About this listen

What happens when the badge comes off… and the mission is over?


In this episode of the Peace • Power • & Purpose Podcast, former SWAT officer Matthew J. Lyle shares his journey through law enforcement, life after retirement, and the struggle many men face when their identity has been tied to the uniform.


This conversation goes far beyond policing.


We dive into masculinity, faith, discipline, and what it means to rebuild your purpose when the role that once defined you is gone.


In this episode, we discuss:

• Life in law enforcement and SWAT

• Identity and purpose after retirement

• The war on masculinity in modern culture

• Faith, discipline, and rebuilding as a man

• The struggle of being a warrior without a mission


If you’ve ever wrestled with identity, purpose, or finding your place after life changes—this episode is for you.
