Unseen Battles
First Responders for Christ –
Season 2, Episode 1
Season 2 begins with Kyle Lange of the Wichita Falls Fire Department in Texas. In this powerful conversation, Kyle shares the unseen battles many first responders face after repeated exposure to trauma and the danger of masking the pain instead of confronting it.
We also discuss why every first responder needs faithful “mat carriers”, (Mark 2) people willing to help carry the load, speak truth, and point us to the hope and healing found in Christ.
