- Victor Marx is a high risk humanitarian, former U.S. Marine, author, filmmaker, and lays claim to the World's fastest gun disarm.
This is a three part series that covers his life story. In part one, Marx recounts a childhood marked by severe abuse. By the time he graduated from high school, his lifestyle was filled with drugs, fights and theft. Yet, the discipline of the military and his steadfast faith would reset the course of his life. This episode is extremely graphic. Viewer / Listener discretion is advised.

Vigilance Elite gummy bears are back!! Snag yours now before they're gone! shawnryanshow.com/products/gummy-bears-23
Not until they habe thc as its legal in my country
Got mine!
I ate 3 bags & felt nothing but a lil sugar high!? 😂 jk
I know they are not THC infused--but i did think at 1st they were😅
Loved when Shawn shared about an email he got saying "they on their 3rd bag & still not feeling anything" cracks me up!! 😂
@@CoryG1981then u not a true gummie bear loving human u just a stoner.
😅 Totally joking ... i think be cool if he did do a (THC 1) or even better a (Psilocybin blend) as he has talked about his journey with it. I still haven't tripped yet only micro dosed but i would buy (gummie shrooms) from Shawn as i trust him & would hope they really hit like his show & with the finest ingredients like his guests 😊😅
@@CoryG1981 LOL no THC in these. Just candy. You're good.
"Forgiveness is giving up your right to hurt someone back, for hurting you" - this will change my life. thank you Victor and Shawn.
Forgiveness sets you Free. The Amazing part is Jesus helps you also forget.
If it came from Parents look at how they were raised, they didn’t know better and didn’t try to be better,
If it was trauma someone else inflicted, set them free. God will handle them. Trust that.
God Bless and Good luck.
When he said that it really made me think and ponder my own trauma.
@@Mrs.CGravesForgiveness is telling someone it's okay to hurt you again.
@@slappy8941Not in the slightest. 😂 You should probably listen again. I’m curious how you think your theory plays out if you forgive someone who’s deceased? Are you telling their ghost they can come for you?
@slappy8941 you can forgive someone and yet still be cautious/aware of what that individual is capable of to not let yourself be burned again.
“I love weapons…but the best weapon I’ve ever used for my soul is forgiveness” wow. Thank you brother Victor
Damn right!❤
Pure gold right there.
Wow, profound.
When you "truly" forgive, you release yourself from prison! That was my experience ❤
As a fellow child who grew up in a very abusive environment, when he said “Kids who are born in the fire won’t be burned in the heat of life” gave me chills. That was so profound and I thank you for sharing your story.
I’m an hour in, but as another man who was abused by two separate men in Mendenhall, MS, this episode is hitting extremely close to home for me. I’m so sorry for what you went through and I’m so hopeful of creating a new “bloodline” wrought by faith in the blood of our Savior now that I’ve seen another man who’s walked through that.
From a lowly old commercial fisherman in coastal Maine, I Love you brother. Praying for you.
@@MAB3776s thank you sir!
Praying for you, man.
You can do all things through Christ whom gives you strength
Lean into God, when it gets tough lean in more. He got you 🫶
Grown man here. Listening. SOBBING at this man's story with his father at the end of his life. You, sir, are the epitome of forgiveness and strong faith. God bless you.
❤
Congrats
I didn't know my traumatic upbringing wasn't normal until high school. I never talked about it to anyone except my siblings because we thought how we were being raised was normal. Not until I met one of my best friends and we exchanged childhood stories. She cried and asked how I was happy and functioning like an average teen. That's when I realized my reality was vastly different than my peers. Once the veil was off my eyes it just opened so much pain. Sometimes I wished I didn't come to that realization. I was happy in the dark. When I became a wife then a mother that changed everything. I'm forever grateful to have that veil ripped from me. I can raise a beautiful, faithful, loving, functional family. 💜 to all those who have been there you're not alone
I’m so happy for you. 😊
The best thing you’ll hear from your kids when they are older is them saying to you or their friends is “I had a great childhood” ❤
“Kids who are born in the fire , will not be burned by the heat of life “ im at work and this completely broke me and I couldn’t hold my tears
Victor Marx , my family & I love you!!! I was fortunate enough to meet you at church, you spoke your testimony. My nephews also trained at your dojo under yourself & family. I have gotten to know two of your children that I love. When I messed my life up, & found myself incarcerated. Your kids sent me your book, which I read from cover to cover. I am forever grateful to you & yours. Thank you . God bless.
Amazing ❤️
Dude made me cry when he visited his evil step father and prayed for him. That was hella powerful.
