Interview 101: The World at Our Doorstep: Chaplaincy Ministry to Scouting America (Alan Ashley)

We are wrapping up our interviews for the November/December issue of FrontLine with this podcast. This interview is unique among all the others for this issue of the magazine as it combines the theme “Raising Children to be Adults in an Adolescent World” with a chaplains report.

Alan Ashley is an FBFI endorsed chaplain with the Boy Scouts of America. As his son was growing up, he had a lot of involvement in Scouting and continues to have as a chaplain. You will hear some great accounts of what Alan is doing with Scouting these days, it’s really a blessing to see him have this opportunity.

We also discuss some of the controversy around recent changes to the Boy Scouts. Alan has thought through his position very carefully and still has a tremendous opportunity to share the gospel in the organization. He also gives us insight in how to get involved if anyone is interested.

Now, let me remind you that Alan’s article is available on our substack right away for paying subscribers. We have previews for everyone else. I hope you will join with us and support the ministry of the FBFI by becoming a paying subscriber.
