I can't take any credit for where I'm at today and where the Lord has placed in my life, that I could be a voice, I could be an advocate to our fellow veterans and I could be a friend, a mentor to a veteran who's struggling with PTSD.
Edward Choi's life has been a tapestry of service and resilience. In this episode, Hilary Roberts and Jason Wahler sit down with Edward, an Army veteran and the California Chapter Director of The Birdwell Foundation, to explore his remarkable journey. From discovering his calling in ministry at 17 to enlisting as an Army Chaplain at 30, Edward's path has been anything but ordinary. After serving three tours overseas, he faced the invisible wounds of war: PTSD.
Edward opens up about his diagnosis and the profound impact it had on his life and relationships. He sheds light on the struggles many veterans face in getting proper treatment for PTSD and draws parallels between PTSD and addiction, emphasizing that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. The conversation delves into the vital work of The Birdwell Foundation, which supports veterans grappling with PTSD.
Edward's story is one of hope, faith, and unwavering commitment to helping others heal. His insights offer a powerful reminder of the importance of community, support, and advocacy for our veterans. Tune in to hear Edward's inspiring journey and learn more about how we can better support those who have served.
