Send us a text

Welcome to the 55th episode of the Remember My Name Podcast! This is the last of a three-part episode where I interview former Army Ranger Micah Faustin. For this episode, Micah talks about getting out of the military and how he coped with the loss of not only 3 teammates but his own brother and the emotion pain of what to do next.

He hiked the Appalachian Trail, which helped bring things into perspective and met someone in Tennessee who changed his life.
Now, he runs a consulting business where he trains people, churches, schools and law enforcement agencies in situational awareness, tactics, gun safety and many other areas.

Come join me in this final episode where Micah shares from his heart some of his struggles and how he found redemption, faith and purpose in his post-military life. I hope that his testimony can help others who have gone through similar situations.
