How does a man survive war and still carry the battle inside him for more than fifty years?

In this Raw Minds Podcast episode, Erick sits down with Keith A. Cole, a United States Marine Corps combat veteran, former CPA, author, husband, and father.

Keith served in Vietnam as an M60 machine gunner and was wounded three times.

He survived mortar fire, rocket shrapnel, jungle ambushes, and an incendiary round while riding on the side of a tank.

After Vietnam, Keith was assigned to inspector and instructor duty. Part of his job was notifying families that their son or husband had been killed or wounded in action.

Keith says that duty could feel harder than combat.

For decades, he carried grief, nightmares, alcohol use, trauma, burnout, and PTSD.

From the outside, he built a successful life.

Inside, he was still fighting.

After more than fifty years, Keith reached his breaking point.

He did not surrender to an enemy.

He surrendered to God.

Keith explains why surrender is not weakness, how faith became the foundation of his recovery, and how he found a new purpose helping people facing trauma, burnout, grief, and silent emotional pain.

He also shares the story behind his book:

Burnout: God’s Recovery Plan

This episode is for veterans, fathers, men taught to stay silent, and anyone dealing with PTSD, grief, burnout, trauma, addiction, faith struggles, or emotional exhaustion.

Recovery is possible.

Faith can rebuild what trauma tried to destroy.
