I'm excited too Shawn. Love this guy. Both of you are needed in our modern day. Either to keep ...... from happening or to help handle it when it does.
I think a good way to stop school shootings is to employ Veterans as security at the schools. Employ them as state security and give them a thorough psych evaluation. This helps stop mass shootings and gets good veterans off the street. You don’t have to spend a ton of money training a veteran because they learned most of it in the military opposed to training teachers on tactics/shooting. This will also help the veteran (in my own opinion) suicide rate go down as well due to a sense of purpose protecting the children of the country. Let me know what you think Shawn, I know it’s not all ironed out but this is like the main points. @ShawnRyanShowOfficial
@tommycloughlin Pole shifts happen…they always have. The chance of that taking everyone out is smaller than minute…. That being said, John & Shawn would definitely come online and assault a pole shift to save all of mankind…. If they only knew it was coming…
Good afternoon Shawn I really enjoyed your show it's outstanding however I want to bring to attention that I was just scammed by someone using you're profile saying I won a gift 🎁 a alien pistol whoever it is is definitely using you're profile I reported them immediately to you tube
I’m a retired 160th flight medic and currently work for a school district in CO as an armed security guard. We are well paid and taken care of and the district I work for takes school security seriously. Just know, there are school districts out there that take protecting children seriously.
What school district are you in? I’m stuck living in Denver and curious what district ur in that handles it properly. I assume somewhere north or south of Denver…
That’s the kinda guy I want watching my kids if I ever had any. Idk why we can put more vets to work this way to scare the living piss outta kids who think they can be assholes. The same men can teach them to be men and not cowards in the off hours as long as they’re paid for it.
John is one of the nicest and most sincere guys I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet! His channel is the reason I started mine. Really enjoyed this interview!
I like how he almost always says before an episode God bless America those words fucking prohibited now days and it really sad people just take our country and our rights fir granted
A nephew was a Ranger 2003 through 2015. He did 4 tours and then trained. The PTSD was so bad they basically made him retire. Such a good guy and family man. Seems like he was just spit out of the system. His wife fights for his mental and physical care. We owe so much to you all who serve.
There are patriots like them all around you. Some are being vilified, some are in or getting into politics, some are quiet and giving in other ways, and there are others on youtube as well. The real issue with national security is at the top, because there are states and counties within states that are doing all they can, but it is an uphill battle when the Fed is suing them and telling them to cease and desist. Notice how the border patrol has been relegated to administration instead of arrest, detain, return.
God gave you his armor John. It's very heavy while you're getting fitted but light and impenetrable after received. The Lord knew you were going to need it! God bless you and Shawn!

I think seals should integrate into basic infantry training. There were holes in comms when it hit the fan they have to blend into big unit tactics. AFSOC and NWS didn't have training to do so. For example,Marines all have an infantry background. Theycan blend with any army unit bc the training is the same. It happened a lot in GWOT.
My TX high school had a full time police officer, SRO. Maybe 600 students and he KNEW EVERY ONE. Great officer everyone loved. 20+ yrs later and he’s still there. Knows half the city from childhood. Rare these days
As a window Tinter by profession, I have to mention that installing a security film is a great way to make it much much harder to get into a building. The stuff truly works. That's definitely one of many steps we could take to protect our kids.
Great show as always. Two things: 1. I'm former civ and mil cop and would gladly protect my hometown schools for 15 an hr. 2. Racing is a great thing to get kids into. If the racing bug bites,they will never have money for booze, dope, and dumb shit. Been doing it since I was 16, I'm 58 now and still broke!
My son is a Ranger and flew through until the Swamp phase in Florida and got a no go and had to recycle that section again. That just about killed him. Very proud of him getting his tab. I was in back in the 80’s but never went to Ranger School. Spent most of my time in West Germany.
Ranger school and the Ranger regiment are two different things. Ranger school doesn’t make you a Ranger, it’s just an Army leadership course that gives you the tab. Ranger regiment is the special operations unit that’s being talked about here
I know what the difference is. Any soldier that gets through Ranger School earns my respect. I did some difficult things when I was in but nothing compared to that.
@@brucelambert599 Of course you know difference. He was being pedantic.

