PART 2 Navy SEAL David Parker: Courage, Conviction, and the Cost of Truth

Courage isn’t charging into gunfire. It’s being willing to lose everything for what’s right. In the season 2 finale of the Built on Truth Podcast, Brett Wheeless continues his conversation with retired Navy SEAL David Parker, diving deep into courage, leadership failure, betrayal, conviction, war, faith, and the cost of standing alone. David shares: What real courage looks like under fire Why men fear confronting leadership more than death The psychological cost of betrayal by your own people How conviction is forged through sacrifice Why purpose must be greater than fear How suffering without meaning destroys men This episode isn’t comfortable. It’s honest. Built on Truth is a podcast about faith, strength, masculinity, leadership, and living with conviction in a world that punishes it.
