We're continuing our Hard is Hard series this week with ministry co-founder, K'Lee Reynolds and therapist, Gennifer Leach. This series is all about the practical application of approaching our lives and marriages with the Biblical worldview God has established to equip us to thrive!

Join us on this 3-part series with our ministry co-founder, K'Lee, alongside her good friend and licensed therapist, Gennifer Leach, as they chat through the tough parts of this military life and discuss practical ways to overcome.

On this first episode they discuss self-care and not the target and Starbucks run we may be thinking of! Self-Care through the lens of Jesus shows us we cannot fix what we don't realize needs attention. From body scans, soaking ourselves in Truth, tune in to find out how awareness of the right things leads to our own transformation with the help of the Holy Spirit.

Tension in your shoulders, snapping at the kids, a sense of being “over it”, hiding in your phone. We’ve been there, military wife. You’re overwhelmed and your body feels it and your family can sense it. But, there is hope. God did not intend for you to be in a state of constant stress and anxiousness.

On our latest episode of Hope on the Homefront we get to chat with fellow military wife, Rachel Yorgey, an HFH volunteer, as she talks with Co-founder April Griffin about triggers. What are they? Where do they come from? How do we handle them?

As believers in Christ, the way we deal with our triggers should look radically different from those that have no hope in the Lord. That is a tall order, and one we cannot do it on our own accord. We must invite God in to reveal where we are struggling, why we are struggling and understand the refuge He is in times of stress.

We know you’ll be encouraged by this conversation about military life, our spouses, and our kids. Plus, you’ll hear some practical ways we’ve learned to respond to these triggers in Biblical way rather than just reacting to them in a way we’ll regret later.

Listen in to April Griffin, co- founder and President of HFH ministries, as she talks about some big feelings that military life can bring up. Sometimes it isn't a deployment or moving that brings these feelings out, it can be something simple that has us overwhelmed with emotion:

Disappointment over orders you prayed you wouldn’t get.

Overwhelmed when you’re alone again.

Anger when the military didn’t do what they should have done.

Well, good news, military wife: you’re not alone and God can handle your big feelings.

You don’t have to hide in shame, but you also don’t have to be consumed by your feelings. They’re real, but they’re not always right and we’re sharing the truths that help us keep Jesus at the center of everything.

April shares how God wants us to handle these feelings. After all God made us with emotions and wants us to feel them too!

No matter what the world becomes or where this military life takes us, we are never without hope, and we forever have a reason to rejoice. If you need a moment to quiet your fears and rest in the presence of our good God, join us for this special episode celebrating the hope we have in our resurrected king, Jesus Christ!

Have you ever wondered what the words Holy Spirit mean? How do I know it is in me? or maybe, What does the Holy Spirit feel like? If we are honest, we probably have all had questions like this, or maybe still do. Listen in as co-founder of HFH ministries K'Lee speaks to you, military wife, more about the Holy Spirit and the freedom only it can bring.

Solo-parenting is one the of most challenge parts of military life, but there is hope! Homefront Heroes Co-founder and fellow military wife, Ashlee Beasley, shares about the hard parts of solo-parenting and what The Lord has taught her along the way. This isn't an episode about being a perfect Mom, but we do hope you leave feeling encouraged and equipped for your next season of solo-parenting!

After our episode on military marriage, we received many messages of military wives in the trenches of heartbreak. If you’ve found yourself in the valley of discouragement, this episode is for you!
