In this episode, we sit down with Mike Brown, a retired member of the United States Air Force whose life of service didn’t stop when he took off the uniform. From years spent serving his country to now serving communities through mission trips with his church, his story is one of faith, grit, and purpose. We talk about the transition from military life to civilian life, the lessons the Air Force instilled in him, and how those same principles now guide his work on mission trips around the world. He shares powerful stories from his time in uniform and on the mission ground—and how serving others continues to shape his calling. Outside of service and ministry, he’s an avid hunter and fisherman, finding peace and in the outdoors. We dive into how time in the woods and on the water mirrors the patience, and faith he’s developed over a lifetime. This episode is about legacy, leadership, and living a life of purpose long after the job title changes. Whether you’re military, faith-driven, an outdoorsman, or simply someone looking for inspiration, you won’t want to miss this conversation.
