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.

Send us a textFaith finds its place in the fast lane through the quiet, consistent ministry of racing chaplains. In this heartfelt conversation, Lori Cutter reveals her journey from pit crew member to Racers for Christ chaplain, sharing how divine timing led her to discover her true calling after years in various motorsports roles."I never felt 100 percent like the Lord had me exactly where he wanted me," Lori confesses, describing the moment everything changed when a fellow crew member challenged her to consider chaplaincy. Now serving primarily with High Limit Racing alongside her husband Charlie, who works as a track medic, Lori has found her purpose providing spiritual support to drivers, crews, families, and fans.The chaplain's role extends far beyond the visible prayers before races. From cleaning mud off cars when teams are scrambling to make repairs, to checking on drivers after crashes, to sending birthday cards and cupcakes to traveling teams – these "God winks" create meaningful connections in a community that's constantly on the move. "I'm finding that I'm that mom figure," Lori explains, "that comforting figure they normally would get when they're home."With only about twenty chaplains covering all dirt tracks nationwide, Racers for Christ faces a significant need for volunteers willing to serve this unique mission field. Lori's story illuminates how racing creates a special kind of family, where text messages from worried mothers asking her to give their kids a hug bridge the distance between home and the track.Whether you're involved in motorsports or simply curious about how faith intersects with racing culture, this conversation offers a rare glimpse into the spiritual side of speed. Visit TeamRFC.org to learn how you can support this ministry or explore becoming a chaplain yourself. After all, as Lori reminds us: "God plants you, but he doesn't leave you there."Support the showFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/womensmotorsportsnetworkandpodcast INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/womensmotorsportsnetwork/ LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melindarussell/ TIKTOK: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melindarussell/ X: https://x.com/IWMANation FACEBOOK Personal Page: https://www.facebook.com/melinda.ann.russell

The Department of Veterans Affairs is the second largest government agency. The Secretary of the VA has an operational responsibility to support our Veterans and a moral obligation to ensure that those who defend and protect American interests are returned from service as contributing members of society. To explore what it takes to transform one of America's biggest bureaucracies, Fran Racioppi sat down with the Secretary of the VA, Doug Collins. As a former US and Georgia Congressman, and a Chaplain having served in both the Air Force and Navy, Secretary Collins knows what a Veteran needs and how to navigate Washington to get it done. The Secretary and Fran broke down the pillars of VA support: including the VA Health Care System, the Disability and Pension process, education support programs like the GI Bill and Vocational Rehab, the importance of Veteran-Owned Businesses, and the no down payment VA mortgages. Most importantly the Secretary shared his vision to stop Veteran suicide and why despite spending billions to reduce it over the years, we must forge a path that actually works. Fran has personally leveraged almost every single pillar of support the VA has to offer. And although it hasn't always been perfect, Secretary Collins explains why the VA leads industry in many domains and how under his leadership the VA will be held to a defined standard of excellence. This episode is about bridging the gap between military service and civilian life, the responsibility the VA has in supporting our nation's most important asset, and why Veterans are critical to American strength.

