EP 35: Military Deployments: No News is Good News? The Stress of Silence
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Silence can be scarier than bad news. When a deployment shifts, communication drops, and the world feels unstable, “no news is good news” can sound like comfort or like a brush-off depending on what you are carrying. We sit down as friends who have lived the long stretches and the hard headlines to ask the question behind the phrase: what do we do with not knowing, especially when our phones have trained us to expect constant contact?
We talk honestly about deployment communication expectations, why today’s instant-text culture creates whiplash when the messages stop, and how trying to track every update can turn into a false sense of control. We share the mental loops we have seen in ourselves and others, how panic does not change outcomes, and why it can be healthier to assume you may not hear from your spouse for weeks and still keep living your life with intention.
Then we go deeper into what actually helps: saying the scary thoughts out loud to a trusted friend or counselor, finding older voices who can steady you, and choosing real community over endless scrolling. We anchor the conversation in Scripture that has carried us, including Isaiah 26:3, Philippians 4, and a closing walk through Psalm 46, where “Be still and know that I am God” becomes more than a coffee-cup line. If you are a military spouse navigating anxiety, war news, or the silence of a combat deployment, this is a practical and faith-filled guide back to peace.
Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs steadiness, and leave a review so more military families can find it. What does “no news is good news” bring up for you right now?

Hello@militarywellnesscollective.com

Hey y'all. Welcome back to another episode of the Military Wellness Collective. I'm Britney and I'm going to be your host today. And I'm joined by my husband Joshua and I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_04I went a little faster.
SPEAKER_05And our good friends Brian and Kelly O'Day. Yeah. So I want to start this episode off a little bit different so that we can connect with y'all, our listeners and our new friends. Just so you can get to know us a little bit more. So I have a question for you guys today. Do you have any recommendations? Like, what have you been about books? You've been reading fiction, nonfiction, why you recommend it? What are you reading these days? Or if you listen to Audible, what are you listening to? Yes, yes.
SPEAKER_02Like now. Man, that's crazy you mentioned. So I don't do audiobooks. Okay. I never I'm literally finishing, I'm almost done, my first ever audiobook, and I stumbled into it, but it would be good whether I read it or audiobooked it, I'm convinced. It's called Redeeming Productivity by Reagan Rose. And I love productivity books. I don't know why. I love the genre. I've read a ton of productivity type books, and this is a Christian one, and it's really good. Maybe because I've read so many non-Christian productivity books that I'm always having to do the extra work of like figuring out, okay, yeah, but what does God say? And always having to make sure my my scriptural lens is very strong. But it was just really refreshing to have a Christian productivity book. It's so good. I just love the process that he goes through. So I'd highly recommend it. Redeeming Productivity Reagan Rose.
SPEAKER_05Very cool, very cool.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. I know you all can't see it, but everybody just looked over at me like I was going next. I guess I'm going next. So I am an audiobook guy. I love listening to audiobooks because I just do a lot of things. Yeah. And I do a lot of like active things where if I can listen while I'm doing and not think about what I'm doing, it works out great. Well, it's my happy place. So I dusted off a book called Tactics recently. It's helpful for evangelism and it really puts it in a good perspective. Trevor Burrus, Jr.
SPEAKER_02So this is not a military book, it's about evangelism tactics.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it's a Christian book, and the whole point is one of his main things is to leave people with a pebble in their shoe. And so the whole conversation, any conversation you have with people, it comes around to the gospel. But not everybody is to the point of like hearing the gospel. Usually they're trying to get over some hurdles to get there. So he talks about wherever the person is at, walking with them in that, and then leaving them with a thought-provoking question or something going on or something that they can think about so that when they walk away, it's as if a pebble is in their shoe, they keep thinking about it even after the conversation breaks.
