John Kiriakou on God, Courage, and Becoming a Gen Z Icon: Espionage as a Spiritual Exercise
The Jason Jones Show
In this episode, I speak with former CIA officer and whistleblower John Kiriakou about the moral and spiritual dimensions of espionage. We explore how life in the intelligence world can become a test of conscience, courage, and ultimately faith. Kiriakou reflects on his journey from CIA insider to citizen truth-teller—and why a new generation sees him as a symbol of integrity in an age of distrust.
