October 14th is Charlie Kirk Remembrance Day, and today we are honoring his legacy and his message with a very special episode of Locked and Loaded Faith, A Podcast For Christian men that blends biblical principles for godly living with the grit and discipline of a warrior. In this episode, I am joined by a man of God who has a heart of worship, a heart for boys to become men, and, more importantly, a heart after God, Dominic Ybarra. Lock in as we discuss Charlie Kirk’s message of becoming a man, being bold for the gospel, and what his martyrdom means for the church as we embark on this turning point that is igniting a generation for Jesus. We discuss this turning point in the church and the importance of men rising up and taking their place to lead, while keeping a disciplined focus on God. Charlie Kirk was passionate about the gospel and spoke boldly about boys becoming men and not succumbing to the ways of the world. We believe that if the men in the church rise up and lead the way, then this revival and this igniting of a generation will not just sustain, it will grow and flourish, and we will see the multitudes coming to Jesus. You’re not going to want to miss a moment of this episode.

Stay strong, keep pressing forward, Semper Fi, and God bless. Now, let's get into it.

In Episode 026, Back to Faith: A Journey of Repentance and Blessing, I am joined by a mighty man of God and brother in Christ, Matthew Bellamy. Matthew grew up in the church learning about God, but when he went off to college, that all got set aside. This led him down a worldly path of brokenness, which eventually brought him back to the church to seek a true relationship with Christ. And through it all, he has been blessed with a faithful and Godly wife and two beautiful little girls.

Listen in to our conversation and hear how God worked in Matthew’s life to raise him up as a husband and father who is leading his family to serve in the kingdom of God.

In Episode 025 of Locked and Loaded Faith: Mighty Men of Valor, I am joined by a powerful brother in Christ and personal mentor of mine, Gilbert Ybarra. Gilbert grew up on the streets of Phoenix and got involved with gangs at a young age. This landed him behind bars on multiple occasions and brought on a mindset that he would never live to see 18. He’s now a proud grandfather, and his family faithfully serves the Kingdom of Heaven, and he disciples other men to live out the life God has called them to live. Listen to our conversation and hear about the goodness of God, and how no one is too far gone or beyond the reach of Jesus.

Alright, gentlemen. Lock in for EPISODE 024: Redemption, A Veteran's Victory Over Addiction. In this episode, I am joined by Brian Gallagher, an Army Veteran who served as a Combat Medic in Iraq, a strong advocate for military veterans and those on a journey to overcoming addiction, and most importantly, a mighty man of God. Listen in to our conversation as we discuss the overwhelming goodness of God and how His plan is always the best plan. We also explore what it means to be a brother in Christ, a father, and a husband as he prepares to marry the woman God has placed in his life. My name is Andrew Jones, and this is Locked and Loaded Faith, A Podcast For Christian Men That Blends Biblical Principles For Godly Living With the grit and discipline of a warrior. Let’s get into it.

In this gripping episode of Locked and Loaded Faith, Andrew Jones guides listeners through the incredible life of Sean Stoddard — a humble husband, father of five, U.S. Army Reserve Command Sergeant Major, former Mesa police officer, and founder of the nonprofit Archangels. What begins as a portrait of service quickly becomes a high-stakes story of survival: a routine traffic stop, a split-second decision, and a car traveling 80 mph that leaves Sean in a coma and wipes his memory clean.

Follow Sean from the battlefield to the bedside — from deployments in Iraq and missions to build bridges with communities overseas, to the intimate, raw moments of awakening blind and unfamiliar with his own family. The episode reads like a novel of redemption: friends and family planting seeds of faith, intense rehabilitation and unconventional therapies, the mysterious ways God’s protection appears in small mercies, and the tension of military boards and titles that test identity and purpose.

Through candid conversation, Sean reveals how faith became the compass when everything else was erased. He shares the daily disciplines that anchor him — prayer, humility, repentance, and the call to serve — and how those practices reshaped brokenness into mission. Along the way, you’ll hear poignant scenes: a wife reintroducing herself, battle buddies showing up at hospitals, the symbolism stitched into a challenge coin, and a family rallying to turn a house into a home again.

This is not a story about perfection, but about a man who chooses to strive — one degree at a time — toward wholeness. It’s about the interplay of providence and persistence, of community and courage, and of a faith that meets the furnace but refuses to be defined by it. Lock in for an intimate, hope-filled episode that will leave you encouraged, convicted, and ready to carry the light of resilience into your own life.
