Episode 207: Past Mistakes Do NOT Define Your Future ft. Command Sgt. Major Marc Dibernardo

Video
Men’s Alliance

Marc Dibernardo recounts his transformation from a troubled youth in a dysfunctional family to becoming a Command Sergeant Major in the U.S. Army and a committed Christian. His journey into the military was spurred by the events of 9/11, seeking purpose and belonging, where he later encountered a spiritual awakening after watching "Fireproof," leading him to embrace Christianity. This faith not only mended his struggling marriage but also guided him to lead by example in the military by integrating his warrior spirit with his newfound faith. Marc emphasizes the importance of Christian fellowship for personal growth and encourages others, through his story, that with divine guidance, one can overcome past struggles and lead a life of redemption and purpose.

God gives us the tools we need, but we need to be aware of situations and use those tools for his glory.  We need to be proactive not reactive and realize the spirit moves in any situation we find ourselves in.  This is what MA is about Sharpening men to become the husbands, fathers, and leaders God designed us to be and respond accordingly to situations we experience.   --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
