This was by far the most horrific thing I have ever heard on a podcast. I can’t imagine the terror he felt as a child and well into his life. I’m so thankful that Christ broke his chains and set him free.

I have told so many people about this pod cast interview. It has changed something in me. My 12 year-old daughter was kidnapped, raped and murdered in 1999. I have never considered true forgiveness to the man who brutally murdered her only my definition of it. This has made me reconsider EVERYTHING. I have cried a lot of tears watching and listening to this.

I’ve been a Christian all of my life and I have fallen from my faith recently. This man and this podcast has moved me towards speaking to God again. I hope others will see the miracles and love our father has.

I love Victors story about where was God? When I was 5 I was at a family reunion surrounded by 50+ cousins at a park playground. Back in the 80s things were very different and you didn’t keep an eye on your kids like we do now. I had a very scary older man, a homeless man come up to me and specifically ask me for help. Just like you said, they can just tell when a child has been abused and pray on those children. He took me by the hand and led me away from the playground into the wooded area. He then sexually assaulted me, I wasn’t scared as I was used to this but then I heard a voice. I had a cousin who came to look for me. This is when I got scared, he started to freak out and told me to leave, I couldn’t understand what I had done to make him so mad at me. So I went back to a trail where my 18 year old cousin found me. No one questioned where I was or even knew I had been missing. My cousin never told anyone because she thought I was just wandering. For 30 years I wondered where was God? How could God just let this awful thing happen to me when I was already facing so much abuse from my own dad. Did he not love me? Where was my protection? My cousin messaged me one day out of the blue 30 years later and told me “I remember, it was me, I found you!” I asked her that day, “why did you come looking for me when no one else knew I was even gone?” She told me that a voice told her that day to “go find Anna Now!” She listened. For 30 years I thought God had abandoned me when in fact he had saved my life…. I had been gone for at last 45min. God is always with us, especially his children. I cried through much of Victors testimony. What a powerful podcast, what a powerful man. I thank my Lord Jesus Christ for seeing me, little old me. I am his. He loves us so much.

"Steel will never become a sword until it has been burned and beaten." And after the war the sword becomes a treasure. Thank god for you, Victor. Your words are a treasure for me.

Hands down this was the most powerful guest you've ever had on the show. Such an incredible message.

Thank you Shawn and Victor. It really touched me about the elderly lady that prayed for you for 30 yrs. It made me cry. Jesus first saved my life as an infant; my birth father was beating my mother to death and my grandma woke up and started praying for us. My dad stopped and left the room giving my mom time to grab me and run into the night and get help. She did leave him then, but married many other times to horrible men that physically and sexually abused me and my half brother. My whole adult life I was unable to love and accept love, but about 10 yrs ago I came back to Jesus and am healed, praise God! Just recently, my brother has also came to Christ. God is good, never give up!

My wife and I both wept, this was by far the most disturbing testimony, we truly live in a fallen world with totally depraved people but the LORD is able to save to the uttermost. This show reminded us that this place in not our home but we are here to glorify God and to enjoy him forever. Even in the worst situations the LORD is able to bring healing and good out of great evil.

I stumbled upon this episode last night. One of the most stressful nights of my life. My baby girl was born healthy this morning and my wife woke up from her surgery 3 hours later. I haven't been to church in over 20 years. I WILL be going this Sunday.

Sean, I find your show changing my heart and ultimately my life. Thank you for the wonderful gift you bring to the world with your show.

This man is an inspiration. I can’t recall the last time I felt this high a level of respect towards another human being. Lord please continue to bless him and his family! Keep them forever safe in your arms 🙏🏻

Tears came to my eyes when Victor answered the question, "Where was God when you went through all of that as a child?". I felt my soul crack open imagining how many people asked this same question. Answer: He was right there with you, suffering 😢 these episodes are some of the most healing and inspiring talks I've heard. Thank you Shawn. And Victor - what can I say... God bless you. Your talks on forgiveness are so impactful and necessary for the world to hear.

Shawn, Since you have come to Christ the change can cleary be seen. Your language your channel proclaiming the Gospel to millions with the most incredible testimonials ive ever heard some the badest dudes on the planet. Its a real blessing to see God working in your life. Keep up the good work! Praying for you.

59:52 I'm a pastor and I have seen, witnessed, and been a part of some horrific stuff. The question Victor asked himself of _"where were you, Jesus"_ knocked me to my knees!! I sobbed uncontrollably for the next 10 minutes. I've had out of body experiences where I was at the gates of hell and my Lord and Savior was there with me!! When I put a gun in my mouth and wanted to eat a bullet for breakfast Jesus was with me. And when I had done harm to others I was really doing harm to my savior. Of all the times we've questioned _God where were you,_ He was right there with us, enduring alongside us. The glory is His, not ours. Hallelujah!! Thank you my God, my Savior, and my Father forever!!!!!

