Thank you to Ft Hood Leadership for holding the Fort Hood Religious Leader Symposium and inviting local leaders.

I was inspired and encouraged by everyone in the room. There are a few things that stood out during the day:

We were encouraged to ask our Nations Soldiers two questions:

1. What are they carrying right now?
2. How is your soul?

LTG Kevin D. Admiral, III Corps Commanding General shared that
“Spiritual revival fitness is the mission for every Service member. He shared with us that 26% of Soldiers have no belief system and therefore there is no red line (off-limits) for them. He asked religious organizations (community of accountability) to partner with Ft. Hood to care for the soul of the Soldiers and their families. He shared that besides our training bases, Ft Hood has the largest population of 18-25 year olds in Nations military, similar to UT-Austin in size.

COL Kevin E. Wainwright, III Corps Command Chaplain stated to the religious leaders that:

“We are partners not competitors”
We are colleagues in the same calling
“Visibility builds trust”
The time is now.

SGM Hall challenged us and it cut to my heart:
“We have enough desire but not enough devotion. When you turn your desire into devotion it helps us as Soldiers turn our service to sacrifice.”

We will continue in the work with devotion!
