147 - Forgiving Leadership Bitterness: Jake Sapp

Text the Show or Leave a VoicemailOf all the trauma and grief an officer can experience in law enforcement, many police officers say it's the betrayal and mistreatment by police leadership that has hurt the worst.  Today our guest is Jake Sapp who worked as a cop in Kansas City for fifteen years before leaving it all behind for a civilian job.  The problem is that he didn't leave it all behind; the damage done by bad leadership left it's mark in Jake, and that followed him to the next career.  Today we're going to talk about how a cop stays healthy emotionally when his dreams are dashed, his career is ended, but the bitterness remains against bad leaders.Music is by LesFMHey Chaplain podcast episode 147Tags:Police, Anger, Bitterness, Calling, Career, Communication, Compassion, Humility, Insensitivity, Leadership, Manpower, Military, Quitting, Teaching, Kansas City, MissouriSupport the showThanks for Listening!  And, as always, pray for peace in our city.Subscribe/Follow here:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hey-chaplain/id1570155168Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2CGK9A3BmbFEUEnx3fYZOYEmail us at: heychaplain44@gmail.comYou can help keep the show ad-free by buying me a virtual coffee!https://www.buymeacoffee.com/heychaplain

146 - They Don't Want Any Weirdo Chaplains: Kevin Shive, Serving the Shield

Text the Show or Leave a VoicemailI want police officers to understand why chaplains exist and I want chaplains to understand how they can serve better.  One of the best ways to "get it" is to listen to this conversation with a chaplain who has the right attitude and character.  Our guest today is Kevin Shive. Kevin is a police chaplain from Golden, Colorado and he is also the founder and executive director of Serving the Shield, formerly Rocky Mountain Police and Fire Chaplains.  Kevin is going to share some chaplain stories from the front lines but we are also going to talk about vetting and dismissing people who may not be fit to be chaplains."This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil."

Informal Leadership: A Replay from the Archives

Text the Show or Leave a VoicemailThis is replay of Bonus Episode 37 from 2024.  Steve Kellams from Blue Canary has devoted this season of his show to leadership topics and he brought me on to talk about informal leadership, because as a chaplain I have influence but no actual authority.  We ended up talking about several wellness topics and some of my philosophy of chaplaincy as well as why I started Hey Chaplain.  I asked Steve if I could use a condensed version of the interview and he agreed, so this a slightly shorter version of our conversation.Music is by Alexander NakaradaTags:Chaplaincy, Authority, Caring, Chaplains, Church Leadership, Fire, Influence, Leadership, Pastor, Podcasting, Police, Rapport, Replay, Training, Trust, Wellness, Kansas City, KansasSupport the showThanks for Listening!  And, as always, pray for peace in our city.Subscribe/Follow here:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hey-chaplain/id1570155168Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2CGK9A3BmbFEUEnx3fYZOYEmail us at: heychaplain44@gmail.comYou can help keep the show ad-free by buying me a virtual coffee!https://www.buymeacoffee.com/heychaplain
