For many years, I simply introduced myself as “Chaplain to the Colorado Rapids.” That is until someone asked me how much my typical position paid. Whoops! I explained that I am a volunteer and I raise support (like a missionary) to do the work I do and am in no way funded by the team […]

In this episode, I speak with Husband, Father, Grandfather, former Pastor, teacher, elder, small group leader, current Chaplain for Young Adults, and Author Sam Wegner on The Weight of The Wait. Listen as Sam shares his touching story of heartbreak and hope. He encourages listeners to see that affliction is how to know that we continue to trust God because he is the one in control. It is impossible to please God without waiting, however; we can trust that God is good and when we struggle to believe this, ask him to reshape our definition of good.  Prayer: Lord, change me so that I can find peace in the storm, continue to seek your face, and fulfill your purpose for me. Find Sam :    the website  If you are feeling lead to help Sam and Crystal on this journal you can do so HERE.   Scripture: Romans 8:24-26 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.   Isaiah 40:31 but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.   Psalm 27:13-14 I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.   Job 13:15 Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face.   1 Corinthians 16:11 No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he may return to me. I am expecting him along with the brothers.   Psalm 119:68 You are good, and what you do is good; teach me your decrees.   Psalm 119:71 It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees.   Daniel 3:17-18 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliverus from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty's hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up."   Mark 9:23-25 "'If you can'?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for one who believes."  Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!" When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the impure spirit.

The message was delivered on Sunday, November 30, 2025, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Chaplain Devin Moss, Guest Speaker. Description: What does it mean when a Humanist chaplain becomes the last person a death-row inmate chooses to face the end with? What kind of connection forms when belief isn't shared, but mortality is? In that charged space, compassion stops being gentle. It turns into something unmistakably real. About the Speaker: Devin Moss is a Humanist Chaplain and Webby Award-winning storyteller unwavering in his pursuit to relate stories that connect us to our humanity. A natural explorer, he uses playful inquisition to examine the complexity of the human condition and the intrinsic meaning of life. Moss maintains an interdisciplinary practice of storytelling, street philosophy, and practical altruism. In 2015, Moss created The Adventures of Memento Mori podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-adventures-of-memento-mori/id1061189831). The consequence of this deep meditation on impermanence was life-changing. Uncertain of what happens after we die, Moss has dedicated his life to the positive changes that can happen while we're still alive.

Host Pastor Jack King welcomes back Captain Kelly Burke, a man whose life bridges ministry and law enforcement, having served as an associate pastor, worked with the Billy Graham Association, and spent 25 years as a captain with the Tallahassee Police Department. Burke offers a unique, dual perspective on the reality of crisis and the call to serve. They discuss the recent Will Graham "Sunshine State Good News Tour" event in Tallahassee, where Burke served with the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team. He shares the team's mission to minister to hurting people and to maintain an atmosphere where the Holy Spirit can move freely, even amidst potential opposition. Then, in a gripping segment, Captain Burke walks through the events of the tragic Florida State University shooting. He recounts the immediate, chaotic response he witnessed at police headquarters, the incredible speed of the officers, and the "muscle memory" training that enabled them to respond effectively. He emphasizes the importance of pushing the threat, rendering aid, and the crucial role he took in that moment: prayer for the students, leadership, and officers. -- The Billy Graham Rapid Response Team deploys chaplains to minister in situations of grief, chaos, and trauma, whether caused by natural disasters (hurricanes, floods) or man-made tragedies (riots, shootings). -- Chaplains are trained to look for opportunities to minister to those who are hurting, often identified by their countenance or by approaching those in fluorescent vests for help. -- Kelly Burke expresses deep pride in law enforcement's ability to run toward danger and praised the professional, multi-agency response to the FSU shooting that relied on intense training. -- The nature of active shooter training evolved significantly after events like Columbine, shifting from "surrounding and calling out" to "pushing the threat" to stop the attacker immediately. -- The FSU police officer who stopped the shooter was operating on training that became automatic, saving lives in a moment of intense danger. Scriptures for Further Study -- John 16:33 -- Psalm 46:1-3 -- Matthew 5:44 This is episode 1251. ******* This is the radio program with the music removed.

This week Eye on Veterans and Connecting Vets, Reporter Julia LeDoux had an informative conversation with VA Secretary Doug Collins. We asked many of the questions veterans have today. Collins shared his goals of lowering benefit claims processing times, simplifying the system and a revealed plans to overhaul the application. We also got a rare look at his military background as an Air Force Reserve Colonel, Chaplain and deployment to Iraq. He shared memories of a Thanksgiving, while stationed at Balad Air Base, and how his experience and faith guide his work today. We dove into topics like; veteran mental health, what's being done to lower veteran suicides and the connection between mental health and the medications so many veterans are prescribed. We asked his position on alternative treatments like psychedelics and cannabis. We also sought an explanation for why Congress recently blocked passage of The Maj. Richard Star Act. which defends veterans ability to receive both retirement and disability benefits. And we learned who he's (always) rooting for in college football!