Shawn, thank you for the hard work you and your staff put into all of this. FINALLY somewhere reliable where Americans can hear the real and full truth. On behalf of The Biggs family, we absolutely love you all! God bless you, God bless yours, and God bless America! 🙏 🇺🇸

I'm overcome with emotion after hearing that the elderly lady prayed for him for 30 years. He certainly experienced the valley of the shadow of death. God never leaves us.

As a marine , with a heavy heart , this dude was probably the only way to break through to me again , its almost as if time calcifies your spirit to accepting the lord

My Dad is a monster and so was his Father. I have tried to forgive my Dad. I am still trying to deal with my trauma and forgive my Dad it's so very hard. Thank you Victor for your message.

When he spoke of the lady who'd been praying for them for 30 years I just lost it and had to pause. There's so in much in that.

This series with Victor is the most powerful set of interviews I’ve seen on this show. I’m still processing what I’m hearing.

This man has the calmest, most controlled-power voice I have ever heard.

The most incredible and frightening testimonial I have ever heard! His understanding of trusting how God speaks to us to do things we would never consider is simply amazing and inspiring. Thank you, Shawn, for bringing him on your program!

Dam it, this man is deep, honest, inspiring, wholesome, humble, I can go on and on. Lord we see why you let this man live , we see why. Thank you I'm right there with you Shawn, speechless, I would not know what to ask him either.

I didn't go through the same trauma, but brother, believe me I know exactly what you're talking about. Bless you. You and Shawn are an inspiration to this 48 year old vet with trouble finding peace. Love you guys.

Well, this part two is more intense than the first. This testimony, told with the truths of God, is about the most powerful I’ve heard. The love of God embodied here is so palpable. Just fantastic. Thank you for what you do, Shawn.

There has been nothing more powerful than this podcast and Victor's testimony. I don't have any words to describe how powerful it is. May God bless you.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting this gentleman on your podcast. I just rec. started watching, for the vet stories, and then bam, Victor comes on. His story is so close to my own from childhood, and the struggles. Recovering from a childhood trauma of this caliber is the hardest thing I personally have ever had to do, and keep doing it every day,. This podcast has just added to my tools to help get by every day. And was a much-needed reminder. Thank you so much!!!

OhMy.. every guest u have is EXTRA-ordinary! Especially This one blew my mind😱 Victor is a powerful voice in this world.. on FIRE FOR CHRIST 🙏🕊️🙏🕊️ BLESS HIM.. & BLESS YOU RYAN & YOUR FAMILY❤

❤❤❤ How can one man's life experience be so horrible & so victorious in virtually the same moment...the explanation of where God was during all the abuse & Jesus laying his body over this child & taking the beating with him. Wow, I was bawling because we've all asked or thought that & what a sad but beautiful explanation. Such an impactful & touching interview. Thank you Shawn!

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.

If this isn't a story exemplifying the Poet of God, I do not know what would be. I like the direction you are headed, Shawn. I pray for you and your team that your pathway is without obstacle and your guests keep sharing their walks with our Lord. Bless you, Shawn

This man is a HERO for sharing his story so bravely. Legend

This healed me more than anything in my 55 years. Fist yime ive heard someone put a voice to what is stuck in my brain...descritions of the demon i fight every day yo stay here. Thank you for sharing your truth.

I don't comment and have been a listener for a long time. I am absolutely moved by this man. The Bubbs natural plug was a bit out of place😂. What a riveting, horrific, and inspiring testimony. Thank you for sharing Mr. Marx

These interviews with Victor Marx is absolutely some of the best I have watched/listened to. Thank you Shawn for bringing such great content.

I cannot say AMEN enough, or fast enough... truly, truly divine, God blessed and anointed interview....I am in awe! And I will share every moment God presents on His path for me. I am SO truly blessed to have found the Shawn Ryan Show....and blessings and protection to all who hear, see, and are involved in this presentation.

This has been my favorite guest to date! Thank you Shawn for having this man on. His testimony moved my soul in ways I never could have expected. I shared this with my father who grew up in an abusive house hold. My dad never really listens to the thing I shared but he listened to this one. The conversation we had after was something I’ve needed from him my whole life. Thank you Shawn and thank you Victor

Not a dry eye this entire interview. Jesus is the TRUTH!

I want this gentleman to know this: When you said what you did about having false hope rather than asking the hard questions, I felt that in my soul. I've been doing it my whole life. This was literally like a breakthrough therapy session for me. Trauma does the worst things to children and you have no idea where to put the blame or feelings attached to it. I know in my heart that Jesus is the only place, but I literally don't feel like I know how. That sounds so bad bc I've always been a believer but for some reason, I'm scared. It's almost like I feel like I'm being too vulnerable and that is something I really struggle with.😢 Thank you so much for putting yourself out there, it is truly a blessing! Shawn, thank you for being you!

