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.
