A Brother Lost in the Line of Duty 0:17 1 of our real aggressive, strong, patrol deputies, he put a transmission out, it's called 10 33, which is emergency traffic only on our radio frequency.0:30 Means he was in some serious trouble, and then he heard a, a radio key again, and it was another 1 of our officers who says that he could hear shots fired. And, you could hear the shots0:42 being fired in the background when he keyed his mic. And we all started responding that way. I was responding from a pretty, you know, significant distance, and,0:54 was told not to respond, that we had sufficient units on scene, and I needed to continue to have coverage for my city. So we sat, and we waited, and we waited, and we waited to1:06 find out, that he'd been shot multiple times, by a high powered rifle1:20 and, did not have a chance to return fire. Succumbed to his1:31 injuries, and we lost him that night. And I continued to work the rest of the shift, had about 5 or 6 more hours left in my shift. Worked my shift and,1:46 just went home, and loved all my family, and just prayed.1:59 Just prayed that, for understanding. And, obviously, it's still hard for me. So2:13 it was not long after that incident that I resigned from the sheriff's department after 10 years. Wanted to to see if there was something that was better for my family. I was gone from the2:25 sheriff's department for a year in about 10 months, and my wife was like, hey, look. You're not happy. You need to go back into law enforcement. That's what you've been called to do.2:37 So I walked back into the sheriff's department office and said, like, come back full time. It was at this point in my life that I was saying God got really big and thenSurrendering Struggles to the Cross 2:49 I I really at that point realized I don't have it. You know, and that I have the God of the universe who who died for me and has a plan for me,3:01 and wants me to trust him. And I did because at this point, I really started to learn to bring, those struggles and and problems and depression to the cross. And man has changed my life. It's3:13 been different ever since then. And I try to get up in the morning and go to work and share this work that God's done in3:25 me over these years with some of the other guys that I work with that are going through some of the same struggles. Even going through what my partner went through and seeing it and experiencing it, or seeing other guys3:35 that I work with get heard, and get medically retired, etcetera, I was pretty focused and never really concerned about whether I was gonna come home or not. I3:47 trusted God in that. That same adrenaline that I I I feed off of as a cop, God's taught me that I can use that,3:59 in in ministry or in my private life, in so many different ways, and to serve him. I was asked to go with a small group of guys into the middle of4:11 South Sudan, on a missions trip. I had people looking at me at work. Why would you put yourself in that danger? You know, you look back at it, and you're thinking, well, this was dangerous, and there were some really4:22 super dangerous moments, I feel like, while we were there. I never felt like, I was in danger, because you're doing the work for God, you4:34 know, and you're sharing the gospel. It's made me realize that it's bigger than what I do for work. God's just called you to be a policeman because those people that that we go work with4:46 need Christ.In this video 0:00 A Brother Lost in the Line of Duty2:47 Surrendering Struggles to the Cross
