Episode #48: Light in The Dark - First Responders and Faith

Tonight’s episode of Investigation: Homicide steps away from case files, crime scenes, and criminals to focus on something many first responders quietly rely on every day: faith. Tonight, Therese Apel and Amanda Johansson will host Clint Hatch, an investigator with the Rankin/Madison District Attorney’s Office, for an honest conversation about belief, resilience, and the importance of protecting mind and spirit. Hatch will talk about how his reliance on Christ has helped him navigate the trauma, stress and despair that often accompany the life of a first responder. From scenes that linger long after the job is done to the emotional weight of seeking justice for victims, Hatch will tell us his stories about how faith has been an anchor when the work becomes overwhelming. The episode will also highlight a project Hatch has been developing that centers on faith-based support for first responders — an effort aimed at helping others in the profession find hope, healing and purpose beyond the badge. While Investigation: Homicide often focuses on the facts of a case, tonight’s episode looks inward, exploring how belief can sustain those who spend their careers walking alongside tragedy.   This episode is produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.
