She shares how simply being available—offering peace, empathy, and acceptance—can be transformative. Kristen emphasizes the emotional and spiritual toll of high-stress professions and the importance of creating safe, judgment-free spaces. She draws from both Scripture and personal experience to highlight how Spirit-led empathy and silent support can communicate deep care, healing, and dignity—without needing to fix or preach, just by showing up.  Purchase The Christian Leader Blueprint book today: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprintbook Download The Christian Leader Blueprint – Short Guide (Free): https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprint Take the Christian Leader™ Self-Assessment (Free):https://www.ryanfranklin.org/clselfassessment Learn more about Christian Leader™ Community Coaching:https://www.ryanfranklin.org/communitycoaching YouTube and Audio Podcast: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/leaderpodcast Connect with Ryan: Email: info@ryanfranklin.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/rnfranklin/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rnfranklin/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rnfranklin/ Audio mastering by Apostolic Audio: https://www.apostolic-audio.com  #leadership, #thoughtleadership, #ministry, #pastor, #pastors, #churches, #leadershiptraining, #churchleader, #churchleaders, #influence, #leadershipdevelopment, #coaching, #executivecoach, #leadershipcoaching, #productivitycoach, #productivity, #growthmindset, #theproductiveleader, #ChristianLeader, #ChristianLeadership, #LeadershipPodcast, #FaithAndBusiness, #PodcastInterview, #ChristianEntrepreneurship, #KingdomImpact, #PodcastInspiration, #LeadershipJourney, #PurposeDriven, #ChristianPodcast, #LeadershipEssentials, #LeadershipFundamentalsSend us a text

How do you respond in when life gets really tough? Jerry Leachman says to remember that we're just a baby in a basket.What does that mean, "a baby in a basket?" When Moses was just a few months old, Pharoah, the most powerful man in the world, had a hit order on his life. Moses' family put him in a little frail reed basket and set him afloat in the crocodile-infested Nile River.His chances are going down the further this story goes along. And then they watched him—talk about a heartbreaking scene.I think most of you know how this story goes along. The daughter of Pharaoh finds Moses, and then they hire Moses' family back. So, now they're taking care of their own baby again, and they're getting a paycheck to do it.Pharaoh had a plan for Moses to annihilate him, but God had another plan for Moses. He was going to be God's deliverer. That little baby was indestructible until God was through with him.As long as God has a purpose for us to be here, your magnificent obsession should be not to sit here and have fun, not to sit here on earth and try to be the man. You need to find out why God put you here and be about that and fulfill your destiny.Be part of the solution, not the problem—be part of the answer. We don't want God to remove His Holy Spirit. And if there's anything in your life this morning, only you would know, that grieves the Holy Spirit, get it out. That's your call.Jerry Leachman of ⁠⁠Leachman Ministries⁠⁠ is a favorite speaker at The Center's events. Along with being an associate Chaplain in The NFL for many years, Jerry has done ministry in Guatemala, Scotland, Russia, Europe and Africa as well as all over the U.S. He and his wife Holly have been on Young Life Staff and continue to be involved with Young Life here and also internationally.

