Personal Peace for Leaders: Strengthening Your Full Armor of God to Overcome the PTSD of Life. In the Marines we are kept lean and mean. But not just to be aggressive.

Have you not done the spiritual exercises it takes to grow in your faith to lift the shield? Or is your armor too small? Are you carrying around the baggage of yesterday?
