Veil + Armour: Holiness in Motherhood and Daily Life
From former feminist to exploring the Catholic feminine genius:
Learning how to be a "Proverbs 31 Woman" in the Modern World
Authentic conversations about faith, family and femininity.
Are you seeking a joyful, life-changing + Christ-centred vision of motherhood & femininity? Are you seeking authenticity, clarity, and confidence in your vocation as a Christian wife and mother, and seek to understand your husband's role and mission in the family, in his work, and in the world, and your divine calling as parents?
Sheila Nonato is a stay-at-home and homeschooling mom, and an award-winning journalist. Her work has been published by The Catholic Register (Toronto), Postmedia News - Ottawa (National Post), The Jordan Times (Amman), IRIN Middle East (UN news agency), The Canadian Press, The Globe and Mail, China Daily, The Christian Science Monitor
We will explore the Catholic Feminine Genius of women. Is popular culture the only lens within which we can view a woman's worth and purpose? The Catholic vision of motherhood and womanhood presents the "feminine genius," embodying the Christian virtues of service, sacrifice, and lasting joy and fulfillment in our God-given vocation as women, mothers, future mothers and spiritual mothers. We seek to bridge the gap between the understanding of women in the secular world vs. a countercultural Christian vision of a woman's role & power, rooted in the Bible and Church tradition.

Veil + Armour: Holiness in Motherhood and Daily Life
60. From Hidden Homes To Holy Battle: Building A Family Apostolate Rooted In Prayer, Motherhood, And Faith
Veil + Armour at the Catholic Creator Conference:
Start with Scripture, stay for the mission. We open with St. Paul's Letter to the Ephesians 6 and a family prayer, then trace the unexpected path from a mother’s return to journalism to a household apostolate that lives at the crossroads of motherhood and fatherhood—veil and armour together.
The spark was finding Tammy Peterson's story of healing and conversion heard 'round the world and it drew us into a new chapter: serving Catholic women and men by honouring the hidden work that turns ordinary days into training grounds for grace.
We unpack why the name matters. The veil honors the "feminine genius" that quietly builds homes and hearts; the armour points to masculine duty modeled by Saint Joseph—knight, protector and provider of the Holy Family.
Along the way, we share what actually keeps family prayer alive in busy seasons: Rosaries in the car, Scripture before screens, and short prayers when time is tight. Saint Josemaría’s vision of sanctifying ordinary work becomes our blueprint, reshaping chores, deadlines, and commutes into offerings. We also explore the “armour side” through military service and classroom life, laying out practical ways to pray and lead when schedules feel like battle plans.
Guests and mentors show up as signposts rather than trophies, reminding us that impact is measured in souls, not subs. UK Doctor Dermot Kearney is saving lives through Abortion Pill Reversal. Australian priest, singer and former X Factor contestant Fr. Rob Galea's early "Yes" fuels courage over adversity. We close with a simple invitation to keep going deeper: retreats for moms, more stories of courageous fatherhood, and person-to-person friendship that carries grace beyond the screen. If you’ve ever wondered how to bring Christ into your exact life—your kitchen, your work shift, your army unit, your classroom—this conversation offers a map and the encouragement to start.
If this resonates with you, please like and subscribe, share it with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a review to help more families find their footing in faith as we journey towards the Cross and the Resurrection in every story we tell through the podcast.

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and his mighty power. Put on the full armour of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore, put on the full armor of God so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground and have you done any everything to stand."
Joseph Nonato:Thank you very much, Raphaelle. Alright, wonderful. So "Mahal ko" (My Love), we finally made it here in Steubenville. This is amazing.
Sheila Nonato:So we are at the Catholic Creator Conference. Thank you to Kyle and Drew for organizing all everyone who helped out with that. And it's been an amazing experience so far, especially with our family.
Joseph Nonato:The masculinity and the example of Saint Joseph that has been given is something that I think that many Catholic men these days are starting to wake up to. Starting saying this is very important. What we do is noble. And the nobility of what Saint Joseph did in quietly going to work and going and doing his thing, supporting the family, being the night protector and provider of the Holy Family, right? It's something that has to be exemplified, and especially in this day and age. And anyways, this is what I'd like to discover uh through the journey of the Veil and Armour Podcast.
