Scripture for Warriors in Need
The warrior’s life is difficult to understand if you haven’t lived it, and difficult to live with if you have. The God Understands series doesn’t hold back on the strengths or the struggles, and it offers God’s hope, wisdom, and peace for warriors in need.

ABOUT GOD
UNDERSTANDS
Defending this nation as a member of the American military is the ultimate act of servant leadership. It’s a warrior’s job, performed by men and women who choose to step into the breach and risk everything for our freedom, our way of life, and the fellow warrior standing beside them. Serving is an honor, but it’s also a costly profession.
God Understands is a place to begin processing the weight of that cost. We offer stories of Veterans and Military members who’ve been through the worst of it and have come out the other side meaningfully healed. We also offer Scripture that connects directly to the specific issues our Veterans and Military members are dealing with now.