SPEAKER_04And I hate a rock in my shoe.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_04I don't know if anybody else does, but me too. I cannot. Tiny little pebbles. And I love to walk around barefoot. But if it's in my shoe, I don't like it.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. You got anything you're reading, Kelly? Um, well, I just started The Anxious Generation. Anxious Generation by Jonathan Hay or whatever. Hate? I don't know how you say his name. I think and I was gonna read. Gosh, it just went away. Sorry. The subtitle was good because but it I just started it. I'm looking forward to it. But it basically talks about the decline in youth mental health with the introduction of all the smartphones and all that stuff. And so just being in education and having kids myself and grandkids, it's just yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Not a Christian book, but a very, very well researched book. I'm looking forward to reading it when you're done. It has been referenced by everybody. It's been a very popular book in the past couple of years.
SPEAKER_05It's good. Yeah. So I it I'm I like a good paper book. Yes. Because I love to highlight and write in books and like write down quotes. But I have found myself, it's weird. I was never an Audible girl, but I there's two types of books I will listen to on Audible. I love wellness books. So if it's about nutrition or anything like that, I'll listen to it on Audible. And sometimes biographies.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Um I can see that.
SPEAKER_05But every other book, I like it paper. So I just finished a book called Order in Your Private World by Gordon McDonald. And that is a fantastic read. It's a Christian book about caring for your soul, like what God tells us about our inner world and how that manifests outwardly. It's really, really good. Highly recommend it. It's very easy to digest. That's the second time I've read it, and I got way more from it. This time I read it probably 10 years ago. It's an older book. And then for fun, for leisure reading, I'm not a good leisure read girl. So I've been reading classics. So I'm reading through the series The Anne of Green Gables. And I love it so much. I just, it's a good story.
SPEAKER_02And I just I just love it.
SPEAKER_05I haven't read it in so long.
SPEAKER_02I haven't ever read it, but you quoted it once in an accent, uh, earlier, way early episode of this podcast. And so I'm looking forward to some more Anna Green Gables. Was it a Marilla quote? Yes.
SPEAKER_05I just love Anna Green Gables. It's especially when our world feels like it's falling apart. It's just a wholesome story about Prince Edward Island. If you've never read or watched the movies, I highly encourage it. Maybe I need to again. And then my audible book I'm listening to is Ultra Process People for Wellness. If you like Wellness, it's not a Christian book, but I highly recommend that. Listen.
SPEAKER_02Well, your first one, I don't know that you were allowed to do three, but anyway. Oh, but that's what I'm reading right now. Yeah, I'm reading multiple books too, but I didn't need a flex. I'm not a category.
SPEAKER_00No, I wasn't trying to like the Bible. I guess that is. The Bible we're already looking at.
SPEAKER_05I was not trying to get it. I was trying to say, like, if you want wellness, this, if you need leisure, this categories.
Defining No News Is Good News
SPEAKER_02Whatever category you're in, Britney's reading about it. Probably not. Ordering your private world is a beautiful segue to what we're going to talk about today. Yeah. No news is good news. And I'm advocating for us to put a question mark on the end of that in our title.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, we even talked about that a lot before we turn these mics on. Like this is not a statement. We want to ask that. No news is good news.
SPEAKER_01Whereas we had the conversation, I actually like it with a period because it comes up a conversation. Yeah. And when you say it to somebody, typically it's coming out as a statement. But we'll get into that, I'm sure.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. My question to you guys, just starting off, is so this is kind of like an old school term, I guess, for us retired military families. I don't even know if they say this anymore to y'all out there, you younger people. Message us, tell us if you've heard this.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, no news is that would be helpful.
SPEAKER_05You can email us at military wellness or hello at militarywellness collective.com and let us know if you've heard this before this podcast.
SPEAKER_02And how's it hit when it hits you? If somebody says no news is good news, how's that hit you? Because we're gonna get into some of that ordering our private world.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, especially because we're in a generation where we are inundated with news consistently, text messages, emails, different apps you can communicate through, TV, smartphones, all the things. So when y'all hear this, since we heard this in our young military lives, what what do you think of from that question or statement? However, you view that.
How Deployment Silence Hits Home
SPEAKER_01Well, there's two main contexts that this comes up in. And one is very few and far between it actually happens. I think us being deployed and we're in a different country doing a job, doing something in the military. And we've said this to each other sometimes, like, hey, if we don't hear anything from back home, we just assume everything's going fine, right? So no news is good news.
