Steve Chatman: Dad Series

“Rising Above as a Dad Part 1” with Steve Chatman

We are so excited to have Steve Chatman on to the podcast today. Steve is the Vice President at Rising Above Ministries, a nonprofit in Tennessee that is dedicated to lifting up the special needs community. As both a ministry leader and a dad with special needs children, Steve brings a wealth of insight and experience to share with us on the podcast today. This is the first part of a two part series focused on dads. Let’s get started.

Steve is Vice President of Ministry Advancement & Pastoral Care at Rising Above Ministries. Steve is married to Lori Ann and they have 5 Children and 3 Grandkids. Steve has been ministering to families since 1993 and he loves to teach, counsel, encourage, entertain, and resource others. Before joining the staff at Rising Above, Steve and his wife Lori were active participants and volunteers for many years. As a dad with children with special needs (Steve and Lori have two daughters with Down Syndrome), he has a huge heart for the special needs community. As VP for Ministry advancement and Pastoral Care, Steve oversees our ministry to families as well as connecting with the local church and community organizations to help them better engage and serve the special needs community.

In his spare time he enjoys taking naps, watching movies with his family, eating donuts at the beach (or anywhere), playing fantasy football, and he hopes to one day play the banjo.
