    S1:E33 The Revivalists - Conversation about Moral Injury and the Southern Baptist Convention

    This week, Darrell and Eva pivot from our regularly scheduled discussion on Genesis, Chapter 46 (which we will resume next week) to address recent developments within the Southern Baptist Convention regarding its decision to divert from allowing female leaders and pastors. Both of us have followed the conversation across social media, and what we’re witnessing is a wave of moral injury fallout — not only from the SBC’s announcement but also from the Department of Defense’s reported move to remove women from combat and senior leadership roles. For many women, this news feels deeply troubling. We have watched decades of progress in the military, ministry, and across our culture, and now we find ourselves questioning what the future holds. The moral injury here is profound — it challenges our sense of equality and the belief that we have moved forward as women standing shoulder‑to‑shoulder with men. We grew up watching films like G.I. Jane and series like MASH*, stories that reflected women stepping into hard, demanding roles and embracing the full weight of those responsibilities. Today, that progress feels uncertain, and the emotional and spiritual dissonance is difficult to reconcile. Now what? How does that make us feel?  How do you feel about these changes? Are there moral injury aspects that you are feeling right now? If so, please share.  #moralinjury #moralhealing #moralrecovery #veterans #veteranhealing #veteranpodcast

    S1:E32 The Revivalists - Genesis Chapter 45

    This week Eva starts out solo until Darrell joins later in the show. In full transparency, I was not feeling well due to my chronic migraine headaches. Somehow, in prayer and pushing through, the headache gradually fades. This is military injury in action - that the Revivalists mission must continue no matter how we feel.  Joseph and his story with his family is no different. As much as I wanted to cry in pain, Joseph finally is able to break through his own moral injury and announce who he is to his brothers - and cry. He offers words of comfort instead of belittling them for what they did to him. He shares that it was for God's good that these things happened. He cried so loud the Egyptians could hear and ran to Pharaoh's staff and told them. Knowing the dire situation of the ensuing famine, Joseph prepares to relocate his family to Egypt where they could live in comfort rather than destitute and hungry. Pharaoh ups the ante and sends carts as well as nourishment to get them to come to Egypt. Jacob at first is in disbelief but then relents and acknowledges the opportunity.  In the moral injury healing and recovery realm of things, how many of us want to remain that ever vigilant victim rather than seeing the good that comes from our pain. If we instead use our empathetic hearts and find forgiveness and then that is when we start find healing in what could otherwise be a lifelong injury. There are harms even in our own systems where we often find ourselves educating others that women served in the military. Eva shared her recent experience where she had to educate a medical provider about women in the military. We also covered a renewed issue  in the news today about the Southern Baptist Convention that led to a discussion about women serving in pastoral or leadership roles.

    S2:E17 - From Pain to Purpose - Leroy Pinckney Jr.

    This week Leroy Pinckney Jr joins me in a real conversation. This weekend as we are honoring our fallen - I open with a real conversation and discussion about people in my life (in my people garden) - the names that we shall not forget. This show is dedicated to Kiara Williams of the Smiles Show who we lost this week. I started out as her co-host for several months a couple of years ago at like 430am or some crazy time like that. We laughed, she snorted, we prayed, we had fun and I drank coffee. Kiara, you were an incredible person and I will definitely miss you!  I then told the story about my Uncle Bethel, a Vietnam Veteran, who came back and became homeless. Lost on the streets of the US with periodic visits to our home where after a much needed shower, Momma would cut his hair and beard while the laundry got done. He carried his duffel bag with his stuff in it. That's all he had. He'd stay a little while and off he'd go.  Leroy announced the loss of his job in March on LinkedIn. I started following him. I watched how he did not lean into being a victim. Instead, he found the lion inside - "Lead Like a Lion" and pivoting with consulting for leaders. Leroy definitely has a story to tell and this is just the beginning. Follow him on LinkedIn and lean into his leadership message.  Finishing out the episode I shared my study link for Female Combat Veterans in North Texas and San Antonio areas to participate in. I need your help please! We need to share our voices and this is how we do it via a study!  Oh, and I'm returning to Texas!!! See ya'll soon!
