The Wall Street Journal Expose published July 31, 2025, titled “The Combat Cocktail: How America Overmedicates Veterans” echoes a microcosm of the complete malpractice and coercion to comply with blatant abuses of pharmacotherapy guidelines and to “cause no harm” by VA Psychiatrists told by Veterans and Active Duty Status Armed Forces personnel. FSM began a petition on Memorial Day Weekend prior to the WSJ article. Fallen Soldiers Ministries Petition: https://fallensoldiersministries.com/petition
The majority of people FSM counsels have been referred or sought us out because of the ineffectiveness of current treatment modalities.
FSM has provided over 5,000 hours, valued at $600,000+ in Certified Biblical Counseling & Soul Care built upon “The Sufficiency of Scripture Doctrine”.
FSM’s recently launched a new initiative, FSM Chaplain Specialization Initiative to embolden Chaplains to completely trust God instead of man-centered humanistic philosophies and methodologies: https://fallensoldiersministries.com/chaplain-training-program
FSM Summary:
From seedlings planted in the 1700s in America and Europe, to the first blossoms born in the laboratory of Wundt and the psychoanalytical couch of Freud in the late 1800s, the church has increasingly surrendered its belief in the sufficiency of Scripture to address all matters of life and faith (2 Peter 1:3, et. al). As the western culture, including its seminaries, ever-increasingly prioritized the scientism of psychology and psychiatry in addressing the problems of the heart and soul, the church found itself abandoning its role and responsibility to counsel to the fields of secular psychology and integrationism.
FSM has constructed a growing network of Certified Biblical Counselors to address the “Consequences of War” and public service in ways that glorify God.
FSM strives to assist Veterans, Active Duty Military & First Responder families to understand how God is Sovereign over all His creation and all circumstances, gifting Certified Biblical Counseling to overcome Post Traumatic Stress, Suicidal Ideations, Traumatic Brain Injury, Blast-Induced Brain Injury, Paralysis, Mobility issues, Neurological Challenges, Chemical Exposure, MST, Moral Injury, Divorce, Addiction, Family & Domestic Issues, Bereavement Counseling & Deployment Preparation. FSM counsels live when possible and/or virtually via a secure internet network to accommodate schedules and/or to reach individuals living in remote areas, encouraging participation in a local church and trusting the Sufficiency of Scripture.
