he Invisible Wound Veterans Carry | Navy Chaplain Larry Brant on Moral Injury & Healing

Some wounds aren’t physical.

Some don’t show up on scans.

And some follow people long after the battlefield has gone silent.

This week on The ToosDay Crüe, we’re honored to welcome Dr. Larry Brant, retired United States Navy Chaplain, combat veteran, pastor, author, and board-certified chaplain, for one of our most powerful conversations yet.

After serving more than 25 years in pastoral ministry and over a decade as a U.S. Navy Chaplain—including three deployments and combat service in Helmand Province, Afghanistan—Larry has dedicated his life to helping people understand one of the least discussed struggles facing veterans, first responders, ministry leaders, and everyday people…

Moral Injury.

Unlike PTSD, moral injury affects the soul—leaving people wrestling with guilt, shame, betrayal, faith, forgiveness, and identity.

Drawing from his new book, "Restoring the Broken: A Ministry Leader’s Guide to Understanding and Healing Moral Injury," Larry explains:

✅ What moral injury really is

✅ Why so many veterans silently struggle

✅ The difference between PTSD and moral injury

✅ How faith, grace, and community can help restore broken lives

✅ Why churches and families need to understand this hidden battle

Whether you’re a veteran, active-duty service member, first responder, pastor, counselor, caregiver, or simply someone searching for hope after life’s hardest moments, this conversation will challenge, encourage, and inspire you. Larry’s work focuses on helping people recognize the hidden wounds of the soul and offers compassionate, practical guidance rooted in grace rather than judgment.
