  I Thought That Was Legal: Why Church Safety Ministries Need to Know the Law

  Aug 12, 202619 min

  Good intentions aren’t enough when your church safety ministry is operating on assumptions about the law. In this episode of Sanctuary Peacemakers, we look at why understanding the laws where you serve matters—from trespass and use of force to firearms, custody disputes, protection orders, medical emergencies, and more. We’ll also discuss the difference between church policy and law, criminal and civil liability, and why insurance coverage shouldn’t be taken for granted. Knowing the law shouldn’t make your ministry afraid to act. It should help you prepare so that when something happens, you can respond with greater confidence and within the boundaries of the law.

  The Legacy I Almost Missed

  Jul 29, 202615 min

  This week's episode is deeply personal. After the passing of my father, I found myself writing a eulogy—and in the process, discovering a legacy I never fully understood while he was alive. Through forgotten memories, stories shared by family and neighbors, and one final conversation, I realized that the greatest legacies aren't built on accomplishments, but on quiet generosity, showing up for others, and loving people without expecting recognition. Today, I'd like to introduce you to the man who had the greatest influence on the man behind the microphone.

  How Church Safety Changed Me

  Jul 22, 202612 min

  Church safety has taught me far more than how to recognize threats or respond to emergencies. It has changed the way I see ministry, leadership, and the people God has entrusted to our care. In this more personal episode, I share how my perspective has evolved over the years, the impact the Crosspointe Church shooting had on me despite happening at a neighboring church, and why I no longer see church safety as simply providing security. Sometimes the greatest lesson isn’t about protecting a building—it’s about serving the people inside it.

  When the Threat Is a Familiar Face: Domestic Violence and Church Safety

  Jul 15, 202622 min

  Domestic violence does not always stay behind closed doors. It can follow someone to work, to school, and even into the church. In this episode, we look at what church leaders and safety ministries should consider when a victim warns that an abusive spouse or former partner may show up. From stalking and protection orders to children’s ministry concerns, confidentiality, and the danger of forcing reconciliation, this conversation focuses on how churches can respond with wisdom, compassion, and practical awareness. The person creating the danger may not be a stranger. They may be a familiar face, a former member, or someone the congregation already knows. That is why these situations must be taken seriously, handled carefully, and never dismissed as private relationship drama.
