In this episode, we recount the extraordinary story of Desmond Doss, the WWII medic who demonstrated unparalleled courage at Hacksaw Ridge. Even after being hit by a sniper's bullet and a grenade blast, Doss prioritized helping his fellow soldiers, attending to their injuries before finally addressing his own.

We’ll discuss how his actions exemplify the outward mindset—focusing on the needs of others while still maintaining personal resilience. Tune in to explore how his heroic story offers timeless lessons on selflessness, sacrifice, and the power of serving with purpose.
