Welcome back to Home Base Nation! This is our sixth episode in a series where we talk with some of the folks at Home Base who wake up every day with the same mission in mind, regardless of their role at the Center of Excellence in the Navy Yard and beyond. Over the next several weeks, we will share the staff conversations I had with some of the hardworking professionals at Home Base who help treat the invisible wounds of veterans and military families. We have published 120 episodes since 2019. For this new season, we thought it would be a good idea to look back on some of the highlights of our conversations and select 20 episodes that resonated with veterans, service members, military families, and the civilians who support them.But first up, you'll hear from some of the folks at Home Base who wake up every day with the same mission in mind, no matter what they do at the Center of Excellence in the Navy Yard and beyond. For this episode, you will hear a brief conversation with Grace O'Halloran, a Speech Language Pathologist on the Brain Health Team at Home Base. A University of New Hampshire graduate, Grace earned her Master's in Speech-Language Pathology in 2023 at the MGH Institute of Health Professions.Following my conversation with Grace, you'll hear one of our first episodes on the show featuring Marine Veteran Kirstie Ennis. In her second deployment to Afghanistan in June 2012, Kirstie sustained polytraumatic injuries from a helicopter crash, including traumatic brain injury, facial and spine injuries, and leg trauma that eventually left her with an amputation above the knee.After being injured overseas, Kirstie went on to become a Paralympian snowboarder, a proud contestant at Prince Harry's 2016 Invictus Games, a Pat Tillman Awardee for Service, and a member of a Veteran team on a 1,000-mile trek across Great Britain with the organization Walking With The Wounded.She continues to push herself every day while giving back to others through mountaineering and world travel. Since 2016, Kirstie set out to climb the Seven Summits (the highest peaks on every continent) and has so far climbed six of them.In Honor of National Women Veterans Recognition Day on June 12th, we are thrilled to re-run this Episode with Kirstie.

Deutsche Soldaten und Soldatinnen in Afghanistan und in Mali - die Einsätze sind Geschichte. Aber für die Menschen, die diese Einsätze erlebt haben, ist diese Geschichte nicht vorbei. Sie erinnern sich ein Leben lang, haben zum Teil mit psychischen oder körperlichen Folgen zu kämpfen. In der Öffentlichkeit sind die Veteraninnen und Veteranen der Bundeswehr kaum Thema. Das soll sich jetzt ändern mit einem Gedenktag. In anderen Ländern, wie den USA, Großbritannien und Frankreich ist das normal. Bei uns waren Veteranen bisher kaum sichtbar. Verdienen Bundeswehrangehörige und Ehemalige mehr Respekt und Anerkennung? Wird ein Gedenktag den Menschen gerecht, die ihr Leben im Dienst riskiert haben? Oder gehen wir mit einem Gedenktag sogar in die falsche Richtung und verklären das Militärische zu sehr? Wir sprechen darüber mit Patrick Sensburg vom Verband der Reservisten der Deutschen Bundeswehr, mit Jürgen Rose, Oberstleutnant a.D. vom Arbeitskreis „Darmstädter Signal“, mit Frank Eggen vom Verein “Angriff auf die Seele” und Oberleutnant Niklas Karius, Teilnehmer bei den Invictus-Games, dem Sportfestival für Menschen, die im Dienst körperlich oder seelisch verletzt wurden. Podcast-Tipp: Killed in Action - Trauma Bundeswehr Der Podcast erzählt die Geschichte von Soldatinnen und Soldaten, die aus einem Einsatz traumatisiert heimgekehrt sind - also mit einer posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung. Viele Afghanistan-Veteranen sprechen von einem „dritten Krieg“: Den ersten haben sie zum Beispiel gegen die Taliban geführt, den zweiten gegen die Krankheit. Und den dritten gegen die Bundeswehr und ihre Bürokratie. Teils müssen sie Jahrzehnte um Anerkennung und für finanzielle Versorgung kämpfen. Was macht ein Trauma mit Soldaten - und was mit dem Image der Bundeswehr, die ja aufrüsten muss und mehr Personal braucht? https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/streitkraefte-und-strategien/killed-in-action-trauma-bundeswehr-1-5/ndr-info/14564381/

