Church should be a sanctuary—not a soft target.

As the nation marks the anniversary of the Charleston church shooting, the conversation around faith-based security has never been more urgent. In this episode of Safe Nation, church safety expert Bryant Tucker shares critical insight into how congregations can prevent tragedy and prepare their people—without sacrificing a spirit of welcome.

From building a trained volunteer security team to handling emergencies during worship services, Bryant explains how faith communities can balance hospitality with protection. He also reflects on the rise in threats to churches across the U.S.—including the recent Wayne, Michigan church shooting—and what every pastor, usher, and congregant needs to know.

🎙 In this episode, you'll learn:

• Lessons from Charleston and recent attacks
• How to build a ministry of protection
• What a modern church security plan looks like
• Training tips for volunteers and staff
• How to keep your sanctuary safe without fear

This conversation is a must-watch for faith leaders, security directors, and concerned church members alike.
