What if the war you’re fighting didn’t start with you?

This year marks 35 years since Desert Storm, and for decades I believed my anxiety, hypervigilance, and emotional reactions were just my issue—my failure, my weakness, my lack of faith.

What I didn’t understand was this: the trauma I carried didn’t land in a blank slate.

In this follow-up to Jesus Is in Your Heart, But the War Is Still in Your Bones, we go deeper into a truth that lifts shame and opens the door to real healing: your trauma may be personal, but it’s often also generational.

Drawing from Scripture, lived experience as a combat veteran, and insights from Pete Scazzero, this video explores how trauma, anxiety, and survival patterns can be passed down through families—and how healing can be passed down too.

In this video, you’ll learn:

🔥 Why trauma often predates your own story 🧠 How family systems shape your nervous system 🔄 What “going back to go forward” really means 🧬 How tools like a genogram reveal hidden patterns 🎖️ Why PTSD isn’t a moral failure—but a heavy inheritance ✝️ Practical ways to become a cycle-breaker in Christ

🎯 This message is for:

🎖️ Veterans carrying more than their own battles ⛪ Pastors and leaders stuck in patterns they can’t explain 🧔 Men of faith wrestling with anxiety, anger, or numbness 🌱 Anyone ready to stop passing down pain and start passing down healing

You’re not weak. You’re not broken. And you’re not alone.
