“As a military veteran and police officer veteran with PTSD, the Freedom Fighters Program teaches you how God made you to mentally, physically, and spiritually to respond normally to uncommon situations.

Blessed to have the information and support from Freedom Fighters leadership and not only making a difference in my life, but also help my wife to understand a husband with PTSD.”

“Recently working with those in freedom fighters has been a blessing. The help and support to come back to sobriety from them was honest and true. Even now as i still struggle this group continues to reach out and provide help and guidance. This is a salt of the earth kind of group and I am happy to continually have them by my side.”

“I was living a hopeless life in bondage to anger, unforgiveness, alcoholism, and depression. Jesus came to me in my brokenness, as I faced life changing legal trouble, and he rescued me. I have a new life in Christ, and I continue daily, to become who he intended me to be.”

Eric YoungUSMC

“I am paramedic in a high speed 911 system. Before I started at Freedom Fighters I was suffering from PTSD related issues that were impacting me and my family. Freedom Fighters provided a safe environment to get real problems off my chest and talk with people that understand my pain. I am now the healthiest I have ever been physically, mentally, and spiritually due to my Freedom Fighter group.”

“I was in a dark place with no end in sight. They gave me hope and a new purpose in life. Now every day is a gift.”

PeteArmy & Fire Fighter

“Starting Freedom Fighters I was a Christian that read the Bible and went to church. I am active in my church; however, Freedom Fighters has taught me how to harness what I have learned and to apply it in everyday life. It’s given me other veterans to reach out to when I need them. Very positive experience with the Freedom Fighters.”

Richard OliverVeteran & First Responder

“I was burnt in a car fire at a young age and I am a volunteer firefighter and a year ago I gave my life back to the Lord and just meeting this group of guys is such an honor and a privilege they have given me such strength I have scars on the outside but some of us have scars on the inside that no one sees and what I have learned from these guys is stand strong never give up and I am so proud to be a part of this Brotherhood because no matter what life throws at us we have each other's back and the Bible says when one or two are gathered in my name there I am also and I know it is hard and we feel like giving up but I encourage you to stick it out and stand strong because even though we can't see the whole picture of that God has in store for us doesn't mean we should give up we will have hard times but what the enemy tries to use 4 evil God will use for good so I encourage you to pick up your cross and stand up for Christ my brothers and sisters”
