Jeremy Stalnecker“Why Success Didn’t Save Me” | A Navy SEAL’s Faith Awakening
January 15, 2026 ● 78 minShare this episode
What happens when you finally achieve everything you worked for only to realize it didn’t give you peace or purpose of life?
Former Navy SEAL Chad Williams opens up about the moment he reached the pinnacle of success and found himself more empty than ever. In this conversation, Chad shares how becoming a Navy SEAL, his version of “gaining the whole world”, left him spiritually broken, searching for meaning, and ultimately led him to a life-changing encounter with faith.
From the loss of his mentor Scott Helvenston, to the brutal realities of combat, to the internal war between revenge and redemption, this episode dives deep into purpose, masculinity, suffering, and what it really means to live for something bigger than yourself.
This is not a motivational talk. This is a hard, honest conversation about identity, faith, legacy, and why achievement alone will never satisfy the soul.
