Chad Robichaux is a champion MMA Champion Fighter, a former police officer, and a Force Recon Marine veteran who served eight deployments to Afghanistan. Despite his extensive training and personal achievements, including a black belt in jiu-jitsu and success in the military and fighting cage, Chad nearly became a suicide statistic as a result of PTSD, depression, and a broken marriage. Chad experienced significant trauma at a young age. His father, a Vietnam Marine veteran, was abusive, and Chad’s older brother was tragically murdered. When Chad was seventeen years old, he joined the Force Recon Marines and deployed to Afghanistan. After witnessing the injustice inflicted upon countless innocent people, Chad became filled with hate, rage, and bitterness. Between deployments, Chad became a winning MMA fighter but continued to struggle with PTSD. In 1995, he married his wife, Kathy, and started a family. Chad later became a New Orleans police officer, and he and Kathy began to attend church. Despite counseling and medication, Chad’s anxiety and depression became so intense that he left his family. One night, on the verge of suicide, God intervened when Kathy visited Chad and pleaded with him. Realizing he was at rock-bottom, Chad recommitted his life to God and reconciled his marriage.
