In this episode, we sit down with Richard, a military veteran who served three tours and returned home carrying a war no one could see. What followed was anger, broken relationships, loss of identity, and a battle with his own mind that nearly cost him his life.

Richard opens up about the moment he hit rock bottom — sitting in his living room, attempting to take his life, and pulling the trigger… only for the gun not to fire. As someone who had been around firearms his entire life, he knew this wasn’t a malfunction. It was divine intervention.

From that moment forward, everything began to change.

This conversation walks through Richard’s journey from military service to trauma, from destructive patterns to healing, and ultimately to surrendering his life to Christ in 2015. He shares how faith reshaped his identity, how his marriage became a place of growth instead of pain, and how discipline, community, and accountability keep him grounded today.

This episode is for anyone silently fighting battles no one else knows about. For anyone who feels broken, angry, or beyond repair. Richard’s story is proof that God can step in at the darkest moment and turn what should have been the end into a new beginning.

Life gives you two paths — and both are hard.

It’s hard to stay disciplined.

It’s hard to stay stuck.

It’s hard to follow Christ.

It’s hard to walk alone.

It’s hard to chase success.

It’s hard to keep struggling.

This episode breaks down what it really means to pick your hard and how the choices you make today shape the person you become tomorrow. This isn’t about hype — it’s about truth. A reminder that every hard thing you face is either pushing you closer to purpose or deeper into pain.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or drifting through life… this message is for you.

This is the moment you stop letting life happen to you and start choosing the version of yourself you want to become.

Episode 8 is here, and this one hits deep.

Today’s guest shares a childhood that mirrors a lot of what I went through — growing up fast, carrying pain in silence, and trying to build a life without the tools you should’ve had as a kid.

As an adult, he found himself in a marriage that was falling apart, convinced divorce was the only option… until life hit him with something he never expected: a cancer diagnosis.

What makes this story powerful is the loyalty and love his wife showed during the hardest season of his life — even when he was the one ready to walk away. God used that moment, that diagnosis, to break him open and force him to confront the parts of himself he’d been running from for years.

In this episode, we dive into:

• Growing up in similar childhood circumstances

• The struggles that shaped his adulthood

• His marriage reaching the breaking point

• The life-changing moment he was diagnosed with cancer

• How God used the storm to soften his heart

• His Chosen 2 Change moment

• Where he’s at today — mentally, emotionally, spiritually

• Faith, grace, and the verses that carried him through

This is a story of pain, loyalty, surrender, and the kind of healing only God can orchestrate.

If you’ve ever felt lost, unworthy, or stuck in the same patterns — this episode is your reminder that God can use the hardest seasons to rebuild you from the inside out.

Today we sit down with Darren — a young man fresh out of heartbreak, standing at one of the biggest crossroads of his life. After his high-school relationship ended, he felt lost, unsure whether to join the military or chase a new path in sales. He chose sales… and learned more than he expected.

But this episode isn’t a comeback story.

This is a setup story.

We talk about what it looks like to build your future before life hits, how to handle heartbreak as a young man, why discipline matters early, and the advice we wish someone would’ve given us at his age.

If you’re a young man trying to find direction, purpose, and identity — this one is for you.

Topics we cover:

• Heartbreak & identity

• Choosing the right path

• Military vs. sales

• Discipline, routine, and purpose

• What we wish we knew at 18

• Building a foundation before the comeback

• Faith, character, and slowing down your life

This episode is about becoming — not arriving.

Welcome to the journey.