Join us as we talk to Em Lahey.Em was fit, healthy, and thriving at the peak of her career. After experiencing persistent sinusitis symptoms and headaches, she was shocked to learn she had a 4x6x7cm mass in her sinus. The diagnosis: NUT Carcinoma, an extremely rare and aggressive cancer. She was told the cancer didn't respond well to treatment and was given a life expectancy of just 6–9 months. The tumor was inoperable, and after chemotherapy proved ineffective, she underwent radiotherapy and began immunotherapy to try to keep the disease stable.Genomic testing eventually offered a glimmer of hope, a targeted treatment that wasn't initially accessible in Australia until all other options had been exhausted. Em finally qualified for the drug and has now been on it for three years, making her the longest-standing patient on the treatment. As a side effect of radiation, she lost vision in her left eye - something she describes as more challenging than the cancer itself, as it's a constant, daily reminder.Em has been a dedicated sargent in the army for 15 years however has been off work on medical leave for the last few years. She applied for the ADF Adaptive Sports Program, which led to her selection for the 2024 Warrior Games in Florida. Earlier this year, she proudly represented Australia at the Invictus Games in Canada, competing in rowing, swimming, wheelchair curling, alpine skiing, and skeleton.In 2024, Em was the subject of The Time to Live exhibition by the Australian Cancer Research Foundation. She offered a powerful and intimate experience as she auctioned minutes of her remaining time, highlighting the irreplaceable value of time and raising awareness for cancer research.Em's sense of humor and reflections on life's sliding doors moments reveal her deep perspective and resilience. Her story is about truly living. She's not done yet, there's still so much she's determined to experience and achieve.LINKShttps://www.cancerchicks.org.au/https://www.acrf.com.au/time-to-live/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEcT7nV205Qhttps://thebigcpodcast.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 11:00 I watched Paradise with Sterling K. Brown on Hulu and didn't like how it ended. Chandra felt the same way about Feud: Capote vs. The Swans. I love The Pitt on HBO. We've both been watching Severance and love the performances. Chandra is watching The White Lotus and recommends Court of Gold on Netflix. I watched Heretic but don't recommend it. Oscars: Minutes 11:00 to 19:00 We had the Oscars this week and Chandra's favorite movie, Anora, won the most awards. We're glad Mikey Madison won for best actress over Demi Moore. Demi won plenty of awards and didn't go home empty handed. I wish that June Squibb was nominated for best actress for Thelma, my favorite movie of 2024. It takes a ton of money to campaign for an Oscar. Royals: Minutes 19:00 to 36:30 Since we last recorded we had the Invictus Games in Canada and Duchess Meghan's show With Love, Meghan came out. Last week, before the release of With Love, Meghan, Kate and William visited Wales and were such obvious copy-keens. They visited a cake shop and “made” cakes and Kate was sure to mention her jam and said she'd give the recipe to someone. Then we got a weaksauce story from a royal expert claiming Kate didn't marry for a title, but Meghan did. There's been a real silence from the palace as they figure out how to copy Meghan. I remember when Kate copied Meghan's Zoom background. With Love, Meghan is a sweet comfort watch where she makes food and does crafts with her friends. I've watched the first five episodes so far. Chandra has watched the whole thing and loves the episodes with Roy Choi and Vicky Tsai. It was cute to see Meghan interact with her friend Abigail Spencer. We talk about some of our favorite recipes including the salted fish and fried chicken. We recorded this episode before the news that With Love, Meghan got a second season. Chandra wants Roy Choi to go on again. She thinks the vocal critics of the show have never watched a cooking or lifestyle show. The critics want Meghan to be all things at once. In season two we hope they don't change things too much and just make little tweaks. Meghan was very smart this week about her PR including being on the cover of People. I play a segment from Zoom where we talked about With Love, Meghan. Comments of the week: 36:30 to end Kaiser's comment of the week is from EmpressCakey on the post about Ione Skye's new memoir. My comment of the week is from Jess on the post about Jennifer Garner thinking Ben Affleck has a dark side.  Thanks for listening bitches!  