I was just an 11B Mech nobody - my nephew Max pretty much joined the Army because of me and he's a hard charger. 12B, got his E5 at 20 yrs old, top 3 grads at E-EOCA, getting ready for Sapper School. I always encourage him to read Lessons Learned and to keep as old school black boot Army as he can but truthfully he's way more motivated than I ever was all on his own. Thanks to all of y'all for your service!
Jesus saved me in 2002 while I was still in the Army. I also was doing bible studies and preaching the gospel without really knowing much. It was so amazing to hear John’s testimony. Grace and Peace brother.
John’s been such an awesome guiding light in my life. I came across him when the channel was way smaller. His messaging of Godly men needing to be both lovers and warriors really caught me. The church I was raised in was more like “conceal carry means you dont trust God!” John (and Paul) has helped me be a more complete man and husband and father… and warrior!

Yes! I’ve been praying they’d find each other and Shawn would do an episode with him! It’s going to be amazing! Me & my husband love both these guys. & John’s wife is such a great role model for ladies! She’s a powerhouse. Hope to see her on the show one day.
@@retingo7940weird to pray that a Christian message be amplified on a show that reaches men searching for meaning / truth? Weird to pray that two warriors publicly discuss living a principled life in an era plagued by moral relativism? Not that weird.
November 26, 2020. I know exactly what you were feeling John. Just a normal day for me. No thanksgiving celebration. No family to be around. I was driving in my truck to the woods for an upcoming elk hunt and in the car my heart changed.
I've been a huge fan of John for a long time. I started watching him back in 2019 and he always seemed like a good dude. Really honest, down to earth, great sense of humor, and I love what he does for empowering young men. Hats off to him.
Hearing John's description of being filled with the Holy Spirit over the course of a few days brought tears to my eyes. What an incredible testimony. John is so likeable and charismatic it's impossible not to be captivated by him and his story.
Im fighting for disability because of a drunk driver. Shawns show helps me get thru the days. The guest he steadily has on are amazing as well. Thank you for doing what you do and god bless every soldier you have had on and all the ones still fighting
I understand that feeling you had when your heart was changed. To me it was like everything I’d heard growing up in churches finally clicked. I understood what I was, and it broke me at my core. Thanks be to God who not only forgives, but also rebuilds us from the ground up.
Shawn Ryan show, Garand thumb, warrior poet society, GBRS, fieldcraft survival/ mikegloveractual, administrative results, dirty civilian, Trex arms all carrying the team we need a huge colab as a community
Shawn, good stuff brother! I am not an Operator by any means, but I am a Veteran, a Fed and a Patriot and I love your content. God bless you and your guests. Thanks for your service and for doing what you do.🇺🇸
I want to see Colion Noir on this show. That would be an amazing conversation. Plus, I think we may get a little deeper in to Mr. Noirs back story. That said. Been waiting for this one too! I watch all War Poet's videos. Heck, I even own one of "his" guns.
It’s hard to imagine John Lovell as a teenage wild child doing drugs & getting into trouble. As hard as it was for him to get shipped off to boarding school, it likely saved his life and his future. Really interesting story about how Jesus remade John. That’s my favorite part, so far. I hope there will be much more conversation about leadership and John’s approach to leadership, in parts 2 & 3. Shawn is an outstanding interviewer.
One episode at a time regaining the trust of the American people thank you all for your service , and I highly suggest if someone does not have the time to watch each episode at it's full length , watch the shorts and all that's been revealed to the public so far truly appreciated and you gained my respect . Our military is 100% in control lies being exposed.
This was a really great interview. I've been following him for almost 4 years now and I've never realized how much he doesn't like to talk about his childhood, formative years, etc. It's a testament as to why SRS is where it's at. Pulling teeth kinda feels like an understatement. 😂 I was hoping you'd get him on since #001 w/ Glover but I think it's a blessing that it's just happening now. I've been struggling w/ my faith for 11 years, dark years now. You don't have to have a strong relationship Jesus to clearly see that his faith isn't merely a branch of the things that make him, him. It's foundational. They can't be separated. You having just started to reconnect with your faith in past months is what popped in my head when I saw the notification for this episode. Again, REALLY great job with this one and I can't wait for part 2 to drop!
