Christian Chaplains & Coaching

Dear Chaplains,

"Whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me."
Matthew 25:45

Faith is more than what we believe. It is how we live.

We need fewer words and more kindness.
Less judgment and more grace.
Less repetition of creed and more compassion.
Less power and more pity.
Less talking about Christ and more living like Him.

Remember, the true measure of our faith is not found in what we say on Sunday, but in how we love, serve, and care for others throughout the week.

Every act of mercy matters.
Every moment of compassion counts.
Every person we encounter is an opportunity to reflect the heart of Christ.

May our faith not simply be heard, but seen.

Prayer

Lord, open our eyes to see people as You see them. Give us hearts that are quick to show mercy, hands that are ready to serve, and faith that is lived out through love. May our words be kind, our actions compassionate, and our lives reflect the heart of Christ. Amen.

Good morning CCC Family,

Today, as we observe Memorial Day, we pause to remember, reflect, and give thanks.

We honor the lives of those who sacrificed so much, while also taking time to reflect on how we are living, loving, serving, and caring for one another each day. In a world that can often feel heavy and divided, may we continue to choose gratitude, compassion, faith, and purpose.

As chaplains, pastors, caregivers, and ministry leaders, we are constantly pouring into others. Yet even in our serving, we also need moments where God pours back into us.

We invite you to take a few moments today to listen to Jim Kirkland’s devotion, “Help Me Believe God.”

Praying this encouragement strengthens your heart and reminds you that God is still present, faithful, and near.

Grace and peace.

R.C. Sproul has said, "It is one thing to believe in God. But it is another thing entirely to believe God." Help our unbelief. In 1 John 5:13-15 John makes it clear that we should live in confidence in answered prayer. This devotional will share my own journey from doubt to belief, from anxious thou...

Praying this week’s devotion encourages your heart and gives you a moment to pause in God’s presence.
