What's Inside
This guide is based on what BCCI committees actually evaluate — not general writing advice.
The most common reason for deferral — writing about what you do instead of showing a specific moment where you did it.
BCCI expects chaplains to ground their practice in identifiable theory. Many skip this entirely.
Depth beats breadth. A single rich example is worth more than five paragraphs of generalities.
The committee already knows where your writing is thin before you walk in the room.
The chaplains who pass on the first appearance almost always received substantive feedback — and revised based on it.
"I built this tool because I've been through the board certification process myself. I know the anxiety of staring at a blank page, trying to articulate years of ministry in language the committee will recognize. This guide — and the app — give you the feedback I wish I'd had."
