Episode 24: The Jesus People Podcast | Ex-SEAL Garrett Unkelbach: Resilient Faith, Transformation & Purpose
In this electrifying episode of The Jesus People Podcast, former Navy SEAL Garrett Unkelbach peels back the curtain on elite military life—and shows how true strength begins with a surrendered heart. From brutal BUD/S “Hell Week” trials to leading a global men’s ministry, Garrett reveals the Biblical truths that forged his identity, unleashed rock-solid resilience, and reshaped his view of masculinity, fatherhood, and purpose.
Raised in a loving Christian home yet plunged into one of the world’s toughest combat units, Garrett had to reconcile “good intentions” with real-life fruit. Discover how James 1 endurance, Romans 12 transformation, and the power of spoken words helped him overcome performance pressure, mental health battles, and the lure of pride—while equipping men everywhere to live fearless, disciplined, Spirit-led lives.
Key Highlights
Inside Hell Week: how perspective, identity, and humility carried him when talent wasn’t enough
