Church Security Through Prevention
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.

I am thrilled to have Paul Lake back again as a guest to talk about having a culture of training in our churches. I sincerely hope that churches around the country are encouraged to make whatever necessary changes need to happen to strengthen and move forward the ministry of safety and security. I would highly encourage you to share it with others in your church leadership and other churches.

A suggestion regarding a podcast about mistakes made and lessons learned was given recently. I am really excited about this and as I have reached out to several security leaders to see about them taking some time to share some of those things, it just confirms what I have been told at our seminars as well, that there are people out there that really want to know these things. This is far bigger than I thought it was going to be so it looks like this is going to be an ongoing off and on series for a while.
