How A Hardened Green Beret Met Jesus Through Ancient Psychedelics - Tu Lam Interview

Let’s go to the Deep End!

In this deeply moving episode of The Deep End, I sit down with Tu Lam—the real-life Special Ops Green Beret whose story inspired one of Call of Duty’s most iconic characters. From escaping wartime Vietnam on a fishing boat to enduring two decades of combat and battling addiction, Tu Lam’s journey is as harrowing as it is hopeful. He shares how a chance encounter with “Amazing Grace” in Ranger School planted the first breadcrumb of God’s mercy, and how a desperate walk with his dog led to an overwhelming encounter with Jesus that broke him and rebuilt him.

Together we explore - the cost of war—both physical and spiritual - how faith can redeem even the darkest places - Tu Lam’s journey with psychedelics - the complexities of defending your country while Christian
