Chief Counselor Chaz Watkins — A Life of Faith, Experience, and Purpose
Chief Counselor Chaz Watkins is a minister, author, counselor, entrepreneur, builder, mentor, husband, father, and community advocate whose life has crossed many different worlds. His greatest attribute may be that he has not allowed himself to be defined by only one chapter of his life.
Born in Pittsburgh and shaped by experiences in Texas, California, Louisiana, Georgia, and beyond, Chaz Watkins has spent decades learning about people—not simply through education or observation, but through living. His experiences have included ministry, marriage and family, construction, real estate and mortgage work, trucking, business ownership, personal hardship, physical injury, legal battles, financial challenges, and rebuilding after setbacks.
A Man of Faith
At the center of his identity is his Christian faith. Having spent approximately five decades in ministry, Chaz does not approach Christianity merely as religion or tradition. His writings consistently search for the meaning behind Scripture—revelation, prayer, faith, spiritual gifts, character, accountability, mortality, and man's relationship with God.
His approach asks deeper questions:
What does this Scripture actually mean? How should it affect the way a person lives? What does God expect from us? And are we merely practicing religion, or are we actually developing spiritually?
That search for understanding is evident throughout his books.
A Builder in More Than One Sense
Chaz Watkins has been involved in construction for decades, becoming a licensed and bonded general contractor and working in multiple states. That background created another important part of his personality: he thinks like a builder.
A builder starts with what exists, determines what is missing, develops a plan, and works toward a finished result.
That philosophy extends far beyond houses.
He applies it to people, families, marriages, finances, faith, young people, businesses, and communities.
Rather than simply identifying problems, his natural tendency is to ask:
“How do we fix it?”
An Author With an Unusually Broad Message
His books demonstrate the range of his interests and experience. He has written and developed works concerning his own life story, prayer, divine revelation, speaking in tongues, godly character, marriage, homeownership, construction, youth intervention, and mortality.
Although the subjects appear different, a common idea connects them:
People can become better when they are given understanding, structure, opportunity, faith, and direction.
His writing is therefore less about displaying academic knowledge and more about transferring lived knowledge.
He wants the reader to be able to do something with what has been learned.
A Counselor and Mentor
The title “Chief Counselor” reflects another dimension of his work.
Chaz has a strong interest in understanding why people behave as they do. He frequently examines character, motives, relationships, consequences, decision-making, spiritual development, and the environment surrounding an individual.
That concern is especially evident in his work with the Youth Environment Success Project (Y.E.S. Project). His vision is not simply to tell troubled young people to stop doing wrong. It is to change the environment, thinking, exposure, relationships, opportunities, and sense of purpose that influence their choices.
His philosophy recognizes that young people need more than criticism.
They need mentorship, alternatives, discipline, exposure, education, opportunity, character development, and people who refuse to give up on them.
A Family Man With a Long View of Relationships
Marriage, children, grandchildren, and succeeding generations occupy an important place in Chaz's thinking.
His perspective on marriage reflects longevity rather than romance alone. He sees commitment as something tested over decades through disagreements, changing circumstances, mistakes, forgiveness, growth, responsibility, and spiritual maturity.
Likewise, his concern for children goes beyond his immediate family. He thinks generationally: What are we leaving behind? What have our children learned from us? What happens to the next generation if today's adults fail to teach them?
Resilient, Independent, and Persistent
Another recurring characteristic is persistence.
When Chaz believes something is unfinished, incorrect, unfair, or can be improved, he tends not to simply accept it. He questions it, revisits it, researches it, restructures it, and continues working on it.
That quality can be seen in his business career, his construction work, his books, his legal matters, his ministry, and even the detailed attention he gives to publishing a book correctly.
He is willing to start over when necessary.
His life has contained successes and failures, prosperity and setbacks, physical hardship and recovery, accomplishments and unfinished business. Instead of attempting to erase those contradictions, his writing increasingly uses them as teaching material.
His Greatest Theme: Purpose
Perhaps the strongest thread running through Chaz Watkins' work is purpose.
His message is not that a person's past does not matter. His message is that the past does not have to be the final chapter.
A person can examine where he has been, acknowledge mistakes, recognize what God has given him, learn from experience, repair what can still be repaired, and determine what his remaining years will accomplish.
That is particularly evident in Time to Consider Your Deathbed. Beneath the subject of death is actually a question about life:
If you knew that one day you would have to examine the life you lived, what would you change while you still have time?
That question captures much of what Chief Counselor Chaz Watkins represents.
He is a man who has built houses, built businesses, raised a family, preached the Gospel, driven America's highways, experienced adversity, written books, counseled people, challenged conventional thinking, and continued searching for deeper spiritual understanding.
And at this stage of his life, his emphasis appears increasingly clear:
Take everything life has taught you and turn it into something that can help somebody else.
That may ultimately be one of the most important attributes of Chief Counselor Chaz Watkins—the desire not merely to have lived a long and eventful life, but to make the lessons from that life useful to the generations coming behind him.
Find clarity, purpose, and deep inner peace. Our spiritual guidance enables you to align your core beliefs with intentional daily living and lasting fulfillment.
Mental wellness
Mental, Emotional & Spiritual Well-Being
Understanding the Mind — Strengthening the Person — Restoring Purpose
Mental well-being involves more than what a person is thinking at a particular moment. Our thoughts, memories, experiences, relationships, environment, fears, disappointments, regrets, beliefs, and sense of identity can all influence the way we see ourselves and respond to the world around us.
Our approach begins with an important principle: before we can properly address behavior, we should try to understand what may be happening within the person.
A troubled mind does not always announce itself clearly. Emotional pain may appear as anger. Fear may appear as aggression. Rejection may produce isolation. Trauma may influence trust. A lack of belonging can make unhealthy relationships seem attractive. Guilt and regret can remain hidden for years, while unresolved conflict can continue affecting families and relationships.
For young people especially, family instability, trauma, negative peer influence, violence, social media, rejection, abuse, neglect, and the need to belong can have a powerful influence on identity and behavior. Intervention should therefore address harmful conduct while never losing sight of the individual's value, abilities, potential, and future. Time to Consider Your Deathbed(…
The Mind Needs Direction
The mind is continually processing experiences, memories, possibilities, fears, decisions, and consequences. When thoughts have no healthy direction, a person can become consumed by worry, fear, anger, overthinking, destructive influences, or unresolved experiences.
Mental and emotional strength includes learning to examine our thoughts rather than automatically allowing every thought to control our actions.
This means developing greater self-awareness, self-control, accountability, healthy relationships, forgiveness, constructive decision-making, and purpose.
It also means recognizing that some things cannot be changed. The past cannot be rewritten, but its influence on the present can be examined. Mistakes can become instruction. Pain can lead to greater understanding. Broken relationships can sometimes be repaired. Forgiveness can release emotional burdens, and accountability can become the beginning of change.
Identity, Belonging and Purpose
One of the most important questions a person can ask is:
“Who am I, and what is directing my life?”
People need belonging, but where we seek that belonging matters.
When healthy identity and purpose are absent, individuals—particularly young people—may look for acceptance in destructive relationships, gangs, unhealthy peer groups, social-media identities, substance use, criminal activity, or other environments that temporarily provide a sense of significance.
Healthy development requires something stronger to replace those influences: family connection, mentoring, education, productive relationships, character, responsibility, spiritual development, opportunity, and purpose.
This philosophy is central to the Youth Environment Success Project's approach to helping young people affected by destructive environments. Time to Consider Your Deathbed(…
Mental Health and Spiritual Well-Being
We also recognize the spiritual dimension of human life.
Faith, prayer, forgiveness, hope, character, reconciliation, accountability, and a sense of purpose can be meaningful parts of a person's overall well-being. Spiritual support, however, should not be used to dismiss genuine psychological or emotional difficulties.
There are circumstances in which professional counseling, mental-health services, medical care, crisis intervention, or other qualified assistance is necessary. Families should not feel that they must handle every serious situation alone. Your youth material specifically emphasizes involving professional help when risks exceed what families and mentors can safely manage. Time_to_Consider_Your_Deathbed_…
Examine the Life Behind the Thoughts
Mental well-being also requires honest self-examination.
What am I carrying that I have never addressed?
What am I afraid of?
What relationships remain broken?
Who do I need to forgive?
Is guilt from my past controlling my present?
What influences are directing my decisions?
What gives my life meaning?
What kind of person am I becoming?
And what can I change while I still have the opportunity?
These questions connect mental well-being with one of the central teachings of Time to Consider Your Deathbed: contemplating mortality is not merely about preparing to die—it can become a reason to examine how we are living now. The manuscript explores the mind through thoughts, memories, regrets, guilt, reconciliation, identity, family, forgiveness and personal accountability. Time_to_Consider_Your_Deathbed_…
Our purpose is not to label people by their struggles. It is to encourage understanding, healthy thinking, personal responsibility, stronger relationships, spiritual development, appropriate professional support, and a renewed sense of direction and purpose.
Educational and spiritual information presented here is not a diagnosis and is not a substitute for evaluation, counseling, treatment, or medical care from qualified mental-health or healthcare professionals. Time_to_Consider_Your_Deathbed_…
This would work well as the foundation for a “Mental & Emotional Well-Being” section on your Chief Counselor Chaz or Y.E.S. Project website because it combines the principles from your different books into one unified message rather than presenting it as material from only one book
overcoming emotional obstacles, manage stress, and build cognitive resilience with proven counseling techniques crafted to bring long-term psychological strength.
Physical vitality
Understanding, Caring for, and Preparing the Physical Body
Physical vitality is about understanding the body we live in, accepting its limitations, and taking responsibility for its care while we still have the opportunity to do so.
The human body is our physical connection to this world. Through it we see, hear, touch, move, work, communicate, build relationships, experience pleasure and pain, and carry out the responsibilities and purposes of everyday life. Yet the body is not permanent. From the moment life begins, the physical body is continually changing, and eventually every human body reaches limitations it cannot overcome.
Time to Consider Your Deathbed asks us to look at the body from a perspective that many people avoid: What happens when the physical body can no longer do what it once did? Strength can diminish. Movement can become difficult. Pain can become part of everyday life. The body can become dependent upon other people. Illness or physical decline can change our independence and force us to confront the reality that physical strength alone cannot sustain life forever.
But recognizing mortality is not an invitation to neglect the body. It is a reason to value it more responsibly while we have it.
Physical vitality therefore includes paying attention to the condition of our bodies and confronting the health responsibilities we may have postponed. It means recognizing physical warning signs, obtaining appropriate medical attention, understanding our physical limitations, and making responsible decisions concerning our care. The book challenges us to ask a very practical question: “What health responsibility have I delayed?”
The physical body is also connected to the mind and spirit. Physical pain can influence our thoughts and emotions. Fear can become stronger when the body is failing. Loss of independence can affect identity. Serious illness can cause a person to reconsider relationships, priorities, unfinished responsibilities, faith, and even the meaning of life itself. This is why the book examines the body, mind, and spirit together rather than treating them as completely separate parts of human existence.
Physical vitality also includes preparation. Caring for the body means more than responding to today's physical condition. It means making sure trusted people understand important medical information and wishes, addressing responsibilities before a crisis occurs, and recognizing that preparation is an act of wisdom rather than fear.
From a Christian perspective, the physical body also carries spiritual significance. Scripture describes the body as something wonderfully made by God and something entrusted to our care. We therefore have a responsibility to respect the body without worshiping physical appearance, strength, youth, or health as though they will last forever.
The central principle is simple:
Take care of the body—but understand what the body is and what it is not.
The body is important, but it is temporary. Physical strength is valuable, but it cannot prevent mortality. Health deserves attention, but health alone does not define the value of a human life.
Physical vitality is therefore about living responsibly within the body we have today while preparing wisely for the changes that eventually come with human life. It encourages us to appreciate physical ability while we possess it, address health responsibilities rather than continually postponing them, prepare for the possibility of physical dependence, and use the life and strength we have remaining for meaningful purposes.
The goal is not merely to add years to life. It is to understand the body, care for it responsibly, and make meaningful use of the life being carried within it.
That is the deeper meaning of Physical Vitality within the message of Time to Consider Your Deathbed: care for the body without pretending it is permanent—and use the time, strength, and opportunity you have today before the body eventually reaches the limits that every human being must face.
ivate practical daily habits and bodily wellness. True personal empowerment connects a healthy body directly with a focused mind and steady spirit.
Life & financial assets
Faith • Financial Understanding • Business • Property • Building • Ownership • Legacy
Life and finances are connected. The decisions we make about money influence where we live, what we own, the opportunities available to our families, the businesses we can build, and ultimately what we leave behind.
My approach to life and finances comes from decades of practical experience—as a minister, general contractor, entrepreneur, mortgage professional, property owner, truck driver, husband, father, and author. I have experienced periods of success as well as setbacks and have learned that financial progress is rarely produced by money alone. It requires knowledge, discipline, character, faith, planning, patience, relationships, and the willingness to act.
Building a Financial Life
Money should have a purpose. Earning is important, but earning without direction can still leave a person financially unstable.
A healthy financial life begins by understanding what comes in, what goes out, what is owed, what is owned, and what is being built for the future. It means learning the difference between simply spending money and using money strategically.
The objective is not merely to have more money. It is to develop the knowledge and discipline necessary to make better decisions with whatever resources are presently available.
That includes learning about budgeting, saving, credit, debt, financing, property, business, investing in productive assets, protecting what you acquire, and preparing something for the next generation.
