If you don't know who Lt. Col. Dave Grossman is, you might want to check out his full bio sometime, but you definitely will want to listen today.  For those that know who Col. Grossman is, you will understand that we cover a lot of topics here in a very short window of time.  I would highly encourage you to go to Amazon to check out the many resources that he has made available there.

I’m happy to have Dr. David Stephens back with me again today.  Dr. Stephens is the President and Founder of CorrValues, LLC.  Today we are going to talk about how sexual abuse in the church is so devastating and the steps a church can take to prevent it from happening to their ministry.

We talk about the importance of training on a regular basis and that there is so much that we need to be training on regularly.  Something that we want to incorporate into each of our Hands-On Seminars is a medical training.  Chris Stoehner is a highly experienced medical trainer and we just barely scratch the surface of what we could cover regarding the subject of medical trauma.

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.

Dr. Jeff Henry has been part of the life safety team at his church since 2008 when he was asked to be director and develop the necessary training program.  Jeff holds a variety of certifications from NRA, TASER, Sabre Red, and a minister.  Jeff does not settle for complacency but continues to train for himself and so that he can train others.

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.

In May of 2015, Officer Greg Stevens took on two terrorists that had driven from Arizona to Texas - with intentions of committing mass murder at a convention center. Officer Stevens shot both of them, saving countless lives. Greg attributes his actions to his years of training. 

Dr. Dave Stephens is the President and Co-Founder of CorrValues, LLC. His expertise includes providing consultation, assessment and training on church and university safety and security and critical incident debriefing.

This podcast looks at the leakage that happens before a potential violent act occurs against our churches.  How to identify and handle these situations is a vital part of the prevention mindset that churches need to have.  Let’s talk to Dr. Stephens and find out more about leakage.

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.

Matt Ferrell has been on the staff at his church in few different roles for around 13 years and in the last few years has been in the position of Campus Pastor for the main campus of his church.  You will hear today how church security has developed in his church over the years and how he has had to change his perspective as a church leader when it comes to security.  This podcast would be a great one for you to share with the pastors or leaders in your church.
