THE PARABLES®
From Combat to Calling w/ Roland Vandenberg | Ep. 84
The war doesn’t always end when you come home.
In this episode of THE PARABLES® I sit down with Marine Corps veteran Roland Vandenberg to unpack the hidden battles of PTSD, identity loss, and the long road toward healing, purpose, and service after war. This is a conversation about accountability, faith, and choosing life when darkness feels overwhelming.
Roland shares the moments that nearly broke him — and the disciplines, mindset shifts, and truths that helped him rebuild from the inside out.
We cover:
- ⚔️ Life after combat and hidden battles
- 🧠 PTSD, triggers, and healing honestly
- 🙏 Faith, humility, and responsibility
- 🔥 Accountability over victimhood
- 🧭 Finding purpose through service
- 🏛️ Building legacy beyond survival
This episode is for anyone fighting quietly — and choosing to keep going.
