What Is Moral Injury—and Why Is the Church Missing It? with Dr. Larry Brant

Moral injury is more than guilt over doing something wrong. It is the deep spiritual and emotional wound that can leave someone believing they are unlovable, irredeemable, and beyond forgiveness.

Dr. Larry Brant—a Navy chaplain, combat veteran, former pastor, and board-certified chaplain—joins Mark to explain how moral injury differs from PTSD and why the Church may be overlooking it. Their conversation explores Dr. Brant’s experiences in Afghanistan and hospital ministry, his own diagnosis of PTSD, moral injury within the Church, King David’s path through failure and restoration, and the practical steps that can help wounded people begin healing.

Dr. Brant is the author of Restoring the Broken: A Ministry Leader’s Guide to Understanding and Healing Moral Injury.
