It is with joyful mourning I share with you all that October 31st will be my last day as a full time chaplain with Braveheart.

Go Slow To Go Fast

Victory is achieved because a team chooses to join together in a common mission with an unwavering commitment to completing …

For this day the ancient slavery is ended, the devil confounded, the demons take to flight, the power of death is broken, paradise is unlocked, the curse is taken away, sin is removed from us, error-driven out, truth has been brought back, the speech of kindliness diffused, and spreads on every …
You Were There For Us
“You were there for us!” Braveheart chaplains hear this declaration with some regularity. Whether a few days after a scene or months later, this is frequently expressed.
