If you’ve been craving a conversation that actually goes deeper than the headlines, this is it.
Michael Ware doesn’t tiptoe around anything — faith, firearms, politics, fatherhood, adoption, character, ego, all of it. And he brings a level of honesty that is refreshing.
Here’s why you should watch ⤵️
If you’ve ever wondered:
• How to reconcile faith with self-defense
• Why our culture is terrified of real conversations
• What adoption looks like through the lens of sacrifice and grace
• How to stay grounded in a chaotic, divided world
• What character really means in a time of outrage and noise
…this episode will hit home.
Michael’s story is raw, humbling, and full of wisdom.
In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Michael Ware—craftsman, advocate, theologian at heart, and the man behind Controlled Chaos Arms and Iowa Firearms Coalition. What starts as a discussion about firearms and advocacy quickly becomes something deeper: a look at faith, calling, adoption, hardship, and what it really means to live what you teach.
Michael shares openly about his upbringing, the gritty parts of his early adulthood, the long and painful road to adoption, and the way God reshaped his identity through fatherhood and service. We explore how he balances faith with responsibility, why he refuses to shy away from hard conversations, and why he believes courage, character, and conviction matter now more than ever.
We also talk about the mission of the Iowa Firearms Coalition, the heart behind his men’s ministry, and the spiritual maturity required to navigate a chaotic and divided world with clarity and compassion.
If you value authenticity, truth, and living life with purpose—you’re going to love this one.
