  • Don't Become a Cultural Casualty

    Don't Become a Cultural Casualty
    Apr 23 2022

    Law Enforcement has a very unique culture.  Fire/EMS has a very unique culture.  There are both good and bad parts to these cultures. When a First Response Chaplain steps into those cultures to serve, he or she has to be very careful not to become a "cultural casualty" by compromising their faith to "fit in".  

    This episode we'll look at the issue.  Next episode, we'll discuss how to avoid becoming a cultural casualty as a Chaplain (or first responder!).
