Conference Calls / Podcasts / 2019-2020


In November of 2016 we began hosting monthly conference calls for my colleagues serving as sports chaplains and character coaches. I was very pleased with the quality of our guests, the wisdom shared among our teammates, and the reception we experienced from around the USA and even abroad. In May of 2018 we began recording the calls and posting them as podcasts. We have learned, slowly, about how to do these more effectively and in a way that is most responsive to our colleagues.

The graphic below shows the blog posts most strongly visited in the last thirty days. Some are written entries and others are podcast recordings. It is my intention to continue to host these podcasts and to interview some of the leading character coaches and sports chaplains from around the USA and the world.

I would welcome your input for shaping the upcoming podcasts. Please reply via email to RLipe@fca.org if you would like to be, or would suggest someone, as a guest panelist for one of the podcasts listed below. I’ll be gathering names and information for the first three calls during the spring and summer.


These are the proposed topics for the next eleven monthly podcasts. An informal survey via SMS messages indicated strong interest and some volunteered to participate.