Click the player above to watch the video or read the transcript below.When people ask me what it was like in Vietnam, I often hesitate to answer. Usually, they are expecting horror stories of death and destruction.I had friends who did have experiences like that, but that wasn't my experience.My time in Vietnam, especially in Danang, was one of the best times in my life for personal growth. I was learning a number of medical skills that allowed me to help people. I loved helping people.I was able to read many books which were provided free by the Army.I was taking college level correspondence courses through USAFI, the United States Armed Forces Institute. So, I was earning college credit even while I was in Vietnam.But most importantly, I grew in my relationship with the Lord.I was in the Word — that's just another way of saying I read the Bible — every day. I memorized large portions of Scripture and would go through those scriptures in my head even at night in my bed. And I had the best times in prayer that I had ever known. When I prayed, I knew I was in God's presence, loving Him and listening to Him. It was an incredible time of growth.But …But during one of those special times of prayer … well, I felt a very clear instruction from the Lord. It was almost an audible voice. I said almost.The instruction was:“Start a Bible Study”What?A Bible Study?Now that was ridiculous. I was in a war zone in Vietnam. This was the Army. You don't just start a Bible study in the Army while serving in a war in Vietnam.It was silly. Surely it was a weird thought that just crossed my mind.It had to be a weird thought because God would know that the Army wouldn't allow anyone to start a Bible study in Vietnam.It was a crazy idea.I went to sleep and put the thought out of my mind … until the next day.Bouncing Off the CeilingAfter my work at the clinic, I went back to my room, read the Word, and began to pray.But something was very different.My prayer time wasn't like anything I had experienced up to this point.Instead of a great time of talking to and listening to God … there was nothing.I mean nothing.It's like my prayers were just words bouncing off the ceiling. It was an awful feeling. That feeling went on for a couple of days until I couldn't take it anymore.I knew I was not doing what God had told me to do, so I knew I had to take care of that.I tried to explain to God that the Army wouldn't allow me to start a Bible study, but I told Him that I would go ask someone in authority if I could.I wasn't sure who I should ask. I didn't think the Commanding Officer of the 3/82 Artillery would be a good option. There was a good chance he might laugh or yell at me.But I had to ask someone.Prayers bouncing off the ceiling were not an option. I missed my time with God. I wanted those times back.So, who should I ask?The ChaplainAs I thought about it, I realized the chaplain might be a good option. It didn't matter if he told me I couldn't do it, which he probably would, I figured at least he wouldn't laugh or yell at me.I mean he was a chaplain. Chaplains didn't laugh or yell at people who asked for permission to hold a Bible Study. At least I hoped they didn't.I didn't know how to contact the chaplain, but I figured he must have a service somewhere on base. All I had to do was find out when and where such a service was being held, attend it, and when it was over ask the chaplain about the Bible Study. Then I would be off the hook with God.The ServiceThe service was held at a building not far from our headquarters on a Sunday. So, I went to church, or chapel, or whatever the Army called it.There were about 20 men in attendance. I recognized a couple of soldiers from the 3/82 Artillery. I don't remember anything the chaplain said. I assume we must have sung some hymns, and the chaplain must have preached, but my mind was focused on how I would phrase the question to the chaplain.When the service was over, everyone lined up to shake hands with the chaplain as they left.I positioned myself at the end of the line. I would be the last one out so no one could listen to my question.I reminded God that I was being obedient and was looking forward to restoring our daily time of fellowship.The SergeantSoldiers thanked the chaplain for the service and left. Everyone seemed happy. Finally, the line was almost done. The only one in front of me now was our mess sergeant … that's what we called the guy who handled the food services for our unit. He was a good guy.I was ready with my question as soon as the sergeant left.But the sergeant didn't just shake the chaplain's hand and leave. Instead, he asked the chaplain a question.“Chaplain,” he said, “are there any Bible Studies I can attend?”I couldn't believe what I just heard.The chaplain started to say there weren't any he was aware of, but I interrupted him.I explained I was going to ask if we could have a Bible Study in our unit. The chaplain smiled and encouraged the two of us to get one going right away.We began a Bible Study in our unit that week.LESSONS FROM MY DAYS IN OLIVE DRABLesson 1: God does know how the Army works. He knows how everything works. We need to remember that in whatever condition we find ourselves in.Lesson 2: I found out later that it would have been fine with the Army if we held a Bible Study in Vietnam. We didn't even have to ask permission from anyone to do so. But God was very gracious to me to have the sergeant ask the chaplain right in front of me that day.Lesson 3: Do what God tells you to do when He tells you to do it.A BLESSINGBefore I go, I'd like to share a blessing with you from the Old Testament.“May the Lord bless and protect you; may the Lord's face radiate with joy because of you; may he be gracious to you, show you his favor, and give you his peace.”Numbers 6:24-26 (The Living Bible)Until next time … be the reason someone smiles today This is a public episode.

She highlights the power of empathy, presence, and simply being available in moments of crisis or grief. Drawing from personal experiences, Ellis illustrates how ministry and chaplaincy are uniquely equipped to meet people in their pain, offering safety, compassion, and understanding. Her reflections emphasize that presence—not preaching—is often the most Christlike response in dark or difficult moments.  Purchase The Christian Leader Blueprint book today: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprintbook Download The Christian Leader Blueprint – Short Guide (Free): https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprint Take the Christian Leader™ Self-Assessment (Free):https://www.ryanfranklin.org/clselfassessment Learn more about Christian Leader™ Community Coaching:https://www.ryanfranklin.org/communitycoaching YouTube and Audio Podcast: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/leaderpodcast Connect with Ryan: Email: info@ryanfranklin.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/rnfranklin/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rnfranklin/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rnfranklin/ Audio mastering by Apostolic Audio: https://www.apostolic-audio.com  #leadership, #thoughtleadership, #ministry, #pastor, #pastors, #churches, #leadershiptraining, #churchleader, #churchleaders, #influence, #leadershipdevelopment, #coaching, #executivecoach, #leadershipcoaching, #productivitycoach, #productivity, #growthmindset, #theproductiveleader, #ChristianLeader, #ChristianLeadership, #LeadershipPodcast, #FaithAndBusiness, #PodcastInterview, #ChristianEntrepreneurship, #KingdomImpact, #PodcastInspiration, #LeadershipJourney, #PurposeDriven, #ChristianPodcast, #LeadershipEssentials, #LeadershipFundamentalsSend us a text

