Three Bullets — Overcoming the Unimaginable, Part 1
What happens when the person meant to protect you becomes the source of your deepest trauma? In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Debra and Ron are a blended family navigating decades of pain, healing, divorce, loss, and unshakable faith.
Debra shares her unimaginable story of surviving a shooting at just 7 years old — at the hands of her own mother, who was suffering from undiagnosed mental illness. Ron opens up about life after the Marine Corps, a painful divorce, and finding restoration through God's grace. Together, they share what it truly looks like to build a God-centered marriage after deep wounds.
This episode also celebrates their beautiful blended family — including their deaf daughter Leah, her husband Blake, and the joy of Sunday dinners, football games, and watermelon.

- Life as a Marine, pastor, and divorced father
