Fight for Us by Chad Robichaux & Adam Davis
Fight for Us takes couples on an inspiring journey into the challenges of battling for their marriage, through gut-wrenching times of despair, and then finally to the victory of a renewed relationship grounded in Jesus.
Fight for Us delivers a compelling marriage challenge of "five rounds" that teach readers how to develop the never-give-up, never-quit mentality every relationship needs in order to combat the enemy's constant attacks.
Utilizing narrative elements from the real-life story of Chad and Kathy Robichaux, readers will learn how Chad's deployments to Afghanistan as a Marine--and subsequent career as an MMA fighter--allowed him to disengage from his emotions, his marriage, and his children. Then, when his crippling PTSD brought him to brink of suicide, Kathy's pastor taught him the "five rounds" of fighting that are necessary in the battle for any marriage:
- Believe that God loves you and has a purpose for your life.
- Take responsibility for your actions.
- Accept that you can't change the evils that you've encountered.
- Access God's power.
- Put yourself second.
At the end of the rounds, readers will discover God's design for marriage, which saved Chad and Kathy's relationship. Today, they aim to pay it forward and share what they've learned with other couples. Fight for Us features application sections, discussion prompts, affirmations, and Bible verses, all designed to help readers apply the book's key marriage principles.
Author Bio:
Chad is a former Force Recon Marine and Department of Defense contractor with eight deployments to Afghanistan as part of a Special Operations Task Force. After overcoming his own personal battles with PTSD, Chad founded the Mighty Oaks Foundation, a leading nonprofit that has served veterans through their faith-based, combat resiliency programs. Chad also cofounded Save Our Allies, a nonprofit established out of his personal desire to save long-time friend and former interpreter Aziz from Afghanistan. To date, Save Our Allies has safely evacuated over 17,000 people from Afghanistan and is currently operating in Ukraine as the Russian invasion continues. For his heroic actions during the Afghanistan evacuations, Glenn Beck and Mercury One presented Chad with the Bonhoeffer Angel Award for displaying true leadership, moral courage, and selfless sacrifice to help those in need.
In addition to his life-saving endeavors, Chad also served as a Special Agent with the U.S. Federal Air Marshal Service, as a Surveillance Detection Senior Program Manager with the U.S. State Department, and as a law enforcement officer, where he received a Medal of Valor for his bravery above and beyond the call of duty. Chad is a subject matter expert on veteran's care, having advised presidential administrations, Congress, the VA, the DoD and was appointed to serve as the Chairman of a White House Veterans Coalition under former President Trump. He is regularly featured on national media, and has been a contributor to Fox News, Newsmax, The Blaze and other outlets. Chad and his wife, Kathy, have been married for 27 years, and they have a daughter, two sons and two granddaughters. His two sons, Hayden and Hunter, are both 3rd generation U.S. Marines from the Robichaux family and share their father's lifelong passion as a martial artist. Chad is a fourth-degree Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt under Carlson Gracie Jr. and is a former professional mixed martial arts champion.
