How’d You Go To War?
About This Conversation
How do you prepare for something that changes your life forever?
In this episode of Our Rough Draft, Tim shares the story of traveling to Iraq for the first time—from leaving home and training for war to landing in Baghdad and navigating daily life inside a combat zone.
Alongside those memories, Denise reflects on what deployment looked like from home as a young wife and mother. Together, they explore uncertainty, responsibility, teamwork, and the quiet ways people adapt when life changes overnight.
Whether you've experienced military life or another season that required courage and resilience, this conversation is an invitation to ask better questions about the stories people carry with them.
