The holiday season is a great time for your team and leadership to minister uniquely. Help your people remain safe during these unusual times with ideas and tips for security and safety. Help them to give thanks along the way.

Historically, all pandemics surface in multiple "waves" or outbreaks. There are three simple steps your church needs to be doing NOW to be ready for the next wave.

Situational awareness should be applied by everyone, whether in a place of worship, a business, or even at home. Situational awareness is easy to grasp if you break it into three rings. Ring #3 takes us inside your facility and what you should be situationaly aware of.

Situational awareness should be applied by everyone, whether in a place of worship, a business, or even at home. Situational awareness is easy to grasp if you break it into three rings. Ring #2 starts at the outside doors and windows.

You use, or should be using, situational awareness in every area of your life, even where you worship. In this first of three podcasts about situational awareness in places of worship, Robert explores ring #1, the parking lot out to the street. Ring #1 is where it all starts, and where any potential bad situations should stop.

Robert shares information on a subject for planning that almost no church has considered, nor do they have a plan for, and yet it can become a very large concern for both legal and publicity liability after a critical incident. Reunification.

Let’s say the critical incident, whatever it is, is now over. What are your plans to get people back together after the critical event, particularly getting the right children to the right adult? How can we make reunification of loved ones work well? Robert will share two principles and three actions you can take now to be ready.

You want to build a strong safety/security team from the beginning, and you want to do it right, but how? In this Safe Zone, Robert shares the top 5 questions you need to start with to either start a team, or expand your present team.

In this episode of Safe Zone, Robert discusses the two types of personality responses to a crisis or emergency. One brings chaos. The other, calm. Which are you? 

This month is a continuation of how to standardize your response to critical incidents using the Standard Response Protocol. Robert will share the final three components of this very simple and easy to teach system for everyone in your facility. 

How do you create a non-complicated, standardized response for your place of worship? In this podcast, we begin to explore that  very question by discussing how to apply the Standard Response Protocol initially developed by the I Love Your Guys Foundation