Trying to save him from hell - his spirit is powerful, it made me cry too...
I teared up myself. That was the most powerful moment in anything I've ever listened to.
I could not have done that.. Victor is a good Man
@@yoursofullofitha7262Victor would tell you he couldn't do that in his own strength either. It was only because of the Lord Jesus Christ working in Victor's heart that he was able to forgive his tormentor.
You could with God's help.@@yoursofullofitha7262
I was mentally and physically abused as a child by my mother and the numerous people she brought around and I never thought I would consider forgiving her but the way he put on why he forgave his father has made my mind spin a hundred different ways. This episode has touched me so much thank you for this I have no words
Jesus loves you very much, and so do we.
May you find peace my friend.
@@texasted73Jesus is a psyop
Ditto
Look up the autobiography Within Heaven's Gates by Rebecca Springer 😇
That was the absolute most profound, heavy, and terrifying interview I've ever seen. They way you talk to people is so genuine and real. I got respect for you Shawn Ryan... keep up the awesome work
So true!!
Agree.
Is there ANY corroborating evidence for this? I'm getting real doubts as to whether this is true....I hope NOT but I am seeing a lot of red flags with his story/behavior
@@Mike-es2ygAre you asking for evidence that Mr. Marx's testimony is true?
@@PureGeauxld yes
I listen to lots of shows like this while I’m at work. This one right here is the closest I’ve ever been to bawling in my cubicle. The profound and all-consuming love of God is so evident in this man’s testimony. I am so thankful to have heard it. We defeat Satan by the Blood of the Lamb and the power of our testimony (Rev. 12:11)
This dude step father is Satan.my God what a maniac
This is one of my favorite scriptures! What a powerful testimony this is!
I met Victor at a men’s gathering at a church in ocean city New Jersey when I was 23. It took everything I had to hold back tears while surrounded by men doing the same thing listening to this man tell his story and how God changed his life. And the work he does to rescue children. I’m very grateful that I met him. Awesome interview!
Very nice I met him at ours in city of Montebello ca, Calvary chapel amazing man
1:32:56
"Forgiveness is giving up your right to hurt someone back for hurting you."
Wow, that's really powerful.
The way he looks around him before he continues the stories. Makes me think to myself about my own childhood. I wish I was as brave as this man
You Are!
You just wrote this. Keep telling your story! You are valid
You are. You just don't realise it yet.
I think the reason so many people struggle with forgiveness is because they don't understand the true definition of it. Victor, you defined it beautifully. It doesn't mean you're letting the person who hurt you off the hook. It simply means your letting them off YOUR hook and putting them on GODS hook. Forgiveness is not an emotion. It's a decision. So you don't have to all of a sudden trust that person or be besties with them. When i heard it explained to me this way it made all the difference.
Same as how most people don't understand how God is able to forgive sinners... that they go on Jesus' "hook" as in Jesus was set fourth by God to be the "propitiation" (took the wrath in our place) for our sins.
Forgiveness is for you. It is for your own sake. When you forgive, you let go of the pain. Then you can move on with your life.
You forgive for your own sake, not for the one who hurt you.
What minute is that? I dont want to miss it
He really forgave his father when he prayed for him and then told him he loved him. God had to get him to see his father's soul was going to spend eternity in hell. That makes you love people enough to share the gospel with them even when they don't really want to hear it.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; [2] by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. [3] For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; [4] and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Romans 3:22-26 KJV
even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: [23] for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; [24] being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: [25] whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; [26] to declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Romans 6:23 KJV
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Please admit to God that you've sinned against Him and then place your faith in the blood of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sin today.
God bless you!
@@michaelboyle1983- Thank you for your great comment. I reread it several times.
Only a few minutes in and I heard “adoption is the only childhood trauma your supposed to be happy and grateful for” and burst into tears. As an adoptee I didn’t even realize how badly I needed to hear that. Thanks for this podcast and amazing humans you bring on your platform. It makes a difference in people’s lives and this often unsettling, and confusing world we live it 🙏
❤️
May God bless you!
Can you explain what that means? The quote on adoption?
Your and you're are different words with different meanings. How do you not know this?
As an adoptee also, I was in the same state
I’ve been battling with God in accepting him as the truth. I always feel him calling to me through some of your videos. However, this testimony of forgiveness sent chills through me. I feel God has been calling to me through you Shawn and your guests. Thank you for bringing this to us. I really needed to hear this.