1.35 million applicants received a military entrance physical from 2016 to 2020, and about 15% of them received an initial disqualification. More than half of these disqualified applicants sought a waiver, and they were more likely than not to get approved. This whole system can be frustrating and opaque, so in this episode we dive into the medical standards and waiver process with a guest who was deeply involved. Dr. Christopher D. Meyering is a board-certified Primary Care Sports Medicine physician. He attended medical school at the Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine, Midwestern University and subsequently completed his Family Medicine internship and residency training at DeWitt Army Community Hospital at Fort Belvoir, VA. Following a 2-year assignment in Germany, he completed a Sports Medicine Fellowship at the Tri-Service Primary Care Fellowship at Fort Belvoir, VA. He is certified by the American Board of Family Physicians with a Certificate of Added Qualification in Sports Medicine, and he is a Fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians. Dr. Meyering retired from the U.S. Army after 21 years of Service which included 3 combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan as a Battalion Surgeon for Infantry, Armor, and Field Artillery units. Several key positions during his career were assignments as the Command Surgeon for the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command which oversees all recruiting and training for the entire U.S. Army; the Command Surgeon for the U.S. Army Recruiting Command which made him the medical waiver authority for the Army; and the Division Surgeon for the 1st Cavalry Division. Dr. Meyering was the Chief Medical Officer for the 2022 and 2024 DoD Warrior Games held in Orlando, FL. Additionally he was the co-medical lead for the 2021 Invictus Games held in The Hague, The Netherlands and for the 2023 Invictus Games in Dusseldorf, Germany. He is currently the Chief Medical Officer for all upcoming DoD Warrior Games and is the Medical Lead for Team U.S. at the 2025 Invictus Games in Vancouver and Whistler, Canada. He is the author of multiple peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, and published abstracts, and he has presented at international and national conferences and events. He was previously the assistant team physician for George Mason University and covered all collegiate sports. He volunteered medical services at multiple levels and events to include the Marine Corps marathon, the Army 10 miler, the Augusta Half Iron Man Triathlon, All Army Wheelchair basketball, USA National and Golden Gloves Boxing events, Army combatives tournaments, professional fast pitch softball, and Special Olympics. We reference a lot of data from this AMSARA report "Accession Medical Standards Analysis and Research Activity"Some other relevant reporting on the issue includes this piece from The War Horse and this discussion of recent changes from AUSACOL (R) Meyering told a story about national media attention on some of his work, and you can find that coverage here

SEASON 3 EPISODE 99: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: There's a small problem (naturally) that Trump overlooked (of course) when he misquoted (evergreen) the probably-apocryphal (saw that coming) Napoleon quote "He who saves his country does not violate any law.” The problem should be obvious. What if I think I'm saving my country FROM Trump? What if you think you are saving your country FROM Trump? Set aside for a moment the implicit stochastic call to terrorism or just law-breaking from Trump to his supporters. What about his message to them? Us? You? Me? Did he just indemnify all of us? Seems kind of dangerous. On the other hand, seems like something that somebody who has slipped fully into a delusion of universal support would say. The implications are, like Trump and Musk, just staggering. ALSO WHY IT'S TIME FOR A NEWS BOYCOTT OF THE WHITE HOUSE: Again, I don't have enough space or words to tell you how much this won't happen, but the response to the White House attempt to dictate what the Associated Press gets to write (and open the path to telling you what YOU get to write) should be obvious and unanimous: don't send any reporters to the White House or Air Force One until the AP is restored. And I'm sure The Washington Vichy Post and The New York Bothsidesist Times and CNN (Certainly Not News) will be right out front. On the other hand, there IS a good media pushback idea: A Democratic Shadow Press Secretary,. B-Block (31:25) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Some Dominican voters in Reading, PA, who according to the Mayor there voted for Trump because they just assumed when he said he'd deport "illegals" he'd give them amnesties because they're good people. Mark Zuckerberg is back, suppressing ads for the ever-controversial (checks notes) Invictus Games. And Jim Vandehei and Mike Allen praise the "masculinity" of Musk and Trump even though the four of them don't have enough masculinity to fill up a thimble. C-Block (40:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: A confession. I didn't lie when I said why I discontinued the 2016-17 GQ Series "The Resistance." Nor did I tell the entire truth. I will now. It involves a threat against me, an inadvertent meeting with old SportsCenter friends, a deep hatred of the topic of Trump, and the firing of a loyal colleague.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For a long time the Invictus Games was one event that even critics of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex admired - but the latest games have drawn criticism for their conduct? Is it fair? And where do the rebel royal couple now stand?Then Dr Natalee Garrett from the Open University joins Phil to talk about her work on one of the most important royal women of them all - Queen Charlotte. During a life defined by duty, family and, of course, endless scandal, Charlotte was consort to King George III during some extraordinarily turbulent times, not least when the King lost his reason and arguments broke out between her 15 children and numerous politicians about what the royal family - and nation - should do about it. Phil also asks about whether Natalee agreed with - or enjoyed - the portrait of a mixed race Charlotte in the smash hit Netflix series Bridgerton.You can buy Natalie's book, and all the books we feature on the podcast here, along with thousands of others...https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/queen-charlotte-natalee-garrett/7736300?aid=12054&ean=9781032280400&***We now have a Thank You button (next to the 'three dots') for small donations that help support our work***Looking for the perfect gift for a special scandalous someone - or someone you'd like to get scandalous with?