Carlos Evans is the founder of C.R. Evans Ministries. Carlos was born in Puerto Rico, where he was an avid athlete throughout his high school and college years. At the university level, Carlos studied Theology and was very active in his church. It was during that time that the tragic events of September 11th occurred, and he felt compelled to join the family legacy of service in the United States Marine Corps -- and originally planned to join as a Chaplain.    Carlos served three tours of duty in Iraq and was assigned to Afghanistan for his fourth deployment. In May 2010, he was the squad leader on foot patrol when he stepped on an improvised explosive device.   The blast took both of his legs and his left hand. Medically discharged after his rehab at Walter Reed, Carlos served in the Marine Corps for eight years.  Carlos is now a minister with the Assemblies of God USA, a Wounded Warrior Spokesman, and a motivational speaker.   He and his wife, Rosemarie co-authored a book called Standing Together, an inspirational story of a wounded warrior and an enduring love.  They reside in Orlando, Florida, and they have two beautiful daughters.   If you'd like to contact Carlos or get a copy of his book, just go to his website at http://www.crevans.org    ----------------------     If you want to help us transform the lives of even MORE MEN for God's glory, please take a minute to leave us a helpful REVIEW on iTunes: http://www.rmcpodcast.com and SHARE this podcast with any young man (or men) you're mentoring or discipling.   Talk with Dr. Joe 1-on-1: Are you tired and stuck? Want to go to get your faith, marriage, family, career and finances back on track?  Then maybe it's time you got a coach.

Text a Message to the ShowToday we're talking to Rick James… no, not that Rick James.  Richard James is a chaplain with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police from the Vancouver, British Columbia area.  He is a former Canadian police officer and has been working in church ministry for several years.  He was also a police chaplain in New York State for some time.  Rick journeyed across North America and made a visit to my Kansas City studio part of his trip; at the time he held the record for furthest distance to visit me in person, but just a week after recording this, "Jake the International Security Specialist Guy" visited me from Thailand (Ep 117).  I had no idea the distance-traveled record would be broken so soon.Music is by Chris HaugenHey Chaplain Podcast Episode 120Tags:Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Chaplain, Gun Control, Firearms, Police, Reports, Training, Regimental Colors, Niagara, Regina, Vancouver, British Columbia, New York, Saskatchewan, CanadaSupport the showThanks for Listening!

Andy is once again lost at sea on a potentially Great lake, so "The Boys" jump in to recap the first round of the 2025 FedEx Cup Playoffs with Brendan! After an update from PJ on Don Rea's custom shoes for next month's Ryder Cup, Joseph LaMagna and Brendan dive into an eventful Sunday at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Justin Rose exorcised some playoff demons, defeating J.J. Spaun on the third extra hole at TPC Initech. Rose and Spaun locked up automatic qualifier spots for their respective Ryder Cup squads, but the main story was yet another Sunday collapse by 54-hole leader Tommy Fleetwood. Brendan and Joseph discuss Fleetwood's play on Sunday and Joseph shares some insight into an impactful course management decision that may have tipped some off to the impending collapse. Also of note, the Chaplain returned to Scottie's bag for Sunday and Mr. 1,000 shined again in one of the strongest fields of the year. There's plenty of chatter about the "Bubble Boys" of the FedEx Cup Top 50, as Rickie Fowler used his season of sponsor exemptions to cash a trip to Caves Valley, but Jordan Spieth is going home. As per usual this time of year, a lengthy Ryder Cup debate over Spieth's current status unfolds with Brendan playing the role of "public defender" for the four-time major champ. NBC's broadcast left a lot to be desired, worrying the trio about what's to come at the Ryder Cup next month. Elsewhere in golf, LIV had a double playoff at Bolingbrook, Megha Ganne won the U.S. Women's Am, and the President called in to congratulate the latest DPWT winner.

