I love you Shawn. God bless you and your family. The negative energy worshippers will never win. I have angels follow me my entire life and I’ve seen mountain sized ufos plus the men in black. I wish all and any energies to protect you and your family during this time. God bless you and your family and friends again shawn. Always been my favourite KZbinr ever. If the blackout happens soon I know you will be prepared. And I cast protection into you and your family’s life and ask the angels that follow me to guard you. You have already done enough for humanity. People like you need a break. I can’t imagine the emotions your going through. I have lately been having angels come up to me on the streets reading my mind and telling me I’m a genius and stuff without even knowing who they are, and they somehow know all about me and my doctor and that I wanted to join JTF2 etc…… very strange and interesting stuff has been happening to me. Angels and protective energies and spirits are real. And I’m asking them to grant you and your family and friends protection in these times. Love you Shawn. 🤍🤍🤍😇😇😇

anyone else see the irony in the fact across all 3 branches of Tier 1 special operations.. Gold Squadron has lost the most lives by a considerable amount and yet they're one of the only squadrons across the board who are heavily invested in religion and faith? maybe 'god' doesn't like the fact these men go out every night and put bad people in forever boxes..✝

I’m amazed at how articulate and composed Dom is. It’s always sad to see combat vets on SRS dealing with service related TBI.

Hi Shawn, my name is Riccardo and i'm writing to you from Italy. I have always had great respect for those who join the armed forces, my father was a "Folgore paratrooper" in the Italian army, during the military draft and he passed on to me many values ​​that he learned in that period, thanks to the army. Unfortunately, my dad passed away a few years ago due to illness and since then, videos like the ones you make on your show are a source of great inspiration for me, because it's as if his words resonate through your guests; your program is helping me a lot, from the point of view of the "right approach to life", especially videos like this one with guest Dom ( in which I see a lot of my dad's character ), have made me reflect a lot on the topic of "Faith" . So really thank you so much for your content, i'm very grateful to you and your guests.

[@kodak_sack8163]

Its hard to call any interview done on this channel the "best" but Dom has changed my life today. For a long time I've rejected the idea of God because of my demons and trauma but you and Dom have shown me that being a badass is one thing but being a badass in the name of something bigger than yourself is the way of a true warrior. Its been a long time since I've said this but God bless you two!!!

Wow. Really no words - the power of the podcast is beyond words, and explanation. The work of God was surely working in this episode through you both. I recently (I’m 26, husband, dad) found christ. Almost same timing as Shawn. Been a listener since day one. What a truly incredible testimony both these men share. Dom blew me away… already knew Shawn’s brilliance and faith in Christ, but Doms way of explaining and talking about his walk with God was simply inspiring to be as he and Shawn are. I have written both Shawn and doms names in my prayer book. Love these two brothers in Christ and pray one day I can ask my own questions to them. Weather on earth or in heaven together!

Shawn your show has changed my life for the better in so many ways, I can’t thank you and those you have interviewed enough for telling your stories. I think another really good way to thank guys like Dom and all the others you have interviewed on your show, is to find the best “grateful” comments from each episode from the fans and frame them a few months after the episode airs and send them to your guests. It’s not much, but I think it would be a small physical token of our gratitude ( the fans ) for them sharing their toughest moments in sometimes painful emotional detail. It’s truly does help, and at least I can say it’s changed me for the better. Eternally grateful, God bless 🇺🇸

We are living out the Book of Revelation right now and are on the precipice of Jesus calling us up to meet Him in the clouds and for the Wedding Banquet as tribulation is coming in just like the birth pangs of a woman bearing a child, both in frequency and intensity. It’s been absolutely incredible watching the last days prophesies and signs being fulfilled and amazing watching how only God could make the signs filled with distinction and clarity. 2024 and the world has no idea covid is going to look like a festival with parades and cotton candy compared to what’s coming down the pike this year.

It’s about the urge I feel in my chest when I hear the stories on your show. The urge I get when I hear someone attacked us, again and again and I do nothing…Some say im weak for having these thoughts, some say im just outright stupid.

Shawn, I’m a firefighter in Sacramento Ca, and it has been a heavy year for us. My crew in particular, one of my best friends and partners at work is on his death bed as a 30 year old with a wife and young daughter due to job related cancer. He’s one of 7 plus in our battalion alone diagnosed this year. I’m a “new guy” as I’ve only been on two years. I’ve seen the worst and best of the fire service in my short time already. This episode in particular has helped me a lot, in giving me tools for my own mental health. The regular trauma we see everyday, and the loss my crew and our department are about to take with our friend and teammate weigh heavy. I’ve got 35 years left and I understand I’m going to constantly need to work on my mental, and physical to make it that long.

