  • Breaking Generational Trauma Through Faith — Ray Kunze

    Breaking Generational Trauma Through Faith — Ray Kunze
    Oct 4 2026
    You don't have to become what your past taught you to be. Ray broke the cycle when he finally surrendered it to God.EPISODE PREMISERay Kunze's marriage was so close to divorce that he and his wife were waiting for payday to afford the lawyer. Then a realtor invited this 21-year Navy veteran to a church football game—and that seemingly insignificant phone call became the beginning of a transformation neither Ray nor his family saw coming.Ray shares how childhood violence, alcoholism, military culture, marriage struggles, salvation, discipleship, and forgiveness collided in a testimony that ultimately changed not only his life, but the generations coming after him.In this episode, you'll discover:• Recognize how generational patterns can follow you into military service, marriage, and parenting—even when you've promised yourself you'll live differently.• Understand why simply being physically present isn't enough as Ray describes drinking a 12-pack on weeknights while insisting he was still fulfilling his responsibilities because the bills were paid and he was home.• Hear how one invitation changed an entire family when a realtor called Ray about a Navy-versus-Marine Corps football game, eventually leading him into a church he never intended to keep attending.• Discover what happened when Ray finally stopped blaming everyone else and recognized his own responsibility in a marriage that was days away from divorce—and how he and his wife ultimately came to Christ together.• See why discipleship mattered after salvation as an older Christian couple walked alongside Ray and his wife while they rebuilt their marriage, faith, and family.About Ray KunzeRay Kunze served 21 years in the United States Navy before retiring and transitioning into civilian life as a biomedical engineer for a major medical device manufacturer.His credibility in this conversation comes from more than his military career. Ray speaks from lived experience about childhood trauma, alcoholism, destructive behavior, military transition, marriage restoration, discipleship, and the process of breaking generational patterns through his faith in Jesus Christ.⏱️ EPISODE CHAPTERS00:00 — Introduction: From the Depths to Deliverance03:10 — Childhood Violence and Learning to Fight07:01 — Returning to the Past to Find Forgiveness08:33 — Growing Up Without God11:34 — Joining the Navy and Fighting Against Structure15:42 — Marriage Loss, Anger and a Darker Road17:50 — Where Was God When Ray Couldn't See Him?18:33 — Military Culture, Drinking and Hiding the Pain24:07 — Meeting the Woman Who Would Become His Wife30:23 — “The Bills Are Paid.

    Jesus Changed Everything: A Marine Veteran's Story of Hope & Healing
    Sep 6 2026

    When your military career ends, your purpose doesn't have to. Gabriel found a mission worth living for.

    After 12 years in the United States Marine Corps, Gabriel Axtell believed his identity died with the uniform. A career-ending injury, loss of purpose, depression, and suicidal thoughts nearly ended his life—but God used an unexpected series of moments to reveal a new mission that was greater than the one he left behind.

    In this deeply personal conversation, Gabriel shares how a praying wife, a worship song, a men's retreat, and one life-changing encounter with Jesus transformed him from a broken veteran into a mentor helping other warriors find hope, healing, and purpose through Christ.

    • Recognize why losing your military identity doesn't mean losing your God-given purpose.

    • Understand how one act of obedience at a men's retreat completely changed Gabriel's life.

    • Hear the powerful story of the night God intervened moments before Gabriel planned to take his own life.

    • Learn how vulnerability, mentorship, and faith became the foundation for helping other veterans overcome crisis and rediscover hope.

    Gabriel Axtell served 12 years in the United States Marine Corps, retiring as a Staff Sergeant after a career-ending injury. Today, he serves with The Warrior's Journey, mentoring veterans experiencing crisis while helping them discover hope, healing, and lasting purpose through a relationship with Jesus Christ. His testimony has encouraged thousands of veterans navigating the difficult transition from military service to civilian life.