Are you in a painful place in your life today? Do you feel like the wheels are coming off? Do you feel bitter toward God?Whenever you feel God may be far from you, whenever you feel the wheels are coming off in your life, choose to praise God. The worse it gets, praise God. And mathematically, God has to draw near because He always inhabits the praise of His saints. Don't question Him, don't curses him. Praise Him. And He will draw near to you in. In your worst pain and in your worst moment, you can make it your finest hour if you'll praise God.Then use that comfort you've received from God to give your life away. Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 1:3-6"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer."Jerry Leachman of ⁠⁠⁠Leachman Ministries⁠⁠⁠ is a favorite speaker at The Center's events. Along with being an associate Chaplain in The NFL for many years, Jerry has done ministry in Guatemala, Scotland, Russia, Europe and Africa as well as all over the U.S. He and his wife Holly have been on Young Life Staff and continue to be involved with Young Life here and also internationally.

“Uncle Joab” was the most famous preacher in the West for a reason ... and that reason was pretty much exactly why the pioneer lawmakers found him to be such a lousy fit for the job of Chaplain of the Legislature. Suddenly they were desperate to get rid of him. But, they'd hired him before his salary was in the treasury....

Martin sits down with hospital chaplain Rosemarie Proctor to explore a life of evolving faith, profound loss, and deep spiritual wisdom.Rosemarie's journey began in a strict Catholic upbringing, where fear-based teachings about heaven and hell shaped her childhood worldview.

In one of the episode's most moving moments, she recalls the 9/11 chaplain's prayer—a guiding force in her ministry: "Lord, take me where you want me to go, let me meet who you want me to meet, help me say what you want me to say, and get me out of the way."Jerry and Rosemarie also discuss:How meditation and gardening helped her rediscover the divineHer experience with Reiki and insights into Eastern spiritualityWhy God: An Autobiography affirmed her long-held belief that God sets different paths for different peopleThe idea of a personal God who is evolving through relationship with humanityWhether you're religious, spiritual-but-not-religious, or simply curious about the many ways people find meaning, this episode invites you to reflect on the turning points that shape our spiritual lives.Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:The Life Wisdom Project – Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God – A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind – Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.What's On Your Mind – Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. Stay ConnectedShare your thoughts or questions at questions@godandautobiography.com

When the Legislature of the new state of Oregon started looking for someone to serve as the state's first Chaplain of the Legislature, Uncle Joab's name naturally came readily to mind. But it wouldn't be long before they wished they'd never even heard of this plain-speaking, long-preaching circuit rider....

As the NFU hosts an on-farm water summit, we find out more about an innovative project in Shropshire to manage water. It aims to prevent excess run-off from urban areas which floods farmland and destroys crops.Out and about with the Agricultural Chaplain for Suffolk who's helping farmers cope with the pressures of running a farm business. He says they're especially concerned about changes to inheritance tax reform.Scientists are working with farmers to find a high-tech way of tackling one of the most voracious pests farmers face - slugs. Traditionally, producers have used ferric phosphate pellets to kill them, or taken a more expensive but eco-friendly route, using nematodes to eat the pests. Now the British On-Farm Innovation Network or BOFIN for short, is using artificial intelligence as part of a "Slimers" project to work out where slugs are hiding.

Join the Veterans Breakfast Club on the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army Chaplain Corps, Monday, July 28, at 7:00pm ET for a special livestream conversation about the extraordinary life and enduring legacy of Father Emil Kapaun, U.S. Army chaplain, Medal of Honor recipient, and Servant of God now on the path to sainthood. Our guest will be Ray Kapaun, Father Emil's devoted nephew and family spokesperson, who has spent decades gathering stories, preserving memories, and promoting his uncle's legacy of faith, sacrifice, and service. With deep personal insight and moving anecdotes, Ray will share not just what made his uncle a great chaplain, but what made him a saintly man—and why his story still resonates powerfully today. Born in 1916 in the farming community of Pilsen, Kansas, Emil Kapaun grew up working on farm equipment and studying for the priesthood. He was ordained in 1940 and joined the U.S. Army Chaplain Corps during World War II, serving in the Burma-India Theater. But it was in Korea, during the early months of the Korean War, that Father Kapaun's heroic ministry made him a legend among soldiers and prisoners of war alike. Assigned to the 1st Cavalry Division, Kapaun was known for celebrating Mass from the hood of a jeep, riding his bike from unit to unit under fire, and fearlessly ministering to troops in foxholes. During the Battle of Unsan in November 1950, he repeatedly braved enemy fire to rescue the wounded. When given the opportunity to evacuate, he refused—choosing instead to stay behind with the injured and surrender alongside them. He was marched to Pyoktong Prison Camp in North Korea, where he spent the last seven months of his life tending to sick and starving fellow POWs. He stole food, built fires in secret, offered prayers, washed clothes, and lifted spirits—risking severe punishment each time. Fellow prisoners credit him with saving hundreds of lives through simple acts of compassion, courage, and faith. He died in captivity on May 23, 1951. For his heroism, Father Kapaun was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor in 2013. His military decorations also include the Distinguished Service Cross, Bronze Star with “V” Device, and the Legion of Merit, among many others. In the Catholic Church, Father Kapaun is now known as Venerable Emil Kapaun, a title bestowed by Pope Francis in 2021. This designation—the second step in the four-step canonization process—acknowledges that Father Kapaun offered his life in an act of heroic charity. The Diocese of Wichita continues to investigate reported miracles attributed to his intercession, the next step toward beatification and eventual sainthood. Ray Kapaun, who will join us for this VBC Live program, was just a boy when he began hearing stories about his uncle. Over the years, he's met and stayed close with the soldiers who knew Father Emil in life, including the few remaining POWs who spent time in that North Korean prison camp. His efforts helped bring his uncle's remains home in 2021—70 years after his death—and laid to rest at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Wichita. Ray sees Father Kapaun as more than a war hero or Catholic martyr. He sees him as a model of human compassion—someone who looked past creed, rank, or politics to serve people simply because they needed help. “He just always put everybody else ahead of his own needs,” Ray says. “He gives hope… He saw the soul in people.” This livestream will be a heartfelt exploration of that legacy. It's a story of service beyond self, faith under fire, and the power of simple kindness in the darkest of places.