God bless you, Ben
You know what? I’ve experienced this, GOD will draw closer to you if you draw closer to him! That’s in the Bible! It is the truth if you are interested in that. It’s free and amazing! It’s also very disturbing and dangerous, what you will come up against. Do not expect the devil to ignore you when you are strong in faith. Good news is he can’t damage you enough to stop you and the bad news is you’ll be more of a target. Don’t worry, you’ll have the ultimate 👆backup!
@benstephens1972 Ben, Shawn was the same way. God used so many guests on Shawn's show that spoke truth to him and realized it wasn't a coincidence. This could be your Devine invitation. God bless you.
Praying that God will show you that Jesus is the way, the truth , and the life.
May God be with you brother! You’re not the only one 🙏🏻
His whole part about not letting you heart get hard so you can still give and receive love…… man that hits so hard
Yes. I've had a hard time with this because my son ,my husband and most my family are dead. I still get very angry at God. It's a battle I have not won , as of yet
@@kathyturner1431 I'm so sorry for your losses😢
Most people grow up thinking there is no way someone so evil could really exist...no one could really do this to a child. What an amazing man Victor turned out to be. He truly turned his pain into power to help so many people.
God bless him ❤
Bad abuse survivor here. But im deeply hurt and humbled by this mans extreme experiences. God bless you. You inspire me to continue to grow as a man and be an even better step father. My daughter rocks and deserves the best love,empathy,guidance & raising a dad can provide with a mix of mostly old school and many new school values.
Im probably 40 minutes in… and Ive been teary eyed already, I’ve smiled and I have been totally dumbstruck... Victor, I have mad respect for you and Eileen. One thing is for sure: God loves you very very much and I pray His protection over you every day, in all you do. For you and Eileen. Also - THANK YOU. For every child you guys have saved, held, hugged, protected. Shawn - thank you to you too. I know this one will touch you too. Absolute respect. The world is a far better place with you guys in it.
Makes the boook Angela's ashes, look like a cake walk. My story though a longer duration of abuse falls somewhere between your guest & that book. So many people have suffered & have horrible stories. I forgave but the abuse ruined compartments of my life. Some compartments I rose above it & lived a somewhat normal life as seen from the outside looking in.
Exactly! I feel the same. Every bit of it!!!
GOD BLESS YOU❤ HE has absolutely 💯 saved you for HIS purposes 🙏 ❤
This is so interesting to me. The most healing thing I ever did was apologize to my father for anything I had ever done to jeopardize our relationship. A man who did some horrible things to me. I didn’t owe him an apology, but it had a profound impact on me. Like a huge weight was just lifted off my shoulders. And he didn’t say sorry back, he didn’t take accountability. And it didn’t matter. I forgave him.
I am so proud of you. I hope one day I have the strength and understanding to do the same. Forgiveness is my weakness bc it makes me feel weaker than the transgression itself.. if that makes sense. God bless you.
Can’t even fathom how he kept it together. My story is nothing compared to Victor’s and I’m 73 and still struggling everyday. Thank God for him to be that strong>
Your show is awesome and one of the most important shows on CZcams!
So glad you have this brother on your show! His ministry of saving people from all over the world from terror is amazing
Excellent! Btw, I did not think it was too dramatic, or R-rated. I am an older woman, conservative. It was encouraging to see how God rescued him, and is rescuing others through him. The forgiveness section was very impactful, especially talking about his stepfather.
My God this interview is validating. I have said this often, I will not darken or harden my heart. If I do, I am no different than the abusers. Victor has done the work. This is my type of people who inspires me and continues to remind me I am more than what has happened to me. Yes, no matter what trauma one has endured, it can be overcome. Trauma is not an excuse to harm another. No one need to hurt another because they’ve been harmed, if anything, learn to not hurt another by forgiving, trusting, and loving another. Give to another what was not given to you is a healing gift to your soul and to another. It takes a hell of a lot of work but it is worth rediscovering and gaining one’s life. God bless. 💕
The fact this guy kept it together after what he’s been through says a lot about him
Says lot more about what God can do. I too learned what God can do with a broken heart and spirit.
Amen! It is the Lord Who brought him through
The emotional roller coaster this put me through is insane
Agreed! So incredibly compelling! Phenomenal one though!
His accounts of abuse are making me physically sick. I have a son who is this man’s age when he was abused. It’s mind-boggling that humans this evil can walk this earth. I wish I could save that little boy so bad.
💯
You're not alone this is the most powerful podcast in history!
I love Victor and Eileen! Went to church with them for many years. All Things Possible through Christ!
