  1. When PTSD And Guilt Collide Scott DeLuzio 1:01:40

Some wounds keep you scanning every exit in the room. Others bury themselves deeper, showing up as guilt, shame, distance at home, and the fear that the people you Love would see you differently if they knew the whole story.

Larry Brant brings Clarity to that hidden battle through his path from Helmand Province to a COVID ICU to the Aspire Center, where he saw how PTSD and moral injury can wreck a person’s sense of safety, faith, and connection. He explains why moral injury can feel like it fractures your soul, why so many veterans pull away from Family and faith, and how healing starts when someone finally feels heard without judgment.

This conversation offers listeners clear language for what they may be carrying, practical tools like the two-way prayer journal, a better understanding of why group support matters, and real next steps through resources such as Building Spiritual Strength, REAL, Hunt Therapy, and Larry’s book Restoring the Broken. Here are the moments that hit hardest.
