I couldn’t be more excited to have Sarah back with me for another episode of the podcast. Sarah joined me last season for the round table discussion and again on our faith based episode of Where is God in the Dark Places. Sarah is married to a SWAT officer and she shares some of what she wishes she would have known in her early days as a newly married LEO wife. Any job can “change you” and the service profession can definitely have an impact on a person’s way of handling life, kids, other people, and even our marriage. But in this conversation, Sarah shares how she has learned to embrace some of those changes as strengths and which have become an area she and her husband can work around or talk through if needed.

Brief 02: The Rhetoric of Lethality
The vocabulary of and toward the military has narrowed to a single attribute — and the person who carries it has been edited out.
Maximum lethality. Hunt, and kill. Without mercy. None of it is wrong — they are warfighters. But this brief traces where that register has worked, where it has failed, and what it asks of the people who must live inside it.
Brief 01: Follow the Money: The Warrior Ethos, Redefined
The FY2027 $350 billion mandatory defense request, and what the Warrior Ethos banner funds now.
The language calls it the Warrior Ethos. The scope has changed. This brief walks through three connected shifts in 2026 — in words, money, and how the institution treats the people who sustain the force — and what they mean for military families.
