#GruntGod ch.1 - Cain and Moral Pain
Cain and Moral Pain
What if the story of Cain wasn’t just about punishment—but pain?
In this powerful first chapter of God Is a Grunt, we reexamine the world’s first murder through the lens of moral injury—the deep, spiritual pain that comes not just from violence, but from betrayal, shame, and exile.
With pastoral insight from Rev. David Peters, former Marine and Army chaplain, this episode unpacks how ancient scripture speaks directly to the struggles faced by modern warriors—and those who love them.

📝 A revised, annotated chapter exploring Cain’s story and its relevance to military moral injury (in both PDF and EPUB)
🎨 An original digital icon of Cain in exile—part of the GruntGod Icon Series
