A podcast for those who serve. The Chaplain’s Desk is a quiet place to pause, reflect, and reconnect with matters of faith, purpose, and perspective. Hosted by Chaplain Kurt Richey, this podcast is created especially for men and women in law enforcement — and for those who support them. Drawing from Scripture, lived experience, and years of pastoral and chaplaincy service, each episode offers thoughtful encouragement without politics, sensationalism, or noise.

These are conversations about calling, burden, restraint, and hope — spoken calmly, respectfully, and with deep appreciation for the work you do. New episodes release twice monthly, on the first and third Tuesdays at 8 a.m. Pull up a chair. You’re not alone.
