Skyler and JR have been married since 2009. But it hasn’t always been easy…
Skyler and JR’s story began long before deployments and podcasts—it began with two hearts joined by the providence of God in marriage two months before Skyler’s 2010 combat tour.
Since then, Skyler and JR have discovered that distance does not diminish love, and duty does not displace unity. Since coming to Christ, they’ve learned that it’s not about the absence of trials, but the presence of Christ; in the trenches and in the homecoming alike. Their journey invites you to see how faith holds a marriage together—and how a couple can become a mission.

Faith. Marriage.
Mission.

We’re Skyler and JR, a husband and wife living out three callings: One as children of a Holy God, one to each other in marriage, and one to service, either in the military, in the Army of God, or in both. Our story is one of distance and devotion — learning what it means to stay united in Christ even when deployment, duty, or life’s demands do all that they can to pull us apart.
Our podcast was born from our conviction that a threefold cord is not quickly broken (Ecclesiastes 4:12). Each episode invites listeners into honest conversations about love, leadership, separation, and spiritual endurance — all through the lens of a Christian worldview.
Our hope is simple: to encourage couples, military families, and believers to see that the gospel not only holds us together — it strengthens every bond, every battle, and every homecoming.
Faith. Marriage. Mission.
We hope you enjoy our podcast where our faith in our Lord and Savior, our marriage, and the military life are woven together by the gospel of Jesus Christ.