NFL Indianapolis Colts Chaplain, Ken Johnson, has inspired the Colts players, coaches and staff for over 30 years. Ken has been called a thermostat, because when he enters a room, he cranks it up a notch. Ken has great experiences as an athlete, a Chaplain, a former police officer, a military veteran, a husband & father, among other things.While Ken has spoken for huge audiences and at thousands of events, he has learned over the years, that speaking from the stage has its limits. Ken has realized over time that if you want to truly and deeply impact a person's life that real and lasting impact is made off stage.Ken has wisely withdrawn from speaking to masses and has focused on going deeper instead of broader. He's learned you become isolated from performance based ministry. It's when you slow down, give your attention to one or the few that beautiful relationships are built with a smaller amount of people. And making impact relationships takes time and effort.Now Ken preaches the phrase "Dream Big. Start Small. Go Deep."Listen as Ken shares great stories and testimonies with Brett and about how so many hidden and unseen people are the ones who make the biggest impact for good.

    Army Chaplain Major Paul Belcher joins us to share his groundbreaking insights into the intersection of trauma and spirituality within military contexts. Through his unique journey and experiences, Major Belcher developed the Traumatic Impact Spiritual Assessment Tool, a much-needed approach to help service members navigate the spiritual repercussions of trauma. His tool aims to bridge the gaps left by existing methods and emphasizes the significance of spirituality beyond organized religion, offering a fresh perspective on maintaining combat readiness and preventing further harm.      We explore the metaphorical rebar and heartwood as symbols of the spiritual and emotional strength that service members need to endure life's challenges. Chaplain Belcher sheds light on the critical role of spiritual foundations, especially for those from disadvantaged backgrounds, and how they contribute to personal and unit resilience. He shares practical advice for military commanders and medical professionals on preparing themselves and their units for the uncertainties of military life. Through personal stories and experiences, we uncover how maintaining one's core beliefs and unique identity can fortify resilience amid adversity.      Our conversation also addresses the profound impact of personal values like compassion, particularly in medical crises where chaplains play an essential role. Chaplain Belcher illustrates the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, integrating spiritual care with medical intervention, to offer holistic support to those in need. His firsthand experiences highlight the invaluable role chaplains play, from supporting families in high-stress situations to helping individuals rediscover hope and purpose.

It won't come as a surprise to you that hundreds of thousands of veterans across America are affected by trauma—some from their time in military service, though not all—and yet, their needs remain deeply misunderstood by many of us who haven't served. Not all veterans experience post-traumatic stress disorder, and yet many do—in fact, some 29 percent of veterans who served in Iraq experience it at some point in their lives. Others face issues similar to those of the general population, from mental illness to substance abuse and even childhood experiences. The need is not one-size-fits-all or even most, and the path to healing looks different for everyone too. That's what Chaplain Nate Lyons from The Salvation Army Veterans and Family Center in Beaverton, Oregon, helps us understand on this episode. As an Iraq war veteran himself, Nate now serves as chaplain and activities coordinator for some 72 veterans and their families who are on their own journeys toward healing. And today, Nate is taking us inside this special place of veteran care.  Whether you're a veteran yourself, love someone who has served, or simply want to understand how some approaches to trauma recovery are changing lives, this conversation is going to challenge how you think about healing, hope and the power of community.