Also I cant emphasize enough just how therapeutic Shawn's process is - taking the time to ask guys to go through these incredibly formative experiences unpacks events that shape the heart and character development of some of the greatest men of our time. Invaluable to both the one sharing and the listeners
Been listening to john for a long time now, he's one of the rare ones where his positivity is through the roof, yet it's infectious. Just a cool dude all around.
I’m still waiting for a USAF CCT or PJ to come on. Hopefully a PJ that was on the rescue mission for PFC Jessica Lynch in April of ‘03. In any case, I’m excited for this interview
Been waiting for this for a LOOOONG time!!!! John is one of the best voices on RUclips. Smart, wise, dangerous. That’s what every man should strive to be.
When I first heard John Lovell is going on the SRS, I literally cheered out loud 😂 Love that guy and what he stands for. Warrior Poet Society helped change my life.
I was into karting in my youth. What many don't realize is that kids learn a lot about problem solving skills when they get into driving in general. Whether it's a backyard 2-seater or actual racing karts. Kids learn how to navigate risk assessments, too. Looking back, the fun and going fast was just a bonus.
Had me in full blown tears when John found Jesus .... unbelievably description how he found salvation!!! What a great training John gave with absolutely clarity!!! Thank you so much for this interview.... I have no idea how Shawn conducted this interview without complete breakdown over this story. GOD BLESS EVERYONE WATCHING THIS SHOW!!!
John just seems like he’d be an absolutely wonderful person to get into a good long conversation with. He seems like a genuine good guy. Love this interview. Loading up the next part now.
My freshman year of high school I weighed 125 and sucked down to 103 to wrestle varsity. I feel your pain. Becoming a Marine and knowing the and feeling the pain made me pass every school I went to. That wrestling story hit home with me. Massachusetts wrestling was hard core in the 90's. I've been waiting to see John on here great job Shawn .
My sophomore year I went from 125 to 98. It is still one of the dumbest things I've ever done; though, it did make me mentally strong. After that, I was in really good shape, eating clean, and then wrestled whatever weight class was closest. 3rd my junior year (losing in the State semis to a 3-timer) and being undefeated my senior year. After wrestling, everything else in life is easier. Yes indeed; Jesus does save, the vilest of sinners (me)!!!
So true. Stupid at the time lol although it made me a better person and being mentally tough and being able to push thru things like sleep and food deprivation that others around me couldn't hack lol. I was state champ my senior year. Both my boys wrestle my became a Devil Dog like me lol. My youngest will be following that route as well. @@drdotter
I wish I could like this episode 1000 times - John's testimony of conversion is so glorifying to God, it's bringing me to tears. I remember 30th AG, Infantry school, Airborne school - seeing it through eyes that can see the grace of God is debilitatingly moving. Praise God!
Seeing John on your podcast kind of feels like seeing your bestfriend become a celebrity. I dont know why, never meet the guy. I guess it just speaks to how virtuous John is and how fortunate I feel to have him on our side. You are both special gems in my eyes, I pray you both fulfill whatever God has intrusted you to do.
As a almost 40 year old man now. I grew up with a alcoholic mom n a workaholic dad. Hanger Mondays we called them we got beat to a pulp. N it started becoming daily. But I wouldn't trade it for anything it made me who I am today. N I love my son n try to give him what I didn't have. It installed morals n respect into me. Respect is my main point in life. N I love them now. My parents n kids are the reason I live for today! I can relate.
We do know what you mean. John Lovell doesn't delve into his background much at all and what I've heard is talked about very sparingly. It's actually refreshing and his emphasis is very much on his faith and what he's doing now which is awesome and inspiring. He's a great Christian role model and still very young and vibrant. Role models don't always have to be older than us. There are a lot of young Vets out there who have a ton to offer in life experience.
