Beyond the Uniform: Faith, Female Veterans & Finding Purpose After Deployment
What happens when the uniform comes off—but the calling to serve remains? In this episode of VS of Life, Veronica sits down with Chaplain Amanda, a 22-year military veteran, Army chaplain, mother, and finalist for Miss Veteran America. Amanda opens up about her journey from enlisted service to chaplaincy, the realities of returning home after deployment, and the challenges women veterans often face that are rarely discussed. They explore the hidden struggles of transitioning back into civilian life, moral injury, the importance of community, and the growing crisis of homelessness among female veterans and their families. Amanda also shares how her experience with Miss Veteran America has deepened her commitment to advocating for women who have served and connecting veterans with the resources they have earned. Through stories of ministry, military service, motherhood, weddings, baptisms, and moments of crisis, Amanda explains why being a chaplain is more than a job—it is a calling to walk alongside people during both the best and hardest moments of their lives. This conversation is ultimately about saying yes to where God is calling you, finding purpose beyond the uniform, and creating space for veterans to heal, reconnect, and continue serving in new ways. #veterans #veteransintransition #chaplainrecruitment #MSVeteranAmerica #MilitaryChaplain #femalechaplains
