Slade Cutrer, a Retired Navy SEAL, on the Hidden Cost of Violence and Warfare

Father Turbo sits down with former Navy SEAL Slade (baptized John) Cutrer and his wife (baptized Mary) for an unflinching conversation about violence, suffering, and healing. This isn’t a glorification of war, nor is it a recruitment story. It’s an unflinching reflection on what sustained exposure to violence does to a man’s body, soul, and spirit. From catastrophic physical injuries and chronic pain to emotional withdrawal and spiritual blindness, this conversation reveals costs that rarely make it into public view. Together, they speak openly about elite military culture, the refusal to recognize mental or spiritual injury, and the mindset that “mental health isn’t real” until reality makes that denial impossible. Philotimo, sacrificial brotherhood, and the fine line between professional violence and something much darker are all discussed. Spiritual warfare exists. There is a need for healing beyond endurance, and the inadequacy of materialism contributes to these challenges. Repentance, truth, and Christ are necessary for integrated healing. From catastrophic physical injuries to complete emotional disconnection from family, this conversation reveals elite military service’s hidden costs that most civilians never see. It's what the violence of the job demands and how Christ repairs what the world destroys. Topics explored: • Elite warfare's unseen costs. • Chronic pain, medication & emotional withdrawal. • Brotherhood, honor & violence's burden. • A spouse’s perspective on watching someone they love disappear. • Finding healing through Orthodox Christianity Please click here to watch the full episode: https://www.skool.com/synaxisofsophia Please click here to contact the Convent: https://ourladyofthelost.org To purchase my icons and support the nuns, please click here: https://www.desertwisdombookstore.com To listen to my homilies, please click here:    / @stmaryofegyptorthodoxchurch   Timestamps: 0:00 – Patience.
