The Narrative Podcast: Why Violence is Everywhere with Lt. Col. Grossman

If you've paid attention to the news the last several years, you can't help but question what's driving the nationwide surge in violence. Why are massacres occurring more frequently than ever? How can a person who commits such a heinous act turn off their God-given restraint to kill a fellow human? Lt. Col. Dave Grossman joins CCV Communications Director Mike Andrews and Policy Director David Mahan to share his expertise on the psychology of violence.

 Before the interview, CCV President Aaron Baer sits down with David and Mike to recount the annual March for Life held in Washington, D.C., last week, as well as the story of an NHL hockey player, Ivan Provorov, who chose not to wear a pride-themed jersey during warmups.
