EPISODE 022: In this gripping episode of Locked and Loaded Faith, I guide listeners through the incredible life of Sean Stoddard — a humble husband, father of five, U.S. Army Reserve Command Sergeant Major, former City of Mesa Police Department police officer, and founder of the nonprofit The Archangels. What begins as a portrait of service quickly becomes a high-stakes story of survival: a routine traffic stop, a split-second decision, and a car traveling 80 mph that leaves Sean in a coma and wipes his memory clean. Follow Sean from the battlefield to the bedside — from deployments in Iraq and missions to build bridges with communities overseas, to the intimate, raw moments of awakening blind and unfamiliar with his own family. The episode reads like a novel of redemption: friends and family planting seeds of faith, intense rehabilitation and unconventional therapies, the mysterious ways God’s protection appears in small mercies, and the tension of military boards and titles that test identity and purpose. Through candid conversation, Sean reveals how faith became the compass when everything else was erased. He shares the daily disciplines that anchor him — prayer, humility, repentance, and the call to serve — and how those practices reshaped brokenness into mission. Along the way, you’ll hear poignant scenes: a wife reintroducing herself, battle buddies showing up at hospitals, the symbolism stitched into a challenge coin, and a family rallying to turn a house into a home again. This is not a story about perfection, but about a man who chooses to strive — one degree at a time — toward wholeness. It’s about the interplay of providence and persistence, of community and courage, and of a faith that meets the furnace but refuses to be defined by it. Lock in for an intimate, hope-filled episode that will leave you encouraged, convicted, and ready to carry the light of resilience into your own life.
