The sheep dog from Idaho protecting the Jewish people, with Josh Boone - Ep 21

In this powerful and personal episode of Boots on the Ground, host Ari Kalker sits down with Josh Boone, the “sheep dog from Idaho”  whose journey has taken him from being the only Jewish kid in his high school in Boise to serving as an IDF sniper and dedicating his life to defending the Jewish people.

Josh shares how growing up as a minority in rural America forced him to fight for his identity, and how that upbringing shaped his resolve. The transition to Israel brought new challenges, even needing to prove his Jewish heritage. Yet through it all, his unwavering faith in God has guided him.

Through his experiences on the front lines, Josh describes his transformation from a kid fighting for respect to a soldier fighting for survival and ultimately to a guardian committed to protecting Jewish lives everywhere.

Join us for a deeply moving conversation about faith, identity, sacrifice, and the quiet determination that drives a man to defend his people no matter the odds.