The Holy Spirit is our teacher but we have to unlock the Word by reading the word from the bible. The inner peace and the discernment we get from it will totally take you to a new level of spirituality 🙏. I love seeing the harvest grow and watching the Lord separate the sheep from the goats. Open the book 📖 and let the Holy Spirit bring living water into your being. I started with the story of Gideon. Read a book if you can, not just a chapter or two.

God's suffering in sending His only Son, Jesus, to the cross to pay for our sins, and then to rise gloriously from the dead so that we can be made righteous in His sight! "O death, where is your sting?" We, who are in Christ, are new creations, the old man is gone, behold all things have been made new! Best interview yet, Shawn! Sending this to my buddies!

At 55, a Christian, a Marine, lifelong patriot with a love for America, our military a way of life, I became a watchman following the Bible and all the last days prophecy and end times signs and wonders, I can easily attest as promise you that we are in the very last moments of end days, America’s judgement began after America’s eclipse in 2017 with the stolen election with the fake puppet man playing chief. When Israel became a nation May 1948 the final generation began that will not pass before Jesus returns and the Bible states that a generation is seventy years unless by strength eighty. We are running past the timeline because the final seven years is the tribulation. Governments across the world are working with Satan and the fallen angels. That’s the reason why government is disclosing aliens/ufos for they are fallen angels and demons which is part of the great deception coming. When Jesus disciples asked Him what the sign would be for His return, He told the parable of the mustard seed “a wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign but none will be given except for the sign of prophet Jonah” These were the two eclipses which America received. The first crossed seven “Salems” short for Jerusalem which means peace. The second eclipse which just occurred crossed I believe nine “Ninevahs” which is the city Jonah warned and also crossed in little Egypt. Everyone needs to accept Jesus and repent. Time is up. I could sit and give examples countless times with signs, wonders and prophesies, and I will give you more if desired but I pray read this and understand.

He overcame his ghost, and he and my mother raised four kids, ten grand kids and three great grand kids. All because my dad kept swinging. He never quit.

​@jakemullins4002 Get the help. We hear a lot about the VA system, but it does work for many. Empathy and patience. My dad was intentional with both. Prayer. Jesus Christ died on that cross for all of us. Know that by His Grace, you are free. Forgiven. That's the truth man. You don't have to be a "Churchian" to be forgiven. We never attended but it was in our home every day. Especially during the hard times. You'll get through it. You will.

[@john_trimble78]

When I was 16 years old, I went to the VA with my dad and asked to speak with his doctor. The doc took the time to explain to me what PTSD/NPD were and how it affects people. My dad specifically. That was huge for me. That empathy and patience was a two way street. I stopped taking everything personal when my dad had a tough time and that was big. At some point, explain to your kids what you're dealing with. Obviously, the older they get the easier it is to explain. Never quit. Fall down 7 times get up 8. My dad preached that every day. Never quit. Never quit. Be intentional with it.

An absolutely amazing show, all episodes with so many lessons. For me this was the most impactful episode to date. Fighting evil at the tip of the spear, killing so many bad people and seeing so many demons is a very heavy load to take on. I can't see how it doesn't affect someone, the big difference I see from this show is how and why the different operators manage this load. I feel the earlier the operator comes close to God and their faith , the sooner the load they took on during their times of war is relieved. Best wishes to you , Dom and your families. Ive taken a lot from you both to guide me in raising my 2 small daughters of which I have the honour and pleasure of raising alone physically with the most powerful power from God.

Here we go!

[@christopheravery5808]

I am a very very busy person, but I do my best to listen to these shows. This particular one spoke to me on a deep deep level. I actually refused to close the video until I listened to the entire 5 and a half hours. I only had 20 minutes here and 20 minutes there and it took me 3 days to get through it because of my schedule, but I felt like the message and the stories were very important. I was an 0311(infantryman for those who dont know) in the Marine Corps, and things have not always been easy since I transitioned back into civilian life back in 2009. This episode moved me, everything from the talk of christianity to the stories of Dom’s combat missions and deployment. I am also a father of 2 daughters and my girlfrined has 3 more kids so having 5 kids myself depending on me really got me paying attention. During the conversation about “loss and losing buddies in combat” I started to tear up because I lost 7 people really close to me in Ramadi back in 2007-2009 and its something I have struggled with ever since. I have been throuhg plenty of therapy, but it did a world of good to listen to someone talk that I can just relate to on the most deep and spirital level. I am so glad you intervied Dom, and I would like to thank him as well because this really helped me put things in perspective. I have been watching for a while but I don’t comment very often. I just wanted to let you know that your entire channel has helped me tremendously, so please know that I truly apprecate it. Ever since you did the episode about dealing with social anxiety I have been paying attention. Keep up the good work, you are out here changing lives.

