What a 25-Year SWAT Veteran Learned About Control, Courage, and Christ
Description
He spent 25 years kicking in doors—until God opened one.
SWAT officer Paul Milone has lived through more than 1,100 missions, 300 undercover buys, and moments that would shake most people to their core.But it wasn’t training that finally brought him peace—it was surrender.
In this Defenders LIVE conversation, Paul and I talk about what happens when everything you’ve relied on—discipline, training, control—meets something bigger than you. His story is one of courage, humility, and faith forged under fire.

* Real team culture: trust, prayer, and the kind of camaraderie you can’t fake.
* Processing 2020’s riots, staying mission-focused, and keeping your soul intact.
* Identity shifts, retirement “doors,” and following God’s lead when you can’t see the next step.

This episode will sharpen your decision-making, strengthen your mindset, and remind you that even the strongest warriors find peace not by holding tighter—but by letting go.
