Humanism at the Bedside: Chaplaincy Without God

What does it mean to provide spiritual care when you don’t believe in God? In this episode of The Chaplain’s Compass, Alice Tremaine and John Betz talk with Chaplain Ben Iten—ACPE educator, hospital chaplain, and Vice President of the Humanist Society. Ben shares his journey from Christian theology to humanist chaplaincy, how meaning-making guides his work, and what it means to serve patients who identify as secular, atheist, or spiritual-but-not-religious.
