Show by Counter Culture Mom Show, Tina Griffin

Dr. Damon Friedman is a retired U.S. Air Force Special Warfare Lt. Col. and founder of Shield of Faith Missions. After finding himself in an extremely dark place following the stress and trauma of combat, God met him in that terrible moment and saved and changed his life. Now, as founder of SFM, Damon’s mission is to empower warriors to find purpose and cultivate resilience. And, unlike secular programs through the VA, SOF allows veterans to explore healing by seeking God. Damon explains why America’s warriors are so often driven to the darkest places imaginable. They are often wounded in three ways: through PTSD, with a traumatic brain injury (TBI), and a moral injury, which he describes as a spiritual wound.