In this week's episode, we delve into the powerful documentary The Chaplain and The Doctor with two extraordinary guests: Betty Clark, the chaplain at the heart of the film, and Dr. Jessica Zitter, the physician and filmmaker who brought this story to the screen.  The film provides a deeply moving look into the ways personal stories and biases shape our interactions in healthcare. Through our conversation with Betty and Jessica, I gained a valuable insight: the narratives we carry within ourselves—whether conscious or unconscious—act as invisible forces that influence how we engage with patients and colleagues. I also learned that recognizing these stories and the biases they may produce, rather than avoiding them, can foster more genuine and empathetic care. They also may lead to deep friendships, as is clearly shown between Betty and Jessica. I love both this podcast episode and the film itself, as they shine a light on the deeply human—and oftentimes flawed—experience of working in healthcare. They remind us of the vital role of storytelling in shaping how we care for patients, and the often-overlooked yet essential contributions of chaplains in healthcare settings. Betty and Jessica's reflections underscore how chaplains bring compassion and humanity to the medical team, offering emotional and spiritual support to patients and providers alike.  If you're interested in watching The Chaplain and The Doctor during its festival tour, or would like to host a screening at your own institution, I encourage you to visit the film's website at TheChaplainandTheDoctor.com.    This episode of the GeriPal Podcast is sponsored by UCSF's Division of Palliative Medicine, an amazing group doing world class palliative care.  They are looking for physician faculty to join them in the inpatient and outpatient setting.  To learn more about job opportunities, please click here: https://aprecruit.ucsf.edu/apply/JPF05811   ** NOTE: To claim CME credit for this episode, click here **

Hey! I am a Chaplain to motorcycle road racing with MotoAmerica and WERA. So, I often lead chapel services in odd, noisy places. But it is still the Word of God, and His Word is life-changing. I hope your life is changed and encouraged by the messages here on this podcast site.We often find ourselves falling into misery over rotten circumstances and sometimes bad life choices. God is not unaware of these situations, and He uses them to make us stronger and teach us to be the men and women of God that we are to be. And if you are not a man or woman of God, I hope this challenges you to become a part of His family

The U.S. Army cut funding for Catholic chaplain extracurriculars (like music class!) due to double-dipping and fiscal redundancy, sparking outrage that the world's wealthiest religious organization is being treated "like everybody else". We dissect this glaring waste of taxpayer money and question the constitutionality of the entire Chaplain Corps program, which promotes religion itself. Why are unqualified clergy leveraged as mental health counselors while simultaneously crying foul over losing budget for sacramental record-keeping?News Source:US Army at Odds with Catholic Chaplains over Religious Support ContractsBy Lara Corte for Stars and StripesNovember 5th, 2025

Behind every strong police department stands a support system that cares for those who protect and serve. For Cape Coral Police Department, that backbone includes our Chaplaincy program and Lead Chaplain Dennis Gingerich. Gingerich has dedicated nearly three decades to supporting Cape Coral Police officers through their darkest moments and greatest celebrations.Chaplain Gingerich shares how he transitioned from founding Cape Christian to also becoming the department's longest-serving chaplain. With warmth and wisdom, he explains the delicate balance of providing spiritual support without imposing religious beliefs, emphasizing the chaplaincy program's commitment to confidentiality, non-judgment, and professional integrity. "We serve anyone and everyone," Gingerich explains, highlighting how chaplains create safe spaces for officers to process trauma, stress, and personal challenges.The conversation unveils powerful stories of transformation, including an officer who was initially against a ride-along but eventually shared a deeply personal trauma about his brother's suicide—something he had never disclosed to anyone else. Through these intimate narratives, Gingerich demonstrates how chaplains help address both immediate trauma and the cumulative stress that builds throughout a law enforcement career. As one officer described it, police work is like "holding a paper sack and throwing rocks into it"—each traumatic event adds weight until something eventually breaks the bag.The chaplaincy program represents an essential component of officer wellness, recognizing that effective policing requires attention to "body, soul, mind and spirit." Whether conducting ceremonies, responding to critical incidents, or simply being present during roll calls, chaplains like Gingerich, Dr. Don Neace, and Patrick Miller bring diverse life experiences that prepare them to support officers through whatever challenges arise.Listen now to understand how spiritual care contributes to healthier officers and, ultimately, better community policing.

