Cdr. Christina Peterson with her son

There is something greater that comes out of the sacrifices our military families experience. That's what Navy Reserve Cmdr. Christina Peterson holds to be true as a reserve surface warfare officer, mom to three young boys and the wife of an active-duty Navy officer.

Christina shares the challenges she and her husband have overcome to balance their service obligations while raising their sons. Her honest and graceful description of the community of support they've relied on includes her sister's personal sacrifice, the love of their church family and a strong community of other military families oversees.

In this episode of "When Sacrifice Calls," host Lesley Lykins and guest Christina Peterson open up about the isolation, lost identity, and loneliness that can come with reserve service. And they discuss why the sacrifices are worth making when it means leaving the world a better place.
