A Navy mom here. In less than 2 weeks my husband, son and daughter and I will be attending my son Jordan’s PIR (look at me knowing the military abbreviations😂) boot camp graduation. From here he goes to Coronado. You know what that means Eddie and Shawn! A lot of this interview was of course VERY hard to hear but listening to the end was worth it and very needed! We are a christian family. We have all accepted Jesus as our Savior🙌🏼 Jordan really grew in his relationship with Jesus 2 months before BC and while in BC. So he is “softened” only to have to have to become callused if he wants to make it through BUD/s. As his mom, I’m praying every single day for God to protect his mind. He wants to fight for this great country! For our people! I support that! He knows where he will be when he dies! Who better to be in this position than believers who know they will be with their maker for eternity?! Eddie, the “good guys” as you call them, went before you because God was extending grace to you, drawing you to Himself in a crazy way!! You fought in the spiritual warfare! God won!!! You chose God! He wins! In the end times, God wins and satan knows it! he just wants to drag as many with him to fire as possible! I’m so happy to hear your good news! You are a child of God! And now living your life to serve Him! Amen! Amen!! God bless your family and the ways that you are saying YES to God as the Holy Spirit nudges you! Please pray for Jordan to keep Christ at the center of what he’s doing in the military…that he would be at the center of what God’s will is for him! God will take him as far as he is supposed to go. He’s trying to be a testimony of God by not cursing {in the military} where everyone curses! I’m praying that from the beginning he will never get into the drinking and drunkenness, the girls, the stuffing of emotions/feelings, the narcotics! So that there won’t have to be the pulling out and getting far away from it all. I wish you could be a BUD/s instructor right NOW Eddie! Eddie, keep yourself immersed in God’s word! ALL you need is right there in your Bible. I’ll end with this..GOD is moving! He is doing SOMETHING! I’m in a Navy mom of SEAL candidates FB group. There are 21 of us moms with sons going to Coronado and MANY are born again! I had been praying for at least ONE other christian friend out of those 80 other guys in his compartment for my son and God blessed him with several. So many believers in our moms group I can’t believe it! I don’t know what God is doing or what this means for what’s maybe about to go down in our country. Laying it all at the foot of the cross! And trying my best to leave it there!!

I thank God for His forgiveness and for the LIVING BREATHING WORDS of our Savior spoken through men like you.

[@leaningforward5294]

Shawn, I'm not sure if you realize what you're doing. Maybe it is by intent, maybe it is an unintended consequence. You are, without question, creating an atmosphere/climate where people see top of the food chain guys opening up about their struggles as a result of their service. You are creating a culture where it is OK to allow the emotional stress and all its consequences to come to the surface and be revealed. I think you are slowly changing our culture of suffering in emotional silence to a culture that it is OK to talk to someone and unpack and process in a healthy way all the PTS we have. Maybe, just maybe, the DOD will devote some serious resources to the mental health of our boys. I have no doubt, you will directly by way of this podcast, save lives. You probably already have.

[@jtjones4081]

I tore out articles from the newspaper back then. The AP article said "Oil companies giddy about the prospect of $15.00 per barrel oil from Iraq." That said it all. I don't blame these Patriot Warriers for serving. Quite the contrary, our Republic wouldn't survive without them. But know who you're serving. Christ taught turning the other cheek and loving your enemies, don't bastertise that message to suit your agenda. It's no wonder we all fall short. I'm all for the Old Testament eye for an eye, but that's not what Christ taught. Maybe that's why you suffer the pain. I don't think you should feel guilt, so I suppose I'm not a Christian. I believe in revenge, but so do the Jahdis

It’s been a year since this podcast, but my son recently introduced me to your shows and I found this one after watching a few. I was married to a paratrooper for 15 years and I could never figure out why he never loved himself, and in turn didn’t love us. We’re all on different journeys, but this podcast in particular has opened my eyes in my healing journey. We as spouses and parents of warriors go through our own war - it’s internal spiritual. We’re never going to understand your fight, but because we choose to love you, we’re in it, and we are forever changed by your pain. Salvation is just the beginning, your healing journey goes on forever. Thank you Shawn for helping the ex-wives too.

I was in Jbad supporting that particular TF when Extortion was shot down. I was in the TOC watching the same feeds and listening to our GFC repeatedly call out for anyone on the radio to respond. I still remember his name and the pain in his voice. I was not and have never been a SEAL, but I was an augment to their team. My time supporting the team as a young third class will always leave a mark on my soul. Shawn, if you read this, I'd like to send you one of the patches I had made for OEF 35, "Jalalabad Original." I had a bunch of them made for the platoon a month or so before Extortion was hit. It's the only one I have, and I want you to have it.

