A Navy SEAL sniper sits down and gets real about the one thing combat never prepared him for: Jesus.

In this Code Red Talk episode, Pastor Zach Terry sits across from former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson — sniper, law enforcement investigator, anti-trafficking warrior, and seventh-generation Alabamian — for one of the most raw, faith-filled conversations we’ve ever recorded. From the battlefields of the Global War on Terror to a single-wide trailer where he gave his life to Christ at age six, Jared shares the testimony, the scars, and the unshakable convictions that drive him.

This isn’t politics-as-usual. It’s two men of faith talking about spiritual warfare, fatherhood, the offense of the Gospel, what really happens to a man’s soul in the “dark places,” and why love will always outfight hate. Whether you came for the SEAL stories or the Scripture, you’re going to walk away challenged.

▶ Watch to the end — the answer to “how do you guard your soul?” will stick with you.
