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.

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.

Are you afraid you'll miss God's plan for your life? Chaplain Ferguson's advice to new Marines struggling with their calling is the answer you need. The conversation turns spiritual as former Marine officer Jeremy Stalnecker and Chaplain Ferguson discuss the power of trusting God's guidance through life's biggest decisions, especially when ministry "was not in the cards". Together, they discuss the calling of military chaplaincy, the unseen emotional weight of ministering in war, and the spiritual history of Camp David, one of the most private and powerful places in American history. Ferguson’s new book, “Presidential Seclusion: The Power of Camp David,” pulls back the curtain on stories that shaped nations and souls alike. This conversation explores faith, leadership, calling, and what it means to serve where the stakes couldn’t be higher.

In this powerful episode of Chaplain's Compass, hosts Alice Tremaine and John Betz sit down with Imam Ayman Soliman, a Muslim chaplain whose remarkable story of faith and resilience has drawn national attention. After surviving persecution and imprisonment in Egypt for his journalism during the Arab Spring, Imam Soliman built a new life in the U.S. as a hospital chaplain — until his asylum was suddenly revoked in 2025, landing him in a maximum-security jail for 72 days. From that cell, he ministered to fellow detainees, turning suffering into service. In this deeply moving conversation, Imam Soliman reflects on the miracle of his release, the interfaith solidarity that saved him, and the sacred work of finding meaning, dignity, and hope in the hardest places.

Episode Summary: Freedom, tolerance, and human dignity only exist in Christian nations. In this episode, we dive into Tory (Conservative) Member of Parliament Danny Kruger's viral speech on England's Christian foundations, exploring the myth of public neutrality and the consequences of abandoning a moral anchor. From parish life and common law to the sanctity of life and public office, we trace how Christian ideas shaped institutions that protect the weak and restrain the strong—and why leaving that framework vacant invites new “gods” to take their place.We examine the moral vacuum Kruger identifies: the rise of secular ideologies, the growth of Islam in Britain, and the hybrid “woke” creed mixing pagan revivals, Christian heresies, and modernist power theories. Rather than caricatures, we look at what these forces do to families, schools, and civic trust, and why a politics of grievance cannot sustain a free society. Along the way, we wrestle with difficult issues—late-term abortion, assisted dying, and repentance in public life—while charting a path for Christians to reclaim moral authority in politics and culture.From Alfred to Wesley to Wilberforce, history shows that revival can transform nations when the Church acts as the nation's conscience. This conversation invites listeners to take ownership of the ideas, responsibilities, and institutions we inherit—and consider what it will take to restore freedom, truth, and hope for future generations.Who is Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)? Since 1997, DNA's mission has been to equip followers of Jesus around the globe with a biblical worldview, empowering them to build flourishing families, communities, and nations.

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.

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.

She highlights the power of empathy, presence, and simply being available in moments of crisis or grief.

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.

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.