WOW, can't wait for tomorrow #3! As a child I thought abuse in your family was normal as well as the thought of suicide.... because of Christ I've been able to forgive my abusers, including my own father. Because of Christ I am free of my own chains and able to sleep peacefully. Thank you Shawn. It is so encouraging to see God using you. A light in the darkness.

Just bought the gummy bears after hearing this guy talk. I was compelled to support you. People need to hear these things. Keep doing what your doing brother. Thank you

Abuse does run for generations on both sides of my family. Very rarely does anyone talk about it. It has effected everyone even as adults.

Just when you think you have heard the most tragic story ever, you see this interview. I cannot even comprehend this interview. The story of redemption is so beautiful and inspiring.

This was a awesome interview! This man’s story is amazing. I met and seen him when I was coaching football at Christian high school in California. He’s a good man for helping as many kids as he can before he leaves this earth! God bless you sir!

This channel has made me a better man every time I watch one of your videos. You and your guests open my eyes to so much about myself with my childhood and military career. Thank you Ryan and thank your guests as well. You're doing the lords work and im thankful the world has people like you in it. It gives me hope

Shawn this is the best interview you've had. Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with Victor... his story changed me and strengthened my own faith. Thank you. ❤🙏🏻

What an amazing man. I absolutely love what he said about marriage. I wish everyone thought this way.

I listened to all three parts on Spotify and I could not stop listening. Easily one of the top 2-3 guests you’ve interviewed, maybe the best but I haven’t made it through all the previous interviews. Shawn don’t stop doing these interviews. The Lord is using you to help people heal, spread his message and make people aware of the evil that really exists in this world. Great job.

The most powerful guest you have had on your show. What a blessing his life will be from it. Shawn, I see you growing in your faith so much. Be the sponge. God has blessed you with a voice that will change lives forever. Blessing to you.

Part-time regular forces GWOT vet here - Shawn, man to man thank you for what you do here. Your podcast and the incredible guests you give a platform to have been a catalyst that has encouraged me to become a better father to my two kids, a better husband to my wife and a better man in general. Keep up the good fight brother, and if you ever doubt the impact you’re making is large enough or making meaningful change, know that it is.

Victor is living proof that with the right about of faith and love any hard heart can soften and love and be an inspiration for many of us who struggle with our own past life. God bless him and you also Shawn.

Keep doing what you’re doing Shawn, Gods not done with you and I’m looking forward to seeing you on this journey. God bless you, Katy and little Ryan.

Over the years I’ve watched Shawn transform on this platform. Still trips me out. 🤯☝🏼 awesome brother.

Wow, new to your channel. I’ve been following Victor Marx for years. Can’t wait to see the next part of the interview. I like your interview style. Asking great questions and follow up questions. Most people rush through, interrupt and talk over their guests. You’ve created a relaxed atmosphere and plenty of time to talk. I’m learning new things about Victor. I appreciate your sensitivity to not only Victor but those watching who have been through trauma or have loved ones who… May Jesus help all of you and your loved ones that have suffered. May the Lord Jesus set you free and redeem all and bring you into your calling and destiny. In Jesus name, amen. 🙏🏼💗✝️

I am mentally exhausted from this interview. What a courageous amazing man....i just cant wrap my head around how he transitioned through everything to be where he is now. Just incredible. Makes my troubles seem so minoot and really just not worthy of my pain...Thank you.

I am so excited for this one! Victor Marx is amazing and inspiring.

absolutely the most powerful of the many interviews I have seen. All I can say is Amen and may God bless this man. Thank you for sharing his message

It's so hard to hear a child so terribly treated but what a fantastic tribute to God's glory and healing. Thank you

I absolutely love how engrossing these 3 parts were. I saw a short of him talking about the rescue of the girl who had been brainwashed & he got the call from his friend. To learn where he's been to where he's going. I feel god talking to me through these episodes. THANK YOU!

Shawn you have catapulted to Numero uno in my book! I love Rogan and PBD but your in depth, authentic, journey-driven interviews are what I look forward to every week. Exceptional work and through your podcast I know people watching will come to Jesus AND learn a lot about what’s going on this world. I can’t say enough.

Wow, what a Testimony this guest gave! Luv the show, keep doing what you do, Shawn & Victor... God bless you both! 🙏

This man is a walking symbol of hope and what God can do to a person who gives his life to Jesus, amen brother 🙏

I have wanted Victor on Shawn's show for so long. Overjoyed it's finally happened.

By far the best episode you've had Shawn, his story and his testimony and the Truth is what sets people free! Thank you Jesus!

Thank you Shawn. So many of us can relate to childhood trauma. 🙏🏻

This man went through what he did as a child so he could truly know what the children that he is helping have faced. He and his wife have found their true purpose in this life.