Sunday Chaplain Joseph Smith 11/9/2025

This is a summary of a special episode of the Gospel Addict Podcast, hosted by Greg Bryan and Jim Reske, featuring Kent Chevalier, the chaplain for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Greg Bryan, a self-proclaimed diehard Steelers fan who was born in Pittsburgh, expressed his excitement about learning more about Chevalier's ministryKent Chevalier, the chaplain for the Pittsburgh Steelers, described his path to NFL ministry, which began after 22 years as a local church pastor when tight end Vance McDonald started attending his church, leading to an invitation to serve the team alongside his wife, Erica, through Athletes in Action (AIA). Chevalier's ministry role involves offering separate Bible studies for players, coaches, and their families, maintaining the "ministry of availability" on the sidelines, and providing a half-hour, gospel-centered chapel service the night before games to "bring church to them". He addresses the intense pressures of fame and wealth by challenging rookies to recognize that the NFL stands for "not for long" (the average career is barely three years) and that their identity must be built on Christ, not the "ball," clicks, or money, reinforcing that they are "human beings," not "human doings". Chevalier initiated the "Deflect the Glory" movement, urging players to bend the knee and deflect praise and worship back to God, with associated apparel sales raising funds for overlooked Pittsburgh ministries. Finally, he is writing a book, Do It Afraid: Jumping into Your God-given Purpose, which includes the LEAP framework (Let God lead, Express your fears, Ask for wisdom, Pray through it) for navigating significant, faith-based decisions.Chevalier's website is:  www.teamchevalier.com/

You couldn't meet with him and not feel uplifted, no matter your background or faith. He truly loved this city, the NYPD, the Jewish faith, the cops - he was one of a kind. His legacy is pretty much the opposite of everything Mamdani stands for, and we should never forget him. May his memory be a blessing. This is a public episode.

What if disability isn't something to fix, but a way to see God and one another more clearly? Theologian John Swinton joins Amy Julia Becker to explore how our ideas of perfection, healing, and humanity can distort—or deepen—our understanding of the good life. Together, they imagine a church and a world that welcomes every body as good, beloved, and whole.

Sign up for our newsletter! https://drchristiangonzalez.com/newsletter/ Episode Description: If you sat with hundreds of people as they were dying, what do you think they'd say mattered most? Catherine Duncan has been at the bedside for hundreds of final moments and what she's witnessed might completely change how you see life, healing, and peace. After decades working in trauma hospitals and hospice care, Catherine has seen people find profound clarity just minutes before death. Fear disappears, light fills the room, and what truly matters finally comes into focus. The biggest lesson? You don't have to wait until the end to access that kind of peace. In This Episode, We Discuss: • Why years of meditation and self-care can still leave you feeling empty • How unprocessed trauma hides in the body and quietly drives your choices • The simple shift that reconnects you to something real — your heart, body, and spirit • Why manifestation often fails when it lives only in your head • How feeling elevated emotions like love and gratitude actually changes your energy, health, and life • What Catherine has seen at the bedside — moments that defy logic and reveal the truth of who we are Why This Conversation Matters This episode isn't about death - it's about life. It's about learning from those who've already walked to the edge, so you can wake up now, not someday. If you've been searching for meaning, peace, or connection, this might be the most important conversation you hear this year.

Medical trainees spend years mastering what to do when biology fails — countless protocols, procedures, and split-second decisions. By the end, they're primed to fix what's broken. But what if the mandate of medicine is simpler — and more human?Our guest on this episode is Dr. Jessica Zitter — a physician, author, and filmmaker who has spent her career at the fault line between intensive care and palliative care. Dr. Zitter was initially drawn to the technical choreography in the ICU: numbers to chase, procedures to perform. Yet, along the way, she began to notice the danger we rarely name — that in our devotion to protocol, we might drift away from the person in front of us. Over the course of our conversation, Dr. Zitter shares personal experiences that have shaped her approach to medicine. We talk about moral injury and how it compounds: when systems push us to act against our values, care gets worse, and the hurt deepens. We talk about how bias slips in when power meets prejudice at the bedside and why chaplains — so often sidelined — can be essential guides back to the human being we're treating. Her prescription is simple: treat patients as you'd want your own loved ones to be treated. Ask for the story. Reconstruct the person we've taken apart into smaller pieces.Dr. Zitter is the author of her memoir Extreme Measures, appears in the Academy Award-nominated short film Extremis, and is the director of several documentaries, including 2025's The Chaplain & the Doctor.In this episode, you'll hear about: 2:45 - Dr. Zitter's path to a career in intensive care medicine4:52 - A day in the life of an intensivist17:42 - Dr. Zitter's unexpected pivot to prioritizing palliative care in her work  26:41 - The inspiration for Dr. Zitter's film The Chaplain and the Doctor38:36 - How chaplaincy attends to the soul of the patient and what doctors can learn from this perspective42:51 - Navigating internalized bias as a doctor49:42 - Dr. Zitter's advice for her younger self Visit our website www.TheDoctorsArt.com where you can find transcripts of all episodes.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
