Faith After The Fire with Gene Bennett

We talk with Iraq War veteran and author Gene Bennett about PTSD, grief, and how faith, discipline, and real community can steady a life that still feels on edge. We also wrestle with the VA, medication culture, and why understanding and reconciliation matter more than winning arguments. • Gene’s background, family life, and time in Iraq • How Man Camp helps us slow down and listen to God • Why asking for God’s will changes our mindset • Using cooking, fitness, and creative projects to support mental health • Grief and unfinished work after losing veteran friends • Frustration with VA healthcare and pill-first treatment • Trenot as a tool to support better daily health habits • A call for churches to practice wiser communication using Job and Matthew 18 • The idea that unity requires actual understanding, not assumptions PRAYER REQUESTSupport the show
