Navy SEAL Ultrarunner Chadd Wright | Mike Ritland Podcast Episode 101 

I love how Chad is so bold with his testimony and faith in Jesus Christ.

Seeking out a civilian doctor to perform surgery on a rare condition just to attend BUDS training...that's a very high level of dedication.

The compliment given at the start about the quality of the questions is well earned. I've been listening since 2019 and still haven't found a better interviewer in any of the other stuff I watch/listen to.

Such a blessing to live in an age where we can watch a conversation between such inspiring gentlemen like Mike and Chadd. Thank you God for these men and those like them. God Bless them and may God Bless the United States of America!

This guy's positive energy is contagious, really enjoying the show 15 minutes in.

Mike doesn't have "interviews", he has talks with buddies. It's just that relaxing and natural. And I can't even imagine running for thirty-eight hours. That's insane!

Chad is such a awesome human being! Really wish we all had a Chad in our life, leveled headed and full of positivity!

Chadd is a motivational speaker, and his Aura is bright and comforting, and friendly, his, "I love me binder" vids are great, as he shares little stories about the seal training he went through and some very interesting things that happened to both him and others. Chadd is like everyone's friend that someone knew growing up, and just happens to be an elite tier 1 warrior even though he looks like duck dynasty, he is the epitome of an operator with that wild look

Man I accidentally started watching chadd . He has done so much to motivate me after being badly injured in the military . Even how to eat and cook rice .

“I was actually asked this question yesterday.”-Chad “Aw. We’ll skip it then.”-Mike 🤣🤣🤣 Love Ritland’s sarcastic attitude at times!!🙌

Chadd and Bill Rapier are awesome God gearing warriors, got to love it!

This is my all time favorite guest that has ever been on Mike Drop!!!

Human condition= physical, mental and spiritual and Chad proffer's sound insight. Need to keep talking about addiction, clean and sober twelve years now. thanx for having him on Mike.

Chadd is great. Always will tune in when he does an interview. Mike i've heard multiple interviews with Chadd and you pulled out quite a bit of new content. Appreciate your skills and your show is becoming one of the best out there. Thanks for the hard work!

Half way through and this podcast has hit harder than 98% of any other. Hell of a way to round out a Sunday. I'll raise a glass to you and yours.

Listening to Chadd talk about his faith was exactly what I needed yesterday when I listened to this. I have been struggling in that area and listening to him helped alot.

You are an amazing interviewer-- your kindness & nonjudgmental style is an example for all to follow. I also have to mention catahoulas-- one heck of a hog dog!

That epic beard needs its own zip code.

Chad has to be one of my all time favorite people. This guy has the best mindset.

Love the conversation on Christianity. So good to hear!

This Chadd dude is at another level!I really likes the part about his wife on not giving up on her!Total respect!

I was not familiar with Chadd. Seems like a great guy and fellow believer. So much positive energy radiating from that guy. Another great episode, Mike. Keep up the amazing work, brother.

Wearing shorts that short takes skill and courage.

The world needs a whole bunch more of people like Chadd Wright!!!

As a Christian ✝️ I definitely enjoyed this episode. Love you dudes and these talks .

I've dabbled with this fellers content, but this podcast with him made me a huge fan.

Chadd Wright is one of my favorites! Thanks Mike!

One thing that's helped me more than anything in life is listening to Navy Seals. Thanks Mike, Great Show.

I lost a nephew to addiction this spring. His testimony opened my eyes to a different perspective of addiction.

