Jared

Chaplain Jared Anderson, MA, MDiv, BCC

The compass collects lessons from decades studying the human experience and years serving those who serve at the extremes. As a state military Risk Reduction Coordinator, Jared surveys a force of over seven thousand Service Members to understand what causes them stress and what they want help with. As a chaplain, he has been with people in their hardest moments, helping them move forward when it feels impossible, hold still when needed, and make some sense of it all.

He’s always looking for the little things that make the biggest difference, for better and worse. One of his favorite insights is that even asking what we need next helps us focus and function better.

“One of the most important things I have learned is that it doesn’t take much to destroy a life. One of the most hopeful is that it doesn’t take much to save one.”
