Today on the podcast, it is part 2 of my conversation with Jordan Medas. Jordan serves as a volunteer chaplain with Soccer Chaplains United and as the East Coast Chaplain Manager.

Jordan and I continue our reflections about the 2022 Men’s World Cup Devotional and the subsequent (2024) revision, The Light is Coming. Jordan and I both served as authors for this 8-week devotional which combines themes of faith and football (soccer).

We close out the conversation with a fun game of Crosses with Rev, one which requires a VAR review to see if he scored the last question before time was up!

From the Touchline is a short-feature (10-15 min) podcast with Rev Brad Kenney, Founder and Executive Director of Soccer Chaplains United and Volunteer Chaplain to the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer. Rev Brad and occasional guests touch on various issues around the topics of faith, family, and football (soccer).

Today on the podcast, I am joined by Jordan Medas. Jordan is a volunteer chaplain with Soccer Chaplains United and he serves as the East Coast Chaplain Manager. Jordan’s first time on the podcast, we take a little bit of time to get to know him better and understand his story of coming to serve with Soccer Chaplains United.

Jordan and I also take a look back at the 2022 Men’s World Cup Devotional and the subsequent (2024) revision, The Light is Coming. Jordan served as one of three authors. The revision as well s the original devotional (along with translations into Spanish and Portuguese) are still available on Amazon. With so much soccer going on in this month of June (Euros, international breaks, and Olympic call ups) we reflect back on one of the first writings and publications that we made around a major soccer event.

We continue the conversation in part 2 (next week) with a fun game of Crosses with Rev! You won’t want to miss it.

Jordan Medas to Lead Up East Coast

,

Today, I am really pleased to announce that volunteer chaplain, Jordan Medas, has offered to step into a role serving Soccer Chaplains United as the East Coast Chaplaincy Manager. With the appointment, Jordan becomes the second chaplain manager and pairs with Jubal McDaniel who serves on the west coast.

The chaplain growth of 2023 (8 chaplains and 40% growth) has led to an increase in the importance of supporting existing chaplains all while continuing to discover and develop new chaplains. While still fairly new role, the chaplain managers (both Jordan and Jubal) are tasked with 1) supporting chaplains within their particular timezones and 2) working to discover and develop out new chaplains for new chaplain opportunities that arise.

Despite being a Liverpool supporter, I’ve had to be ok with Jordan becoming a chaplain manager

Jordan joined Soccer Chaplains United in June of 2021 and served regionally in Orange, VA. In 2023, he transitioned to serving a youth club which has since become a Fellowship of Christian Athletes sponsored club. Jordan’s role as chaplain as shifted and he has been freed up to work more with Soccer Chaplains United administratively and helping with chaplain support.

As Soccer Chaplains United continues to grow (about to break 30 chaplains) we are aiming to retain a high-level and standard which is guided by our common code of conduct and fairly strict, professional standards. Adding Jordan to help us manage the growth is a key part of seeing what God is doing through Soccer Chaplains United

Today, on the From the Touchline podcast, Rev Jordan Medas reads the Halftime reflection for Week 6, entitled: Not a Forced Peace. There is “world peace” and then there is God’s peace — and the two are very different. World peace is often accomplished by military might and governmental oppression and we might wonder if it really is peace or more so imperialism. God’ peace is different and Rev Jordan shares more on today’s podcast.
