In this episode, Chesed sits down with Mike Kayle, an Army chaplain, to hear the story of how God led him into a life of ministry, military service, and crossing cultures. Rather than having the whole path mapped out, Mike learned to walk in obedience, always looking for the next yes he and his family could say to God.
Mike shares how serving as an Army chaplain can be a form of missionary work and how military kids often have much in common with missionary kids. While their story looks different from that of traditional MKs, many of the same TCK themes of transition, belonging, and identity are there. Together, they explore the unique experiences of military TCKs and why military families can benefit from greater awareness of TCK resources and support.