This is the most maddening, sad and powerful story I’ve ever heard. I’m 39 with a 5 year old daughter and this brings tears to my eyes hearing what this man had to endure at her age
You just touched my heart and made a 53yr old man cry like a baby, God bless you both!!!
Incredibly powerful moment when Victor defined redemption. If forgiveness is for you, redemption is for you as well. Victor is a great example of God taking the bitterness in a life and using it to bring life to thousands.
This is the most powerful interview I have ever watched!!! This man’s ability to forgive his abusive father is something I’m still coping with. He has opened my eyes to forgiveness…..thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
❤️
His stepfather
I’m watching this and just blown away. I live in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Glad you were able to forgive. I had to go to my stepdad’s grave to forgive him. When he died, I was 13 and was ecstatic that he died and it was over. You are the only one who has really explained about my mom’s position. Early 70’s and no help for any of us in sight. He was military.We lived on Fort Campbell and no one would believe any of it. I’ve since repented of that. Lol. It took a long time. I’ve long since become a Christian and still the triggers blindside me sometimes. The Father is good so good. Thank you for sharing. It’s been hard to listen to but very timely. Blessings to you and your family.
He's so right about the forgiveness part. I've been shocked at what the Holy Spirit has allowed me to do. Never thought in a million years I could be a care taker for the very person who allowed so much harm to come to me as a child. Best spiritual experience of my life and probably hers as well, because she was so sorry, but at the end she knew all was well. Very brave of him to tell his story.
🙏🏼❤️
Holly crap Shawn....! I don't cry at all but this interview had me in tears. Your shows are so important to humanity.
❤️
I looked at this thumbnail of the video and thought “oh there’s no way this guy beat the acts he has followed”. I’m not even 20 mins in and I’ve already learned an epic boatload from this. Your absolutely crushing it!!! You’ve helped me through the absolute hardest times in my life, between grieving for my mom and becoming sober I’ve needed all the help a man needs.. you have given me that, thank you Shawn.
I am so sorry for your loss. As a mum who is grieving two sons - congratulations on your sobriety - it is no small feat to wake up when everything is on fire. Do not despise the day of small beginnings. As a mum, proud of you, warrior. I know your mother is rejoicing your victories❤
Congrats on your sobriety ❤
“Forgiving: gaining real estate in your heart to both give and receive love” extraordinary conclusion!
I was in the Dr office for a va appointment and had to pause to keep from breaking down in front of the entire waiting room. It was one of the most powerful things I have ever heard, and I thought I had seen and heard a lot. This man is truly a blessing from God, especially in today's times. God truly has a way of taking your pain to use for his glory. He is living proof. Keep up the good work, Shawn it will be hard to top this one. May God bless both of you in all of you do. In this dark world, we need people like you shining God light in those dark places
Thank you for the courage to share your childhood. I think lots of people are oblivious to the horrors that go on in this world.
Great video Shawn, loved Victors perspective ... I just watched a documentary on the "Montauk Project" ... these programs operated under many different names across the country ... scary, I was a product of divorce, alcoholism and mental emotional illness ... middle class, I survived ... successful Wall Street career, became an alcoholic ... I went to AA, found like mined people, also went to Alanon were i gained the tools to cope with life ... 30 years sober, content, but still have my repressed demons ... my faith sustains me daily
Shawn i appreciate you using your platform to make awareness and bring light to a subject most people can’t comprehend or choose not to comprehend. People think things like this only happen in third world countries. We can’t just suppress and hide the evil that is everywhere. My wife has gone through intense childhood trauma and I have grown as a person through her. Everything this guest talks about is now so real to me. Being in love with someone who has suffered trauma like this isn’t easy but the depth in life that she has brought me is life changing. I hope this type of content can continue to reach every demographic of people. To let them know they’re not alone and that there is good in all of us if we choose. We can be loved and be the end of generational abuse.
Probably the greatest, most impactful video I’ve watched on CZcams. I’ve already sent this to several friends and told them it’s time spent better than on a movie. Thank you!
Absolutely incredible! My heart aches for his trauma but rejoices in his faith!
There is generational trauma in my family as well but my childhood trauma was nowhere as evil as what Victor experienced. I have to admit that the part that brought me to tears is when Victor spoke of telling his father about Jesus and how he didn't want his father to spend eternity in hell. Listening to that drew out so many tears. I consider myself a pretty tuff and stoic man but that really got me
Victor, no child should ever have to go through what you did. My heart goes out to you! Thank you for sharing your story and going on to help others who are suffering from this abuse.
