We're taking a step back from our regularly scheduled programming to talk about something we find vital to life: Faith. If you're a fan of the show, you know that Shawn is always seeking truth and questioning the status quo. This type of work is rewarding, but challenging. Between the fog of his past on the battlefield and exposing evil here at home, the light was hard for Shawn to see sometimes. It is in that darkness that God showed up. This episode is about Shawn's journey to Faith & Christ. It's a testimony we hope inspires you. If you are struggling to find faith, we hope this episodes encourages you to look around and see that God is around you always. 🚨↘️ Shawn Ryan Show Links ↙️🚨 Newsletter - https://shawnryanshow.com/pages/newsletter Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/VigilanceElite Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shawn-ryan-show/id1492492083 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5eodRZd3qR9VT1ip1wI7xQ?si=59f9d106e56a4509 TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@shawnryanshow Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/shawnryan762 #vigilanceelite #shawnryanshow Shawn Ryan Show Sponsors: https://helixsleep.com/srs https://1stphorm.com/srs https://moinkbox.com/srs https://meetfabric.com/shawn https://betterhelp.com/shawn https://drinkhoist.com - USE CODE "SHAWN" https://mudwtr.com/shawn - USE CODE "SHAWNMUD" 00:00 - Introduction 04:17 - Where are my people? 06:22 - People who helped (Justin Hughes, Eddie Penney, Sam Childers, Eli Crane, Kyle Morgan) 08:43 - Shawn’s religious upbringing 09:33 - Getting out of war and meeting Katie 10:44 - Faith in war (Did you pray in war?) 12:00 - Atheist in a fox hole 13:34 - Spiritual men Shawn has met along the way 15:35 - Call sign “Bong” 16:51 - When did faith kick in? 25:48 - Tyler Vargus 26:31 - Covenant school shooting 29:40 - Shawn’s friend Dan Cerillo 30:55 - Justin Hughes gave me a book 33:00 - The normalization of evil affecting Shawn’s perspective 37:36 - Shawn and Katie talking about why Shawn was crying 39:09 - Shawn talks about seeing a representation of his friend Gabe 42:42 - Shawn and Dave Rutheford get into a heated discussion 48:40 - Chinese spy balloon 51:34 - Katie worried about Shawn and suicide 1:03:06 - Feeling the pressure to not care about evil 1:07:57 - A wise old air force veteran gives and intervention 1:13:19 - Katie’s encouraging advice about God 1:16:37 - Dan Cerillo’s daughter texts Shawn 1:24:31 - Shawn sees a UAP (footage) 1:27:42 - Reading the bible & talking with Eddie Penney 1:31:44 - 444 1:36:43 - Day to day difference in perspective 1:41:16 - Shawn meeting Katie and observing her faith 1:45:56 - Danny Dietz Memorial