I love John’s narrative regarding his calling to follow God. I’m always interested to hear each persons point of realization that we are all here to learn in our own way. Thanks for telling your story, John. Thanks Shawn for your open mindedness. Follow your own path to truth.
edit: I realize now that I got onto this video so fast I managed to watch it before it was set to premier in two days. John has been extremely inspiring to me for some time now. I grew up without a father and although I'm not religious and fail to understand John's focus on religion, he has solidified my view on what kind of man I want to be (provider, protector, family man). I am really thankful that there are men like him who can show young men like me what really matters in life. Listening to this interview has allowed me to draw some parallels between John and me in regards to how he wanted to join the military and ended up doing it. It has sort of given me a boost of confidence that I can follow my dream and do what I want, even though our situations are very different. Ill be 23 this year, finishing my last year of college, and all I can think of every day is how much I want to be a part of US special operation. Sadly for me, I'm halfway across the world with no ties to the US, and to top it off I am in the worst shape of my life as I start to enter early obesity. My family thought that I was joking when I told them that I want to move to the US and enlist in the army. I should be focused on finishing my studies, yet, but again, all I can think of is how do I move to the US.
@motiv8d111 Hilariously, that same dude after a hard night of paying college tuitions outside of Benning, had the police arrive outside. Due to us being a little rowdy our 1st week back in town. His exact words to them when they said step over here and put your hands on the wall were "Were gonna run to the woodline...and you won't catch us." To which the cop replied with a pleading voice..."dont?" They didn't catch us haha.
Wish I knew how to contact you guys... Have a guy you should interview. He's an author that writes books about a potential cataclysmic Poleshift soon... It's deep.. IF ANYONE WOULD BE INTO THAT PLEASE LIKE THIS.. MAYBE SHAWN WILL SEE IT! By the way, the guy's name is David Montaigne.
Thank you thank you thank you Shawn. This is one I have been waiting for this. Have been an avid watcher and subbed to both you guys for a long time. Still is still amazing to me how some of the most violent men tactical men seem to be the brightest and grounded we have. God bless the both of you and thank you to no end.✌🏼❤️💯🇺🇸... side note " the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun " nuff said.
Shawn, watching this interview first thought is how incredible it is to see how you have changed over the years in these interviews. You are so much more present and aware of everything. The questions you ask are more insightful, and how you guide the interview is so great to watch. Incredible to see your growth. Keep up the hard work, the fruit of it is obvious.
John is so incredibly real and raw in this interview and kudos to Shawn for taking his time with this very in depth examination of John's thought process and coming of age transition into elder statesman 💪💪💪
So glad you had John on the show! I shared this podcast with my wife and 13yr son. Explained that Christ the example I look to, and I suck, but John is the modern man that I see that has the right formula on how to pursue Jesus, a greater purpose, and how to be a husband and father. Awesome episode!
Found John before I found this pod cast years ago. So happy to see my two favorite brother's from the brotherhood together. Keep it up Shawn. Semper Fi
BIG LOVE for brother John Lovell! NEXT,,, PLEASE bring on former DEVGRU SEAL Team 6 sniper Craig “Sawman” Sawyer, about his organization Vets 4 Child Rescue V4CR. Please & Thank You
I’ve never seen John so unwilling to share something. He danced around his childhood like a master politician. He seems ashamed, I think if he talked about it, it might set him free
Tom, then John - incredible content lately Shawn! The contrast between the Hollywood “stars” or athletes people look up to and these guys is night and day. These are guys to emulate true character. REAL masculinity!
What a surprise to John on here this morning. I know people have been wanting to see him on the show for quite a while so this should be a nice treat. Looking forward to a longer format interview to get a fuller picture of his story.
Man. My dad loved listening to both of you guys, just like me. He even has a quick appearance in one of John’s videos from a class he held in Vegas. He would’ve been so stoked about this interview.
Seems to be plenty of Veterans who need work after they're discharged, why not have them work Security and patrol schools?! Who better would be qualified to protect children!!! Would also help inspire many people to join the service
A lot of us want to pursue other things in life after separation from active duty. School, different careers and such. I'm sure there's some out there who want to work in security, but I Believe the most of us want to pursue other things in life.

Yes! I’ve been praying they’d find each other and Shawn would do an episode with him! It’s going to be amazing! Me & my husband love both these guys. & John’s wife is such a great role model for ladies! She’s a powerhouse. Hope to see her on the show one day.
thats such a weird thing to pray about
@@retingo7940weird to pray that a Christian message be amplified on a show that reaches men searching for meaning / truth? Weird to pray that two warriors publicly discuss living a principled life in an era plagued by moral relativism? Not that weird.
