She also shares about her heart for the healing of marriage and her passion to help veterans. She shares with us how to see the signs in veterans who need help and the wonderful program herself and her partners have set up as a healing resource.
What does God’s Word say?
Ephesians 5:21-33
Instructions for Christian Households
21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing[b] her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body. 31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” 32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

| 0:00.0 | One of my favorite authors, this is a guy named Gavin DeBecker, I've never met him, |
| 0:03.5 | looked at the interview him. He was in an abusive family growing up and became an expert in knowing |
| 0:12.8 | when people are going to harm others. It was Gavin DeBecker's team who prevented perhaps |
| 0:18.9 | Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from being assassinated by a guy who had fake federal credentials and two |
| 0:24.8 | guns, two handguns. Of course, RFK Jr. has not been afforded, secret service protection at the |
| 0:32.4 | time of this recording, the figurehead hasn't given it to him. Gosh can only guess why. I mentioned |
| 0:38.5 | that because you today have a chance to meet a woman who can help you prevent veteran suicide |
| 0:46.1 | and in fact prevent divorce, I said help with God working through her. I had an occasion to meet and |
| 0:54.6 | get to know Samantha Means over the past couple years and she has provided me insights multiple |
| 1:02.7 | and aha moments scripturally and helped me think through things really important nature. |
| 1:09.1 | She has a background similar to Gavin DeBecker's and that Samantha's life |
| 1:14.8 | it was not always as a woman running a organization that helps veterans and couples in fact it |
| 1:22.5 | began this way. As a child, the first time I was sexually assaulted was about the age of three |
| 1:27.5 | and I know that from court documents that I've read. First time I was raped was when I was six |
| 1:32.7 | years old and I received a message early on from authorities in my life that the sexual assault |
| 1:39.1 | was not the perpetrator's fault and that I was not to tell family secrets and so I spent about |
| 1:45.2 | the next decade of my life shoving it down and believing a lie that I was the reason that I was hurt |
| 1:52.3 | the way that I was hurt. It was my fault. Samantha refuses to be a victim. Interrupted myself. |
| 1:56.9 | Samantha refuses to be a victim. In fact, she's written a book called from victim to victorious. |
| 2:02.6 | She is a marine. She refuses to be a victim. She went through some things in the marine |
