You’re still that warrior (Warrior Hope Podcast)

Season 2 of the Warrior Hope podcast rolls out today…

The project comes from Crosswinds Foundation for Faith & Culture, where my friend Bob Waldrep spearheads the team.

Crosswinds was founded in early 2008 (by Bob) to create a resource center for individuals and organizations impacted by emerging cultural trend, using a variety of means-- including workshops, film, and publishing. 

It became apparent that the first full-length feature needed to focus on a documentary aimed at helping military personnel who were suffering mental and emotional trauma such as PTSD as a result of their deployment, combat experience, or separation from family members who had been deployed. 

Centers for Hope (which uses the Warrior Hope curriculum) is the result of a Crosswinds’ film projects. The films created conversations which facilitated relationships, including support groups and other efforts. 

What’s the podcast about?

In episode #1 of the new season I discuss it…  

✅ We connect veterans to their next mission 

✅ The most common obstacles we see are 1) isolation and 2) unresolved hurts / unprocessed pain of the past

✅ Finding that next mission matters because 1) you have a purpose, and 2) there are people who are going the affected (for the good!) by you living that mission

✅ Those people include your family, your friends, and fellow service members…

The take-ways from this week’s talk = 

👉 You’ve got skills.  

Warrior training is the best on the planet. Everyone tries to mimic it— from athletes to business school. You have it, and the training still works— for all areas of life.

👉 The clothes don’t make the man (or woman).

It works the other way.

 So you took off the uniform. 

No problem. The uniform was important, but not as valuable as you.

👉 Now, you choose the mission. 

When you were in the service, you were told what to do— and served with honor. 

Now, you get to decide where you’ll exert that honor….