O Brasil espera ter uma participação histórica nos Invictus Games, evento internacional para militares com deficiência criado pelo príncipe Harry em 2014, que acontece a cada dois anos. A atual edição, em Vancouver, inclui disputas em 11 modalidades, das quais seis são de inverno – biatlo, curling em cadeira de rodas, esqui alpino, esqui nórdico, skeleton e snowboarding – e cinco de verão – basquete em cadeira de rodas, natação, remo indoor, rúgbi em cadeira de rodas e vôlei sentado. Luciana QuaresmaO Brasil se tornou o 24º país filiado aos Invictus Games, torneio que vai até 16 de fevereiro no Canadá. Segundo o tenente-coronel Davi Pavelec, da Comissão Desportiva Militar do Brasil e chefe da missão brasileira, estar em Vancouver “oferece uma plataforma inédita de reconhecimento pessoal e fortalecimento da autoestima para os veteranos”.Fazer parte do torneio é uma demonstração do compromisso do país com a reabilitação e a valorização de seus militares. "Integrar este evento tem como objetivo promover a inclusão social, física e emocional dos nossos militares, oferecendo uma plataforma de superação e reconhecimento pessoal, além de fomentar um ambiente de apoio mútuo entre atletas", destacou Pavelec à RFI.A delegação verde-amarela conta com oito atletas, que irão disputar as provas em duas modalidades: vôlei sentado e natação. No vôlei, o paranaense Alex Witkovski, que ficou em 6° lugar quando a delegação brasileira disputou os Jogos Olímpicos de Paris 2024, volta às quadras animado.O Brasil deve aproveitar esta participação no Canadá para aprender mais com países como Estados Unidos, Reino Unido e Austrália, presentes desde a criação dos Invictus Games.“Esses países já possuem uma forte infraestrutura de apoio aos militares paratletas, tanto para a reabilitação, quanto ao esporte adaptado. O aprendizado está na forma como essas nações estruturam suas equipes, preparam os atletas e utilizam os jogos como uma ferramenta de reintegração social e psicológica", afirma Pavelec.Ele destaca a existência de um intercâmbio com nações mais experientes, por meio de parcerias com organizações internacionais, que ajudam a oferecer capacitação e troca de conhecimento sobre como otimizar programas de esporte para veteranos no Brasil. Pavelec cita os exemplos da Colômbia e da Argentina, que anualmente vêm ao Brasil para o Torneio Internacional Militar de Vôlei Sentado.Formação da equipe: desafios e superaçãoConstruir uma equipe para competir internacionalmente não foi simples. O Brasil enfrentou o desafio de estruturar um treinamento especializado. "Embora tenhamos iniciativas como o Programa de Paradesporto Militar, a cultura do esporte adaptado está em crescimento. Foi necessário um grande esforço para integrar o esporte à reabilitação", explicou Pavelec.O Ministério da Defesa acredita que os Invictus Games atuarão como uma ferramenta crucial na recuperação física e emocional dos militares. "Esses jogos são mais que uma competição, são um gesto de solidariedade e comunidade entre os veteranos", destacou o tenente-coronel.Os atletas foram selecionados com base em rigorosos critérios, considerando as habilidades esportivas e o desejo de superação pessoal. A preparação incluiu treinos frequentes com acompanhamento de técnicos especializados, para que os competidores estejam prontos para enfrentar os desafios com confiança.Futuro planejadoApós a participação nos Invictus Games, o Brasil planeja continuar o investimento no esporte adaptado. "O fortalecimento da cultura esportiva entre os militares com deficiência será uma prioridade, garantindo que eles tenham oportunidades para praticar esportes adaptados e participar de competições promovendo suas reabilitações e integração à sociedade", disse Pavelec.A delegação brasileira é composta por para-atletas das Forças Armadas e Forças Auxiliares. Para o general Paulo Afonso, diretor do Departamento de Desporto Militar, o evento "representa um marco no paradesporto militar brasileiro.Inspirado pelo Warrior Games dos Estados Unidos, o príncipe Harry criou os Invictus Games como um evento internacional que utilizaria o poder do esporte para ajudar na recuperação e reabilitação de veteranos. A primeira edição aconteceu em Londres, no Reino Unido, em 2014, e se expandiu para incluir cidades como Orlando, Toronto e Sydney. Em 2025, a competição reúne cerca de 500 atletas de 24 nações em Vancouver.Como todo bom filho à casa torna, a próxima edição dos Invictus Games acontecerá em Birmingham, em 2027, na Inglaterra.

