Failed as a Pastor? Chaplaincy isn't a consolation prize!

Thinking about becoming a chaplain? Before you trade your pulpit for a pager, let’s talk.

In this video, I break down the real differences between being a pastor and a chaplain—because they are not the same. If you’re in seminary, considering a chaplaincy degree, or looking at CPE (Clinical Pastoral Education) programs, this is required viewing.

👀 Here’s what we cover:

Why chaplaincy is not a fallback for burned-out pastors

How seminary programs are shifting focus from pastoring to spiritual care roles

The clinical, emotional, and spiritual skills chaplains actually need

What it means to provide interfaith, trauma-informed, nonjudgmental care

How to know if you really have the pastoral gifts for this calling

Whether you're exploring hospital chaplaincy, hospice chaplaincy, prison ministry, or military chaplaincy, you need more than a calling—you need training, self-awareness, and a whole lot of emotional maturity.
