Veterans experiencing PTSD with depression and anxiety will find hope and healing in this powerful conversation. In this episode of the Overcome Depression Podcast, Jennifer Stirling-Campbell interviews veteran and author David Curfiss, who shares his deeply personal journey from childhood trauma and agnosticism to faith, self-compassion, and inner peace.

David opens up about military trauma, betrayal of agency institutions, and the emotional toll faced by veterans with PTSD. He reveals how writing his books, experiencing human connection, and spiritual exploration became key to his depression healing process. The discussion explores the nature of heaven and hell, energy and consciousness, and the courage it takes to live authentically.