[@thedynamicsolo4232]

There is something about a persons decisions from the heart. When Christ really comes in, He not only changes the man, He changes the mans circumstances. The insidious veil that hides open evil is torn down. Keep going Jerome. I call them "micro decisions". It's those moment to moment changes in thinking. The decision to guard our tongues, minds and hearts is something that needs constant vigilance. Hosea 4:6 "My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge". We get into that bible and it changes the world, one soul at a time. A prayer was said for you. CJ

[@animula6908]

As a daughter whose dad left to go to training when I was 6 weeks old, I have to say he shouldn’t be ashamed that he wanted to go after his daughter was born. I grew up being proud my dad went out to protect and provide so my mom could stay home and focus on me, and I never felt abandoned or neglected because of it. That’s a gratitude issue, and my mom made sure I wasn’t allowed to grow up feeling ungrateful for all that my dad was doing for our family and community when he wasn’t present with us. He was doing all that for our sake’s and the sake of other people who depended on him because he was strong and capable. Kids need to be taught to value the sacrifices their parent’s make, and be glad that they have daddies who can’t feel good about sitting home and letting others make sacrifices while they play with the baby. That’s a gift, and his daughter may already admire him for it, but if she doesn’t she should.

As a new Christian I totally understand how Satan keeps us in the dark and completely deceived. I’m prior service but never at the level this brave man was. To have the opportunity to be completely naked emotionally and not be ashamed is something every man on this planet would fight valiantly for, that safe space is fleeting for so many of us. The love of God, peace of God and the assurances of God are absolutely mind blowing. Thank you for the platform and for allowing a safe space for men because we so desperately need it.

Those are the words of God and yet we didn't hear them, we hear this constant message of Jesus is prosperity and love. He can be but the fruits of his spirit are not a gold card, they are things needed to deal with a wicked world (patience, kindness, mercy, forgiveness,...) He's not a genie in a bottle. Thank you so much for the time you both put into this show... It was amazing and I will share it with all I know. I probably won't meet you all in this life but look forward to seeing you in heaven some day. May God continue to use you both as a bright light in this dark world.

"Circle dude" was bitching how is this guy able to get a clearance and able to join Development Group with 12 felonies and that the guy is taking a spot away from someone who is worthy. Well "Circle dude", we know you aren't the one who had a spot taken so don't f@#$ing worry about it. And Adam did not have 12 felonies. Adam was able to go through drug court and something called diversion, if he did all of his community service and passed all UA's , his arrest history would be wiped. Ask the fellas he served with, or read the book my friend. I honestly believe you will be touched by this man's transformation. HoG, brother, I can assure you, I am not an emotional guy....whatsoever! But this Adam guy had me tearing up. This Adam was an inspiration, alot of it had to do with his wife, she was and still is amazing. But Adam lost x amount of fingers when his hummer rolled in Afghanistan.

At this point, where I need to stop, they ask the question… why the good ones? and not guys like us that perhaps were… ‘not so good’ (paraphrasing here…) and I say… because God wanted to show then, and for them to show the world what the evolution of a man (in Spirit) looks like.

Incredibly powerful testimony. You will never know most of the souls you just saved by enduring the pain of sharing your story. What an incredible platform and gift to be given, from which to praise Jesus from and bring others along. Once a Crusader for our country now the same for Christ. Can’t tell you how much our youth need to sit and hear this - All of it!! Keep going!

The transparency of Eddie Penney in this interview makes it one of the most awesome and valuable interviews I've ever seen. I so appreciate how Eddie left ego outside the room and brought 100% real to the interview! Thank you SR for bring this to us!!!

[@ktay966]

Eddie’s Christian testimony got me, really got me. As he broke down a few times during this interview, I was in sync and cried as well, during several segments. I am often influenced by those evil thoughts during my own personal walk with Christ. This one interview SPOKE TO ME and it’s making an impact on me.

[@lindaorr976]

Every man on this planet needs to hear this interview with Eddie Penny, a Warrior for Christ! His journey is incredible. Shawn, not many men know what to do when another man is crying. You do an awesome job sitting there quietly and not feeling like you must say something! It’s remarkable to watch!

[@toddlorenzo7067]

I just sat in a parking lot and watched the whole 5 hours !! Thanks so much to Eddie and to Shawn for this video!! Eddie you are without a doubt saving lives by telling your testimony. I go to a church not to far from Ft. Bragg NC and we have quite a few military families that attend and our Pastor and you are sending the same message about the church being weak and we are at war with evil and men to be strong and take leadership roles starting with there family!!!! I will pray for you and your family going forward THANK YOU so much for sharing!! THANK YOU for your service and your love for this great country!!

[@coachmarc2002]

Man, I didn't want this conversation to end. I cannot express how cool it was to hear how God worked in Eddie's life. Thank you so much for being so raw and open about your journey. God bless you as you continue to be a warrior fighting against the spiritual evil in this world.

Thank you Mr. Eddie Penney for being so open. What you all have endured is extremely heartbreaking. I also appreciate you sharing how President Obama showed respect to the fallen!

This was one of the if not THE MOST emotional interviews i have ever seen. Mostly those ex Operators don’t show their emotion onscreen.