Sheila Nonato:Hello and welcome to the Veil andi Armour Podcast. This is your host, Sheila Nonato. I'm a stay-at-home mom and a freelance Catholic journalist. Seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the inspiration of Our Lady, I strive to tell stories that inspire, illuminate, and enrich the lives of Catholic women to help them in living out our vocation of raising the next generation of leaders and saints.
Co-Hosts:Please join us every week on the Veil and Armour Podcast, where stories come alive through a journalist's lens in Mother's Heart.
Joseph Nonato:Alright, everyone. So we're here on another episode of the Veil in Armour Podcast. And so we have the whole family here together today. But before we do that, let's begin with a prayer. Together in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Let's just take a moment to remember that we are in the most holy presence of God. Okay, let's pray to our Lord to guide this conversation. Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, and enkindle in them the fire of your love, send forth your spirit, and they shall be created, and you shall renew the face of the earth. Let us pray. O God has taught the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit. Grant that by the gift of the same Spirit we be always truly wise and ever rejoice in his consolation. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen. Okay, Raphaelle, can you please uh begin us with a reading?
Sheila Nonato:And it's a let letter, Saint Paul's letter to the Ephesians, The Armour of God.
Co-Host:"Finally, be strong in the Lord in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you've done any everything to stand." Thank you.
Joseph Nonato:Thank you very much, Raphaelle. Alright, wonderful. So "Mahal ko" (My love), we finally made it here in Steubenville. This is amazing.
Sheila Nonato:So we are at the Catholic Creator Conference. Thank you to Kyle and Drew for organizing all everyone who helped out with that. And it's been an amazing experience so far, especially with our family. And uh I guess we're gonna unveil the armour side of the Veil and Armour podcast. This is my husband who is really the inspiration behind the podcast apostolate that we started. And uh can you tell us, you know, why do you well I the Veil and Armour name came to me during mass. Was praying about it, wasn't sure what to call the podcast. And I know it's not SEO friendly um or anything like that, but that's sort of the name that was given and that stuck. And so can you explain, you know, what's the armour side have to do with with faith and uh apostolate?
Joseph Nonato:Well, first of all, yeah, I'd love I'd love to say that I love the fact that you got the name and during Holy Mass, right? And so therefore at the end of Mass, I remember you said to me, Okay, that's what the the podcast name is. But uh before we even get to like why is it Veil and Armour, let's how did we end up in this journey? Like all of a sudden, a year and a half later, we're in Steubenville at a Catholic Creator Conference. How was it that we started off this journey?
Sheila Nonato:Well, we started it off because after 12 years of being a stay-at-home mom, I um came across a story, uh, the Tammy Peterson story, before anyone knew uh that she was going to be converting. I'd heard it through friends. Um, and I don't know, I just kept asking God, like, why is this coming to me now? Um, do you want me to write it? Because I haven't written anything in 12 years. And um, and through connections and just asking Queenie U, who's been an amazing um woman of faith who helped to guide Mrs. Peterson to the Catholic Church. So I wrote that story for The Catholic Register in Toronto, um, which, you know, spread like wildfire. And Gabby After Hours did an amazing video of Jordan and Tammy and the story of the miracle of faith and the miracle she was given. So that's sort of how it started. Um, and then you suggested a podcast, and it was kind of a funny thing that I'm really just a pen and paper journalist. Um, I didn't want to go on video, really, it's very uncomfortable for me. Um, but I just thought you said it was the new, this is the new mission territory.
Joseph Nonato:I think so. Yeah. Yeah. It's the it's the new medium, right? If we want to get the um, I remember Saint John Paul II had uh saying after the World Youth Day in Toronto, he's saying, Okay, well, you know, the the new media is basically television and and and and whatnot. But if we keep on going with that, with the new trajectories, obviously with podcasts and and you can see that, especially during the uh the pandemic, the number of people that have converted or have learned about the faith and grown stronger in the faith, it's it's jumped. So with bad things, God can turn wonderful things uh out of bad things, and the pandemic is exactly you know an example of that. So you can see here that you know, once you put something on YouTube, it's there, it's archived, and people can look it up and they can learn from it. And so while our our apostolate is a very small apostolate, it still has a lot of value because we're contributing to that wider uh uh to that wider effort.
