Part 1: From Training with Jocko to Losing His Faith—A SEAL’s Redemption Story

In this episode of the Engage Your Destiny podcast, host Ben Peterson sits down with retired Navy SEAL Jimmy May—a warrior with an incredible story.

From growing up in El Paso to joining the Navy at 18, Jimmy takes us through his journey from nuclear mechanic to the elite SEAL teams. He opens up about grueling BUD/S training, intense combat missions in Iraq, and serving alongside leaders like Jocko Willink.

But this isn’t just a war story. It’s about what happens after the battlefield—the personal battles, brokenness, and ultimately, the road to faith and redemption.
