Why Do Churches Need Armed Safety Teams?

The world is changing rapidly and violence directed at churches, church leaders and congregations has increased over ten times what it was five years ago. Statistically, churches that are protected by visible armed security are far less likely to experience violence compared to those that are not. While we all wish we could go back to a time when armed protection in church was not a necessity, and I would argue that most safety team members want that more than anyone; we must acknowledge the reality of where our society is at and take prudent precautions. Ana joins me in this episode of the podcast to switch roles and interview me about my role as a church safety team member and team leader. Visit our website for more podcast and content.
