Green Beret Shot in the Throat Reveals the Wound That Hurt Worse
About this episode
John Arroyo shares his experience of surviving a mass shooting and the deeper emotional wounds of growing up without a father.
Former Green Beret John Arroyo survived the 2014 Fort Hood mass shooting after being shot through the throat. But in this powerful conversation, John shares why the deepest wound of his life wasn’t the bullet — it was growing up without a father. John and Jerrad talk about father wounds, gangs, addiction, becoming a teenage dad, military life, trauma, and the healing power of realizing that God had been with him all along.