SPEAKER_05Assume that's a good word. Like, okay, I shouldn't stress about it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Unless I hear otherwise.
SPEAKER_01But but that's less of the concern, and that's usually less of the the muddied waters. Usually the context is a wife back here at home on the home front, doing her thing, and she's worried about what's going on overseas, and then it comes up as hey, no news is good news. As in, if you haven't heard from him, he's probably okay. And so that's that's generally the context.
SPEAKER_05So that's what you think of when you hear that. Okay. Do y'all have any questions?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I think if I am focused on the tasks and like responsibilities the Lord has for me where I am, then this really resonates with me and this really helps me to focus on the task that I have here. So a lot of times the context that we're talking about this is like, well, what about back home? Or what about where he is, or what about, you know, we're thinking about somewhere else. And when I can remind myself, well, no news is good news, that allows me to focus on the things that the Lord has for me here and now. Because if I'm like, oh, what if, you know, when I was deployed, my wife liked to load all the kids in the car and drive to her parents' house or to go on vacation or to go somewhere for a period of time. And I'm like, what if they all like die in a car accident together? What if something happens to them? What if you know, you know, you start to think about these things, and I'm like, how would I even find that out? How would I even know such a thing? Well, I can't like I can't spiral down that too far. I need to focus on what God has for me here.
unknownThat's good. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Do you mean that Kelly? I think of just don't panic. Like, I don't know, because I think say that again. Don't panic. Because that that that's what I think of first, because I think I had to go there and your first two deployments. We just, I mean, there were a lot of casualties back then. This was after 9-11. And I think I just had to kind of work through that, thinking about as I watch the news or hear things, like no news is good news. Like, don't panic. Panic is not going to change anything. Yeah, that's good. Like, it's just not. And it's really just like a wrestling with the Lord. I think the sovereignty of the Lord. Right. All of this is like, do I trust the Lord in where my husband is, whether he's beside me or across the world? Yeah.
SPEAKER_02I think one of I want to like, I want to feel for the present moment a little bit. So we we had a bunch of lead up into our deployments. So we talk about Kelly said, there's a lot of casualties in the wars that Joshua and I were in. We were we were all Iraq. Iraq. I did Iraq and Afghanistan. But anyway, we were we were there, and so but there was some lead up to that. So actually, about a month before I joined the military, we buried one of my best friends from high school. And Kelly, my girlfriend at the time, we were engaged, came to that funeral. Like I'm preparing to join the military. She comes with me to my hometown to watch me carry the casket to one of my best friends from high school who had just died in Iraq. And and watch my mom wrestle through all that, and she's wrestling through all this. We think we're moving towards marriage, but you know, I'm sure you're wondering how serious was all that. So she had to, so that processing of okay, this is what's happening, this is what we're going towards, this is what could happen, that was happening every step of the way. Right. Whereas today, like as we record this, the like as we record this, we're currently at war with Iran. And that kind of showed up on our doorstep relatively fast in in the scope of things. And so those who are deploying now, or those who are deployed now, like some of these things weren't happening when the deployment started. Right. Some of these folks like weren't a deployment wasn't on the on the radar, and all of a sudden, like, you're going, you're going, you're going. And so some of that on-ramp didn't happen. And so I I say this a lot. The best day to plant a tree is 20 years ago. Second best day to plant a tree is today. And so if you haven't gone through the processing of, oh no, the worst could happen, that needs to have its effect in your life. Like, yeah. So we we had some time to do that ahead of time. And so some of this, like, I gotta watch the news, I gotta know what's going on, I gotta some of that is because you haven't done that processing. Right. We had months and sometimes years to do that processing. So that processing may need to happen later than you would want it to. Maybe you wish you could have done that processing pre-deployment, but allow that to have its effects and and do that processing now.
