Dom Raso: SEAL Team Six Veteran on Discipline, Prayer & Living w/ Purpose: Owner of CRUSH EVERYTHING
Dec 25, 11:20 AM
Warrior of God: The Spiritual Battle with Dom Raso
This week’s Team Never Quit guest is Dom Raso, a former Navy SEAL Team Six operator who is renowned for his elite military service and deeply inspiring journey of faith and personal transformation. Dom’s name is synonymous with the highest levels of military excellence, but beyond his unparalleled contributions to the U.S. military, his story is one of profound spiritual resilience, unwavering commitment to family, and a fierce devotion to spreading the Gospel.
Dom served with distinction as part of Navy SEAL Team Six, a unit known for its elite status and high-risk operations. Throughout his career, he contributed to the development of military techniques that are still in use today. But in this episode, Dom reveals the deeper side of his journey—how he has navigated grief, loss, and intense physical and spiritual battles while remaining anchored in his faith.
Now a devoted Catholic, husband, father of five, and entrepreneur, Dom is leveraging his platform to lead others into deeper encounters with God. With an Instagram following of over 175,000 people, he is a bold evangelist, sharing scriptural reflections, his devotion to the Rosary, and his love for the Eucharist. As the founder of Crush Everything, a company focused on equipping individuals to defend themselves and their loved ones, Dom embodies the philosophy that the physical and spiritual are intertwined in the life of a warrior.
In this conversation, Dom reflects on his experiences as a Navy SEAL, the power of prayer, and the concept of spiritual warfare. He shares how the Rosary, a tool he has cherished since his military days, has become his most powerful weapon. Dom also explores the importance of living a disciplined life, staying close to the Lord, and using one’s unique gifts to evangelize and spread virtue in the culture.
In This Episode You Will Hear:
• Most people have enough children around them where really you could spend the majority of your time teaching them. (17:57)
• If we’re not taking those moments we had as a kid and really expounding on them and making them better for our children, we’re missing a key point in the gifts we can give them.(19:34)
• I had a lot of people speaking very positively [to me]. (21:42)
• At about 8 or 9, I would say that was a sure sign of like:”That’s it. Now I know what I’m doing.” (23:07)
• The Holy Spirit just put it on my heart and said: That’s the path.” (23:21)
• I believe God has a deep purpose for everybody. (25:10)
• Life is made up of choices.(25:22)
• I love my father. I love my mother - to death. They knew what was right, but they didn’t live it out themselves. (29:07)
• What I was missing was a guy like us, or man – a real man, that grabbed me on the shoulders and said “Son, you’re not walking on the right path.”(30:43)
• I always felt the closeness of God in my life, whether I was on an operation, or going through a challenging time in in my life. You’re trying to make sense of what’s going on. But you know that God’s presence is with you. (33:27)
• I meet a lot of team guys who either: A-they know they really need God, or they think that they are God.(34:06)
• We’re going to go through challenging moments in our lives. We’re gonna get our butt kicked. It’s though those challenges that form us and forge us to have the faith we have today. (36:27)
• There’s no way I’d be the man I am today without God’s help. (38:26)
• Everybody has opportunities to have God work in their life. (39:22)
• One of my major call to actions to other men is” Do you want to into the fight and be part of the solution, or are you just gonna point your finger at the bad and never do anything about it?”
• Everybody listening: We’re all stewarding something. (60:12)
• We’re really to at the physical part, we’re really goo at the mindset part. But it’s the Spirit that we’re lacking. (85:40)
