Ep.206 Ex Canadian Soldier Dave Small on Civil War, Burma and Living out God's Purpose
He grew up in a log cabin in Northern Ontario. Now he's deep in the Burmese jungle, dodging MiG fighter jets, working with ethnic resistance fighters, and running a discipleship school for survivors. Dave Small spent 12 years with the Free Burma Rangers doing war relief in one of the world's most forgotten conflicts.
In this episode, he breaks down:
- Why Burma has been in a civil war for 77 years (and why no one talks about it)
- What it's like to be shot at — and what it teaches you about fear
- Why the Canadian military would "last 3 days" against a real enemy
- The courage drought in North America and what's causing it
- How he stole uranium from a Chinese mine and walked 100 miles out of the jungle
- Why real faith only develops when it's tested under fire What people in Burma dying for freedom think of Western "luxury problems"
This episode will challenge how you think about freedom, courage, comfort, and what it actually means to live for something bigger than yourself.
