Restoring Lives Through Resilience: General Bob Dees

A Word in Season with Doug Stringer

Description: In this powerful episode, Major General Bob Dees (Ret.)—veteran, author, and founder of the National Center for Healthy Veterans—joins us for a candid conversation on the front lines of trauma recovery, leadership, and hope. Drawing from decades of military leadership, personal loss, and hands-on ministry with some of the most at-risk veterans in America, General Dees shares timeless principles for building resilient lives rooted in faith, purpose, and community.

Listeners will discover:

• Why resilience is a critical life skill “from cradle to grave”
• How trauma impacts veterans and their families—and how to be part of the healing
• The Resilience Life Cycle and how it applies to everyday setbacks, grief, and personal calling
• Inspiring stories of transformation from the field, including those who’ve overcome homelessness, addiction, and despair
• How organizations and individuals can effectively support veterans, first responders, and others carrying invisible wounds

Whether you're a leader, caregiver, pastor, veteran, or someone navigating personal trials, this episode offers practical encouragement, spiritual insight, and a roadmap to healing. Be inspired to steward your own pain, walk with others through theirs, and stand strong in the calling God has placed on your life.

Listen now and learn how resilience—God’s way—can restore, rebuild, and renew lives.
