The latest episode of “Sheepdog and Shepherd” examines the impact of faith on the first-responder community. The recording came after the emotional toll of four back-to-back episodes addressing serious issues facing law enforcement.
One episode featured a longtime friend who revealed he had been sexually assaulted at five years old.
“When he opened up by talking about having been sexually assaulted at five years old by his uncle, and then all of the traumas that he faced and how he was going to take his own life, that threw me for a loop,” Kyle shares.
Another interview centered on parents whose four-year-old daughter had been killed.
He continues, “Our very last episode that we filmed today with the parents of a four little, four year old little girl who was killed by an illegal immigrant bro. That just kind of broke me,”
What stood out most was not anger, but grace. The conversation then turned to a father who discovered his teenage daughter had been sexually assaulted and kidnapped.
Greg points out an important idea: “You can be the warrior, you can be the fighter, you can be the protector. But at the same time, being a man, in the eyes of Jesus, is to be called to love your family.”
Real masculinity, he said, looks different from how Hollywood portrays it. The episode also turned to the ultimate example of Jesus.
“When he was here on Earth, right before he died, he disrobed himself, and he picked up a towel, and he washed his disciples’ feet as a true servant, and that’s the example that he gives to us,” the program declares.
In a profession defined by danger, these men are pointing to something deeper than tactics or training. They are calling warriors to become servants and reminding sheepdogs that they are also shepherds.