@@user-om2rd5rx7w yeah I just think there are much more helpful things to pray about
November 26, 2020. I know exactly what you were feeling John. Just a normal day for me. No thanksgiving celebration. No family to be around. I was driving in my truck to the woods for an upcoming elk hunt and in the car my heart changed.
I’ve been impatiently waiting for this interview ever since Shawn started. I admire both of these men.
You’ll enjoy this one!
@@ShawnRyanShow I guarantee it! God bless to you all!
Same
I've been a huge fan of John for a long time. I started watching him back in 2019 and he always seemed like a good dude. Really honest, down to earth, great sense of humor, and I love what he does for empowering young men. Hats off to him.
Thank you for your honesty John and Thank you for your service🇺🇲
Hearing John's description of being filled with the Holy Spirit over the course of a few days brought tears to my eyes. What an incredible testimony. John is so likeable and charismatic it's impossible not to be captivated by him and his story.
SHAWN PLEASE GET A PJ ON!! Bob Roberts 24th STS. Saved Marcus Capone in Germany. Had an action figure made after him. Let’s get some tier 1 PJs on
Shawn is getting really good at these interviews and defining a timeline, even if the subject gets off task
Oh man - you two together - this should be epic!!
☝️🏼
Im fighting for disability because of a drunk driver. Shawns show helps me get thru the days. The guest he steadily has on are amazing as well. Thank you for doing what you do and god bless every soldier you have had on and all the ones still fighting
4 part episode!!!! I’m trying to run two businesses and a family here! Now I have to clear my schedule next week! 😂
Haha 😂😂😂😂
Yeah its a shame, long form SRS was genuinely the best thing on YT
I play SR’s long interviews on Spotify when I’m working in the office and while driving. But I hear ya! 😂
Man...I was wondering why it was only an hour...not sure what's worse lol
I understand that feeling you had when your heart was changed.
To me it was like everything I’d heard growing up in churches finally clicked. I understood what I was, and it broke me at my core. Thanks be to God who not only forgives, but also rebuilds us from the ground up.
Shawn Ryan show, Garand thumb, warrior poet society, GBRS, fieldcraft survival/ mikegloveractual, administrative results, dirty civilian, Trex arms all carrying the team we need a huge colab as a community
The grey bearded green beret
Glover is a bit much lol
@@landonwoods2408 how?
I'd love to see Lucas and Garand Thumb on here
Garand Thumb would be an awesome guest
Shawn, good stuff brother! I am not an Operator by any means, but I am a Veteran, a Fed and a Patriot and I love your content. God bless you and your guests. Thanks for your service and for doing what you do.🇺🇸
Yes! Shawn Ryan and John Lovell!! Big fan of both of you guys. Keep up the great work Shawn!
Thank you!
Whoa!!! Johns story about his conversion is incredible.
I want to see Colion Noir on this show. That would be an amazing conversation. Plus, I think we may get a little deeper in to Mr. Noirs back story.
That said. Been waiting for this one too! I watch all War Poet's videos. Heck, I even own one of "his" guns.
Oh yeah I would love to see that as well!
It’s hard to imagine John Lovell as a teenage wild child doing drugs & getting into trouble. As hard as it was for him to get shipped off to boarding school, it likely saved his life and his future.
Really interesting story about how Jesus remade John. That’s my favorite part, so far.
I hope there will be much more conversation about leadership and John’s approach to leadership, in parts 2 & 3.
Shawn is an outstanding interviewer.
Ryan’s introduction of John made me want to stand and applaud. Although I was in the car going down the highway, that did not make me stop. 😉
One episode at a time regaining the trust of the American people thank you all for your service , and I highly suggest if someone does not have the time to watch each episode at it's full length , watch the shorts and all that's been revealed to the public so far truly appreciated and you gained my respect . Our military is 100% in control lies being exposed.
