Danger. Duty. Distrust. These three words accurately describe the everyday life of a cop: on and off duty. The danger and duty of protecting and serving comes with the job. Over my 26 year career, many people have told me, "I could never be a cop." They never heard the call to live the law enforcement officer's life of danger and duty. For others, it is an inherent distrust, and almost hatred, of police officers. But most people don't realize the distrust they have of cops is a two way street. Warrior, Servant, Leader. Three words citizens do not typically associate with cops. You hear the word cop and picture a guy in uniform, gun and badge and handcuffs, arresting someone or racing down the street with lights and siren screaming "get out of my way!" If you are stopped by a cop, you secretly say to yourself, "Why is he harassing me?" If you need a cop, one is never around. If you are a cop, you spend some days wishing "stupidity" was a crime so you could take everyone you meet to jail. This book will take a look at the Warriors, Servants and Leaders who wear the uniform of Law Enforcement. Life behind the badge is a life most cops guard and treasure. You will get a hard look at a life most people can only imagine. The stories and lessons shared are about cops, but this book applies also to the Warriors, Servants and Leaders in all walks of life. If you are a spouse or parent or businessman, student or pastor or your hardest job is just being yourself, the principles and lessons are entirely applicable. Take the Warrior-Servant-Leader self assessment at the end of the book to enhance your vision and journey as a Warrior, Servant and Leader. Thank you for sharing this journey with me.

Servant Warriors are bold, caring, authentic leaders whose desire is to propel their team to unimaginable heights of success and are often misunderstood because of their transparency. Divine Leadership Strengths is a personal conversation addressing the development and use of these blessed traits and provides the reader time and space to reflect on the Servant Warrior they are.

The Servant Warrior was written to be an encouragement to all who already are in law enforcement, are considering law enforcement as a career and those who care about those in law enforcement. The Servant Warrior challenges the view that faith in God is a weakness or that there can’t be a loving God in a world gone mad sometimes. Faith is a strength and supports the career of law enforcement. God cares deeply about this profession, provides direct proof of his support and provides guidance to those who follow this calling. As our Heavenly Father, he says “I approve of who you are!” As a Servant Warrior, we are invited to two distinct roles. One is to serve the public well and the other is to be a warrior in the face of evil to protect the public from evil. The Servant Warrior explores these roles from a Biblical perspective. The Servant Warrior looks at the role of leadership, maintaining wellness and the importance of a committed marriage partner as a support mechanism for those in law enforcement.

An exhilarating story of a young Navy SEAL whose relentless faith transformed his life and inspired everyone who knew his courageous story.