Harry and Meghan are off to Vancouver. In the Spectator, Alexander Larman writes about Meghan:"Yet there is something so nauseatingly contrived, so fake – so actressy – about the little smiles to camera, the faux-excitement, the casual name-dropping of famous friends and, finally, the idea that some signed trinkets can in some way compensate for a truly epochal disaster. It screams of consumerism and fakery: both things, by now, that the Duchess has intimately associated herself with."Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

Armed Forces Invictus Centre, Abuja, Nigeria As the Duke of Sussex, 40, prepares to head to Vancouver, British Columbia, for the next Invictus Games, one of the newer nations to join the Paralympic-style contest for wounded, injured and sick veterans and armed services members has taken the next step forward. Ground has been broken at Nigeria's new rehabilitation building for wounded service members, called the Armed Forces Invictus Centre. Kick-off for the construction of the venue in Abuja began in January 2025. King Charles & Prince William Throw Tantrums While Yes Ma'am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants kinda goes in on everyone, author Tom Quinn (in an excerpt from The Times) said that King Charles and Prince William are "prone to tantrums if things are not done to their liking." He also spoke to a former staff member who said, “They both get irritated very quickly. They are very picky. It comes naturally to them.” Kate Middleton Treats William Like a Fourth Child One former staff member claims (in an excerpt from The Times) that William's prone to tantrums if things don't go according to plan, adding that Kate treats her husband like a child: “I don't know where William would be without Kate — she hasn't had everything done for her throughout her life, so she calms him down when he gets a bit fractious. She said he sometimes has to be treated as her fourth child.” Prince Andrew New Court Filings Prince Andrew has been hit by a double blow after two new court filings heaped further pressure on his relationship with King Charles III. The first appeared to show him telling Jeffrey Epstein "we'll play some more soon!!!!" in an email sent after he claims to have cut ties with the New York financier. And in the second it emerged Prince Andrew was hoping to raise billions of dollars in China in part using his relationship with Yang Tengbo, who British intelligence officers now believe is a Chinese spy. __________________________________________________________ Sources: People | Prince Harry Celebrates Another Key Step in His Invictus Games Journey: https://people.com/prince-harry-celebrates-invictus-games-center-nigeria-exclusive-8786296 Cosmopolitan | Prince William, King Charles Have Tantrums: https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a63686751/prince-william-king-charles-tantrums/ Cosmopolitan | Kate Middleton Treats Prince William Like a Fourth Child: https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a63686858/kate-middleton-treats-prince-william-like-fourth-child/ Newsweek | Prince Andrew's New PR Car Crash is a Headache for King Charles: https://www.newsweek.com/prince-andrew-pr-car-crash-king-charles-2025041

