What does it really take to be ready for the unthinkable?

In this five-part interview series, we sit down with Jay Trombley, a member of the Crosspointe Church security team who played a critical role in protecting lives when an armed individual arrived on church property with the intent to cause mass harm. This isn’t about hero worship or headlines — it’s about preparation, responsibility, and the quiet decisions made long before a crisis ever happens.

In Part One, Jay takes us behind the scenes of the training, planning, and mindset that shaped his team. We talk about the drills they ran, the conversations they had, and the weight of preparing for a moment everyone hopes will never come. It’s an honest look at how readiness is built over time — and why that preparation mattered when it counted most.

This series is about faith, vigilance, and what it means to protect a community when everything is on the line.