Think about the fact that right now millions of child are going through the same things and even worst. Satanist dominates the world. His stepfather was one, practicing witchraft.
I am 15 minutes into this and this man has already dropped so much knowledge on me. This isn’t just another CZcams video.
Shawn- imagine if nobody ever got to tell their story, nobody would ever know what’s going on. Especially other victims.! I can’t think of another person that these men and women would open up and tell their story to. The love and compassion from all your subscribers, who are commenting across the world from all walks of life proves to me and gives me hope that strangers authentically have compassion, sympathy, empathy for what happens to someone we don’t even know. Everybody has a story to tell no matter how tragic and you bringing this to light is something that we need to hear as hard as it can be so they can learn to fight back in life and don’t play the “victim “ their whole life or repeat the offense but learn and grow from it and defeat the evil that’s always lurking! (i’m sorry I don’t know how to word what I wanna say) I guess just thank you for your channel and helping everybody out there because just look at your comments there’s a lot of love out there! And for all your guests, especially this month thank you for telling your story you’re talking to the right guy!
Jeremiah 29:11 is my life verse. He has a plan for each one of us. Ask him for his plan for your life. He loves us that much. No matter what you’ve done. He’ll walk beside you every step of the way. Thankful for this guy’s testimony. He’s proof that it’s possible to overcome. Thanks also for your service. I can’t think of a better one than protecting and saving children. Blessings on you and your family.
So 'His' plan is to put people through incredible amount of pain?
🙄
This is one of the strongest people you have had on your show. I hope this will give other victims the strength to overcome evil.
Thank you so much - both of you - for this show! I came from an extremely abusive father in every way, shape and form. It wasn't until after I had my son 16 years ago, that I was truly able to heal all that pain I had carried for 35 plus years. I never gave it a thought that not only was I the father I never had, but that concurrently, I was "changing the trajectory of my own bloodline". When you said those words Shawn, I had to stop the video cause tears started running down my face (and I rarely ever cry). God bless you both. So happy our mutual friend Kevin Peterson tied me on to you.
Wow, telling your dad I Love You was hard to watch because I had to live that in my life. At 40+ years old was the first time I called my dad on the phone and told him "I Love You"-that was a long story but it has helped so many since giving that testimony to free others with forgiveness is as powerful as it gets. I felt free and happy but then My dad came to where I lived and my whole family came to forgiveness and now I know what the Love of God and Family actually meant. And I touched forgiveness at its core, As tears strike my shirt I thank you for sharing your story and bringing this back to my memories.

? ... I dunno why but ... Huh? To be fair I have not watched the documentary read the book or kept tabs on the movie production
@@whodis12123it’s not just about this one interview. It’s about Shawn’s entire podcast. Are you new to the podcast world or for amazing creators that put all their time and money into this? You’re watching this for free and ppl don’t realize what goes into this. Shawn’s done an amazing job w his guests including this man, Max.
@@CassandraV-kl4hq It's an interview in front of a recording device. It can literally be done for free. Aren't the sponsors paying big bucks to have him plug their product every 15 seconds? I'll say this, this plug in the middle of the comment section is a first for me. Never seen this before. Certainly doesn't have a good feeling attached to it.
@@thebugalito the documentary that he made isn’t just done in front of one little recording device. I’m not sure you understand the time and production it takes to make a documentary. Traveling, paying for ppls flights and hotel to get them to either the podcast or Shawn going to places. That’s not cheap. Videographer, editing, compensation, ect. These podcasters have to pay their guest for accommodations. Guests just don’t come do podcasts for free and pay out of their pocket for someone to profit off of them. It’s a business and ran as such.
@@CassandraV-kl4hq I appreciate you explaining the nuances of podcasting to me. It was interesting and not completely inaccurate.
1.) It is not common for guests to be paid and treated like royalty. It’s usually a win-win situation for everyone. Quite a few but not LOTS of people charge for appearances. Also it is not unheard of for a podcast to charge someone to come on their show.
So far we’ve done no work and spent no money
2.) The hardest part is providing interesting crap consistently. Now without the internet that could be very demanding but…I mean…come on. There is literally no end of content to babble about
So far we’ve made little effort and spent no money
3.) Sponsors and audiences keep podcasters pockets fat
Ads, private funding, donations, merchandising. I wont get into all the ways they are paid like affiliate links, cost per mille, value -based prices etc. So many ways they get paid it’s pretty cool.
