Patrick Day shares his journey from Presbyterian pastor to military chaplain, revealing insights about mental health challenges in today's military and how faith impacts service members in unexpected ways.

• Served 30 years as a Presbyterian pastor before recommissioning in the Georgia Army National Guard at an age past typical limits
• Deployed to the Middle East with an infantry unit and served near the Gaza Strip
• Military chaplains both "perform" services for their own faith tradition and "provide" for all soldiers regardless of beliefs
• People entering military service are four times more likely to come from abusive households than civilians
• Military service offers stability and opportunities for young people seeking to change their life trajectory
• Traditional "break them down to build them up" approach doesn't work for recruits who've already experienced trauma
• Paganism is the fastest-growing faith tradition in the military today
• Many who say they have "problems with God" are actually struggling with how the church treated them
• Now works with Camp Southern Ground's Warrior PATHH program helping veterans and first responders process trauma
• As a leadership coach, helps people find fulfillment by asking uncomfortable but transformative questions
