## Resource

In this episode of The Plain Values Podcast … Some stories don’t just inspire you, they quietly rebuild your hope. That’s what happened the moment I sat down with Zach and Katie Miller. Zach, a former Air Force pilot and commercial airline captain, lost his first wife Kaley to cancer after a seven-year battle. Left to raise three young children, he found himself in the kind of darkness that makes a man question everything. But instead of staying there, Zach chose the hard road of redemption. Through deep faith, and relentless perseverance, he emerged with a burning conviction: to raise boys into real men who know how to lead, protect, and serve. That conviction became Arrow School for Men , a hands-on program in the mountains of Colorado where young men learn far more than survival skills. They learn character, brotherhood, and what it truly means to walk with the Lord. Then came Katie… Amish-raised, steady and strong, with a heart for family, animals, and building something beautiful from the ground up. Together, they’re blending two very different worlds into one: raising Zach’s children, starting a homestead at 7,500 feet, and creating a legacy of faith and resilience. In this conversation, you’ll hear raw honesty about grief, manhood, and second chances. You’ll hear an Amish preacher speak wisdom into a pilot’s pain. And you’ll walk away reminded that God doesn’t waste anything, not even our deepest valleys. If you’re a father, a husband, or anyone who longs to see the next generation raised with purpose, this episode is for you.
