Dr. Lee Corder served as a sports chaplain for the Washington Redskins for over 20 years. Corder has served in multiple capacities over the years and has consistently had God lead him in his ministry. CEDE SPORTS sat down with Corder to discuss his ministry, his relationship with former Redskins Head Coach Joe Gibbs and tips for chaplains. CS: How long have you worked in sports chaplaincy? Corder: I actually worked with the federal government for a couple of years. I was a political science major, then worked in D.C., but got involved as a volunteer leader with Young Life. I went on staff with Young Life, and that's what led me to become a chaplain because we got to know Joe Gibbs through his sons, J.D. and Coy, who were involved in Young Life. When Joe needed another chaplain at Redskins Park, he asked me if I would fill in, and I did during training camp. He said, "Will you keep going?" And so I kept going for almost 20 years.
