Jason White tackles a subject few understand... Readers will want to underline and highlight the pages of this book. Jason effectively teaches the balance of protecting the church and reaching the lost that many thought was not possible... We need this book in all of our churches today! Norm Dubois, Lead Pastor East Coast Believers Church This book astutely outlines vital church security matters from a primarily biblically based perspective... It provides methodically sound strategies and action plans to implement. The balance presented of protecting the flock and reaching the lost is paramount! Joseph J. O'Neill, Assistant Special Agent in Charge U. S. Secret Service - (Ret.) The author draws from his experience in law enforcement and ministry to provide a solution to the Pastor's Paradox. The Pastor's Paradox demonstrates that too much security will inhibit the ability to reach the lost while too little security leaves the flock vulnerable. Spirit Led Security is a biblically based strategy to manage the stewardship responsibility of providing a safe worship environment while being focused on the Great Commission. This book recommends a multi-layered approach consisting of overt and covert elements to counter weather, medical, and violent threats. At its core is a designated Safety Team focused on stewardship, outreach, and discipleship. The goal of Spirit Led Security is a safe worship environment free from distraction and focused on outreach. Some of the topics covered include a biblical basis, outreach to first responders, situational awareness, target hardening, creating and training a safety team, liability, consulting secular security experts, identifying red flags and pre-assault indicators, creating an emergency preparedness plan, and responding to an active shooter. From the Lead Pastor to the person serving on their first day as a greeter, the reader will be empowered to enhance the safety of the worship environment while remaining focused on reaching the lost.
