Here’s the second installment of
the study of my book, You Are Not Alone: Encouragement for the
Heart of a Military Spouse, that we’ve been doing in the
Christian Military Spouse Facebook group. As mentioned on the last
episode, I decided to share the audio from my talks there on the
podcast, and this is the week 2 study covering readings
5-7.

If you have the first edition from 2016, that will work fine too!
We're covering the themes of comparisons, discontentment with military life, and admitting when we need help. Sometimes military spouses need the reminder that we don’t get a medal for being the toughest and doing everything on our own! Another pitfall can be comparing our situation to our civilian friends and family and wishing we had it differently. We’re going to talk about not comparing, ways to cultivate contentment, and the importance of not struggling alone and finding that community we all need.
Common question: Do you have to be religious to read this book?
While this book is written from the perspective of faith, I think there is so much that pertains to any military spouse!
