Ep 2063: Faith in Flight at DFW

Even if we don’t think about it, when we go to the airport, we surrender control. And that can be the perfect context for having an encounter with Jesus. In this episode of iWork4Him, hosts Jim and Martha Brangenberg welcome Greg McBrayer, Chief Flight Dispatcher and Corporate Chaplain at American Airlines. With over 46 years at American Airlines, Greg reflects on the huge impact 9/11 had on his life, when amidst the chaos he told God “we need You here” and God answered “that’s why I placed you here.” And soon after Greg became a chaplain.  

There's often an overwhelming need for spiritual care in the aviation industry, especially during crises, and Greg’s presence has ministered to both employees and travelers at Dallas Fort Worth Airport (DFW). Last year alone, the 30 chaplains serving at DFW completed nearly 40,000 touchpoints, offering comfort and guidance to those in need.  

Greg shares insights on integrating faith at work and building relationships with corporate leadership to foster a culture of care. He also discusses the growing need for chaplains in workplaces today, encouraging organizations to consider the benefits of spiritual care for employees. Even if you’re not a chaplain, Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are a fantastic tool to show care for coworkers and customers. Tune in to hear how God is working through Greg to bring hope and support to many in the airline industry.
