The Healing Impact of Corporate Chaplains | Steve Cook

In this fresh UpWords conversation with Steve Cook—President of Workplace Chaplaincy Foundation, Inc. and Executive Director of Operations at Marketplace Chaplains—we learn how workplace chaplains can powerfully influence the stability and wellbeing of workplaces.  Steve’s 40 years of experience speak to questions that often weigh on marketplace professionals and pastors: What does a corporate chaplain actually do? How might faith, empathy, and corporate responsibility intersect and benefit both employees and business? What goes into building a corporate culture that elevates compassion, ethics, and trust? Tune in for Steve’s answers, and look below for some of his guiding principles. ----Link to the St. Martin of Tours story (see page 5): http://www.preciousheart.net/chaplaincy/Chaplain-Etymology.pdf ---Principles for Chaplains, “good Samaritans,” and “good neighbors” to follow:Bathe in prayerBe availableDo some life togetherBe patient and be faithfulWait to be invited inRely on the Holy SpiritWatch God at work! Send us Fan MailCONNECT WITH USSubscribe to The UpWords Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts and visit slbf.org/studio to learn more about our work at the intersection of faith, the academy, and the marketplace.This episode was created by the SLBF STUDIO at Upper House.Produced by Daniel Johnson and Dave ConourEdited by Dave Conour
