Summary

A cultural and spiritual shift has taken place within the U.S. military over the last two decades. From the removal of faith-based resiliency programs to rising struggles with mental health, recruitment, and retention, former Force Recon Marine and a Department of Defense Contractor, Chad Robichaux, shares firsthand insight from inside the military community. Pastor Allen and Robichaux discuss a growing awareness within the armed forces that something essential has been missing—and a renewed pursuit of resilience that goes deeper than physical training and strength alone. What is taking place will directly impact the readiness, health, and stability of our soldiers, as well as the future of our nation.
