In an effort to support the Five Pillars Of Military Wellness (Emotional, Physical, Spiritual, Social, and Family), we are creating this new e-mail digest focused on providing tools that our Warriors and their families, and even those in civilian life, can use to improve their health, mental state, and overall wellness. We want to provide exceptional value to those who are subscribed to receive information from Mighty Oaks, and over the coming months and years, we hope that these articles become a valuable resource to your life and the life of your families. Feel free to share this digest with anyone who you think might benefit from it. Thank you for your continued support and God bless.

The Mighty Oaks Foundation is committed to serving the brokenhearted by providing intensive peer-based discipleship through a series of programs, outpost meetings, and speaking events. Our Mighty Oaks Warrior Programs hosts such Men, Women, and Marriage Advance Programs at multiple locations nationwide. The Warriors who attend are fully sponsored for training, meals, and lodging needs to ensure that upon arrival to the ranch, each Warrior is focused solely on his or her recovery and identifying purpose moving forward.
We understand that applying to do anything is nerve-racking. We also get that feeling. Every one of our leaders has gone through the exact program you are contemplating applying for. The leaders will be the first to tell you to take that step, don’t procrastinate.
