About The Podcast
Veterans transitioning out of lengthy military careers find themselves particularly vulnerable to a variety of life struggles, including depression, addiction, and suicide. Eric Brew knows this firsthand—when his 25-year military career ended right as he was going through a second divorce, he came close to taking his own life. But with God’s help, he found his way back from the abyss, and today, as the Georgia head of the Warriors Set Free ministry, he’s helping other struggling vets do the same. This week Eric has a frank and enlightening conversation about his own struggles and how they guide his ministry work, as well as the challenges of parenthood, what he’s learned from his military service, and the need to understand the “voice and character” of the Lord.

The Freedom That Comes with Obeying God
Let’s face it, obedience isn’t a fun topic for most of us. Between an American ethos that prizes individualism and innovation, a culture that pushes indulgence, and a natural human desire to be free from control, we don’t like to feel compelled to follow anyone else’s rules. So how do we break down that resistance and embrace obedience to God? And how can we build in ourselves a desire to heed God’s word, rather than just doing so out of grudging obligation?
Forgiveness Is Messy…but It’s Worth It
Micah Davis has more experience with forgiveness than he probably ever wanted to have. The hurtful words spoken over him as a child that stuck with him throughout adolescence, the betrayals by both his father and his godfather, the family secrets that only came to light years later—all of them forced Micah to confront emotional pain at a relatively early age and weigh the cost of reconciliation.
From ESPN to a Leap of Faith
For 17 years Jason Romano had what many American men would consider a dream job: working at ESPN producing shows ranging from College Gameday to Monday Night Football broadcasts. So why did he leave it behind to make less money at a startup podcast? For Jason, it was simple: he realized he was drawing too much of his identity from work and not enough from Christ.