Preach it brother Chadd! You are definitely a born again believer in Christ. Mike is aware/familiar or knows "about" Jesus, but based on what I heard, Mike does not appear to have made Jesus his Lord and Savior. I've heard plenty of men like Mike - good guys who probably attend church with their families because it's the "right thing to do," but you can tell, he really doesn't appear to be sold out for Jesus. Followers of Christ SOUND JUST LIKE YOU CHADD. You are a student of the Word of God and are able to defend what you believe, while humbly acknowledging you don't have all of the answers. You can tell Chadd is COMPLETELY SOLD OUT for Jesus, period. He is not hindered in his faith because bad things happen to good people. That's an age old question that non believers ask all of the time. It becomes a stumbling block for many people and prevents them from FULLY accepting Jesus by faith and allowing HIM to be their LORD and SAVIOR. JESUS HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED THE TRAJECTORY OF CHADD'S LIFE AS HE STATED IN THIS VIDEO. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO SOMEONE WHO ACCEPTS JESUS AT THEIR LORD AND SAVIOR. You become of new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). God has given us all a free will. We can choose to ignore the Holy Spirit convicting our hearts (conscience) about our sinful living or we can choose to respond in faith to the Holy Spirit's conviction by repenting and receiving Jesus' forgiveness and PROMISE of ETERNAL LIFE. People can lean on their own understanding about life and keep Jesus at arms length and hope they "make it into heaven" when they die. The bad news is that everyone is a sinner and deserving of hell. The good news is Jesus came to SAVE us from that peril and we simply need to repent and receive his love and forgiveness. Being a Navy SEAL is a big deal these days. They (SEALs) have reached a "god like" status as evidenced by all of the comments found on any RU-vid channel that has anything to do with SEALs/special forces/operators, etc. However, brother Chadd does NOT find his IDENTITY in being a former SEAL. He recognizes that SEALs, and all of humanity, were created in the image of God, and that as God's creation, we should worship our Creator daily. Chadd knows that all of humanity will stand before Jesus on Judgement Day. Mike, having a trident and a long list of good deeds that were done for your family, country, etc will NOT save a person's soul. If we could EARN our salvation simply by allowing our good deeds to out weigh our bad deeds, then Jesus' death and resurrection was pointless since a person would therefore be able to enter heaven on our own merits. But the Holy Scriptures do NOT teach this. The Scriptures say that ALL of have sinned and are in need of a savior. There is only one Savior, Jesus Christ. Mike, or anyone questioning the Bible, Jesus, etc, read "The Case for Christ" by Lee Strobel. This book is a solid read, with solid facts. The guy who wrote it (Lee Strobel) had a JD degree and a Journalism degree and was an atheist. His wife became a born again believer and he was determined to prove her wrong. After researching the evidence, he got saved...I love it. Anyways, keep sharing the hope that lies within you Chadd. Use your former SEAL status to your advantage by sharing the gospel. People these days love SEALs and pretty much anything that flows out of a SEALs mouth becomes their "gospel." There are tons of former military vets who are struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, etc. They need Jesus in their lives so that He can begin healing them. As you said Chadd, there is power and authority in the name of Jesus.

I absolutely love Chadd. Been following him pretty much since day one when he came online and i can say quite honestly he is an amazing human being. Mike, love you too man! Been following you since day one as well. Two top quality people right here. Thanks for all you guys do! Keep it coming!

One of the best quotes I have ever heard is from Chadd, when he was on the Cleared Hot podcast: "A ship cannot sail on yesterday's wind." - Chadd Wright Chadd is one of those people that is engaging to listen to, regardless of the subject. Great interview Mike!!!

Mike you're a true professional interviewer.

Your interview questions are outstanding. I have been binge watching and this is my favorite yet. Comes across sincere honest no bs both of you.

Loved this episode. Chad is an awesome guy. Great interview. 3 of 7 pod cast is awesome too.

From my point of view : The quality of the interviews in terms of questions and answers is much better here than in France. I'm glad to know about this youtube channel.

Chad is awesome. Great to see him on!

Appreciate the Lightning Round. ⚡✝️🙏 Edit: What an awesome interview. Maybe one of the most legit man I have ever heard speak.

What an amazing human being. I love his devotion to his wife.

Nothing like a good Ol' Coon Race with Walker's and Plotts. The Music they make when they open up is a satisfying sound to a Cooner's Ears. I'm 70 years Old and still Coon and Hog Hunt on the same Farm I grew up on in South Alabama. Here's to You Young Bucks and thanks for serving!!

This one went to another level. Great job Mike and Chadd

I know the Lord changed me.I have had 40 surgeries and need 3 more.And I know he brought it through these.I am so thankful to be alive .Thanks Mike for this Man on.I have been follow both of you.This podcast is great. And I LOVE DOGS.

Outstanding Podcast Mike, Chad is an amazing human.

Dog handling forms a bond between handler & K9. Each gain knowledge & respect of the other. We read each other. “Mind speaking”, in a sense. When everything gels, there’s such a great sense of accomplishment. Thanks for your service & content, Men !

One of the best pod casts so far Mike. Enjoyed Chad's fellowship and story well done.

Incredibly powerful interview...loved it!

Absolutely awesome show. Love Chad. Been hoping to him on this pod cast. Dude is amazing. His 3 of 7 pod cast is good too.

My favorite podcast thus far. Respect the both of you!

