Resilience, Roots, and Recovery with Colie Bowerman

In a town like Montrose, everyone has a story, but few are told with as much grace and grit as this week’s guest. Join us as we sit down with Colie Bowerman, a man who wears many hats—board member, caregiver, and survivor. This week, we dive deep into the reality of life after a major health crisis and the strength it takes to keep showing up for your community.

In 2024, Colie faced a life-altering diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. He joins us to share the honest details of that journey, from the initial shock to the ongoing management of his health today. While he carries the lasting consequences of his treatment, his outlook is defined by a profound sense of gratitude for the care he received and the perspective he gained while navigating his own recovery.

Beyond his personal health battle, Colie serves as a pillar for his family. He discusses the delicate balance of managing his own well-being while acting as a primary caregiver for his wife and his aging parents. This "sandwich generation" experience is common yet rarely discussed with such transparency, and Colie offers a grounded look at how faith and a background in pastoral ministry help him navigate these daily responsibilities.

We also explore Colie’s passion for local heritage through his work on the board of directors at The Museum of the Mountain West. With a professional background rooted in both ministry and business administration from Oklahoma Baptist University, he brings a unique blend of heart and strategy to preserving the history of Montrose. This episode is a powerful reminder that while life may bring unexpected challenges, it also offers endless opportunities to serve others and honor our roots.
