Facing the Giants

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on June 27, 2018 by Steve DurkacJune 27, 2018

Facing the giants in life is easy, or at least we could admit that the giants in a man’s life are plentiful. We are often forced to face our giants when we leave work on Friday wondering we’ll return to job loss on Monday, or when we walk into the kitchen and see the pile of unpaid bills on counter, … Continue reading →

George Carlin?

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on June 19, 2018 by Steve DurkacJune 19, 2018

While working with Hurricane Katrina victims, as a hospital chaplain, I was struck by the quick turn-around one patient took, when he suddenly found something to laugh about.

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on June 8, 2018 by Steve DurkacJune 8, 2018

I just watched a documentary video on the issue of children and youth leaving their parents faith and practices behind as they enter adulthood. The YouTube video documentary is embedded below and the link is too, because I am aware now that sometimes the embedded video doesn’t always show. (It is at https://youtu.be/3fKsWait2pE) We’ve all heard that upward of 80% of … Continue reading →

Why “No Pastor” in House Church?

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on June 5, 2018 by Steve DurkacJune 5, 2018
