Why TNI Chapters Need Chaplains?

In high-pressure business environments, leaders face spiritual, emotional, and moral challenges, the issues of faith and business integration, that secular frameworks often overlook. The chaplain addresses these gaps by:

• Providing spiritual mentorship to navigate stress, burnout, and existential questions.

• Guiding ethical decision-making through Scripture-based principles.

• Strengthening group cohesion through shared Christian values.

• Helping leaders view their work as a divine calling, aligning business practices with God’s purpose [where business and faith intersect]
