Justin Roberts: Chaplaincy, Combat, and the Healing Power of Storytelling
Manage episode 484353019 series 2829610
In this emotionally charged episode of Security Halt!, host Deny Caballero welcomes filmmaker, author, and former Army Chaplain Justin Roberts for a conversation that bridges war, faith, trauma, and the power of healing through story.
Together, they explore the critical role chaplains play in addressing mental health in military settings—often serving as the first line of support for soldiers battling addiction, guilt, and spiritual crises. Justin recounts his frontline experiences in places like Ukraine, where moral conflict and the weight of caregiving push even the strongest toward emotional collapse.
The discussion dives deep into the burden of invisible wounds, the isolation caregivers feel, and how storytelling helps veterans and families process grief, identity loss, and the lingering effects of trauma. From spiritual warfare to recovery, this episode is a call to transparency, brotherhood, and the sacred responsibility of serving others while preserving your own soul.
If you’ve served, supported, or struggled with invisible battles—this episode is for you.
