[00:50] Benghazi Bravery & Healing for Military Families
Marine Corps veteran Mark Geist, a true American hero from the Benghazi annex security team, joins alongside his wife Krystal Geist. Mark shares how his faith in Christ helped him survive one of the most intense nights in modern military history, while Krystal opens up about founding Her Warrior Heart—a support network for military spouses and families. Together, they dive into the vital role of community, service dogs, and healing after trauma.

[13:10] Breaking Free from Fear & Stress
Prophetic minister and author Kathy DeGraw returns to share why 90% of illness stems from stress and anxiety—and how faith, prayer, and “retraining the brain” can set you free. Kathy’s own story of miraculous healing is proof that inviting the Holy Spirit into our healing journey changes everything. She offers practical, faith-based strategies to help listeners conquer fear and reclaim their health.

[25:27] Vaccine Choice & Building Your Healthcare Roundtable
Vaccine choice advocate Chris Downey explains why every parent needs more than one medical opinion when it comes to their children’s health. He talks about the power of a “healthcare roundtable”—gathering multiple trusted experts so parents can make the most informed choices. Chris breaks down practical tips for navigating vaccine decisions and early warning signs every parent should know.

[37:09] Bringing Creativity Back to Education
Award-winning author and educator Chad Stewart closes out the show with a look at creativity in today’s classrooms—and why it’s more essential than ever. From writing workshops to real-world entrepreneurial projects, Chad shares how “stealth education” and hands-on learning can transform young minds, ignite imagination, and foster critical thinking.
