The Daily Faith Practice That Rebuilt Everything

At 3:26:00 · chapter starts 3:22:00

The transition from warrior to civilian was the hardest period of Frohardt's life — harder, he says, than kidney stones in Hell Week or surviving IEDs. His identity was the Trident. Without it, he had 18 months without a paycheck, no degree, no team. The turning point came around 2012 through a faith-based men's business networking group in Denver that used the concept of 'abiding' — staying close to God through daily practice. Frohardt started reading the Bible, praying, and journaling. A month became a year. He has now read the Bible cover-to-cover every year since. He describes his morning with precision: 5 to 6 AM, prayer (structured around relationships from Leah to country to finances), then the Word, then journaling, then a walking prayer during his workout. His claim: the energy returned from one hour of investment is at least seven hours of output — and he attributes this practice to his absence of PTSD symptoms and his success in business.