Communication Expectations In Conflict
SPEAKER_05Yeah, you just said something like maybe you haven't had time to do that. Sometimes, I should speak into this, you don't want to do it. You don't want to think through that. You would, and so you have this facade of control, like if you're watching the news or you're, you know, clamoring and panicking, it makes you feel in the moment like you can control the outcome and and almost like if I panic about it, it'll be okay. In a weird, distorted way, right? But I just want you to know that that's false. Like it's it's that's distorted. It's not truth. Like the more you panic doesn't mean it's gonna be okay. The more you watch the news doesn't mean it's gonna be okay. So if you haven't had the time and you don't want to do it, I would just encourage you to think like, why don't I want to do it? Do I really trust God that He is sovereign in this? When I think of no news as good news, I think we have to manage our communication expectations. Like Brian just said at the time of this recording, we found ourselves at war with Iran. And so communication is going to look different. You might have had frequent texts or frequent emails. And so, speaking from experience, uh, we just want to give you guys some insight of what communication could look like now and what that expectation is from the other side of being there before. Does that make sense? So what are some communication expectations on a non, I guess I don't even know. Do we call this combat tours? Because I like okay, so what are healthy, right thinking communication expectations when you find yourself in more of a combat tour, combat deployment style? What are some things these young families can expect to help them through that?
SPEAKER_02I think the first thing I want to say is as we watch this from the sidelines now, I can appreciate the whiplash of like you had communication a lot, and now it's gone to minimal, if any.
SPEAKER_00Sometimes it's up, sometimes it goes down. We didn't really experience that. So I feel like for us at that level, I can't.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, us old folks, we just didn't have communication. So we just learned we just didn't talk much. Yeah. And we just learned how to deal with that. But the whiplash of yeah, he's across the world, but I still text every day. Yeah. That's that's probably gone in a ton of situations right now. So I just want to commiserate with you as we watch that. Like, that's hard. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Can I add to that? Like just I'm sorry, I'm stopping your riff here and I'll just bounce it back to you. But it's also whiplash in a different way where you have this marine expeditionary unit that went out and it was not pre like it was not going towards combat. They were prepared, they knew this was a possibility, but it wasn't likely that they were going to be in some major conflict because they hadn't been for years. So they were going out, probably gonna do some training, maybe do some interdiction things, maybe do like a humanitarian thing. Normal stuff. Normal stuff, right? So they go out without all of this expectation, and then it happens. Right. Now every everything gets whiplash. The other whiplash that's going to happen at some point is these mews that are going out now are like, we're going to war. But by the time they float across the pond, maybe that bullet stopped. Right. So like the ones that are being prepared for it may not actually be in it. And the ones that weren't prepared for it are the ones that are in it. So yeah, it's the the whole point is, is you don't know.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_02And yeah, I would also I I think a couple things I would encourage is talk to talk to some trusted folks who maybe have done some things. So there's still folks in the military who have some recent history in this. There's not a lot, but maybe talk to some of those folks. If there's a trusted guy, even if you're having to bridge some rank structure things, reach out to those folks or reach out to some veterans you know as you're able to. But we're talking primarily with the communication thing, is what Britney's asking about. It's safe to assume you may not talk for weeks. And you need to learn what to do with that. That you may not talk for weeks. For me, his history does help in this, and I'm not a big historian, but like Kelly's grandfather fought in World War II.
SPEAKER_00And he my grandmother didn't hear from him for like over years, and it was crazy.
SPEAKER_02I don't I don't remember exactly, but it was letters.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, he went to war and he was gone for most of three years. Three years. He was deployed fighting World War II and they would get letters. Yeah. They'd get letters every once in a while. And so again, I get the whiplash that like you've never had that before in your entire life. That like this person I know I can't communicate with at all times, at any time. Like for somebody to go, you know, 10 minutes without texting me back in in our culture is weird. And now you're saying I might not hear from my spouse for three weeks. Yeah. And so I that's the expectation. You asked expectation of you, it may be weeks before you hear from your spouse. What do you do with that?
