Godly Ambition: Unlocking the Full Potential of Your Time, Talent, and Treasure with Ruslan KD, Ep. 253

In this powerful and deeply insightful conversation, Drs. Zach & Tim Clinton sit down with Bradley Geary - former Tactical Troop Commander for SEAL Team 6 and Commanding Officer of BUD/S - to unpack what it truly means to lead, endure, and find your identity beyond performance. Brad shares hard-earned lessons from the battlefield and the training ground, offering a rare look into the mindset required to operate at the highest level of discipline, resilience, and sacrifice. But more than that, this conversation goes beyond elite performance as it gets to the heart of who we are. They talk about the power of brotherhood and team, why isolation is one of the most dangerous places a person can live, and how true leadership is rooted in selflessness, not status. Bradley also opens up about the dark realities of combat, the emotional and spiritual weight it carries, and why those experiences, while costly, can also shape purpose and perspective. Perhaps most compelling is the growing movement of revival happening within the SEAL teams, and how many are beginning to wrestle with a deeper truth: your identity is not found in what you do, but in who God says you are. This episode is for leaders, competitors, and anyone striving for excellence, while trying to stay grounded in what matters most.

Built for Battle: What SEAL Team 6 Teaches About Leadership, Identity, & Faith, Ep. 296

In this special Easter episode, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with Pastor Travis Johnson to discuss his powerful new book (Un)Embarrassed of Jesus: Follow From a Distance and Lose Your Faith; Follow Closely and Change the World. Travis challenges the quiet tension many Christians feel today where we are close enough to say we believe in Jesus, yet distant enough to avoid the cultural backlash that can come with truly following Him. Through the powerful story of Peter’s journey from denial to bold proclamation, we explore how spiritual distance slowly erodes faith while nearness to Christ produces courage, conviction, and transformation. Travis shares why this message is so urgent for the Church today and how ordinary believers can move from comfortable cultural Christianity to courageous, world-changing faith. This conversation is a timely Easter reminder that the resurrection doesn’t just invite belief…it calls us to follow Jesus boldly and without embarrassment.

In this conversation, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with Bishop Kelvin Cobaris to talk about what it means to lead with courage and hope in a time when our culture feels increasingly divided, angry, and uncertain. Bishop Cobaris reflects on why choosing to be a light in dark times often comes with a cost and how courageous leadership has a way of inspiring and strengthening others to stand as well. Together, we explore the power of forgiveness, the importance of pursuing unity in the midst of division, and how spiritual transformation begins when God changes us from the inside out. Bishop Cobaris also shares his heart for the next generation and the kind of leaders our world desperately needs - leaders marked by humility, curiosity, courage, and compassion. This conversation is a powerful reminder that even in difficult times, hope, reconciliation, and a brighter future are still possible.
