Paul Buckner

Paul Buckner who is one of the Church Safety Guys, contacted me about a situation that happened at a church near him that he was consulting with.  This is a a great example of how fast something can go so wrong and fortunately for this church there was no loss of life.  As we unpack this incident there are a lot of other things within this that are discussed and I am sure that it could go even deeper in your own training.

Vince Harrison

Vince is a wealth of knowledge and experience that he is allowing God to use in a variety of ways in his life.  We never know when evil is going to show up and are we prepared for when that happens?  Vince has an incredible story of just that and how the vigilance Vince showed and God's protection made a difference.

Tim Rupp

Tim has been a pastor over many years for a couple of different congregations and I think that it is with that pastor’s heart that he is able to combine both the security aspect and the ministry aspect so well.  Not everyone that was prior law enforcement or military can combine their experience in those fields with a heart and mindset for ministry.

Kristin Woolley

Since we view security as a total team concept, a vital part of that team are the people leading the worship.  If Jesus could be interrupted when he was in church, there is no reason for us to think that it won't happen in our churches and it has in many.  The conversation with Kristin addresses issues that have or could arise during the service.  Hopefully this conversation will generate more conversations in your church with your worship leaders.

Sue has been involved in Children’s Ministries for 35 years and in that time has seen where the kids were allowed to just leave after class to where we need to be now in securing the children.  This podcast is for every church and children's worker.  Audio is not as good as I would have liked but the content was too good to re-record with Sue.

Rick Hunt

Rick Hunt is a 31-year police veteran.  Rick is now the director of security at his church where he leads his team and uses his skills and experience to train them and others in his community.  Rick has a training business on the side called Hunt’s Alley where he operates a decisional shoot and scenario training simulator. Rick was asked to review the video from the West Freeway Church of Christ Active killer event that took place on Sunday 12/29/2019 and to give his assessment from what he observed.  In that process he came up with multiple training points and it is those points that we discuss in this podcast.  This podcast does run much longer then I usually post for a podcast but it is a topic of discussion that I figured people would want to hear the whole podcast together and not wait until the next week for the rest of the discussion.

Jimmy Meeks

It is surprising that there are still a large number of churches in this country that don’t believe that evil will ever touch them.  Because this is their belief, they don’t often know why it is important.  Jimmy Meeks is the owner and seminar speaker for Sheepdog Seminars where they focus on communicating “Why” church security is important to churches.  This is what is discussed with Jimmy in this podcast as he not only communicates the practical but the scriptural basis for church security.  https://www.sheepdogsafetytraining.com/ As you will hear our partnership with Sheepdog Seminars has been a good fit for many years as we move the message from the “Why” to “How” to do it well.  www.cv-ministries.com.
