He met his wife Tammy Wheeles at a small church in Huntsville, Alabama in 2003. Following a short courtship, they were married on Valentine\u2019s Day 2004 combining six, full-time children into one large stepfamily! After seeking the Lord for His direction and with the full backing of their children, they created Joseph Stepfamily Ministries and began offering the \u201cStepFamily 411\u201d Seminars to local churches. These unique seminars featured their entire stepfamily including Todd and Tammy as well as five of their six children, speaking about real blended family issues and sharing practical ideas on how to make blending work. Recently, Todd, Tammy, and their now grown children published their second book, an 8-week stepfamily small group curriculum entitled, Real Steps<\/em> which provides practical tips, Biblical wisdom, and unique insight from real step parents and their step kids on overcoming everyday blended family challenges. Todd also wrote a short summary of the unique stressors facing military stepfamilies which was published in Ron Deal\u2019s \u201cParticipant\u2019s Guide\u201d for The Smart Stepfamily<\/em> as well as several on-line and in-print articles on the \u201chow to\u2019s\u201d of blending a family.\n\nIn 2015, Todd and Tammy joined Cru Military (Campus Crusade for Christ \u2013 Military) as associate staff to launch Cru Military Stepfamily. This new stepfamily outreach, in cooperation with Ron Deal and FamilyLife Blended, combines the Gangl\u2019s practical tips, Biblical wisdom, and their kids\u2019 unique insights wrapped in Todd\u2019s military experiences. Their new seminar \u201cStepFamily Bootcamp\u201d helps military stepfamilies thrive at life inside the 3D\u2019s: lengthy Deployments, Distance parenting, and the rigid Demands of military life! Cru Military Stepfamily will now bring real help for everyday military stepfamily life to military stepfamilies, chaplains, and local churches who support military members!