Joseph Nonato:Okay, now going back to the the whole thing about the Veil and Armour, I love the fact that it's called Veil and armour because you know, in our marriage, there obviously the uh there's a duality that the the two of us are together on the same mission, right? On the same mission in our vocation, right? Living in a particular way for a purpose. And that purpose is to bring ourselves, each other, uh, and our family to get to heaven. And so I love the very fact that Veil and Armour, so far you've talked about motherhood and the femininity, the "feminine genius" in the in the in the the veil part, but then now we want to bring in the armor part, which is obviously masculinity, which is something that um masculinity in terms of husband good husband and being a good father, right?
Joseph Nonato:Uh something that obviously many people have identified is as is is very much needed uh in this day. What is it to be a real man and whatnot? Now, obviously, in this, neither you or I are saying we're the examples to follow. Christ is always the example to follow with that, but we are on a journey of discovery with this, and obviously trying to make these interviews and talk to people and learn what they think. And obviously, we're on a learning journey ourselves and to try to figure this out, right? Now, the with the whole Veil in Armour, you and I and our family have obviously have been um very much inspired by the teachings of St. Jose Maria, right, in Opus Day, or the work of which we like love love to call it uh very affectionately, the work of God. And St. Jose maria has taught us this wonderful message of how to bring and sanctify the ordinary life.
Joseph Nonato:And so you at home and being a stay-at-home mother, you know, I think that there were some times that you had to sort of struggle with this because the world likes to say that, okay, yeah, you know, being a stay-at-home mom is is something to be looked down at. And one of the things that I've noticed over the time of our of our marriage, of our 15 years of marriage, you could see here that over time you start to really see that this can be sanctified. This is there's an aunt, there's this is the most important job. And for myself, whenever I go to work, I I always think that, you know, I am supporting the most important vocation here because you're taking care of our children, right? And especially with this whole like, you know, you being a stay-at-home mom, but a homeschooler as well. The education of our children is the most important thing. So, why do you think the the the armor side is important?
Sheila Nonato:I think the armour side is important because the husband um is a very important support to the wife. And in order for her to be able to do her vocation uh as a wife and a mother well, she needs the support, not just uh, you know, obviously the the financial support is very important for the whole family, but also the prayer, the spiritual support and the emotional support that, you know, G.K. Chesterton also said that the most important vocation is the mother, is being a mother, and all the other vocations are there to support it. And and you've also said that. Um, and I think it's important, you know, but it's kind of like a hit, the hidden life of mothers, uh, stay-at-home mothers, that not, you know, there's not too much, I guess, fanfare or um, you know, in the outside world, it seems, you know, like maybe boring, like, you know, dishes, dirty dishes, dirty divers. How is that glamorous, right?
Sheila Nonato:If you compare it to, I guess, the Instagram world, right? But, you know, the I guess the hidden life is important because as you can see, Our lady, she also had a hidden life. You know, there's not much written about her in scripture, but her role in salvation history is pivotal. We needed her to say yes in order to re to help to for Jesus to redeem humanity, that you know, she was in she is the new Eve, that she um in her humble, yes, in her humble um obedience and submission to God, she helped all of us to achieve eternal life through Jesus Christ, through the um death and Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Joseph Nonato:Yeah, and talk about hidden lives as well, right? From so from the armour side, then the part that I'm trying to reflect as well is is is Saint Joseph and talking about hidden lives. You know, there's not very much written about Our Lady, but there's almost nothing written about Saint Joseph, and he never said anything. There's nothing recorded of him in in Sacred Scripture.
Joseph Nonato:And so the whole idea of like, okay, well, the masculinity, that that silent and strong example that Saint Joseph gives to us, it's uh it's it's very important because, you know, especially in this day and age where the idea of a man has been sort of downgraded and sort of had dumbed down. And you get this in in cartoons where the father knows nothing or the father's just an older brother that we made fun of, that kind of a thing.
