Dave Grossman was born in Frankfurt Germany and is a retired Lt Colonel in the Army. He is a US Army Ranger, paratrooper, and former West Point Psychology Professor. He has a Black Belt in Hojutsu and has been inducted into the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame. In 1995, he wrote On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society which has sold over half a million copies and is required reading both in the Marine Corps and FBI. Since his retirement in 1998, Colonel Grossman is now a NY Times best-selling author and has written a number of other books including On Combat, Warrior Mindset, Bulletproof Marriage, and On Spiritual Combat to name a few. He is one of our nation’s leading trainers for military, law enforcement, mental health providers, and school safety organizations including working with mental health professionals after school shootings. He has been cited by the President, had articles published in the Harvard Journal of Law, and been an expert witness in state and federal courts and has testified before congressional committees. He has spoken out against video game violence, done deep research on PTSD, and coined and trademarked the term sheepdog.
In this wide ranging interview, we talk at length about what it means to be a warrior for God, training in weapons and preparation, and the Sheepdog concept Dave famously trademarked in his book On Killing. We also talk about gun violence, school shootings, PTSD, and the psychology of killing. Dave talks at length about his love for the Lord and the role he sees for Biblically masculine males. This is a fascinating conversation with a man who is truly a psychological expert in combat, killing, and violence. He has some fascinating insights that there are few other people in the world qualified to bring.