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 4:00 I am recovering well from a hysterectomy. Chandra had a stomach virus last weekend which is why we didn't publish on Sunday Oscar nominated movies we watched: Minutes 4:00 to 13:30 There are no spoilers in this section. We both loved Conclave as we discussed in the last episode. I want it to win best picture. I saw Emilia Perez before the controversies and I really liked it. We both saw Wicked. Chandra liked it more than I did. She loved Anora and wishes that Mikey Madison would have done a bigger Oscar campaign. We both hated The Substance and wonder why it's getting so much buzz. We both saw A Real Pain and liked it. We wonder why Denzel Washington wasn't nominated for his performance in Gladiator II. Chandra liked Maria and was hoping Angelina would be nominated. She saw A Complete Unknown and thought Timothee Chalamet was great in it. I highly recommend Day of The Jackal on Peacock and am watching Paradise on Hulu. We're both watching the second season of Severance. Royals: Minutes 13:30 to 22:15 In early January we got the announcement of Duchess Meghan's new lifestyle show on Netflix called With Love, Meghan. She's also back on Instagram. Her show was supposed to premiere on January 15th, but was delayed until March 4th due to the terrible wildfires in Los Angeles. NGN settled with Prince Harry on the day the trial was supposed to start. If Harry hadn't taken the settlement, it would have altered the case. This was a win for Harry since NGN admitted guilt. Harry's security case is still in the courts. The Invictus Games are going to be February 8th to the 16th in Vancouver. We hope Meghan is there most of the time, but we'll see. The Vanity Fair cover story on Harry and Meghan came out a couple of weeks ago. It's very similar to the British narrative we've been hearing about their relationship for years now, and it's insidious and despicable. Chandra wrote some good analysis about how the piece was meant to tear Harry down before he testified against NGN. Princess Kate and Prince William have done so many events this week. Kate's surprise visit to Royal Marsden hospital on January 14th was curiously timed. Politics: Minutes 22:15 to 29:30 Following the horrific plane collision between a US Army helicopter and a commercial flight, Trump did a press conference and blamed DEI policies. Both the plane crash and the response by Trump were predicted by a University of Maryland political science professor. He tweeted on January 29, a day before, that there weren't enough air traffic controllers and that Trumpers would blame a crash on DEI. Trump had recently fired the head of the FAA and put a hiring freeze on air traffic controllers. We're frustrated at people asking Democrats to do something. It will probably take some time before people realize that they were wrong to vote for Trump. Comments of the Week: Minutes 29:30 to end Chandra's comment of the week is from SussexWatcher on the post about Prince William visiting a farm. My comment of the week is from Rai on the post about Chappell Roan. I didn't delete the comment I was responding to, it was just at the bottom and I missed it when we were recording. Thanks for listening bitches!

This week on The Sports Agents... Former British number one tennis players, Tim Henman and Laura Robson, chatted to Gabby and Mark from a Sky Sports padel event about doping, the Djokovic-Murray partnership and Emma Raducanu's future (01:45). As the Six Nations kicks off ex-England rugby player, David Flatman, joined us. Could the Six Nations stop being free-to-air and could this threaten the sport? (08:00)We tried to figure out how Manchester City got so close to an early Champions League exit with former City player, Nedum Onuoha, and Pep Guardiola's biographer, Guillem Balague (14:15). And before she heads off to compete at the Invictus Games we chatted to Gemma Barnes, the Team UK vice-captain who served in the army for 15 years before two life-changing leg injuries (18:45).Got a question for The Sports Agents - email us at thesportsagents@global.com New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday.

The conversation delves into the rich history and purpose of the Invictus Games, which Vicky helped to launch alongside Prince Harry. She recounts inspiring personal stories of athletes whose lives were transformed by the power of sport, showcasing its role in recovery and rehabilitation. From the UK to international stages, Invictus has not only created a platform for wounded, injured, and sick servicemen and women but also fostered a legacy of resilience and achievement.

Nach einem schwierigen Einsatz in Afghanistan brach Scott, ein Sergeant der britischen Armee, zusammen. „Ich war an einem dunklen Ort“, erinnert er sich. Doch als er „Jesus kennenlernte und anfing, ihm nachzufolgen“, änderte sich sein Leben radikal. Jetzt teilt er die Liebe Christi mit anderen Menschen, besonders mit Veteranen, mit denen er an den Invictus Games teilnimmt. Das ist eine internationale Veranstaltung für verwundete und verletzte Mitglieder und Veteranen der Streitkräfte.

Following a challenging tour in Afghanistan, Scott, a sergeant in the British Army, fell apart. He remembered: “I was in a dark place.” But when he “discovered Jesus and began following him,” his life changed radically. Now he seeks to share the love of Christ with others, especially veterans with whom he competes in the Invictus Games, an international event for wounded and injured members and veterans of the armed forces. For Scott, reading the Bible, praying, and listening to worship music grounds him before going to the Games. God then helps him “to reflect the character of Jesus and show kindness, gentleness, and grace” with the fellow veterans competing there. Scott names here some of the fruit of the Spirit that the apostle Paul wrote about to the believers in Galatia. They struggled under the influence of false teachers, so Paul sought to encourage them to stay true to God and His grace, being “led by the Spirit” (Galatians 5:18). By doing so, they would then produce the Spirit’s fruit—“love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control” (vv. 22-23). With God’s Spirit living within us, we too will burst forth with the Spirit’s goodness and love. We too will show gentleness and kindness to those who surround us.