SPEAKER_05Normal. Like, okay, this is my new normal for now, for this season. It eliminates, like Kelly talked about some of the panic. Like, okay, I need to live life. I need to move through life. I need to enjoy things. I need to get outside. I need, you know, it's okay to live life. When I hear, like what you're talking about, it three weeks could be that could be a long time. When I what I was told as a young wife, no news is good news, meaning if I don't hear from him for three weeks, I can assume everything is fine unless the proper procedure has been done through, I don't know if every branch calls it, but the Marine Corps is Caico officers. Like, unless they show up at my door to tell me he's dead, that then this is he's fine, right? Or if you've listened to past episodes or if you haven't, there are certain procedures where you'll receive a phone call and then follow-on information. And I have experienced that. So just that expectation of you're not gonna hear from him every day.
SPEAKER_00And I think I had to just imagine that in a way. Because in my worry and maybe panicking of lack of control and fears, I had to walk through that. Like, okay, what if? And it I think it is something to wrestle with. Like, do I trust God with my husband when I don't have any idea what's going on or if he's gonna come back alive? So I just think it's a great opportunity it was for me and my faith, and just trusting the Lord and answering those questions. Okay, what if the worst happens? What if someone comes to knock on my door? Is my life over? Do I still trust the Lord? Is God still good? Like all these questions come up, you know, to wrestle through. And I think maybe these days. Or a little different. Maybe we just need to make space to ask those questions, you know, like force ourselves to not not go there and dwell on like, what if, you know, my worst fears come true? But to ask ourselves, do I trust God? Do I really trust Him when I don't know? When I don't have the information of where my husband is, or I haven't heard from him.
Community Support Over Social Media
SPEAKER_01Yeah, anxiety is a horrible thing. And you could be anxious about all these things. And did it actually help anything? Did it change anything? It's not going to change anything. Yeah. And especially I don't know if this would be helpful, but maybe if the wives would go and see that trusted counselor that would be able to verbalize some of those things to get it out of their head and out of their out of their out of their hearts, just so that they can process that well. Because we all get into that mind loop sometimes of you're worrying about one thing that brings you to another thing you're worried about, which brings you back to the first thing that you're worried about, and you just cycle through that in your mind.
SPEAKER_05I just had a moment, you saying that, trusted counselors for wives. Actually, last week we had something at our church called Coffee Connections and the women get together. And I had been telling our older daughter, who's now married to military, like this, it's just so different now. Like we would gather together and the older wives would like listen to us and they would speak truth to us. Or like if we were thinking wrong somewhere, they would point it out. And but we loved these women, you know, and like we would just sit around in each other's homes and have coffee. And that was just normal life, you know, because we didn't have Instagram and Facebook and all that. We were at coffee connections and some a topic came up and it went deeper than it usually does. Because a lot of y'all are reading blogs or articles. You don't go talk to the women that know you. And I want to encourage you to do that. Like they know your life. And the conversation, it was beautiful. It just older women that were there started talking to the younger women about deployment and certain things. And we got in the car to come home. And our daughter was with me, and she said, I feel like that's what you've told me happened before. She was like, That was amazing. Like this was so cool. You know, she was excited about it. Like, oh, that's what you were talking about. I just want to encourage you to talk to women that you know. Don't just look for like these military pages on social media and try to gain insight. Why it might encourage you, if you're in a church that's heavily military, there are probably some women there that have been through some things with their husband that you know they love you, they know you, and they want to walk with you in that. I just want to say that. Yeah, it's good.
Scripture For Anxiety And Closing Prayer
SPEAKER_02That's so good. Yeah. There are folks, if you seek it out, and you may have to create some of that community. A local church in your military community is is the most likely place to find a healthy version of what you're talking about. But you may have to initiate some of these conversations. You may have to, like Joshua said, you may have to say the scary things out loud and say, Hey, I'm really worried. Can we can we get together this week? Can I come over? Can you come over? Whatever the case is. And to talk to some of these folks who have lived it, who have done these types of things before. I think another thing too, it isn't so it's an invitation. So no news is good news. I would say no news is an invitation, right? Like it's an invitation to pray to the God who knows all things. Yeah. Like you're or it's an invitation to try to know all things, and you will fail in the trying to know all things.
