What does it really mean to be a sheepdog in a world that feels increasingly unstable?

In this powerful episode of March or Die, Jeremy Stalnecker sits down with Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, author of On Killing, On Combat, and co-author of On Spiritual Combat, to discuss the psychology of combat, the spiritual battle facing our nation, and the responsibility of men and women to stand as protectors in their homes and communities.

From his experience as an Army Ranger and West Point psychology professor to his pioneering work in “killology,” Grossman unpacks:

- Why preparation, realistic preparation, determines survival
- The difference between PTSD and post-traumatic growth
- The hidden epidemic of sleep deprivation and its connection to suicide
- Why fasting builds spiritual and mental resilience
- What it truly means to be a “sheepdog”
- Why prayer is the ultimate weapon in spiritual warfare

This conversation bridges combat psychology, spiritual discipline, and practical leadership for men who refuse to drift and choose instead to march.

If you’ve ever worn the uniform, or carry the responsibility of leading a family, this episode is for you.
