Chaplain | Missionary

I serve New England with Hockey Ministries International. My goal is to establish chapels with every team in the region and a youth christian hockey camp to train up the next generation both on and off the ice.

Pastor | Speaker

Teaching Scripture and encouraging spiritual growth in every setting is a call I know the Lord has put on my life. Through every opportunity I aim to inspire faith, provide biblical insight, and point people toward the hope found in Christ.

Author | Podcaster

My heart is to share biblical insight and stories of faith through articles, devotionals, and conversations. Through these platforms, I aim to encourage spiritual growth, inspire reflection, and point readers and listeners toward the hope found in Christ.

When I reflect back on the impact that chapel had on myself and the season I was able to put together, I think it had more of an impact than I even realize. I just think being able to have some of my teammates and Sam talk about how powerful Jesus is in all our lives was a great stress reliever to be honest.

Chapel has helped me learn more about the Bible through our conversational approach, instead of feeling like I’m in a classroom getting lectured. Since attending Chapel I have started reading the New Testament, which has helped me immensely with confidence. I have implemented lessons from our weekly meetings into my daily life that will stick with me forever.

Being able to learn about the Bible with Sam and ask questions or discuss with my teammates has helped me dive into my faith even more. Sam always brings great energy to the meetings and finds unique ways to relate the Bible to our daily lives. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed making chapel apart of my weekly routine whether it is meeting up at a coffee shop or at the rink.

Through conversation in chapel sessions, I have found that the stronger my connection is to Jesus and my faith, the more confident I am in my goals and what I want to achieve every day. Sam’s love for hockey paired with his understanding and knowledge of the Bible are the perfect combination for him to create a meaningful message of sport and faith.
