Whether you’re actively serving in the U.S. military, retired from military service, or you’ve been on a search for your purpose as a man, you’ll be encouraged by Chad Robichaux‘s authenticity. He doesn’t sugarcoat anything!

Yes, he’s a Force Recon Marine and a Pro Mixed Martial Arts Champion. But he’s also incredibly vulnerable!

Guest host Adam McManus explores his fascinating life story as they discuss his book entitled An Unfair Advantage: Victory in the Midst of Battle. He experienced successes and his failures in Afghanistan and in the MMA cage. But, most powerfully, he reveals the ugly truth as he struggled with PTSD, a near divorce, and almost becoming another veteran suicide statistic before he trusted Jesus Christ as his Savior. Chad founded the Mighty Oaks Foundation, which puts on powerful events, to help other veterans and their families.

Chad shares parallel stories of biblical warriors–like Moses, Jonathan, David, Esau, and Ehud–who faced similar struggles and reveals the “unfair advantage” that led them to victory in the midst of those battles.

His book is endorsed by President Donald Trump, Lt. General Jerry Boykin, and Dave Barton of WallBuilders.
