What does it mean to be a chaplain for a college football team and a police department? In this episode of Church With No Walls, Ryan Dearbone sits down with Reverend Shawn Sales of Loving Springs Baptist Church in Glasgow, KY, to explore ministry beyond the traditional church setting. Reverend Sales shares how he serves as chaplain for WKU Football and the Bowling Green Police Department, offering spiritual guidance, support during crises, and a listening ear to those facing life's toughest challenges.
The conversation dives into the importance of meeting people where they are, the role of compassion over correction, the unique pressures faced by athletes and law enforcement officers, and the necessity of self-care for pastors and ministry leaders. Shawn also discusses why kindness is a powerful expression of faith and how the church can use modern platforms to reach people while remaining rooted in biblical community.

On this episode of Church With No Walls, host Ryan Dearbone brings back Professor Emeritus Dr. Larry Snyder for part one of a two-part conversation about faith, politics, and the separation of church and state. From the politics found throughout the Bible to the origins of America’s religious freedoms, the discussion explores how religion has shaped public life for centuries — and why those conversations still matter today. Together, they discuss the role of faith in government and the ongoing tension between personal beliefs and public policy in modern America. This is not a debate about who is right or wrong — it’s an honest conversation about one of the most complicated intersections in society today.
