Chaplains Ikki Soma & Reza Zadeh on Damar Hamlin Sports Spectrum's Inside the Chapel

    • Christianity

This week we're doing something a little different on Inside the Chapel. Instead of hearing a message from a guest chaplain, the show's co-hosts, Ikki Soma and Reza Zadeh, have a conversation processing Buffalo Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin's on-field collapse a couple weeks and where their roles as chaplains come into play when something like that happens.

Soma serves with the NBA's Houston Rockets while Zadeh serves the Denver Broncos. Zadeh shares what it was like being in an NFL facility in the wake of the incident and gives some insight on how he and other NFL chaplains served their teams in the days that followed. Chaplain serve a unique role within professional sports organizations, and this conversation offers a peek into how important their role is during tragedies or hard circumstances.