Joseph Nonato:To restore that back to the masculinity and the example of Saint Joseph that has been given is something that I think that many Catholic men these days are starting to wake up to, right? Start saying, this is very important. What we do is noble. And the nobility of what Saint Joseph did and quietly going to work and going and and doing his thing, supporting the family, being the night protector and provider of of the holy family, right? It it's something that has to be exemplified in especially in this day and age. And anyways, this is what I'd like to discover uh through the journey of a of the Veil and Armour podcast. Right. So where do you think we should take our apostolate from here?
Sheila Nonato:Um, I actually I don't I don't know. I think I need a lot of prayer and and also as a family uh discernment because in order to do this um apostolate, uh, I need all of your support. Um, because you know, yeah, the the household, it's very, very busy. And uh, you know, we um we have to help support each other, especially through prayer. Um, I don't know. Where do you guys think we should where do you think we can we can uh maybe meeting in person, um having uh some sort of a retreat for moms. I mean it started small, but I'd love to meet other moms and pray with them in person. That's sort of yeah, what I would like.
Joseph Nonato:I think that that's uh that's an important thing and and that trajectory, the whole veil part, I think you should continue on with that, that discovering the the femininity, the the the "feminine genius" of St. Paul, as St. John Paul II had talked about, right? And and the in-person thing, right? Obviously, in in apostolate, you know, the podcasting is good because we can reach out to one another. But as Saint Rosemary always taught us, that apostolate has to be done one-on-one. It's person to person.
Joseph Nonato:So if we're only just speaking through a screen, and if we're only just talking through a microphone or whatnot, you really can't convert hearts. So what really converts hearts there is Jesus Christ, but working through uh individuals, right? So, okay, well, from the podcasting side where I'd like to discover it, especially in the armour, as uh you've said before and and to our audience and whatnot, I'm an army reservist, um, but I'm also a religion teacher. And in the religion, what makes me good at one, I believe makes me good at the other, or at least I hope it sort of helps to contribute that, not to say that I'm an expert in either, but I would really like to discover, you know, especially from the teachings of St. Jose maria, how do you turn the ordinary into something that is extraordinary, into as what Monsignor Fred Dolan says is is a masterpiece, right?
Joseph Nonato:And how do you turn that into a masterpiece? So how do you take especially the life of a soldier, right? And how do you sanctify that? You know, the life of a soldier is is very busy, especially when you're on deployment. There's very little time for yourself, you're always thinking about serving others and whatnot, but how do you actually fit Christ into this? Right? And we know that if everything that's noble that's out there can be sanctified, how do you do that?
Joseph Nonato:Now, at least in my vision, anyways, being an army reservist in the times that I've been deployed or the times that I'm working with the military, right? I believe that the struggle that is there in the ordinary struggle, that's the struggle that the first apostles had to sort of deal with, you know, the first Christians. They had to sort of live in a world that was not exactly welcoming to Christians. They had to sort of make their schedule fit the fact that the presence of Christ is there. I'm pretty sure they didn't ignore their prayer. Yeah, I'm pretty sure they didn't ignore, you know, reading sacred or like contemplating sacred scripture. And in our day and age, how do you fit in mass and the holy rosary and your examination of conscience and your angels and all that? How do you fit it into the regular day?
Joseph Nonato:Now, obviously, St. Jose maria taught all of this to us, right? Make it work, but specifically, how do we do that in terms of from a military context and from the armour side of the house? That's what I'd like to do. I'd use that as a starting point, but not only with that. Obviously, if you have if you can do it in a military context where life is super hectic, you could probably do that in any other context, in accounting and lawyering and all the other uh busy things of uh the busy schedules of other men, right? So at least that's where I would like to take it.
Sheila Nonato:Okay. And just when you're speaking about St. Jose maria, it's actually a link to Tammy Peterson because she was praying the novena to St. Jose maria um and on day five, she was healed from uh the physical ailments. Well, she had can't surgery for cancer and then she had complications. There were serious complic complications to the point where she lost, like I think, um, she was down to 90 pounds. Doctors can figure out what uh what was wrong with her. And she actually went down to I think to Pennsylvania, to Philadelphia. Um, and you know, on the fifth day she was cured.