Spent nothin’ did nothin
4.) This one might shock you. Or not. You do not need millions of dollars worth of professional producing equipment to make a great show. In fact you can do all that you mentioned (editing, software, post prod., and so on for $38.00/month
The ending results: We sat in front of a microphone, trolled the internet sharing info/misinfo and spent less than $500/year, and made $50,000/week
I am profoundly shook. Things happen for a reason. I (we) were meant to hear this right now. Thank you Shawn for having Victor share his story of abuse and most importantly, forgiveness.
I've been told I'm rough around the edges and emotionally detached sometimes and only half way through this he has me torn up and tears rolling.
Shawn, I’ve watched many of your interviews and they have all been great, but, I really believe this is one that will follow you and your show for the rest of your life. What happened in this show is so much bigger than just you learning about your guest and sharing it with your viewers.
Agree 100%. I could feel the Lord's Presence in the room while he was speaking.
Shawn, I am glad at whoever told you about Victor Marx that you were able to interview him. Been a long time since I first found him. What he is doing and how God is using him is amazing, from what he has been through. God bless you and Victor, I am excited about this interview and have know doubt will bring others to receive or start considering Christ. God bless you both and Semper Fi!!
Amen
Semper Fi🔥
If any are on the fence, concerning God- Jesus....time is running out. If He is reaching out to you, reach out to Him....NOW is the time!
❤️
This man is the definition of survivor…. He is absolutely incredible
"Forgiveness doesn't mean reconciliation." That's going to sit with me for a lonnnngggg time.
The best interview that I’ve watched in the past months. Wow God is so faithful in Victor’s life!
First part of a 3 part series, and I am shattered. The pain this Gentleman has had to endure is beyond fathomable. It is beyond my comprehension how one comes through this unbearable pain victorious.
His testimony so far has left me feeling deeply saddened. Of course, I know there is so much abuse in this deeply disturbing world we live in. However, knowing about it and actually hearing it from a person first hand is another thing altogether.
I need to take a few moments to myself to digest this and salute this incredible Man.
I often wondered if my forgiveness was complete. I hurt even years after but I knew one thing, I wanted them to go to heaven and not hell. When you said you knew forgiveness when you wanted them to go to heaven, that really helped me. You are a blessing Victor and I thank you. Peace and grace.🙏
This episode made me cry so hard. I pray every day that my niece grows up as normal as she can given the trauma she has already experienced in her 10 years of life. When she was 5 (Aug. 2019) her father (my brother) was murdered. She saw the entire thing happen thru a glass screen door. Bullets barely missing her. If that wasn’t enough she lost her mother in Nov of 2021 in a road rage incident. She was in the back seat of the car. I hate that she has been thru all of this crap. But hopefully she will use it as a strengthening tool and not the opposite. ❤️😊
Jeeeez...sorry to hear that. Hope she is in a good home now.
@@Mike-es2yg Thank you!! 😊❤️ She is with her Mamas big sister. She and I are close and just doing the do trying to make that girls life as normal as possible ya know.
@@Mike-es2yg I am flying out to Charleston on Feb. 8th to be there for her 10th birthday!!! Sooo excited! Don’t know why I felt the need to share that with ya’ll but yea! Happy New Year!
Time and time again this show amazes me. I actually started watching before you even doing podcast because I wanted to be a special operator. But nowadays, I watch it because it’s my therapy. I’m truly learning so much each episode, and gives me hope encouragement for the future in a world full of chaos!! Thank you Shawn!!!
This interview with Victor Marx is one of the most powerful & profound interviews I have ever seen. Can’t recommend it enough, especially for a person who has endured abuse. God bless this great man for sharing his story with us.
What an incredibly beautiful soul has this man. Bless your heart, and thank you so much for sharing your story. ❤
This is the most intense horrifying unbelievable thing I've ever seen and heard. I'm 40yrs old and up until this interview I've been in denial of what the world's children are going through with the abuse. I'm so sad and angry I don't know how to handle this information. I sit hear crying feeling sorry and to think this is happening right now to some child breaks my heart and my soul!
God bless you for being willing to allow this awful truth to enter your heart.
We are not capable of 'handling' this information. None of us. And yet, with God's help, we MUST. There is no future for humanity if we do not begin the work of dismantling the systems that allow this horror to thrive.
I'm so grateful for your willingness to enter the furnace - just hold tight to God, and you will emerge transformed in ways you can't anticipate. May you be Divinely protected and comforted as you face the darkness.
❤🩹⚔🙏
Speak the truth so everyone faces it.
