About This Podcast
Obedient Warrior is a contradiction by definition. It’s a dilemma.
Warrior: A protector. A defender of freedom and order.
Obedient: Trying to live surrendered to a guy named Jesus.
We’re police officers who’ve lived in the real world—chaos, tragedy, dark humor, and death. We fall short daily. We get knocked down, dust ourselves off, and keep moving forward, living in the tension between these two worlds.
Our mission is to wrestle honestly with where those realities collide:
warrior by profession, the Bible as our guide.
This isn’t clean or tidy. It’s brutally real.
If you’re in law enforcement, the military, or a first responder who wrestles with this tension, you’re in the right place.
