Dr. Chase Spears sits down with Brendan Regan, a former U.S. Army Intelligence Officer, to unpack his bold stand against the Army’s unlawful COVID vaccine mandate at Fort Leavenworth in 2021. Regan shares his grueling administrative battle under harsh leadership, his ultimate victory, and his decision to exit the military on his own terms in 2024. Brendan reflects on how faith and conviction guided his path through persecution to purpose. From Fort Leavenworth’s “COVID fury” to building a new career in Augusta, Georgia, Regan’s story inspires principled resilience. This episode challenges listeners to hold fast to truth, drawing on Proverbs 25:26 to reject compromise. A powerful call to live boldly for Christ.
