Is it easy being a military spouse? What kind of difficulties do spouses of those serving in the military face, and how can we help them? This week, Sharon Tedford chats with former military spouse, Kristi Woods, who experienced first-hand what it was like to be separated from her husband for long periods of time before he retired from the Navy. She knows the feeling of moving her whole family all over the country and learned to live through the transient nature of that lifestyle. Making friends and building community isn’t always easy when you get shuffled around, but Kristi found ways to do that. Kristi shares her wisdom with great generosity, including that for families still in the military; and also shares some great and very practical ways that we can all support military wives and husbands, military children and members of the wider family, too. A valuable conversation that will help us to reveal God to this particular section of society, especially at the time of year when remembrance commemorations take place.
