Episode 83: The Resiliency of Divorced, but NOT denied, Dad Dwight Scott

THE Wartime Leadership Podcast: The Resiliency of divorced, but not denied, dad Dwight Scott! Dwight is a retired US Air Force Security Forces member AND a former teamie of mine when we served as Military Training Instructors together. Dwight retired from the military to focus on his growing family and to allow the dust of the battle rhythm to settle, only to find himself struggling alongside his wife. Separated and living apart, Dwight was taken to court for child support, unknowingly having to represent himself against a well-educated attorney his estranged wife had hired. The attorney questioned his character, the quality of service to our country and his role as a father. Life became overly complicated quickly, but foundational things remained constant… Dwight’s dedication to God and God’s love for Dwight.

Always focused on personally developing those around him, Dwight put pen to paper to write some of the most amazing, heartfelt words I have ever read. In his book The Armed Forces Devotional Guide to a Fulfilling Career Dwight wrote: “A military career is about sacrificing and protecting the freedom and liberties of those around you. How can you continue the drive to accomplish the mission while having an internal force that can prevent burnout? The answer is this: by renewing your spirit and allowing God's power in all aspects of your life. Many military members understand how to improve their physical fitness or gain education through classes, but how do we gain spiritual fitness...The uniform we wear is indeed the fabric of our nation; however, we neglect the stitching that holds it all together--our heavenly Father.” Dwight is turning his pain into God’s glory by writing a currently untitled devotional for divorcees...till then you can find his current books at the links provided below:
