In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Josh and host Keira Brinton talk about what happens after survival—after the crisis, after the adrenaline, after the world moves on. Josh shares how responding to the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, losing loved ones, and carrying years of unprocessed pain led him to discover that the greatest courage is not only found in facing death, but in choosing healing, asking for help, and rebuilding a life with purpose, aliveness, and hope.
