Ex Canadian Soldier Dave Small on Civil War, Burma and Living out God's Purpose
The Sovereign Sphere with Karla TreadwayShow Notes
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.

Canada was supposed to be the greatest country on earth. Instead: 20,000+ people died on healthcare waitlists last year. Doctor shortages projected at 72,000 by 2030. Mills shutting down. Food bank lines exploding.
Kevin Dahlgren has interviewed 10,000 homeless people — more than almost anyone on earth. What he discovered breaks every assumption about homelessness: nearly half say they choose the streets, addiction can become its own kind of addiction, and the "homeless industrial complex" may be making things worse, not better.
Canada is being pushed into a "deeper partnership" with the EU to escape US tariffs, but is this really about trade, or is it about locking Canada into a global carbon trading system few people even know exists?
The data doesn't lie. People do.
After four days of testimony that trended in the top ten globally on X, MP Dean Allison joins The Sovereign Sphere to break down what actually happened during the National Citizens Inquiry, what it took to make it happen, and why he believes this conversation cannot be allowed to disappear from the public eye. We talk about gaslighting, military cover-ups, state media, the collapse of public trust, and what real accountability would actually require going forward. This is the debrief for anyone who watched the inquiry and needs context, and the starting point for anyone who has not yet seen it.
