Combat Medic Gives Post-Pandemic Traumatized Teens Life-Saving Advice - Col. Josh McConkey
What does it take to be the truth seeker and God’s leader in today’s world? This is the question Col. Josh McConkey answers in his book, Be The Weight Behind the Spear, which dives into what it takes to become an inspiration to the people around you. Josh is a combat physician and a veteran who logged 340 hours as a flight surgeon and served in Operation Iraqi Freedom. He talks about the alienation, depression, and anxiety he sees among American youth who have been greatly affected by the traumas of a post-Pandemic world, as well as the frivolous and superficial nature of social media. Josh discusses how his deployment in the Middle East shaped his perspective on life and inspired his mission to reach his community, help teens find purpose, and work every day to honor the memories of our fallen heroes.
