Why A Navy Seal Became an Apologist
How did former Navy Seal Chad Williams become a Christian? And how does he uniquely approach defending the Christian faith? In this interview, we discuss his conversion to Christianity, Seal training, and how he defends the faith today. We take live questions!

911 was an inside job ( building 7) the war mongering yanks went off to fight a fictitious war. Making the war makers a bucket load of money. Only for the Americans to run away from Iraq and Afghanistan with their tails between their legs. Giving the “enemy” 1st grade weapons and technology.
Amazing. What a fantastic interview. Should have 1 million views.
Stunning testimony.
Comr all ye Jolly people,
Wherever you may be,
Suppose little Mary Phagan
Belonged to you or me.
Now little Mary's mother
She weeps and mourns all day,
Praying to meet little Mary
In a better world some day.
Now little Mary's in Heaven,
Leo Frank's in jail,
Waiting for the day to come
When he can tell his tale.
Frank will be astonished
When the angels come to say,
"You killed little Mary Phagan;
It was on one holiday."
Judge he passed the sentence,
Then he reared back;
If he hang Leo Frank,
It won't bring little Mary back.
Frank he's got little children,
And they will want for bread;
Look up at their papa's picture,
Say, "Now my papa's dead."
Judge he passed the sentence
He reared back in his chair;
He will hang Leo Frank,
And give the help a year.
Next time he passed the sentence,
You bet, he passed it well;
Well, Solister H. M.
Sent Leo Frank
Man I'm dying. I really love this story.
Man. I hope your good. Man
Thank you for your service and thank you for your ministry
Chad has an amazing story! This was such a great conversation ❤
Great talk! đź’Ą
If it was true it wouldn’t need defending…
If you had evidence you would just present it no need for faith…
We have copies of 7 letters that originate with a guy name Paul…
And if you knew anything about how the brain works or particle physics you can toss free will out the window… just saying…
Thanks Sean, this was a powerful interview.
I really enjoyed listening to this. I have read his book too and it was cool connecting the dots from this interview to what he wrote in his book.
So good; so happy to pass on to others. Mrs. Gaines
defend faith like you are you killing innocent brown innocent Afghani and Iraqi people .To save Saudis who are guilty of 9/11 attacks GO JESUS ! USA
Wow! Enjoyed this.
why is it that our 'freedoms' are always elusively hiding from us in a sand pit in the middle east?
Glory to God! What a testimony Chad! Thank you for sharing this and may God bless you! Sean, your channel is beyond amazing! Thank you for bringing us great, uplifting + timely content time and time again!
Amos from the Expanse is getting around!!! Just kidding! Love my man Chad 🙏🏻👊🏻💙
I love how his name is Chad
I am forever in awe of our great God, Abba Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua. He is precise in all that He does. He is perfect! Just as Chad went to church, after being absent for a long time, the Pastor's message that day couldn't be more perfect for him as a Navy Seal. It was a story of a soldier from 1 Kings 5. WOW! I thoroughly enjoyed Chad's testimony and preaching. God bless you both!
24:00 Bro what ??
Pulled ahead of a monkey on monkey bars ??
Bro is amazing
25:00 That’s the exact day I was born
Navy Seals are strong, courageous people. If they were smart, they wouldn't be Navy Seals, I am afraid. 🙂
That was incredible
Powerful testimony! Thank you and praise be to God through Jesus our Lord.
This was amazing! What a story! Praying for Chad and what’s next for him.
awesome,,, Phil. 4:8-9
Wow, preach it, brother. This has been amazing and encouraging and very challenging
My brother was a SEAL for over a decade before he died in 2012. It's great to hear from Chad and see how much he seems like him.
This is one of the best testimonials I have ever seen. Incredible.
I like how polite you are Sean, you listen without interrupting 👍🏼
Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. (2 Timothy 4:2-4 NIV)
The Biden ministration going to making it so it's going to be fair when Navy Seals and other US military fight the enemy in the Middle East Al-Qaeda the Taliban will have the latest in weapons are there other rifles and military vehicles. " fair is fair" >Joe Biden
This is so great. Sean is so awesome to provide this platform to glorify God, and not to be self righteous. Very humble guy!
so when being a navy seal did u kill your enimies o give them a bible in the warzone
It's ok to acknowledge it was Ravi Zacharias who gave that quote half way through this conversation.
I know it well .
He deserves recognition for how he reached so many with his wisdom in a good way.
How about a Navy Seal who became a Muslim Imam?
Does that count?
Sean received his bachelor’s degree from Biola University in La Mirada, California. After that he graduated summa cum laude from the Talbot School of Theology where he earned a master’s degree in Theology and another in Philosophy. He then earned his Ph.D. in Apologetics and Worldview Studies at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
A PhD in a collection of ancient Hebrew literature from a barbaric tribal culture is valuable because…
Would love to hear how his father and other family members see him now that he is a seal and a Christian. Great interview.
Really enjoyed this video.
I have been more fed or taught, " dont kill at all" and "be as gentle as possible".
Hearing just some pieces of the argument for making a distinction between "killing" and "murder" and standing up for the weak.
Makes me rethink my stance on this topic
Absolotely loved this interview!!!
What a guy!
Defend the Faith like how the Navy Seals defended Afghanistan?
Got to meet Chad in person years ago and bought his book. Amazing man.
This was incredibly encouraging, I wasn't sure I'd relate much to Chad as I am a SAHM, but my testimony-that desire a attain, seeking fulfillment from anything other than God is exactly where I was, and the Lord is faithful to open the eyes of the called. Amen! Thanks Chad and Sean!
It is interesting to know that no new Christians ever went to war until Constantine came along in the year 300 a d
Really enjoy listening to Chad
Awesome!
Anyone know who wrote that poem Chad quoted? The "skill him and thrill him" quote? This was such a good interview. Thank you Sean and Chad.
So Chad is not a Baptist or a James White fan….
