349 - How Safe is Your Church from Attack?

349 - How Safe is Your Church from Attack?

Author: Pete Rogers July 21, 2025 Duration: 1:03:57

It is a sad reality in today's world that churches must begin to take action to protect their members and staff from violence. As I write this, the news came out of another shooting at a church in Lexington, Kentucky.

Kris Maloney saw this need a few years ago, and using his military and Law Enforcement training began teaching churches how to protect their members and staff. This local assistance has transformed into a full ministry and business. 

Sheepdog Church Security was founded to provide excellent training to churches across the country. From identifying your team(s) to range time and becoming proficient with your weapon  Through both online and inperson training, Kris instructs church volunteers how to recognize a possible threat, how to patrol the parking lots, doors, grounds and more. His business trains churches how to identify and stop a possible attack.

This episode is intresting and insightful as Kris tells us the imnportant aspects of being prepared adn being safe while we worship.

For twenty-five years, Pete Rogers has been writing and speaking about the wilderness, but he found the conversations happening around campfires and in duck blinds often went deeper than just tactics or gear. Those moments sparked Christian Outdoors Podcast, which he launched in 2019 after considerable reflection. This isn't a sermon from a mountaintop, but a series of genuine conversations rooted in a simple, guiding mission: to explore all things outdoors and discover how to find joy in a spiritual connection every single day. You’ll hear from hunters, anglers, hikers, and conservationists who share their own stories from the field, blending practical outdoor wisdom with personal reflections on faith and creation. Pete draws on his long background as an outdoor writer and author to steer these discussions, creating a space where the thrill of a turkey hunt and the quiet of a sunrise sit comfortably alongside matters of spirit. It’s a unique blend, born from a nonprofit based in Taylors, South Carolina, that feels less like a produced show and more like an invitation to join a like-minded community. Each episode of this podcast is built on the idea that the natural world and a life of faith aren't separate journeys, but are beautifully and inextricably woven together.
