Text the Show or Leave a VoicemailOf all the trauma and grief an officer can experience in law enforcement, many police officers say it's the betrayal and mistreatment by police leadership that has hurt the worst.  Today our guest is Jake Sapp who worked as a cop in Kansas City for fifteen years before leaving it all behind for a civilian job.  The problem is that he didn't leave it all behind; the damage done by bad leadership left it's mark in Jake, and that followed him to the next career.  Today we're going to talk about how a cop stays healthy emotionally when his dreams are dashed, his career is ended, but the bitterness remains against bad leaders.Music is by LesFMHey Chaplain podcast episode 147Tags:Police, Anger, Bitterness, Calling, Career, Communication, Compassion, Humility, Insensitivity, Leadership, Manpower, Military, Quitting, Teaching, Kansas City, MissouriSupport the showThanks for Listening!  And, as always, pray for peace in our city.Subscribe/Follow here:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hey-chaplain/id1570155168Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2CGK9A3BmbFEUEnx3fYZOYEmail us at: [email protected] can help keep the show ad-free by buying me a virtual coffee!https://www.buymeacoffee.com/heychaplain