This is such an amazing interview. 40 mins in and no real discussion of combat. Just astonishing insights into the nature of faith. Jaw dropping. Brilliant and inspiring.

Just recently discovered The 3 of 7 project and wow I’m truly blown away Chadd!!! Keep fighting the good fight!! Love everything you stand for brother!!!

Been waiting for this one! 👍🏻👍🏻

I don't think there's a more humble dude on planet earth than this man!

Can’t wait for this one. I just discovered Chadd’s content. Love the channel Mike.

I always like listening to the stories of these badasses because the spirit and resolve in their stories is really motivating for us regular dorks to get off our butts and work on ourselves, least for me anyway. Love this podcast

This channel needs more subscribers and views, incredible content every single time, great job Mike!!!!!!!

I came across Chadds channel like two weeks ago, I used to like him a lot now I love this man!!! Such a great person love how he explains his answer every question Mike asks him! Love the podcasts! 🔥🔥🔥

Love this program! Keep up the great work and great guest! Thanks for sharing!

I’ve been sober 21 years and love his story. If you saw this dude on street you would never think he was the tip of the spear protecting our way of life. Love it. Thank you for your continuing service Mr. Ritland.

God bless you Chad and Mike. Thanks for the positive content.

Another incredible show Mike, appreciate you. Love Chadd Wright and the three of seven project. All positive. God bless you all.

Stayed up watching MSM and absolutely loved Chad's never give up. Amazing podcast

As an addict who’s 8 years sober. That last part concerns me. If she isn’t afraid of losing everything, the addict will always know she can get away with it. Did it myself. In addiction extreme loyalty does the opposite, it hurts you. Chad won’t quit because he doesn’t know how. Praying for Chad and his wife

Another great episode. Keep up the great work Mike.

This was another great one! Very inspirational

I really enjoyed this interview, well done brother

A conversation from the heart. Truly inspiring! Well done gentlemen.

Damn this was good, couldn’t put it down once it started. Never judge a book by its cover!

Definitely one of your best interviews to date. Chadd is an absolute stud

Chadd you are an amazing person. Thank you for sharing your story. Mike thank you of another outstanding podcast 🇺🇸

Awesome Interview Mike! The art of conversation is not lost in you, excellent, insightful questions throughout this podcast. Refreshing to see, 2 human beings having a respectful conversation about a contentious topic like religion. Keep Charging mate!

Chadd, putting your spouse first is really resonating with me. God Bless you man ! You are the epitome of a good man. Love these thoughts !

Those of you that are hating on chad for his direction and walk with his creator should take some lessons from the Host. Mike isn’t just doing his job but he’s letting the guy speak and not criticizing him and damn sure not going home and kicking himself in the ass for letting him on the show or even being Humble and opening up about his experience also. The walk with God is personal always has and always will. It’s just been bastardized by the CHURCH (Business). This content and comments are a sign that we just need coexist and and peaceful, unless someone is trying to kill your or yours, then cut off the head… We are starting in some troubling times in the world not just the USA . Christianity will be everywhere along with everything else. There will be times where Christians will be killed for just acknowledging it’s existence. Real Buddhist have been murdered and or forced to convert to Islam now for the past 30 years and no one is bitching and raising the roof about this… Just let people words flow over you don’t attach yourself if you don’t want but all the hating has to stop.

Total and utmost respect for Chad. I have the same situation I will go down with her rather then anything else. As a man all we have is our word. When we give it to a woman we Love and they have issues I could never leave her. Mike you are a true inspiration for me you give the best podcast. Thankyou both for your courage and service.

As a recovering opiate addict there is choice involved but it will totally break one's soul to make the right one. Do not let the addiction win because when it does the drugs come before your own life and the battle will never stop. Keep up the fight it's worth it. Living is worth it...coming from someone who had to die to realize that.

Oh hell yeah. Will listen at work tomorrow 👊

What a great interview that was! Both men are amazing to listen too! Mike needs to invite him back!

This was awesome. Definitely one of my favorites. 💪🏻🇺🇸

I always wonder why some of my friends died young.But i have always heard it rains on the just and the unjust and i believe in it.Thanks again to both of you and what you have done.

Chadd Wright is so spot on on the topic of the Bible it is truly a blue print on how we should follow and adhere too.

I’ve been coon hunting for 15 years now! I love it, those dogs take a lot time and practicing!

Really enjoyed the conversation thanks Mike

This guy was so interesting. Thanks Chadd and Mike for another really awesome podcast.

Thanks Mike for having Chadd on.
