A warrior off the battlefield, Josh Burch finds new purpose rooted in faith, family, and the freedom he fought to defend.
In Episode 47 of the Try That in a Small Town podcast, retired Special Forces veteran Josh Burch sits down for a powerful and personal conversation about life after combat — and the new battles that begin when the uniform comes off. The episode offers an intimate look at Burch’s journey from the front lines of America’s defense to the front porch of rural values, rediscovering purpose in service to God, community, and country.
Josh opens up about the psychological and spiritual weight carried by many veterans, and how reconnecting with traditional values — faith, hard work, and personal responsibility — became his new mission.
This episode isn’t just about one man’s recovery — it’s about American recovery. Josh Burch embodies what it means to keep fighting — not for survival, but for truth. And in a culture that throws away its warriors, this story stands as a reminder that real strength begins with purpose.