[@jeremyhunt7488]

Shawn and Dom, I have never written a review for a podcast episode. Never. But this one...well, this one was something special. Gents, I am a practicing Catholic husband and father of 6. I struggle just like anyone else. The grind of being a parent, spouse. The grind that is work, bills, etc. And I desperately needed to hear what Dom spoke today. I brought it to our family prayers this evening and came to the realization that I need to redouble my efforts in truly living out my vocations. If you're wondering if your podcast reached anyone. I mean REALLY reached them. As in caused them to consider changing and growing into the man that God is calling him to be. I'm here to say it has. Mission accomplished. I heard you. Hard copy. Thank you. Please pray for my family and I. Shawn...pray that Rosary! Rattle those beads! St. Padre Pio called them his weapon. I'll join you and make it my most important daily EDC. Check out Fatima. Mama SAID!Thanks again, gents. In Him Our All, Jeremy

[@mikeonkst4471]

I absolutely love Dom's mindset on all aspects of every answer he gave you. All your questions were really good questions and love how he responded. I was a flight paramedic for a hospital and saw all kinds of things and people all the time asked me if I ever had problems sleeping at night from what I've seen and experienced while on the job and the answer was always no and God always protected me because my intentions were always to serve and save lives. Dom's comments about whether or not the intent being "just" when you were asking him about the difference between the mental effects of using a blade or a gun, his response was so spot on! There should be a reel made on that! It's a great way of reconciliation with that struggle that I know many deal with. Never heard anyone put it that way before! Love his mindset!!!

[@CRUSHEVERYTHING]

THANK YOU BROTHER AND GOD BLESS EVERYONE!

[@Tzarcastically]

I gotta say Shawn you truly are the best my brother in Christ. I was struggling with something and I didn’t know what it was until I listened to the John Lovell episode and he described the feeling of being heart broken and it was the Holy Spirit trying to speak to him. Ever since then I’ve started a relationship with Jesus and man God is good. Love you Shawn and I’m so grateful for this platform. God bless you brother and everyone that reads this.

I'm a 38 years old male, from Puerto Rico. After watching this, I wish I had the maturity back when I was younger to make the decision to enlist, but wasted my time doing other things. This interview was very inspiring and emotional. I don't regret having my wife and daughter now, but if I could be born again, I would make different life decisions to take my life into the path of a warrior like you Dom Raso. Thank you and you comrades for your service. 🇺🇸🇵🇷❤🦅

Dom is a great inspiration and role model for men young and old. It's never too late to change your outcome! Thank you again for what you do, Shawn! Perhaps consider getting Bill Rapier on the show. Another humble man of God, who is incredibly competent in his field and a model of lethality.

Thank you so much, I needed to here this today. I am 6 months clean/sober and relying heavily on my new found faith. The changes both internally/externally that have recently happened in my life are miraculous, because of God's grace.

I am fairly typical as far as men go. I used to weigh too much so I lost the excess weight. I used to drink beer but I quit when i lost weight. I do have a few other “hobbies” that I may find I need to change. I don’t need an excuse to do anything in life. I surely do appreciate folks who have been through what you guys describe and you are choosing to look inward for direction. These choices to make change come from your brain and how much you believe in yourselves. Life isn’t always easy but it seems better to take the gift of life and make the best decisions you can to help your family and friends (and others). Keep on doing what you are doing. Only my opinion but you are probably going to watch your family grow and become a good part of our society. Keep the passion for life alive.

Just started listening today and hearing you refer to him as someone you look up to - I’d be remiss if I didn’t take this opportunity to tell you the same. The work you’ve done, the work you’re doing, and the work I know you’ll continue to do is something, even at 42, I look up to. Your breed (special operators - veterans - soldiers - no matter the level) is something I cannot appreciate more and I just want to thank you, on behalf of my wife and little girl, from the bottom of my heart for the service and the sacrifice you and your brethren have provided - and continue to provide. 📿🇺🇸💪
