10 combat tours. 4,000 soldiers brought home alive. One daughter’s cry for help — and suddenly, the battlefield was home. In this gripping episode of Heroic Stories, former Army Special Forces officer Sean Berg opens up about the wars he fought overseas — and the one he never saw coming: watching his teenage daughter spiral into a mental health crisis that nearly took her life.
From running combat missions in Afghanistan to holding his daughter after a suicide attempt, Sean shares the raw, unfiltered truth about masculinity, helplessness, faith, and the power of choosing family over career. What happens when a warrior trained for every scenario faces one he can’t control? How do you hold onto your faith when everything seems lost? And what does it mean to live a life of purpose when your past identity no longer fits?
This is not just a story of survival — it’s a story of surrender, redemption, and a father’s decision to fight the right war. For every man who’s ever felt broken, overwhelmed, or unsure how to lead — this conversation is a map home.
