Part 2 of my conversation with John Graham picks up where the chaos left off. After years of chasing danger, John finally has to face the fallout. He’s led on a spiritual journey and a moment at sea that forces him to choose what kind of man he is going to be. This episode gets into the turning point: how he confronted his past, how he rebuilt himself, and how he committed to a life of service instead of adrenaline.
In This Episode
- Vietnam, PTSD, and the emotional work he could no longer avoid
- How encounter groups pushed him to confront himself
- The unexpected spiritual path that cracked him open
- The typhoon off Alaska that nearly killed him
- The decision that changed his direction
- How the Giraffe Heroes Project gave him a mission and a place to serve
If you missed Part 1, go back and listen — it sets the stage for everything John reveals here.