SPEAKER_05You'll fail in that that's you watching the news.
SPEAKER_02Right. That's like watching the news 20 hours a day is not going to help. You're not going to know everything. You're going to know people's commentary on what's happening. But it's an invitation to talk to God and to pray to God, and it's an invitation into good, profitable Christian community, like you're talking about. Yes. Titus to older men, younger men, older women, younger women, tight as to uh written 2,000 years ago. This is what you need. You need ancient old school tactics for battling this current dilemma.
SPEAKER_03It's good.
SPEAKER_02Can I read? Oh, go ahead.
SPEAKER_00I was gonna just share verses. Okay, well, we'll both do it. I have Isaiah 26, 3 that is I just have to go to over and over again. And I remember reading this. You keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you because he trusts in you. And I think in those moments, like we want peace. Our hearts are like wrestling and just unsettled. And the only way when we don't know is the Lord. Like it is truly the only way to have peace.
SPEAKER_01The verse I had talks about the peace of God as well. Philippians 4 says, Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to God, and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Which surpasses all understanding.
SPEAKER_05Both of those verses are surrender. Yours said, You have peace. And there was like a caveat to that. If you trust in God. So if you're lacking peace, it's a good invitation to ask, Do I truly trust God or do I want my own way? And then yours, the Joshua, the do not be anxious, like the peace is coming because you're trusting the Lord, who he is, the character we've talked about. Journaling, that was like one of our very early episodes. You can go back and listen to that. Kelly's talked about fighter verses, like pulling out those journals. Where are your memorial stones where you have seen God's goodness? He is just as good in times of trouble, in scary times, when you're like waiting for news and not receiving it. Um were you gonna say something?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I would also say the the psalms, right? Like those big questions all throughout the psalms, like so many psalms start with where are you, Lord? How long, oh Lord? How long will my enemies prevail against me? How so like God is big enough for those big questions. Don't shy away from asking those big questions and turning to the Lord in prayer.
SPEAKER_05That's so good. Speaking of Psalms, I'm gonna close this out with Psalm 46. I'm gonna read through it and just kind of point out some words that I have highlighted in here. But when we when we close this out and we're looking at no news is good news, we just really want to encourage you in this time that we find our ourselves in that it's gonna look a little different. And you you need to rely on the Lord. And I know that's easier said than done. We've been there, we've done it, and we've wrestled through it, but doing the hard work is actually really helpful and beneficial. So I'm gonna read Psalm 46, and I'm gonna read the whole thing because I just think it's beautiful. It says, God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling, there is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the most high. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved. God will help her when morning dawns. The nations rage, the kingdoms totter, he utters his voice, and the earth melts. The Lord of hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our fortress. Come behold the works of the Lord, how he has brought desolation on the earth, he makes war cease to the end of the earth, he breaks the bow and shatters the spear, he burns the chariots with fire. Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord of hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our fortress. And I just have so many notes in my Bible in this passage. This is a passage that I learned to pray through. When no news is good news, you can come back to this and pray, God, I know you are my refuge, you are my strength, I know you are a very present help. And I just love where he says in verse eight, come behold the works of the Lord. Remember those works that God has done. And then he gives instruction to us be still and know that I'm God. That is peace within. So do you have something?
SPEAKER_02Man, that's a coffee cup verse, be still and know that I am God. But it's in the midst of it. Go read and meditate on that entire psalm. Every time you see, you know, somebody has a what do you call those things? The placard in their house that says, Be still and know that I'm God, or somebody's coffee cup, like, oh yeah, Psalm 46. Like, go read and meditate that entire psalm. Powerful truths. I recommend doing that with all coffee cup verses.
SPEAKER_01Go read the whole thing. They're probably really good. Yeah, they're probably great.
SPEAKER_05I just I love this passage where it talks about the kingdom's daughter and God makes war cease. Yeah. Be still and know. My friends, no news is good news. Be still and know that he is God. We love you guys, and we'll see you back here next week.