This was a really great interview. I've been following him for almost 4 years now and I've never realized how much he doesn't like to talk about his childhood, formative years, etc. It's a testament as to why SRS is where it's at. Pulling teeth kinda feels like an understatement. 😂 I was hoping you'd get him on since #001 w/ Glover but I think it's a blessing that it's just happening now. I've been struggling w/ my faith for 11 years, dark years now. You don't have to have a strong relationship Jesus to clearly see that his faith isn't merely a branch of the things that make him, him. It's foundational. They can't be separated. You having just started to reconnect with your faith in past months is what popped in my head when I saw the notification for this episode.
Again, REALLY great job with this one and I can't wait for part 2 to drop!
Also I cant emphasize enough just how therapeutic Shawn's process is - taking the time to ask guys to go through these incredibly formative experiences unpacks events that shape the heart and character development of some of the greatest men of our time. Invaluable to both the one sharing and the listeners
Shawn Ryan the patriot ❤ thank you for all your service to this country
Been listening to john for a long time now, he's one of the rare ones where his positivity is through the roof, yet it's infectious. Just a cool dude all around.
I’m still waiting for a USAF CCT or PJ to come on. Hopefully a PJ that was on the rescue mission for PFC Jessica Lynch in April of ‘03. In any case, I’m excited for this interview
Very pumped to see John getting an interview here! His testimony about his conversion I found fascinating, and inspiring. A real blessing!!
Man I love John! He's a solid role model and even inspires me to be a better man, husband, and father.
Been waiting for this for a LOOOONG time!!!! John is one of the best voices on RUclips. Smart, wise, dangerous. That’s what every man should strive to be.
When I first heard John Lovell is going on the SRS, I literally cheered out loud 😂 Love that guy and what he stands for. Warrior Poet Society helped change my life.
I was into karting in my youth. What many don't realize is that kids learn a lot about problem solving skills when they get into driving in general. Whether it's a backyard 2-seater or actual racing karts. Kids learn how to navigate risk assessments, too. Looking back, the fun and going fast was just a bonus.
Had me in full blown tears when John found Jesus .... unbelievably description how he found salvation!!! What a great training John gave with absolutely clarity!!! Thank you so much for this interview.... I have no idea how Shawn conducted this interview without complete breakdown over this story.
GOD BLESS EVERYONE WATCHING THIS SHOW!!!
Love how Shawn pushes for the detail and structure of the different pipelines guys go through
What a joy to hear my brother tell of his Rebirth & how The Lord sought him out. Glorious!
John just seems like he’d be an absolutely wonderful person to get into a good long conversation with. He seems like a genuine good guy. Love this interview. Loading up the next part now.
My freshman year of high school I weighed 125 and sucked down to 103 to wrestle varsity. I feel your pain. Becoming a Marine and knowing the and feeling the pain made me pass every school I went to. That wrestling story hit home with me. Massachusetts wrestling was hard core in the 90's. I've been waiting to see John on here great job Shawn .
Doesnt allow me to do anything@ClicK..on_the_profile__
Yup. Wrestling practices got me ready for military PT and other schools.
Jesus is Lord
Jesus Saves!
@@bradleygonzalez1160 amen
My sophomore year I went from 125 to 98.
It is still one of the dumbest things I've ever done; though, it did make me mentally strong.
After that, I was in really good shape, eating clean, and then wrestled whatever weight class was closest.
3rd my junior year (losing in the State semis to a 3-timer) and being undefeated my senior year.
After wrestling, everything else in life is easier.
Yes indeed; Jesus does save, the vilest of sinners (me)!!!
So true. Stupid at the time lol although it made me a better person and being mentally tough and being able to push thru things like sleep and food deprivation that others around me couldn't hack lol. I was state champ my senior year. Both my boys wrestle my became a Devil Dog like me lol. My youngest will be following that route as well. @@drdotter
I wish I could like this episode 1000 times - John's testimony of conversion is so glorifying to God, it's bringing me to tears. I remember 30th AG, Infantry school, Airborne school - seeing it through eyes that can see the grace of God is debilitatingly moving. Praise God!
Definitely my favorite interview yet!! Lovell has a huge following, with the intelligence, training & wisdom to lead the way.
John is so articulate and very well spoken, iv been watching his videos for years and been hoping he would come on SRS
Really looking forward to this interview it’s about time!
It's about to be go time. 4 hours out!
