Welcome to “The Chaplain’s Chair,” a thought-provoking podcast about religion, faith, family, and yes, even some politics sprinkled in from time to time!
The Chaplain's Chair

The Chaplain's Chair

Chaplain care is soul care. And caring for your soul starts with telling you the truth. In the words of Francis Schaeffer, "Truth demands confrontation, loving confrontation, but confrontation nonetheless. If our reflex action is always accommodation, regardless of the centrality of the truth involved, there is something wrong."

You know, we live in a world of swirling ideas and conflicting values, all brought to us via 24/7 media outlets, gossip, half-truths, and outright lies. It can be difficult to discern what the truth is. And with each passing day we are losing voices willing to speak the truth and confront the error.

Whether it’s our community, our family, our work, our marriages, or even our politics, I’ve learned the Bible always offers sound guidance–truth–to help us deal with the many storms of life. And the Bible requires that we share it.

From my “chaplain’s chair” I try to speak the truth and speak to your soul—based on my personal life experiences, study of the Bible, history, and philosophy. You might find I am not much different than you.

You WILL NOT agree with everything you hear on this podcast. That’s fine. But I hope I will leave you something to think about. Thanks for listening! I invite you to subscribe to the podcast and invite your friends. Thanks for stopping by!
