Most of you know I have a deep love for those who have served, those who serve, and for their families who support and pray for them along the way. I come from a strong line of military patriots and was taught early on that ‘Freedom wasn’t free....that it has a price.’ Take a walk through Arlington cemetery sometime if you have never done it like I’ve been able to do with my dad and it will deeply impact you. I’ve also learned through the years as a counselor the toll and impact that serving and war in particular can have on people. I’ve sat face to face with individuals that have witnessed some significant atrocities of war that have scarred them deeply and how difficult it can be to then embace the process of coming back home and reintegrating oneself into civilian life. I’ve learned that Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is real, and that many of our wounded HEROS struggle with loneliness, homelessness, and even suicide. Thankfully, during today’s conversation, you are going to hear a very moving and at times graphic story of one of America’s most decorated and finest military patriots and heros, Chad Robichaux. Chad is a former Force Recon Marine and DoD contractor with 8 deployments to Afghanistan as part of a Joint Special Operations Command Task Force. And although this man understands service and sacrifice, he also is no stranger to adversity. During today’s episode we will be going on a journey into the heart, mind, soul, and story of a man who has experienced brokenness yet found wholeness is an unwavering God. Thankfully, by the grace of God, Chad is now being used in a mighty way as a warrior in the Kingdom of God having started both the Mighty Oaks Foundation and the Save Our Allies non-profit - two incredible ministries that help and rescue dozens of military veterans as well as American allies and vulnerable people trapped in Afghanistan. If you are feeling led to give and help support financially, or even if you just want to learn more about these incredible missions and join the team of prayer warriors, please visit the links or check out some of Chad’s incredible resources below:
