  • 🎙️ "Can an Atheist Be a Chaplain?"

    Can someone who doesn’t believe in God offer spiritual care? Can an atheist step into the deeply personal role of a chaplain and provide comfort, guidance, and connection? Spoiler alert: not only can they—but they might be the most qualified to do so.

    In this episode of The Godless Guide, I’ll share my journey from Lutheran pastor to atheist hospice chaplain and why I believe nonbelievers are uniquely equipped to support people from all walks of life. We’ll unpack the myths about chaplaincy, dive into what it truly means to provide existential care, and explore how atheists can build bridges across belief systems with empathy and understanding.

    Whether you’re an ex-religious individual, a secular thinker, or simply curious about how faith—or the lack of it—intersects with chaplaincy, this episode is for you. Tune in to hear real-life stories from the front lines of hospice care and discover how atheists are redefining what it means to care for the human spirit.
