What happens when faith meets the front lines of law enforcement? Join me, Aaron, as I uncover the complex tapestry of faith, identity, and career demands with our guests, James Doyle, a former Army Infantryman turned law enforcement officer, and Tim, a seasoned pastor and worship leader from one of the world's most famous churches. Together, we unravel James's transformative journey from a nominal Christian upbringing to rediscovering his faith in college, eventually leading a Christian network for first responders. Tim lends his insights on the shared struggle of identity loss and the necessity of community support for believers in high-pressure professions.
Our conversation weaves through the intense realities faced by Christians in law enforcement, from grappling with trauma to balancing leadership with vulnerability. We discuss the harsh challenges of maintaining one's faith amidst the demands of the field, while James opens up about feeling disenfranchised and seeking solace through Christ and his community. Drawing from personal stories and literature like "Strong and Weak," we explore how leaders can successfully juggle authority and vulnerability in environments that often prioritize ambition over human connection.
As we navigate the intricate dance between love, justice, and faith, we delve into the active role love plays in pursuing justice and the nuanced process of forgiveness. Our reflections include insights from Tim Keller and Henry Cloud on distinguishing between forgiveness, reconciliation, and restoration. This episode promises a rich tapestry of reflections and narratives that will resonate with listeners from all walks of life, challenging them to consider how faith influences their daily decisions and interactions.

The invisible wounds of childhood often shape our adult lives in ways we never recognize. In this revealing conversation, trauma coach Jim Bernardo shares his journey from successful technology executive to men's group facilitator and trauma recovery specialist, uncovering how our earliest messages create the neural pathways that determine our responses decades later.
Drawing from his graduate studies in behavioral psychology and his personal healing journey, Bernardo explains why most men initially claim they experienced no childhood trauma. Research demonstrates how differently we treat children based solely on perceived gender – expecting emotional stoicism from boys while encouraging emotional expression in girls. These seemingly small but repeated experiences literally wire circuits in the brain that persist into adulthood, creating automatic responses we often don't understand.
Perhaps most fascinating is Bernardo's perspective on language as the key to healing. "We don't describe our experiences with language. We create them with the language we give to them," he explains, illustrating how trauma recovery involves consciously reshaping our internal narratives about past events. While techniques like EMDR can help access buried emotions, the fundamental healing comes through giving different language to experiences that have controlled us from the shadows.
For men specifically, trauma often manifests as "covert depression" – presenting as irritability, physical symptoms, risk-taking behaviors, or disproportionate rage rather than recognizable sadness. Through his book "Echoes of Broken Skies" and his trauma coaching work, Bernardo helps men recognize these patterns and develop the awareness to pause between trigger and response – creating space for healing and preventing relationship damage caused by reactive behaviors.
Whether you're struggling with unexplained anger, feeling disconnected from yourself and others, or simply curious about the profound impact of language on our experience of reality, this conversation offers valuable insights into reclaiming your authentic self through conscious awareness and the deliberate reshaping of your personal narrative.

What if we could stop first responder PTSD before it starts? Susan Farren's life-changing revelation came at her darkest moment – facing a terminal cancer diagnosis after 30 years as a paramedic, when a surgeon casually mentioned they "see a lot of this in first responders." That pivotal comment launched her investigation into how trauma physically changes emergency responders, ultimately leading her to sell her home and create First Responder Resiliency, an organization that's now trained over 12,000 people nationwide.
The traditional first responder wellness program – what Susan calls "Suck It Up Buttercup" – clearly wasn't working. Despite existing support like CISM debriefings and employee assistance programs, rates of suicide, addiction, divorce, and depression continued rising among those who serve our communities. Susan realized something fundamental was missing: a proactive approach that addresses how trauma physically alters the brain and body before problems emerge.
Susan shares her personal journey through addiction, divorce, cancer, and suicidal thoughts with remarkable vulnerability, describing a moment when she found herself "howling like a wounded animal" in her trailer with a handgun, saved only by a random call from her manicurist. This dark night of the soul mirrors what countless first responders experience – trapped in isolation, ashamed to admit they're struggling, caught in what Susan describes as a tornado pulling all life's debris into its vortex.
The First Responder Resiliency program combines cutting-edge neuroscience with practical healing modalities like meditation, tactical yoga (taught by a 260-pound former military operator), and recently, healing drum circles led by Def Leppard's Rick Allen. These approaches reset the nervous system, helping participants escape the biochemical addiction to stress hormones that many first responders develop unknowingly. As Susan eloquently puts it: "I would love to get people meditating before we get them medicating."
Whether you're a first responder yourself or love someone who is, this conversation offers profound insights into how trauma changes us physically and mentally – and how we can heal before reaching crisis. Susan's revolutionary approach shows that true strength comes not from suppressing emotions but from understanding our nervous systems and learning tools to maintain balance throughout a challenging career.
