In early September, 2023, the Texas legislature passed a bill allowing (unlicensed) chaplains to act as public school counselors. Derek & Chris react, um, let's say, strongly against this law. Enjoy!
Errata: while describing the CPE program, I say something about having to do 15-20 hours of actual chaplaincy which is wildly inaccurate and very low. It is more 15-20 hours a week and really, it is best if one has the time to do fulltime chaplaincy. Indeed, part of the challenge of CPE is immersing oneself into the program. Another part of the challenge I do not explicitly mention is how traumatizing it is to see all the horrible things one sees as a chaplain. As a chaplain being a chaplain, I have a couple methods for working through rough days. During CPE, each day is rough and the necessary review and introspection of the program makes it much more difficult to "let go" of the bad and sad.
