In this episode, I sit down with John West—a lifetime truth seeker with a powerful story to share. John’s journey has taken him from serving as an EMT and firefighter to his current role as a police officer and trauma medicine instructor. Along the way, he has dedicated himself to training in Jiu-Jitsu, teaching mindset, and guiding others through the challenges of both life and high-stakes professions.
But John’s story goes deeper than career experience. Growing up in a polygamist community, he spent his early years searching for truth and purpose. That search ultimately led him to a life-changing encounter where he met the Savior face to face. In this conversation, John opens up about faith, resilience, and the lessons learned from walking through hardship in pursuit of God.
If you’re interested in personal transformation, the intersection of faith and service, or the strength it takes to live a life of integrity, you won’t want to miss this episode.
