Faith, Firearms & Becoming Battle-Ready - Rebel Yankee Podcast - EP.2

Описание: Rebel Yankee Podcast – EP2 | Faith, Firearms & Becoming Battle-Ready

In Episode 2, Jam sits down with friend and entrepreneur Ryan Resch, owner of Bighorn Firearms, to talk faith, fitness, self-defense, gun culture, and Ryan’s powerful testimony of coming to Christ.

They open with “God First, then Guts & Guns,” diving deep into how God has been moving in Ryan’s life since committing to follow Christ on January 1. Ryan shares how spiritual grounding has helped him navigate stress, business pressures, and Colorado’s changing gun-law landscape. Jam and Ryan unpack Proverbs 27:17 (“Iron sharpens iron”), discussing accountability, brotherhood, and calling each other up—not out.

Ryan gives his full testimony, from moments of conviction, church experiences, and seeing signs from God, to the New Year’s Day conversation with Jam that became the turning point in his faith journey. They talk about Jesus’ boldness, the Sermon on the Mount, and how grace levels the playing field for everyone.

The conversation shifts to self-defense mindset—situational awareness, avoiding conflict, and real de-escalation stories from Ryan’s gun store. Then they get into fitness as part of being a protector: diet discipline, whole foods, macros, consistency, and why being fit is part of being ready to defend your family.

Ryan shares the evolution of Big Horn Firearms, from a small FFL to a premier Colorado gun store with high-end rifles, suppressors, training, gunsmithing, and a thriving community. They also discuss Colorado’s new gun laws, upcoming “assault weapon” licensing, 3-day waiting periods, and how the 2A community is adapting.

To wrap up, Ryan brings two firearms for show & tell: a fully built Daniel Defense setup and an authentic WWII trench shotgun with bayonet—highlighting both modern tactical gear and historical American firepower.

The episode closes with gratitude, brotherhood, and a shout-out to Big Horn Firearms as a pillar of the Colorado firearms community.
