Carl Ricketts, Jr. MDiv, BCC is a Chaplain and Director of Chaplain Services at Loma Linda University Health. We spoke with Carl about the impact COVID-19 has on chaplains' ability to provide spiritual care to families and how the effects of the pandemic will likely impact clinical ministry in the future.

Carl also shares information about a number of ministries he supports ranging from helping homeless in the Inland Empire, Los Angeles, and New York to connecting with individuals who are quarantined, isolated, and alone at home.

You can check out all of the ministries and services Carl discussed in our conversation below and feel free to donate and support Behind the Song and Simpli Service at https://www.gofundme.com/f/behind-the-song

We hope you enjoy Carl Rickets, COVID-19 Effects on Spiritual Care.
