This week on I Am Redemption, Shawn Livingston sits down with Terrence Ogden for his second appearance, fresh off an absolutely relentless feat, a 1,000-mile ruck across the entire state of Texas.

Joining the conversation is his wife, Anna Ogden, who shares a powerful behind-the-scenes perspective on what life looked like for her and their family during the 40 days Terrence was gone on the road. This episode gives voice to the sacrifices made at home, the uncertainty, emotional weight, and strength required while the mission unfolded mile by mile.

Terrence walks us through the ruck from beginning to end, the physical breakdowns, mental battles, unexpected moments, and the deeper purpose that kept him moving forward when quitting would’ve been easier. We also take an intimate look inside Official Project GRIT, their mission, and what’s next as they continue to prove that pain, when given purpose, can change lives.

This conversation goes beyond endurance. We dive into Terrence’s past, the experiences that shaped him, and what it truly means to be Built For More, not just in miles, but in life.

Built Different by Pain. Powered Different by Purpose. We Are What Comes After.