Thankyou BOTH,..so looking forward to this! The humor between the both of you should be awesome!
Haha 😂
So excited for this one. John is a stand up dude all around. God bless you guys and your families.
Amen
Jesus is Lord
Jesus Saves!
Shawn Ryan, you're hitting it outta the park, man! Thank you❤
Seeing John on your podcast kind of feels like seeing your bestfriend become a celebrity. I dont know why, never meet the guy. I guess it just speaks to how virtuous John is and how fortunate I feel to have him on our side. You are both special gems in my eyes, I pray you both fulfill whatever God has intrusted you to do.
As a almost 40 year old man now. I grew up with a alcoholic mom n a workaholic dad. Hanger Mondays we called them we got beat to a pulp. N it started becoming daily. But I wouldn't trade it for anything it made me who I am today. N I love my son n try to give him what I didn't have. It installed morals n respect into me. Respect is my main point in life. N I love them now. My parents n kids are the reason I live for today! I can relate.
Thank you for all your support! We have had a lot of people want to see Mr. Lovell on the show!
@kwilliams454 thank you and Shawn and Sonny for taking us along on your journey.
We do know what you mean. John Lovell doesn't delve into his background much at all and what I've heard is talked about very sparingly. It's actually refreshing and his emphasis is very much on his faith and what he's doing now which is awesome and inspiring. He's a great Christian role model and still very young and vibrant. Role models don't always have to be older than us. There are a lot of young Vets out there who have a ton to offer in life experience.
Shawn Ryan Show better then anything on TV period!!
I love John’s narrative regarding his calling to follow God. I’m always interested to hear each persons point of realization that we are all here to learn in our own way. Thanks for telling your story, John. Thanks Shawn for your open mindedness. Follow your own path to truth.
edit: I realize now that I got onto this video so fast I managed to watch it before it was set to premier in two days.
John has been extremely inspiring to me for some time now. I grew up without a father and although I'm not religious and fail to understand John's focus on religion, he has solidified my view on what kind of man I want to be (provider, protector, family man). I am really thankful that there are men like him who can show young men like me what really matters in life.
Listening to this interview has allowed me to draw some parallels between John and me in regards to how he wanted to join the military and ended up doing it. It has sort of given me a boost of confidence that I can follow my dream and do what I want, even though our situations are very different.
Ill be 23 this year, finishing my last year of college, and all I can think of every day is how much I want to be a part of US special operation. Sadly for me, I'm halfway across the world with no ties to the US, and to top it off I am in the worst shape of my life as I start to enter early obesity. My family thought that I was joking when I told them that I want to move to the US and enlist in the army. I should be focused on finishing my studies, yet, but again, all I can think of is how do I move to the US.
I was one of his RIP instructors. He left out the fun had at cole range. 😁
That's awesome haha. I remember one of mine ran with arms straight down at his sides, making fists. Fucker could run forever haha.
@@dreamisolympia88 Calestinics. The mother of all fitness; the true test of men. Hit the woodline!
@motiv8d111 Hilariously, that same dude after a hard night of paying college tuitions outside of Benning, had the police arrive outside. Due to us being a little rowdy our 1st week back in town. His exact words to them when they said step over here and put your hands on the wall were "Were gonna run to the woodline...and you won't catch us." To which the cop replied with a pleading voice..."dont?" They didn't catch us haha.
@dreamisolympia88 🤣 Al whos? Chickasaw? Red Riders?
@dreamisolympia88 now you Know why we trained you guys the way we did 😁
Wish I knew how to contact you guys... Have a guy you should interview. He's an author that writes books about a potential cataclysmic Poleshift soon... It's deep.. IF ANYONE WOULD BE INTO THAT PLEASE LIKE THIS.. MAYBE SHAWN WILL SEE IT! By the way, the guy's name is David Montaigne.
We do have a way. For guest suggestions please visit this link: www.shawnryanshow.com/suggestions
Excellent 👌 I appreciate it more than you know!
This is the true multiverse 😀 Shawn Ryan + Warrior poet
It's all bullshit
@@stewybrooks meh maybe maybe not. Interesting nonetheless, no?
Keep it up Shawn. The vet voice is critical to our progress.
