Since 1993, Chaplain Davis has served as a Specialized Physical Fitness Instructor with the NC Justice Academy and has used this experience to help develop a Wellness Program for the Sheriff’s Office to foster better individual and organizational health among law enforcement officers.

He has also completed Intentional Interim Ministry Training and has led workshops on community crisis response, critical incident stress management, death notification and traumatic grief for many professional groups, including the International Conference of Police Chaplains, school counselors, Victim Assistance Networks, the Southern Baptist Convention's Disaster Relief personnel, law enforcement agencies, WFUBMC’s Annual Trauma Conference, pastoral care staff and other hospital chaplains, Motor Sports/NASCAR chaplains, Hospices, and ministerial associations.
