LEARN MORE ABOUT ME
As an officer of Marines, a Navy chaplain to Marines (Retired), and a VA chaplain (Retired), I have spent decades working with combat Veterans struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), who often suffer in areas such as guilt, shame, forgiveness, and identity, all of which need a theological approach. Through interviews of combat Veterans, a fresh look at existing research, and a study of the Bible, I found a truly holistic answer. to their pain. Having worked with women who aborted, and in ERs, ICUs, Hospice care, and Neonatal ICUS (NICUs), as well as law enforcement officers, I found that this approach helps all who suffer.
