A Marine’s Journey Through War, Faith, and Coming Home | Micah Van Huss
Description
What does war take from a person — and what does it reveal?
In this deeply personal episode of **The Ryan Files After Dark**, Ryan Pelton sits down with former U.S. Marine **Micah Van Huss** to talk candidly about combat, brotherhood, faith, and the difficult transition from war back to civilian life.
Micah shares firsthand experiences from deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, including life as a Marine sniper, the realities of modern warfare, and the moments that reshaped his worldview long after leaving the battlefield. This is not a political discussion or a tactical breakdown — it’s a human story about purpose, loss, conviction, and rebuilding life after service.
The conversation explores how faith intersects with combat, what stays with you after war ends, and how meaning is rediscovered on the road home. Honest, reflective, and unfiltered, this episode offers listeners a rare glimpse into the internal journey of a combat veteran.

* Life as a Marine sniper
