Caring for Military Families
Life in the military, whether you're a serviceperson or a family member, carries a unique weight and stress. As Veterans Day approaches, how can we show genuine love and care for the men and women serving our country? On the next Equipped, Chaplain Charles Causey joins guest host Collin Lambert to give us practical ways to love our neighbors in the armed forces. Hear how God is working among those in the military when you join us for Equipped!
