020 - Could the Church Help with Our Policing Problem in the US?

Supporting police has become a controversial idea in the US. Some communities, for good reason, have lost faith in the institution because some officers have abused their trust. Many others are trying to do good in a system that’s broken, and face incredible pressures. All of it invites the question:

What could we do to make it better?

This episode provides a first step toward something that could help.

Spoiler: I think it applies to any area of ministry.

My guest is Jared Altic, who is a Full Time pastor, but also volunteers as a police chaplain in Kansas City, MO. Jared also hosts the Hey Chaplain podcast.