Homeownership: Creating a Path When You Don't Have All the Money
One of the greatest financial obstacles many families face is believing that they must already possess substantial wealth before they can pursue homeownership.
There can be other legitimate paths.
My teachings on homeownership explore traditional purchasing as well as strategies such as lease-options and structured paths toward ownership. A person who cannot purchase today may be able to establish a plan that allows time to improve credit, save money, accumulate agreed purchase credits, increase income, and prepare for financing.
The principle is:
Don't simply ask, “Can I afford to buy this today?” Ask, “What legitimate path could position me to own it tomorrow?”
Buying with “no money” should never mean pretending that property has no cost. It means understanding how financing, negotiated terms, seller participation, partnerships, lease-options, available programs, equity, and creative but lawful agreements can sometimes reduce the amount of personal cash required upfront.
Every transaction still requires due diligence. Contracts, title, financing terms, property condition, taxes, insurance, affordability, and legal obligations must be understood before committing.
Be the Builder
The same principle applies to construction.
Many people believe the only way to build a house is to hand the entire project to a builder and accept the finished price. My construction experience teaches another possibility: understand the building process yourself.
Building a house requires coordination—land, plans, permits, site preparation, foundation, framing, roofing, mechanical systems, inspections, finishes, subcontractors, scheduling, materials, financing, and final completion.
You do not necessarily have to personally perform every trade to understand and manage the process.
The greater your understanding of how a project is assembled, the better prepared you are to ask questions, compare costs, recognize problems, negotiate, and protect your investment.
That is the philosophy behind Be the Builder:
Knowledge allows you to participate in the process instead of remaining completely dependent upon the process.
Business Ownership
Owning a business requires more than having a good idea.
A business owner must learn to make decisions when the outcome is uncertain. You must understand customers, pricing, expenses, contracts, taxes, insurance, employees or subcontractors, cash flow, marketing, risk, and responsibility.
Most importantly, business requires character.
Your reputation becomes part of your financial value. People remember whether you kept your word, completed your work, treated people properly, corrected mistakes, and fulfilled your agreements.
Profit matters, but sustainable business requires more than profit.
Character is also capital.
Turning Skills Into Assets
One of the greatest financial resources a person possesses may not initially appear on a bank statement.
It is what you know how to do.
A trade, profession, business skill, construction knowledge, sales ability, transportation experience, counseling ability, intellectual property, or specialized knowledge can produce income when developed properly.
A person should therefore ask:
What do I know? What can I do? What problem can I solve? Who needs that solution? And how can I turn that ability into legitimate income and eventually an asset?
That change in thinking can move a person from depending exclusively upon employment toward understanding entrepreneurship and ownership.
Recovering From Financial Setbacks
Life does not always follow the financial plan.
Businesses fail. Industries change. Property values move. Employment ends. Accidents happen. Health changes. Families encounter emergencies. Economic conditions can destroy plans that once appeared secure.
A financial setback should therefore be examined rather than merely mourned.
What happened? What can be recovered? What did the experience teach me? What resources remain? What can I rebuild differently?
Sometimes rebuilding begins with money. Sometimes it begins with knowledge, relationships, faith, reputation, experience, or simply the willingness to start again.
Faith and Finances
My spiritual teaching does not separate faith from responsibility.
Prayer is important, but prayer does not eliminate planning.
Faith does not mean ignoring bills, contracts, debt, credit, taxes, business responsibilities, or financial consequences. Faith should influence how we conduct ourselves while dealing with those responsibilities.
We pray for direction—and then we must be willing to act responsibly.
We ask God for opportunity—and then we must prepare ourselves to recognize and manage that opportunity.
We ask for provision—but we should also examine how we manage what has already been placed in our hands.
This is where spiritual development and financial development meet: faith, wisdom, stewardship, character, responsibility, and action.
Ownership With Purpose
There is a difference between simply possessing things and building something meaningful.
A house can provide stability for a family. Property can become an asset. A business can provide employment. Knowledge can be passed to children. Books can preserve lessons. A nonprofit can affect a community. Financial resources can create opportunities for people who come after us.
That leads to the larger question:
What are you building with your life?
The ultimate objective of Life & Finances is not simply becoming wealthy. It is learning how to live wisely, manage money responsibly, create legitimate opportunities, understand ownership, build assets, recover from setbacks, strengthen your family, practice good character, exercise faith, and leave something meaningful behind.
Money is a tool.
Knowledge is a tool.
Credit can be a tool.
Property is a tool.
Business is a tool.
Construction is a tool.
Experience is a tool.
And faith gives us a framework for determining how those tools should be used.
Life & Finances is about bringing all of those elements together—so that instead of merely making a living, we learn how to build a life.
