    In this episode, Chip shares why he gave up a fast-rising hospital career to stay in Chattanooga for good, how a knock on the door pulled him onto the school board and into a lifetime of public service, and why he refuses to accept that local politics has to be a slugfest.

  • E188 - Reverend Bernie Miller's Morning Cup
    Aug 17 2026

    When people have told Bernie Miller something can’t be done, his answer has always been the same: "I think it can."

    In this episode, Bernie shares how an early lesson in humility stuck with him for the rest of his life, how co-writing the soul classic "I Can't Stand the Rain" opened doors to working with artists like Michael Jackson, and how a radio job he didn't necessarily want led him to Chattanooga (and eventually the pulpit).

    Reverend Bernie Miller is the founder and Pastor of New Covenant Fellowship Church. You can connect with him on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/bernie-miller-dmin-711616143/).