I'm just sitting on red waiting to hear part three. This has really spoken to me. I pray for God to help me and others find that level of healing and myself personally to learn from him about true grace. I am lacking. Thank you both for this.

Best interview you've ever done. Thank you and great work asking good questions and being such a great listener.

This is extremely compelling and I want to thank you Shawn for having Victor on. His words ring so true, I see the perpetuation of family of origin issues daily as a therapist, and we have to acknowledge and break it, which requires hard mental health work. Cognitive and behavioral changes are a must. Compassion for others and their inability to recognize they are pushing those learned behaviors, reactions, etc forward. Great one sir 👍❤

Shawn, Victor was so right when he said (in Part 1) that God has anointed you. I've always loved your interviews but since you've come to Christ these interviews keep getting more profound. Victor and Eileen are incredible representatives of Christ's love. Thank you for sharing his incredible story! May God bless & protect all of you and your loved ones!

Victor you're testimony is so incredibly thank you,the best weapon is forgiveness ✝️

Wow what an episode I'm so proud of this man, makes me examine myself.

Listening to Victor has really defined a new definition of forgiveness to me. He helped me to forgive my mother who was deeply involved in the occult. God bless you Victor

Wow , I have cried and felt the presence of God during both interviews. God bless You and everyone watching this . God works in mysterious ways. Be blessed everyone.

This series with Victor is incredibly powerful. Thank you for sharing his testimony on your show, Shawn. All Glory to God! Praying for you and your sanctification journey with the Lord.

Shawn has interviewed so many powerful interviews and for shawn to be speechless you know its a powerful story. Thank you for sharing this Shawn and Victor.

Shawn Ryan you sir are amazing. Your guests are amazing. Thank you so much for this gift. Mark thank you sir for sharing these profound and important experiences you have been through. But most of all thank you both for helping so many people with your words and understanding. God bless all of you.❤

Mr. Marx and his wife are warriors.

Such a great episode. I too have Been thru alot from childhood trauma to wartime trauma. This connected with Me on many levels. Thanks for all you do shawn!!

What a sad, horrific, terrifying, beautiful story. Thanks for sharing your story. Thanks Shawn for this great interview. Can wait to read the book and watch the film 🎥.

I have never sobbed with podcast content. I kept saying Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and all the Saints in heaven over and over again. Thank you for giving him a safe space to share his story.

Shawn I could listen to Victor on this show if you had him for days. What an amazing human being!

Glad to be apart of this

Most emotional interview I’ve ever seen. Shawn you bring the best content on here hands down…. God bless

Watched every minute of these 2 episodes. This man has the strongest mind I’ve ever seen. Mind over matter is the takeaway for me. It’s clique until you’re exposed to folks like this. Dude is a miracle 🏆

I love that Sean is asking all these questions. I’m praying for you Sean. I can see your searching for “your” truth. It a beautiful thing to see!❤️

Just wow. Much love, peace and respect to Mr.Marx. This interview was eye opening to say the least. Good on you Shawn, yet again. You always give us the podcasts/interviews the public need to hear.

I ended up purchasing his autobiography from a second hand online book store. Got a signed copy from him 😊. Good book! May God continue to Bless you Victor!

There's the quote by Jordan Peterson "A harmless man is not a good man. A good man is a very dangerous man who has that under voluntary control" With what he has been through, with his talents and with his calm demeanour, Victor Marx is the personification of that quote

Your Testimony Victor Sir has to be THE most stunning testimony I have ever heard! Thank you SO much for sharing such personal details with us.

What an amazing human being.. thank u to these men for shedding light on the darkness of child abuse. Protect children at all cost 🙏 God bless America 🇺🇸

Well I cried a few times during this. The sweet older women who keep the picture to pray. Can’t see how truly lucky some of us are from having great parents.

What can I say? I have watched and listened to this. My heart broke for Victor! Bless all of you for putting this out for us!

To God be the Glory,to use Victor to reach the almost unreachable. The trama he endured as a child is horrifying. When he told how Jesus was there and bore the stripes with him and covered him was so vivid I could almost see it through my tears.What a testimony of God's love.Thank you Shawn for these amazing stories you bring.

This channel is awesome. I discovered it a few days ago. Shawn and his team are giving us powerful, important, and inspiring messages. God Bless!

Shawn, you are doing fantastic work!!!

Shawn Ryan and his extraordinary guests give me hope amidst these dark days of global corruption.

As someone who grew up with a abusive stepdad, and alot similar experiences, i feel your pain victor, i have battle for years with so many memories that flood back with triggers, i did find the strength to break the cycle and never put any of my children threw anything, i did battle with alcohol, drugs, anger, to make the memories and nighmares go away. I understand and thank you for your time and ability to put out to the world what some of us have gone threw, and what some are going threw. Semper Fi brother 24 - M.E.U. USMC

Wow thanks for sharing your testimony!!
