In an age where cultural currents too often turn against law enforcement, the new series Sheepdog and Shepherd, produced by Law Enforcement Today, emerges as a bold testament to the strength of faith, community, and duty.
Rooted in Scripture and forged in the fires of real-life trauma and triumph, this series offers not a sanitized, feel-good version of Christianity, but a gritty and redemptive portrayal of men and women who serve and protect.
The series sets itself apart: this is not "kindergarten Christianity." It is raw, it is real, and it is about facing darkness with the light of Christ. Officers, veterans, and first responders will be invited onto the show in order to tell their stories and recount the loss, trauma, and spiritual battles they've endured—not merely as badge wearers but as humans desperately seeking God's grace.
Pray.com is the largest faith-based app in the world with more than 24 million app downloads. The four founders are passionate about spreading the Gospel to every country.
At the heart of this project are two voices: Kyle Reyes, the owner of the 1776 Project, a law enforcement advocate, and a man of God, and Pastor Greg Farah of the Church of Eleven22 in Jacksonville, Florida, who leads prison and first responder ministries. In this "what to expect" episode, Kyle shares his journey of transformation—from bitterness and disillusionment in Connecticut to spiritual revival in Florida, surrounded by Christians who openly and unapologetically live out their faith.
Sheepdog and Shepherd is not simply a series of interviews. It's a ministry with a mission: to keep God at the center of the law enforcement community's healing and purpose. The foundation is the 1010 Life initiative, inspired by John 10:10, which contrasts the enemy's goal to "steal, kill, and destroy" with Jesus' promise of abundant life. The project emphasizes that true abundance is not found in career accolades or material wealth, but in a life centered on Jesus.
This vision has given birth to a ministry expanding across Florida and beyond, serving police, fire, rescue, and even military communities. Pastor Farah, once unaware of what "first responder ministry" entailed, now champions it with passion, recognizing the unique mental, emotional, and spiritual needs of those on the front lines.
The series also bravely tackles the mental health crisis facing law enforcement. Whether it's PTSD, substance abuse, or broken marriages, Sheepdog and Shepherd insists that healing must come from both spiritual and communal support. As Farah asserts, the enemy often attacks the mind first—and if unguarded, this spiritual battlefield can lead to devastation.
Encouragement is extended to anyone struggling: tune in, take part, and don’t suffer in silence. No topic is taboo, and no pain is too messy for the grace of God. Viewers are even invited to suggest guests and share stories, reinforcing the show's grassroots authenticity.
Sheepdog and Shepherd doesn’t just speak to the faithful; it calls them to action. It reminds us that America's greatness lies not in fleeting politics but in eternal principles: truth, sacrifice, courage, and above all, faith.
Whether you wear the badge or pray for those who do, this series is a clarion call to stand firm, serve boldly, and believe fiercely.
