Shay Mattera went from working undercover in Washington, D.C. law enforcement to serving in U.S. Army Special Forces as a Green Beret.
In this episode of the Peace, Power, & Purpose Podcast, Shay talks about the reality of undercover police work, Army service, Special Forces, PTSD, identity, leadership, faith, and the psychological weight that can follow men long after the mission ends.
He also shares the story of fighting to deploy with the Army while his police leadership wanted to keep him home because of his value to the department.
But this conversation goes far beyond the uniform.
Shay opens up about purpose, mental health, the battles men carry privately, and his journey toward Jesus Christ.
The Peace, Power, & Purpose Podcast exists to raise awareness for men’s mental health and share stories of transformation, redemption, faith, and purpose.
