THE CHAPLAIN AND THE DOCTOR is filled with warmth and humor, this buddy film follows two unlikely allies working to bring curiosity, connection, and compassion to a broken healthcare system - one patient at a time. Betty Clark is an 80-year-old, African American chaplain on staff at The Wilma Chan Highland Hospital Campus, the level-one trauma center in Oakland, California.

Jessica Zitter is a white Jewish physician who has been Betty’s colleague on the Palliative Care service for over a decade. The two women are an unlikely team: chaplains and doctors do not usually pair up within the hierarchical and siloed halls of the hospital.

Dr. Zitter, trained to believe in medical interventions and science, was not seeking a relationship with a chaplain. And Chaplain Clark never expected the doctor to take interest in her work.  But with time, the two women’s shared values and history overcome the forces that keep them apart, and they go on to do their best work together. 

THE CHAPLAIN & THE DOCTOR models a new kind of care, one that honors both spirit and body, the diverse backgrounds of patients, and the most human needs we all share. 

This is a must see film documentary not just about the story of two women who take their purpose and professions to help others, but we see that it help each other to become even better versions of themselves. #healtcare #doctor #chaplain #documentary #film #filmmaker #filmmaking #filmdirector #bondoncinema #medicine #faith #spiritual #healing

country superstar Sammy Sadler. Who continues to honor the legacy of ’80s and ’90s country with the release of his latest single, “If I Had A Cheating Heart.” Originally a Top 10 hit for Mel Street in 1978, the song was later re-recorded by Ricky Lynn Gregg in 1993, reaching the Top 40. Written by Wayland Holyfield and Al Turney, “If I Had a Cheating Heart” has become a favorite among country traditionalists.

Sammy Sadler’s take on the classic track proves that his timeless style continues to resonate with fans of authentic country music. With a career shaped by determination and raw talent, Sammy Sadler has carved out a story all his own in Nashville.

He first gained national attention in 1989 with his charting rendition of Aaron Neville’s “Tell It Like It Is,” followed by “You Made It Easy.” But his momentum was cut short when he was seriously wounded in the same shooting that took the life of Cash Box chart director Kevin Hughes—an incident that became known as the “Murder on Music Row.”

But Sammy Sadler is excited to be doing select shows with singer-songwriter Dave Gibson on their ‘Hits & History Tour. #countrymusic #countrymusiclover #countryradio #musicrow

My guest today is author Jack Watts. Having written thirty-four books and screenplays, including nine biographies, six of them commissioned, he received his AB from Georgia State University, his MA in Church-State Studies from Baylor University, and all but his dissertation for a PhD from Emory University.

He has co-authored his newest book along with Tom David, Jr, AN AMERICAN HERO: ONE MAN’S LEGACY OF FATHERHOOD AND FAITH. 

The book pays homage to Tom Davis’ father, “Jimmy” Davis, who overcame impossible odds as a child after being dumped at an orphanage by his degenerate father, who he never saw again. 

Pulling himself up by the bootstraps, Jimmy got an education and then sneaked into the army underage—rising through the ranks to become a WWII decorated officer—fighting in The Battle of the Bulge. But there is so much more to the story.