@@ThicketworksCouldn't have said it better myself. You've obviously seen it too. It's hard to get people to understand how foreign it is to the mind. One couldn't conjure stuff up in their mind as the worst they could possibly come up with won't come close to an average day in the life of these monsters. Accidental exposure has sent many to the insane asylum.
Oh my gosh i am sobbing. The forgiveness, his dad telling the nurse that it's his son and he's proud of him, him coming to Christ. I'm in awe of God's mercy and grace! 😭😭
This is one of the hardest and best interviews I’ve ever heard. I wept multiple times while listening. More proof that no one is beyond the forgiveness and healing of God. God bless you both for the truth you’re putting out and the hope that you’re giving people. ❤
The end of the interview brought me to tears as im still struggling with forgiveness. What an incredibly strong man Victor is
Thank you Shawn and Team and all the great comments 🔥👊🏽😎
Thanks so much for sharing your amazing testimony. Cheers
Jesus is God.
Have you heard of Cathy O’Brien? She has a related story.
I am speechless. There are moments in your life where you hear someone say something so powerful it changes you forever. This first interview and the last five minutes will stay with me forever. I love you Victor Marx ❤️
Wow, what an amazing story. Thank you, Victor, and thank you, Shawn, for having him on.
OMG!! I wasn’t ready for the sheer graphic nature of this man’s pain…I feel so terrible he had to go through all that and as a child as well…breaks my
Heart!!
This is one of the best episodes I think Sean has ever done!! This man’s story is so crazy and how in depth he went with his past is going to help a lot of people get through their trauma. One hell of an episode! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Shawn and Victor Thank you very much for sharing your story. I come from an abusive childhood, to being gang rapped while serving in the Navy. and then on to an abusive husband for 15 yrs. Fear for me was the worst emotion.. After getting away from all the abuse I swore that I would never fear another human being in my life. I have such a hard time even leaving my house. Hearing this interview gives me hope that I may be able to overcome and heal one day
I’m so so sorry.
I pray for your healing. ❤️
@@jolenemcmanus4964 Thank you very much for your prayers, After hearing Victor talk about forgiveness and faith really helped to hear
Shawn, I don’t think you will ever realize how many people you reach on such a personal level with your platform. I honestly think that this is the most powerful episode you’ve ever done. You and Victor Marx are both an example of shining lights on a hill. This episode left me feeling emotions I cannot even begin to describe, and that I don’t think there are words for. I hope and pray that you and Victor both keep doing exactly what you’re doing. You’re touching the lives of people you’ll probably never even meet. Victor Marx is someone that I absolutely revere. I pray every day that more people like the two of you continue to get platforms and continue to refuse to back down . Where we are as a country, and as a world, has me terrified, but people like the two of you have a capability of reaching far more people than the average man or woman does. Don’t stop. Please. You’re exactly where you need to be…
I watched the entire interview. All 5 hours. I highly recommend watching all of it. It was informative, sad, inspirational, and entertaining. I have great respect for Victor and Sean for coming forward with these hard topics. God bless you both.
I constantly find myself think o I will listen for an hr or so and just get sucked in and end up listening to the whole interview. Shawn does a great job and people respect him enough to come on and share very powerful stories
This is by far the darkest story I’ve ever heard a person tell. Victor you are the epitome of what it is to be a man. Selfless and unbelievably perseverant cannot even begin to describe you. I have no words. I don’t know you but I just wanna say I love you brother and I wish nothing but prosperity for you and your family.
❤️
I feel the same…what a treasure..mad love for you Victor❤
This might be the most important episode of this show. The message in the last few minutes of this episode is absolutely incredible and really brings a huge deal of perspective. Victor Marx is the embodiment of the freedom that comes from Jesus Christ. He is a walking testimony, the opposite of the warning given in Matthew 18:21-35. The Holy Spirit working in that man is so apparent. Thank you for having him on the show.
I am here for every testimony on this show. Gives me so much hope. Thank you for being bright lights in the world!
What a beautiful story of forgiveness! We don’t have to live in bondage of anger and fear! Thank you Shawn for having Victor on!! ❤🥹🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️🥰
What this guy described is what most of us in broken families go through unfortunately, domestic violence, trauma, and sexual abuse... and the lower your economic status is, the more likey you are to experience all three... Toss in a few more mitigating factors and the legacy is passed on to the next generation. It's time for those of us who understand this cycle of abuse to break the bonds that bind us, not only for ourselves but for our children too...
Yes socioeconomics play into his account, BUT the rich and elite do the same thing on a much higher scale. They can child traffic, love PIZZA, lure and groom minors via internet. The Lolita express snagged the movers, shakers, congressmen, actors, eugenicist, athletes, royalty, military. Our world saturated in all of it. Abuse. Violence. Fear. Sex. Some can hide it better. Just hide it better.