Sheila Nonato:And I just also wanted to bring the kids in because that's also part of uh our apostolate is the k the kids when I have to work, uh meaning I interview people, they the first the day, the first time I interviewed her, they you you were all waiting in the car for me. Um I talked to her for about uh an hour and a half, and and then when uh she was confirmed at Holy Rosary Parish in Toronto, you were all there too, and it was a long mass. It was the um Easter Vigil. What what did you think? I'm gonna ask the kids what what was one memory from that day? Do you do you remember what what was special? Did you find it special? What do you think? Oh, lean, in lean (into the microphone.)
Raphaelle:Well, it was the Easter vigil.
Sheila Nonato:And what what did you feel? What did you feel at that time? Did you do you have a special memory about it?
Raphaelle:My special memory airs is when the lights turn on. It felt it felt so nice, so happy. I felt like the new life entered into me.
Joseph Nonato:Oh, you mean at the "Hallelujah" when uh when Easter was already proclaimed? I remember how happy you were, but right?
Sheila Nonato:And what about when Mrs. Peterson uh became a Catholic? She entered the church. Were you happy for her? How did you how did you feel? You're very happy for her because you you met her uh a few times and then you met her husband on that day as well, and it was very special time. And James was also very good. Uh you know, he didn't fall asleep or anything like that. You are all thank you very much. That was such a gift that you all were there to also support me in the the work I was doing. I was writing for The Catholic Register as well. So that's a good thing.
Joseph Nonato:Yeah, this is a very the family's uh it's a family apostolate, right? And so in terms of time and resources, we understand that uh, you know, this is not a moneymaker, we're not in into it for for making uh any kind of funds, although it really what it is is that how do we participate and contribute to the mission of evangelization? And since our entire family has decided this is the way we're gonna go, right, and use the podcast of the Veil in Armour to try to bring the word of God to others, right? The family's also in in uh involved in it, and so the children are there. So I I love the fact that you're bringing in the kids to help say the prayers and whatnot. But how has the apostate of the Veil in Armour podcast being brought into the into our home? How do how do you think it's changed this?
Sheila Nonato:I'm just trying to think. I think because we have more of um purpose in our I guess we you know, you we try to say the rosary together as often as we can. When we're together in the car, we pray the rosary. There's sort of it maybe it's centralizes our mission that, you know, I mean, before we were we we want to be examples to our kids, but now because there are people listening or watching, um, I sort of have I I started to read the Bible again.
Sheila Nonato:Y ou when you gave me the St. Ignatius Study Bible for Christmas. I started reading the Bible uh from the beginning. So I'm only in Deuteronomy, so I'm going very slowly, but I'm sort of trying to center everything that I do, including the apostolate, the housework, the homeschooling in prayer before my own. Well, I'm trying, it's hard, before my own, I guess, needs or wants. Because, you know, I mean, at times there's no time for prayer.
Sheila Nonato:And then I realize, you know, that's, you know, you you always say when there's no time for prayer, that's when you need to pray. So um I realized, yeah, before, like, oh, I don't have time to pray, but now I realize I have to pray because then what will I say to people when I don't even have that foundation? What you know, I need to have knowledge too, to be able to share the faith. So when there are questions from the kids, especially, like I need to know what is the what is the answer.
Joseph Nonato:So yeah, what I love of the fact that we've gotten into this apostolate. Yes, I've seen you read sacred scripture more, I've seen you pray more. And it's the whole principle of the fact that you cannot give what you do not have. And so with this, you know, if you're teaching, obviously we who are teachers know that okay, you you teach and then you kind of learn things you know multiple times, right? Because you have to be able to take things from different ang from different angles in order to explain it, and especially when the kids sort of ask questions, it becomes something very useful. But example is the best teacher, right?
Joseph Nonato:And the wonderful thing about this is that I love the fact that the kids can see you praying, the kids can see you reading Sacred Scripture, the kids can see you actually, you know, putting it like evangelization becomes a priority for us, right, in the family. It's not only just us looking inwards, it's now us looking outwards. And in order for us to do that, then what ends up happening is that, you know, the the the whole family is sort of like they they they see us, so we have to be prayerful too. We have to be prayerful first, excuse me, right? Christ has to be the center of the whole thing. So we can see uh Raphael reading sacred scripture on her own, James saying his prayers, Miriam also talking about this, you know, with her Catechism and being very good at that, you know, especially at the dinner table and whatnot.