Your Faith Journey - Finding God Through Words, Song and Praise
Sermon 9-14-25, Ex 32:7-14, Lk 15: 1-10 The scripture for today really caused me to lean into my identity as a chaplain – and a word of warning – a chaplain will likely leave you with more questions than answers… The role of a chaplain is to ask questions that support others in remembering and reconnecting with their own coping strategies and belief systems One question that today's scripture brings up is What is the nature of God? / / / This is a question that I often explore with patients I think of the 50-year-old woman with newly diagnosed triple-negative breast cancer – a very aggressive and difficult-to-treat cancer -- who finds the courage to ask “Is God punishing me for something?” as she comes to terms with how every aspect of her life is now upended and at risk / / / What is the nature of God? This is an age-old question that humankind continues to wrestle with Not only among various religious traditions But also within Christianity Maybe especially within Christianity This disagreement is understandable – as we have two conflicting examples of God's nature in scripture today. In Exodus, the Lord says to Moses: “…Now let me alone, so that my wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume them” (Ex. 32:10) / / / Then in Luke Jesus likens God to one who continues to seek, welcome and rejoice over humankind – especially those who have “been lost” Throughout scripture we can find examples of God's nature to justify whatever perspective we choose to hold As we can with most issues Is God slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love or punishing sinners in judgement? Perhaps the more challenging debate lies within the questions about ourselves What do we believe? How do we live out those beliefs? How do we respond when we inevitably bump up against life circumstances and people who challenge those beliefs? / / / / I utilize psychology and sociology often as a chaplain, and draw upon those studies as I reflect on theology – the study of God – today Anthropomorphism is placing human attributes on things or beings that are not human We do this with our pets all the time, imagining their mood or desires We do this with plants and trees, imagining the grass is crying out in despair after days without rain – or rejoicing after the rain finally comes It's easy with these examples to recognize how we're likely projecting ourselves onto our dog or cat or lawn But what about with God? Might we also project ourselves onto who we wish God to be? / / / / So I read and reflect upon today's scripture with the awareness that anthropomorphism and projecting are real I also reflect on them from an Internal Family Systems perspective which acknowledges that we have different, and sometimes competing parts of ourselves that influence our thoughts and behavior This acknowledges how at times there is a part of myself that wants my enemy to suffer AND a part of myself that wants to extend compassion to my enemy / / / / Going back to the reading from Exodus with this perspective I think about Moses Moses who at the beginning of his call story begged God to pick someone else – anyone else – to do this work Moses who realized the difficulty of his call and lamented the grumbling and complaining of the Israelites to God Moses who continually turned around and devoted himself to guiding and teaching these people who kept messing up and falling short of “the plan” Moses who today implored God to return to God's good nature – and changed God's mind / / / / The Israelites built the golden calf and began worshipping it instead of God This is the famous example of idolatry that Abrahamic traditions reference But, it also demonstrates humankind's greed – And desire to possess and control God / / / / If God seems to stretch us too far out of our comfort zone Let's project onto God traits that are more like us Let us make a god into one we can understand And abide And feel better about worshipping / / / / So we hear this anger from God in the book of Exodus over the people worshipping the golden calf and breaking the covenant They break their promise to worship only God They cannot keep their end of the bargain And God is angry – so angry God plans to burn wrath hot against them and consume them! But I wonder Is this God's anger Or Moses'? Moses - After years of serving in this role that he didn't really want Teaching and guiding and nurturing these people Literally participating in saving their lives While being on the receiving end of their grumbling and disobedience I wonder if Moses is angry / / / / Fast-forward about 1200 years and the religious leaders are grumbling The Pharisees are grumbling about Jesus who cannot be controlled Jesus the Christ cannot be predicted or contained Jesus' love is bigger than what the law holds as he welcomes those outsiders Jesus, one with God, is despised and rejected Jesus persists in showing compassion to sinners Those who aren't keeping the covenant promise with God / / / / Jesus gives us yet another window through which to glimpse the nature of God Through his own actions And with two parables One about a shepherd and one about a woman These are two other groups in addition to the tax collectors that the Pharisees looked down upon And here Jesus likens God to both a shepherd and a woman / / Jesus draws us a picture with his story of God who rejoices over those who return to God – and calls a huge celebration! / / / / What is the nature of God? Jesus is trying to show the Pharisees that their righteousness has become a barrier to their ability to experience God Perhaps the merit of following the law is not the most important thing Somehow keeping track of right and wrong is preventing them from sharing in God's love and celebration “there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance” (Lk 15:7) The wild thing is that in these parables we know that neither sheep nor coins can repent There is no criticism of the sheep who wandered off, wondering what was it thinking and how long it wasn't paying attention to where it SHOULD have been going It's laughable to blame a coin for getting lost in the couch but I suppose we'd likely blame the caretaker of that coin for being so irresponsible God is rejoicing over what the Pharisees would have called worthless sheep and coins Who cannot even repent Which begs the question -- can we repent? / / / / In spite of Moses' – or God's anger In spite of ignorance and sinning and irresponsibility God keeps the covenant God keeps God's promise God continues to show humankind mercy And Jesus is calling the Pharisees – and us - out God calls us out of the human nature of judgement and criticism And toward God's celebration / / / / What is the nature of God? Maybe deciding we know the answer to that question is like building another golden calf Maybe focusing on God's nature is yet another way to avoid confronting our own nature What parts of ourself want to burn hot against someone What parts of ourself feel justified in the good works we do What parts of ourself continue to notice the short-comings of others What parts of ourself criticize our own mistakes or times when we chose poorly What parts of ourself limit our ability to celebrate and rejoice for keeping track of all our own faults and all that's wrong in this world / / / / What is the nature of God? I do know that I want God to be slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love when I'm looking into this woman's tearful eyes listening to hear fears about not seeing her teenage daughter graduate from high school I also recognize the part of me that wants God to be a flaming hot wrath consuming the one whose actions and words seem so wrong And because of that I know that I have to let it go – and let God be God And refocus on my call and challenge as a Christian To continue to wrestle with the enormity of God's love To believe that God keeps God's promise even when I can't keep mine To give love to myself and to my neighbor in ridiculous and generous ways And in the midst of it all, celebrate and rejoice with God Amen.

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.

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.

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.

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. After a brief Champions Tour Minute and a few news items, PJ convinces Brendan to give a statement on the Browns finding their franchise quarterback in Shedeur Sanders.
“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.... (Salem, Marion County; 1850s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/1901d.uncle-joab-powell-political-firsts-2of2.html)