I didn’t think you’d be able to top the Calderon episode, but Penney was intensely personal. Pure humility, emotional vulnerability, faithfully true to himself. I truly hope that you stay the course Eddie and continue to both seek the Lord and push us men to be the best self we can be. You’re exactly right in that it’s Spiritual Warfare for men on a daily basis right now, especially when struggling to know what it means to be a true man, a true husband and a true father in a time when evil is doing its best to tear down our role. You’ve inspired me to put forth my best Dad effort and show unrelenting love to my two girls. Thank you Shawn and Eddie for putting out content like this. The world needs warrior husbands and fathers now more than ever if Good is to prevail over evil. God bless you both!

Shawn, you've gained a subscriber that has always been a fan. I'm an old Recondo Scout. I listened to this whole podcast with real unmitigated glee. The world is getting darker by the day, but God is bringing true warriors off the field of battle, healing their wounds just as He did with King David's mighty men and using them for good. You have a rare talent to truly listen, allow the interviewee to fully answer and take the talk where it will go with us in the room. It allows a lot of us old guys to heal as well. Kudos to you Brother and God's protection to you and yours...

[@marcosbenavidez4588]

I've watched many of your shows, but this one got me the most. Mr Penny's testimony hit home. I was a police officer in the "bad side" of town in San Antonio, Tx. I was womanizing, drinking cheating, hurting people just to be a dick sometimes. My wife convinced me to go to a men's A.C.T.S. retreat for first responders. I showed up just thinking of ways I could get out of there. I found my Lord in Savior Jesus Christ that weekend and it changed my life. I didn't change immediately but have been a work in progress since then. Thank you for this episode. It makes me think that if this soldier warrior can do it then I am not alone. Thank you Mr Penny and Mr Ryan. God bless you both.

[@TheProtector1995]

Shawn, to my knowledge, has no formal training as a counselor, nor as an interviewer. He has experience that can't be learned the easy way, and that is what makes this show the greatest documentation of combat stories I have ever seen. The guests relate and open up because they know Shawn has been through hell and back, as they have. It seems like the guests end up healing in front of the camera because Shawn is able to get them to verbalize things they may never have spoken about before. Thank you for what you do, Shawn. You're documenting history in perhaps the most raw, genuine way possible.

[@joelbrown2625]

Man, I feel for these guys and the loss they've suffered. But it's also comforting knowing that these men I saw as superhuman still feel emotions and are very susceptible to weakness and mistakes like we all are. They are human just like we all are. Hearing Eddie preach Christ was the most amazing thing ever. I hope more veterans and warriors find Him and give their lives to him. Shawn, this content is raw and honest and real. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into what you guys go through and live with. I'll be praying for you all. Keep up the good work.

[@michaelsirianni1635]

Eddie you are ABSOLUTELY right about faith and the lack of faith in this country. The shutting down of churches during the "Plandemic", taking God out of the schools and shaming people for praying and believing in God. The trying of making people embarrassed and ashamed to be Christian's. It's nothing but pure evil and sick. You are inspirational and I pray more and more people hear your story and talent to heart and we all rise up in our faith and put this evil agalenda to shame. God bless you and thank you Shawn for this amazing interview. God bless you as well and keep going on your journey of faith as well.

[@trinidyjones8991]

Shawn you continue to amaze me with your interviews. God bleaa you. A message for Eddie. "Can I pray for you"? Brother in Christ, I found Jesus at 19 with almost drowning on a Christian hike my cousin dragged me off, too. I always weep when one comes to the Lord.. Thank you for your testimony. I'm almost 49 now & have to say it was the best decision I ever made. I was able to raise 2 men, 21 & 19 who also found Jesus. My husband of 25 years found him 19 years ago. God has blessings in store for you. Always remember, with Jesus anything is possible and he will never give us more than we can handle. You my dear brother have carried a lot to handle. Now its your time to wait on the Lord and yield to him. Those blessings will flow. Saying a prayer for your walk with Him, your protection and His Grace to shine apon you.

When Eddie says " He is my pole in the ground. And no matter the wind or the pain, I'm tethered". I put the word tethered in there . But no one could have put it better.. I feel that when you are spared when someone next to you gets injured or dies, and you come out unscathed or even worse but you lived and they didn't., I at first for a long while actually had a hard time and the guilt is beyond. But when the dust settles I owe it to that person to try and live each day as well as I can. Thank you.

I stumbled across this channel a couple weeks back and it is absolutely incredible. The stories and testimonies of these warriors and the sacrifices they've made, and their gumption for doing good and fighting evils of the world alongside the tragedies they've had to bear witness to should be revered. These men and women are the reason we Americans can rest easy when we lay our heads down at night, even if they cannot. The mental, physical, and emotional exertion that these brave individuals exude is, by my mind, completely unfathomable. @ShawnRyanShowOfficial your work here is needed and deeply appreciated and i respect the hell out of you and your team man. The first episode i watched was the 3 part interview of Tom Satterly on the 30 year anniversary of Mogadishu and instantly became enamored with this show.