Joseph Nonato:And the conversations in our home have been sort of focused on Christ, and which is a wonderful thing, right? Good. Hopefully, with all of the efforts with the Veil and Armour podcast, it's not only a spiritual thing, but also humanly and the human virtues. Hopefully it's also helping to us improve, right? You know, prudence, justice, fortitude, temperance, and magnanimity, right? These these virtues where we can see ourselves we have to be more patient, we have to be mortally, we have to be, you know, and in order for the human virtues to be sh to be shaped and formed within us, and in our families, in order for supernatural virtues to to be lived. And so therefore for us to grow in that in order to reflect that in our in our uh episodes and whatnot, right? Okay, good. Yeah.
Sheila Nonato:Yeah, and I just wanted to thank everyone who's been on the podcast. Uh, Father Rob Galea from Australia, amazing singer, uh evangelist, uh, who who came on as a guest when we had maybe no subscribers. And uh he's an amazing, amazing uh preacher as well. Um, and Colleen Carroll Campbell, who used to be um speechwriter for President George W. Bush. Uh, she was at the height of her career. Um, she had, you know, achieved uh everything really that uh a journalist could would want to aspire to. She was in the heart of the political world, but she um she realized, you know, I um my marriage is gonna come first. And so she she left that job. And now she's a homeschooling mom. And I mean, the stories of Colleen and all the other women that I've interviewed always um inspire me because, you know, it's not always, you know, holiness doesn't always mean you're um perfect, because you know, sometimes you fall and but then it's the getting up. How do you get up? How do you reach out to Jesus' hand, Mother Mary's hand? And um, and that's also a way of teaching your children that it's okay, it's okay to fail sometimes and it's okay to fall. But you know, we we always have the hand of God. We can always reach out to him um to help us.
Joseph Nonato:So yeah. Yeah, life is messy and miracles are messy, but miracles are are God's work, right? In in uh in a messy world, and it's a and and it's a wonderful thing. Right. So yeah, I'm glad that we're seeing that sort of, you know, uh that light of Christ there in our lives, especially as a family. And I don't know, I've sort of reflected over the past year and a half of this apostolate, you know, the number of people that we've been able to reach um through this particular apostle and the number of people we've been in in in contact with, it is totally a blessing. Anyways.
Sheila Nonato:And and it's not, yeah, it's I mean, from this conference, uh, the Catholic Creator Conference, I've sort of come away with, you know, the it's not about the numbers. I mean, it's great if, you know, you have a million followers or whatever, but the main um, as you were saying before, Jesus is the main influencer.
Sheila Nonato:Um, that He's the source of everything. Um, all the the the purpose of our apostolate, our mission, um, and our our lives, really, our faith. Um, and we we that's why we have to have that grounded, the grounding, the spiritual grounding. Um, because that's you know, that's that's the compass, you know, that's the the path that we're supposed to be walking on. Um that yeah, we, you know, I yeah, the whole thing with um these metrics that we see, like how many likes, how many watches, like even if you have like as you were saying, I had this amazing doctor, uh Dermot Kearney from the UK, um, who does Abortion Pill Reversal, and I was looking at the numbers, like 20 views, but you said, you know, not to belittle that or anything, but you said that, you know, even if you say, you know, if one woman changed her mind about that, then that would have been worth it, right?
Sheila Nonato:Because it's not really about the numbers, it's about the people. It's like the souls, not the subs. They're not they're not subscribers, they're actually souls. And you're trying to reach them and have have an impact.
Joseph Nonato:That's right. And so, yeah, it's it's not about the numbers. It's it's about reaching the souls, but it's also about how we can sanctify this effort uh and make ourselves holy, right? Um, through this process. And I'm glad that I'm on this uh on this journey with you, my love. All right. So uh, you know, let's uh let's let's carry on with it and um keep on reaching out to uh to the people, right? And uh trying to contact more and more uh in people that we can interview. And then for my side there, I will try to help out with the armor side of the house, right? And so maybe you'll see some episodes there as we as we continue on. And I will try to uh you know, uh show you exactly what we talked about earlier, right? You know, how to sanctify the ordinary life through the special circumstances of uh of a military, uh uh military person.
