U.S. Army Green Beret Gabe Gaines shares his journey through Army Special Forces, a crisis of faith, fatherhood, identity, and ultimately finding his way back to Jesus Christ.

After growing up as a pastor’s son, Gabe walked away from his faith, later returned to Christ, served as an urban missionary, and eventually found success in the corporate world. But something was still missing. That search for purpose ultimately led him to the U.S. Army and the Green Berets.

Earning the Green Beret and reaching his first Special Forces detachment should have been the fulfillment of a dream. Instead, Gabe found himself spiritually lost and questioning his faith for nearly two years.

Gabe opens up about Special Forces, spiritual warfare, fatherhood, forgiveness, healing, redemption, and what happens when achieving the thing you thought would give your life purpose still leaves you searching for more.

What happens when failure forces you to rebuild everything?

Adam J. Johnson is an Army Senior NCO, Combat Medic, Drill Sergeant, keynote speaker, discipline coach, author of Redefine the Discipline, and creator of the RTD System.

After an SFAS non-select and hitting rock bottom, Adam made the decision to rebuild his life through discipline, accountability, leadership, and purpose.

In this episode of the Peace, Power, and Purpose Podcast, Adam shares his transformation story and lessons forged through more than 14 years in the U.S. Army. We break down the five codes of the RTD System, overcoming failure, military leadership, resilience, identity, personal accountability, and why discipline has to take over when motivation disappears.

Adam also discusses Redefine the Discipline, why he turned the lessons from his own failures into a system designed to help others, and what he’s building next.

For 20 years, Kris Hregdovic served in the U.S. Navy SEAL Teams. But the Trident is only part of his story.

In this episode of the Peace, Power, and Purpose Podcast, Kris and I talk about the man behind the uniform and how his faith in Jesus Christ has shaped his identity, leadership, and purpose.

We get into his journey through the SEAL Teams, brotherhood, sacrifice, leadership, and the transition into life beyond the Teams. Kris shares what two decades in Naval Special Warfare taught him about service, mentorship, family, faith, and finding purpose when the mission begins to change.

We also talk about Pushing Back Chaos (PBC), the podcast Kris is part of, and his continued mission to have honest conversations about leadership, relationships, mental health, faith, and becoming better men.

Because eventually the uniform comes off. The titles disappear. The mission changes.

What remains is the man behind the Trident.

This isn’t just a Navy SEAL story. It’s a conversation about identity, faith, brotherhood, purpose, and following Christ into whatever mission comes next.
