Text a Message to the ShowThis is the second part of our story of Detective Dana Gouge, who handcuffed the BTK serial killer, Dennis Rader.  If you haven't heard part one which told the story of a narcissistic serial killer who couldn't stop talking… then what are you doing?! Go back and listen to Ep 110 right now!  We left off with Detective Gouge putting the handcuffs on Dennis Rader before the task force took him to be interviewed.  Dana is going to tell us a bit about those interviews but what I find interesting, and what I think is missing from your typical true crime podcast, is what effect it had on the detectives to encounter a truly evil man, to be the team working such a large case, and then to wrap it up.  So I'm going to explore these topics with Dana and talk about how that affects him twenty years later.But first let me tell you what I did not reveal in part 1: the reason I know Dana Gouge.  Dana isn't just a retired homicide detective, today he's also a chaplain.  In fact at the time of this recording he's in the process of becoming a police chaplain at the same agency where I serve.  I'm really excited about the prospect of serving alongside him and his background in both policing and now counseling, pastoral care, ministry, and theology make him an excellent person to discuss the topic what to do when you encounter true evil. Dana's invitation: May 18, 2025 at One Hope Church, 9400 Nall, Overland Park, KSMusic is by Brian Bolger and by Chris HaugenHey Chaplain Podcast Episode 110.5Tags:Serial Killer, BTK Killer, Chaplaincy, Detectives, DNA, Evil, Faith, Family, FBI, History, Hospice, Infighting, Interviews, Investigations, Murder, Police, Task Forces, Theodicy, Wichita, KansasSupport the showThanks for Listening!

Palm Sunday – Wildman Psalm 118:1-2, 19-29 Luke 19:28-40

In recent years El Paso, Buffalo, Charleston, and Overland Park have joined the list of cities where right wing extremists have committed mass killings. Racial hate and fascism are not new. From slavery, into the civil war, Jim Crow, the civil rights era, onto the Oklahoma City bombing, Charlottesville and so on, right wing extremists have posed a threat to US society. But, what happens when a violent far right extremist decides to turn their back on the movement? Many of these people engage with Life after Hate an organization dedicated to helping people break free from hate and live compassionate lives. In this episode I speak with the CEO and Executive Director of Life After Hate Patrick Riccards. We discuss the radicalization process, the way hate groups grow, and the path to, and challenges faced on the road to redemption. If you are seeking to exit an extremist group contact Life after Hate online at lifeafterhate.org or call/text 612-888-EXIT (3948).

   The Bob Fescoe Fiasco is one of the most embarrassing sports radio messes in memory as his report the Royals were locked in on Overland Park for a new stadium got refuted almost in real time.  It was ugly in every way and Bob, who's a good guy and terrific family man, must be hurting over all of it.  Mayor Q piled on him worse than anyone and now Q says he has up to $1.4 billion for the Royals downtown.  What?  Is Mayor Q pulling a Fescoe here or is he pulling a Trump and will actually back it up and deliver for KCMO?    Bobby Witt Jr is ready to play ball after the stress of his off season wedding, we have a fun clip.  Michigan State coach Tom Izzo has the greatest name and comments about the college basketball transfer portal.    Trump signs a wonderful executive order to clean up our elections, MTG is holding hearings with CEO's of PBS and NPR and I can't wait.  Kristi Noem and JD Vance hit the road in opposite directions and conservative talker Chris Stigall hates emoji's in texts.  I think I will send him one!    Our Final Final is a ballpark food item that doesn't mess around... it feeds the whole family.

In this wide-ranging episode, Jonathan and Cody reunite to ask the big questions: When do you stop being “from Kansas City”? Why are people pretending not to swear when they stub their toe? And is there really only 8 billion people on Earth? Because it sure feels like more. Jonathan tells the story of how he lost a sale by telling someone from Salem, MA that she is not, in fact, “from Boston.” Cody coins the phrase “New Orleans Chiefs,” and the guys debate whether moving the Royals across the state line actually matters. Spoiler: it doesn't if you're from Cass County. They also rip apart the new “Eat Like a Baby” diet (Jonathan: “Babies eat slow because they have no teeth!”), and break down the cultural phenomenon of the Hot Mugshot Girl, who may or may not be getting arrested for clout. That naturally leads to a conversation about attractive people getting out of speeding tickets and the complicated ethics of body cams, crime, and charisma. Also in the mix: Why men become obsessed with mowing the lawn after age 30 Whether tall grass once hid saber-toothed mole cats And why the real freaks are the 26% of people who claim they don't swear when they stub their toe As always, Cody wraps things up with some real talk about his tech shop, Akins PC Repair, and their new line of gear that might just outlast your laptop, your phone, and possibly your next several relationships.

In a world where resolutions often fail, Dan Britton challenges us to embrace simplicity with his "one word" concept, a game-changing approach to personal transformation. As a bestselling author of One Word and eight other impactful books, Dan shares how a single word can anchor your year, refine your focus, and spark profound life changes. With inspiring stories from his own life and a practical roadmap to discover your word, Dan encourages us to drive toward simplicity, build character, and create a narrative for 2025 that is rich with purpose and joy. Let this be the year where one small word ignites a big shift in your journey! Key Takeaways: Discover how choosing one word can simplify your focus, making it easier to create impactful, lasting change in your life. Life naturally drifts toward complexity. By intentionally driving toward simplicity, you align your decisions with your purpose. True transformation happens when you focus on changing your character instead of trying to control external circumstances. Your word isn't something to master; it's a companion for growth, evolving with you as the year unfolds. Every choice you make today shapes the story you'll tell tomorrow. Use your word as a filter to create the year—and life—you want.   About Dan Britton: Dan Britton is a speaker, writer, coach and trainer whose purpose is to help people discover and pursue their passion. After serving with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes for 34 years and spearheading the ministry's global expansion from one country to 116, he now is president and founder of SportsLife Leadership. Dan played professional lacrosse with the Baltimore Thunder, earning a spot on the All-Star team, and he was nominated by his teammates for both the Service and Unsung Hero awards. He has coauthored nine books: One Word, One Word for Kids, One Word Journal, Life Word, WisdomWalks, The Wisdom Challenge, True Competitor, Called to Greatness and Daily Wisdom for Men. He is a frequent speaker for companies, nonprofits, sports teams, schools and churches. Dan has appeared on national outlets like FOX News, CBS News and Fast Company. He still plays and coaches lacrosse, and he enjoys running marathons—he's finished the Boston Marathon twice.

The fifth anniversary season has ended, and what a year! Our downloads were the best since 2021 and crossed the 10,000 and 11,000 lifetime downloads milestones. Listeners were the second best since 2021, with listeners from 71 countries! I want to thank the listeners of the United States, Sweden, Canada, United Kingdom, Singapore, India, Australia, Germany, Thailand, and the Netherlands as they listened to the podcast the most.   Our most downloaded episodes of 2024 were with Canada's Got Talent standouts Geneviève Côté and Matthew Cooper, social media sensations Ana Saia (the eighth most viewed on my YouTube channel) and Brandon Farris; Billboard charting saxophonist Boney James, The Challenge cast members Derrick Kosinski, Jenny West, and Paulie Calafiore, and my friends Paige of Most Likely Podcast and the hosts of AGT Time Pod.   Best of 2024 – Music:  2024 was full of impeccable music!

I love you all to pieces!   Finally, thank you to the readers and listeners who followed me on this journey! I hope 2025 will be a phenomenal year for all of us!    Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.
