EPISODE 005 Band of Brothers Fighting Together in Spiritual Warfare
Locked and Loaded Faith: Mighty Men of Valor
Locked and Loaded Faith is a weekly podcast hosted by Andrew Jones, a Marine Corps Combat Veteran who fought in Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. After overcoming Major Depressive Disorder, Combat PTSD, and suicidal struggles, Andrew discovered redemption through Christ’s love, realigning his life as a devoted father, husband, and man of God in his Arizona community. This podcast fuses raw infantry grit with unapologetic biblical truth, delivering practical wisdom on leadership, family, and faith. Through solo teachings and interviews with men embodying Christ-like masculinity, it inspires Christian men, military veterans, and especially Christian veteran men to tackle real-world challenges with scripture-based solutions. Drawing from Marine Corps experiences and Proverbs 27:17—“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another”—Locked and Loaded Faith explores identity, integrity, fatherhood, marriage, temptation, work-faith balance, raising kids, and spiritual growth. Episodes drop on Sunday nights for Monday morning access, arming listeners with the tools to kick off their week grounded in biblical masculinity. More than a podcast, it’s a call to build a brotherhood of resilient, faith-driven men living out God’s plan in today’s world.
