In this episode of The Knock Podcast, we sit down with Will Bates—a former law enforcement officer, 1st Phorm athlete, and founder of the WillBinspired Foundation, a nonprofit serving military veterans and first responders battling PTSD, depression, anxiety, and the weight of unseen scars. Will’s story is one of obedience, transformation, and purpose. From surviving officer-involved shootings to confronting the culture of drinking and destructive habits that surrounded him, he shares how faith, fitness, and community became the lifelines that carried him through.
Will explains how fitness became his weapon against anxiety and depression, how the drinking culture inside law enforcement and the military can quietly erode the soul, and why vulnerability is real strength for men who are used to carrying everything alone. He talks about the danger of tying identity to a badge, a rank, or a jersey—and the freedom that comes from finding identity in Christ. His foundation has already sponsored over one hundred gym memberships, funded mental-health counseling, and built retreats that restore both body and spirit, giving warriors a place to heal and belong.
This conversation is a call to action: step in when someone is struggling, be the first to go first in vulnerability, and answer God’s knock before it’s too late. If you’re a veteran or first responder—or you love someone who is—you’ll hear practical hope and a path forward rooted in faith, discipline, and community.
If this story stirs something in you—pray on it.
If you’re searching for more—lean in. Because God is always knocking.
The question is: will you answer?
