There’s a moment before combat that most people never see.
Not the gear. Not the bravado. The quiet kitchen table conversation with a mom who’s scared… and a son who has already learned something the hard way. In this clip, Chad White explains the mindset that took him back into danger after a catastrophic wreck—without pretending he was invincible.
He tells the story of sitting at his kitchen table, having a glass of wine with his mom, and saying something that changed how he operated from that day forward:
It wasn’t faith in himself.
It was faith in a timeline established by God.
That belief didn’t make him careless. It made him focused. Because surrendering the timeline didn’t mean surrendering effort. Chad talks about rebuilding while “the broken one”—training hard, eating right, and refusing to accept limitations that most people would have made permanent. He learned that results can be directly proportionate to the effort you put in… even when you’re hurting, even when you’re not at 100%.
This short clip is about faith, fear, discipline, and what it looks like when someone stops negotiating with their excuses.

Do you believe fear gets defeated more by faith, discipline, or both?
