About this episode
Anna and James discuss how they met at the Naval Academy, how they see their differing Christian faith backgrounds (Orthodox and Catholic) as an opportunity instead of a hinderance, how their combined military experience and James' deployment in Afghanistan have shaped their perspective on what real “problems and challenges" are in life, and how they maximize their time together despite their different jobs in the Coast Guard and Marine Corps.
