Successful Transition into Spiritual Service in Military Ministries: An Interview with Retired Lt. Col. Kathy Lowrey-Gallowitz

When it comes to qualities like sacrifice, strength, and empathy, few groups exemplify them better than military veterans. These individuals, having faced the challenges of military life, possess a special set of traits that align remarkably well with the demands of ministry.    Moving from a life of duty in the armed forces to one focused on spiritual service might not seem like an obvious transition, but as we look closer, the connections become clear. Veterans, shaped by their dedication to a greater purpose and their encounters with human struggles, have qualities that make them a perfect fit for ministry roles.   Our guest in this episode designed and executed a statewide outreach office for the Ohio National Guard to educate and engage civilians in support of troops and their families. Through the coalition of military and civilian faith community leaders she built, they taught civilians how to develop Military Ministries.   Lt. Col. Kathy Gallowitz is the co-founder of Ohio’s non-profit Veteran Interfaith Bridge and the consultant who helped initiate the Arizona Coalition for Military Families Be Connected Faith Network.   Through her business Vanguard Veteran, she equips civilians to start Military Ministries and become Veteran Champions.
