Happy New Year! Thank you to everyone that purchased merchandise. It means the world. We will be in contact with those who ordered about delivery very soon.

Today, we were joined by Brody Merrill, a deputy who was involved in a harrowing incident. While arresting a suspect for domestic abuse, the individual pulled out a handgun and opened fire on Brody and his partner, Josh. Tragically, Josh lost his life in the exchange of gunfire. We talked about that day, how we can honor Josh's life, and what the healing process looks like following an incident like that. 

We hope that you as a viewer are able to take away something from this episode whether it be a little more respect for what these officers endure or more knowledge of this situation. Thank you all for watching!