Thank you thank you thank you Shawn. This is one I have been waiting for this. Have been an avid watcher and subbed to both you guys for a long time. Still is still amazing to me how some of the most violent men tactical men seem to be the brightest and grounded we have. God bless the both of you and thank you to no end.✌🏼❤️💯🇺🇸... side note " the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun " nuff said.
Shawn, watching this interview first thought is how incredible it is to see how you have changed over the years in these interviews. You are so much more present and aware of everything. The questions you ask are more insightful, and how you guide the interview is so great to watch. Incredible to see your growth. Keep up the hard work, the fruit of it is obvious.
20k views in an hour pretty impressive. Excited for all the parts of this pod.
I was in 1/75 from 96' to 99' RS 3-98...You guys definitely brought me back to day 1 in Battalion... I thought I was in Prison 😅... Good times. RLTW
I felt that weight cutting story in my soul. I've done 17 lbs in 3 days before, and it was awful.
John is so incredibly real and raw in this interview and kudos to Shawn for taking his time with this very in depth examination of John's thought process and coming of age transition into elder statesman 💪💪💪
Love you guys and praise the Lord you can have another brother in Christ join your podcast!
So glad you had John on the show! I shared this podcast with my wife and 13yr son. Explained that Christ the example I look to, and I suck, but John is the modern man that I see that has the right formula on how to pursue Jesus, a greater purpose, and how to be a husband and father. Awesome episode!
Found John before I found this pod cast years ago. So happy to see my two favorite brother's from the brotherhood together. Keep it up Shawn. Semper Fi
BIG LOVE for brother John Lovell! NEXT,,, PLEASE bring on former DEVGRU SEAL Team 6 sniper Craig “Sawman” Sawyer, about his organization Vets 4 Child Rescue V4CR.
Please & Thank You
That trailer had me thinking it was the full episode why not release it bro it’s the weekend😂😂🇺🇸🫡
Same I was pumped then realized it was the trailer lol
me too wtf I'm sick of ROGAN
I thought I was the only one 😅
Whaaa. Whaaa
Whaaa. Get over it.
@@doodahman2995 dang man don’t take it so personal 😂 just a light hearted comment. Excited for a good one!
I’ve never seen John so unwilling to share something. He danced around his childhood like a master politician. He seems ashamed, I think if he talked about it, it might set him free
He didn't really answer any of those questions from childhood to ranger school. Everything in-between is just waffling.
Weird
Chris Vansant punching the air after Shawn said that John was the first ranger he had on
Tom, then John - incredible content lately Shawn! The contrast between the Hollywood “stars” or athletes people look up to and these guys is night and day. These are guys to emulate true character. REAL masculinity!
My Dad joke contribution..... Do you know before crowbars were invented they just drank at home.

Oh yea!!! Warrior Poet about to go down!!!
That was a thorough breakdown of how the Rangers work.
What a surprise to John on here this morning. I know people have been wanting to see him on the show for quite a while so this should be a nice treat. Looking forward to a longer format interview to get a fuller picture of his story.
John Lovell is phenomenal.. he literally can be the voice for freedom, conservative Christian morals.
Only shitty part, is that it's multiple parts. This would be an epic journey all in one sitting.
Man. My dad loved listening to both of you guys, just like me. He even has a quick appearance in one of John’s videos from a class he held in Vegas. He would’ve been so stoked about this interview.
This is like loving Chocolate and Peanut butter, and someone dangling a Reeses in your face..
Hahaha 😂 best comment yet.
I agree with you both 😂😂😂😂
I respect you a lot Sean most of this RUclips stuff is garbage but at least you bring the viewers authentic material
Much respect for both of these guys. Thanks for sharing. The eyes of those who have been there and done that don't lie.
Seems to be plenty of Veterans who need work after they're discharged, why not have them work Security and patrol schools?! Who better would be qualified to protect children!!! Would also help inspire many people to join the service
A lot of us want to pursue other things in life after separation from active duty. School, different careers and such. I'm sure there's some out there who want to work in security, but I Believe the most of us want to pursue other things in life.
I've been following John for a few years now. This interview truly makes me have even more respect for him, its amazing to hear about his conversion.
