Jared Hudson | Navy SEAL Sniper Opens Up About Jesus

About this sermon

In this Code Red Talk episode, Pastor Zach Terry sits across from former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson — sniper, law enforcement investigator, anti-trafficking warrior, and seventh-generation Alabamian — for one of the most raw, faith-filled conversations we’ve ever recorded. From the battlefields of the Global War on Terror to a single-wide trailer where he gave his life to Christ at age six, Jared shares the testimony, the scars, and the unshakable convictions that drive him. This isn’t the normal discussion about civic govt. It’s two men of faith talking about spiritual warfare, fatherhood, the offense of the Gospel, what really happens to a man’s soul in the “dark places,” and why love will always outfight hate. Whether you came for the SEAL stories or the Scripture, you’re going to walk away challenged. ▶ Watch to the end — the answer to “how do you guard your soul?” will stick with you.