This guy is such an inspiration. I’m so glad to see him getting his message and mission out there!!
I had a similar childhood experience and I understand how he feels, forgiveness is the key to everything.I forgave my self and others, life will teach them a lesson because we never know how we end up. Good bless you for sharing your story.❤
“Wow”. As Victor stated to Shawn early on, “ You’re a great steward of people's lives and stories and you reach so many people,
I see God's hand on you Shawn”.
I agree. This was an amazing interview….. I have been a subscriber of your show for sometime, Shawn because of that. It happens I’ve been a subscriber of Victor’s for a lot of years. I know a lot of his background and story but this was so well done - one of a kind show, God only made one of each of us. I pray that each of you Gentlemen and all of yours, fulfill all the books written about you. Psalm 139
Thank you Shawn Ryan.
Thank you Victor Marx for never giving up or quitting- thank you, Eileen as well.
Watching this interview really hit home with me. I myself had a very troubled childhood. I have to admit this was one of your best guest so far. Looking forward to other parts. Thank you 😊🙏
This sickens me beyond my core. It's also partly some of the reason I got out of law enforcement. It hurts me to say this. But, this isn't the first time I have encountered these horrible stories. When I was a young man in law enforcement. I was asked if I have ever considered becoming a sex crimes detective. But, after the curtain was lifted. I told them I'd rather be the executioner to those who perpetrated those crimes. And that I would volunteer and supply the ammo for free. 24/7. And then my attention turned to the detective who had a picture of his wife and children next to his computer. I asked how the hell he could do this type of work. He said if I don't do this for those children. Then they'll never get justice and never have a voice. Mind you this happened during the most extreme times of the meth epidemic and right after 911. In my mind I was fighting a war in my own backyard. Every once in a while I would get a vet and let them know I honored and respected their service. They would say did you serve and I would say No but I was in law enforcement. Oftentimes there was a disconnect and awkwardness followed. I always felt like a lesser public servant because of those reactions. Maybe it was my own guilt. Among other factors. But, oftentimes other guys in law enforcement who were also in the military. They understood. The first time I met a legit Combat proven Navy Seal who got into state law enforcement. He was nothing that I was told those guys are. He wasn't braggadocious or overly confident. But a person of level headed reasoning. And I remember thinking only God knows what he has been through. A the while I'm cutting hung men down from their cells and giving them CPR. ECT . ..... God Bless all those who serve for the good of the public. Only to suffer in silence with the evil that we all had to witness and endure. Never give up on the Good fight. Even if we fall short at times.
Thank you for these words. My son was sadistically sexually abused by his father Benjamin Nunez jr and his “friend” Caitlyn McGowen, the police didn’t take me seriously even with his injuries and he was only 5 when he told me. I finally now have full custody but bc they didn’t do an investigation they walk free which really made me hate law enforcement. Thank you for being one of the good guys
OMG this interview spoke to me and I had such trauma similar to Victor and I kept it all in a vault until one day I thought I was experiencing a stroke but I was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder. I had been functioning at the fight or flight level for over 40yrs that my mind broke, lost my ability to speak and walk but thankfully I had a team of psychologists help me deconstruct the trauma and I have my speech and mobility back and my children were my biggest motivators to break the cycle. Thank you for this man, your channel and providing a space to open wounds but the victory is what amazing people they have all become. Much love from Australia 💙🙏🇦🇺
Shawn, your work here, has elevated my relationship with God through all your guests.
Thank you.
i am sobbing, i just want to give victor a hug, but still, i can’t wait for the rest of the interview of this remarkable man! thank you so much for bringing him on to share his story. it’s both unbelievably harrowing and absolutely inspiring!❤❤❤
Shawn! Thank you so much for frequently pressing pause on these stories to ask insightful questions.
THE most IMPORTANT recollection EVER TOLD... . .TY Sir, TY Shawn... . .
Spectacular discussion. Thank you for sharing this story. Countless people need to hear it.
I watched this interview twice back to back! I could feel every story. I lived every single day in fear as a child. And as an adult every day is filled with hate.
That has got to be the most powerful testimony ive ever heard. Thank you
Been a fan of your show for a year now and this conversation here is one of the most poignant and inspiring I’ve been graced to watch. Keep em coming Shawn. 🙏🏽
Truth, absolute truth comes from his heart and soul through his words to us. Deepest Thanks for these three shows with this man.
