprising ways God meets us when we stop striving
