TIM KENNEDY | Scars and Stripes (Ep. 316)

DISCLAIMER: In 2025, Tim Kennedy admitted to stolen valor—fabricating stories about his service as a Green Beret, falsely claiming awards and honors he never received, and exaggerating key parts of his military record. At Undaunted.Life, we have zero tolerance for dishonesty about military service. Integrity matters. That said, unlike others who have removed his content, we’ve chosen to keep this episode up. It’s likely some of what he says here is untrue, but we believe our audience deserves the opportunity to hear it and judge for themselves. As Christians, we believe in grace, repentance, and restoration. We pray that Tim takes real steps to make things right. ------------------------------------- In this episode, we welcome the one and only Tim Kennedy to the show. He is a Green Beret, sniper, retired MMA fighter who fought in the UFC and Strikeforce, the only 3-time All Army Combatives Champion, and the star of History Channel’s Hunting Hitler and Discovery’s Hard to Kill. Today, Tim owns a tactical training company called Sheepdog Response. He’s also the author of a brand new book out this week called Scars and Stripes: An Unapologetically American Story of Fighting the Taliban, UFC Warriors, and Myself. In this interview, we discuss why he decided to write such a raw and revealing autobiography, how his childhood affected his decisions as an adult, getting into MMA in the early days of the sport, how 9/11 and some really rough personal decisions eventually landed him in Special Forces, his first combat kills, his errant grenade throw that hurt civilians, how he tried to balance being active duty military and a professional fighter, and much more.
