BIO:

Eric Chaffin is an ordained minister and Chairman-Founder of 3:14 Ministries, Inc., whose purpose is to lead athletes, students, sports fan and more to a deeper relationship with Christ. As the name suggests, 3:14 Ministries is based upon Philippians 3:14, which says, “I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Since 1992, Eric Chaffin has been speaking to children, teens, singles, college students, men’s groups, churches, civic clubs, and other groups, numbering from 6 to 6000. Whether it’s been drug prevention lectures, crusades, team chapels or Monday Night Fellowship bible studies, Eric’s messages have always been relevant, dynamic and scripturally sound.

In addition to his work with 3:14, Eric spent twelve years with the SANE ministry, a faith-based morals education program. He joined the staff of SANE in 1992, and in 2001 was named Executive Director. Eric’s work with SANE afforded him the opportunity to preach and teach all over Oklahoma, including stops at Falls Creek Assembly in 1994 and 1995, and Children’s Falls Creek from 1995 through 2000. Eric’s love of sports is often evident in his preaching and teaching, and he recognizes the effectiveness of expressing Biblical themes in athletic terms. He has penned a sports-themed devotional book entitled, Finish Strong: Tackling Life Head On. He serves as the team chaplain for the Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz arena football team, and since 1998, he has been the coordinator of the Monday Night Fellowship ministry of Eagle Heights Church in Oklahoma City. Prior to his call to go “in SANE,” Eric spent a number of years working in radio, utilizing his talents in programming, production and as an on-air personality. His most memorable radio moments came as one half of the morning team of “Smith & Wesson” on KOLT 106 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. While in Albuquerque, Eric won local and regional “Addie” awards for best commercial spot. He also performed in five musical productions with the Albuquerque Civic Light Opera, garnering lead roles in three of them. In 1987, Eric graduated from Southwest Baptist University with a degree in Communication and a minor in Biblical Studies. While at SBU, Eric earned national awards of excellence in Speech, and an Outstanding Performance Award for his role in the biblical drama, Gideon. Eric has an additional diploma in Biblical Studies from Liberty University’s Institute of Biblical Studies.

Eric lives in Moore, Oklahoma with his wife, Kristi, and their four children: Ryan, Ben, Katie and Luke. In High School, Eric shot an amazing 15% from the free throw line and ran the 40-yard dash in 4.4…minutes!
