Violence rarely happens without warning. There are often observable behaviors, decisions, and indicators that occur along the pathway before someone reaches the point of committing an act of violence. Understanding that progression can help protectors, educators, church leaders, security professionals, and communities recognize concerning behaviors earlier and respond before a situation escalates. Kyle breaks down the different stages of the continuum and explains what protectors should be looking for, why context matters, and how recognizing the pathway can help move our mindset from simply reacting to violence to preventing it. This episode is a valuable resource for anyone responsible for the safety of students, churches, schools, workplaces, and the communities they serve. Listen in, learn the indicators, and become a better protector.

The question is asked, What is A Man's Man? What is your response? The question has no easy answer anymore and it's vital we take the time to ponder and figure out a response. As the very fabric which our country was built upon is ripped apart. As Jimmy says we are building higher and higher while simultaneously chipping at the foundation. That is not a sustainable path forward in fact it's the exact opposite and will yield unfortunate results.

What does it mean to use adventure to capture the hearts of men and women? There is something magical that happens within when you challenge yourself, get outside your comfort zone, pursuing an adventure while developing lifelong memories and friendships.
The initial thought and motivation is based on the British television series "Long Way Round", which eventually led into the planning and execution of "The Ride for Lance" which later was made into a movie and is available on Amazon.com.
]]>In preparation for two action packed and exciting adventures to include the Wyoming Backcountry Discovery Route (WY BDR) and the Able Shepherd Benghazi Ride, Jimmy reflects on the importance of living your action adventure.
What does it mean to use adventure to capture the hearts of men and women? There is something magical that happens within when you challenge yourself, get outside your comfort zone, pursuing an adventure while developing lifelong memories and friendships.
The initial thought and motivation is based on the British television series "Long Way Round", which eventually led into the planning and execution of "The Ride for Lance" which later was made into a movie and is available on Amazon.com.

Jimmy provides in depth discussion and detail as to why the following topics DO NOT work in an Active Shooter situation
- pieing a corner or entrance
- 'getting off the X'
Having a plan (in advance), knowing your role within the plan, combined with decisive action are the key components required to effectively resolve the situation.

When one is asked "What can we do?" the answer is we all need to work harder.
Three key topics and action items moving forward…
1. People and Training - train to a repeatable and a defendable standard - the standard must look like the actual response - in an emergency, everyone has a job to do and the roles are to be determined in advance - run, hide, fight was a good first step and the time has come to migrate to the D.E.F.E.N.D. modules (Defense, Evacuate, Fortify, Emergency Medical Aid, Notify Others in the Immediate Area, Dial 911)
2. Architectural design and building improvements similar to target hardening of US Embassies - vestibule and/or man trap to prevent an intruder from following someone in - give the protectors time to assume a posture - to get to them, you have to go through me
3. Culture - whose job is it to secure this school?…mine - we the people must make the correction - model these three action items and topics for the rest of the nation

The impact Neil has on the Able Shepherd program, Able-Nation.org, as well as the Stand in the Gap Initiative is immeasurable! When you combine a lifetime of experience with a strong Christian faith and foundation along with a humble and engaging personality that is second to none .. everyone is rewarded personally and professionally by the presence of The Sage.
As Neil prepares to relocate from Colorado to Louisiana in the next phase of his life to be closer to his sons and grandchildren, he takes time to reflect and share stories with Jimmy on the development of the Able Shepherd program and the countless memories made along the way.
To say Neil has had an impact on every individual he has worked or trained with, to include Jimmy and the Able Shepherd program is a massive understatement. Quite literally we would not be where we are today without the knowledge, experience, guidance and wisdom which Neil has imparted on us all.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and best wishes to Neil as he transitions into the next phase.
While Neil will continue to be a guiding force, his daily presence, warmth, and generosity will certainly be missed.

In a nutshell, the students can see that things are broken and they need to be fixed. From the mouths of children "fix it or I will." Please, follow along as Jimmy revists the request by the Physical Education teacher (to the Students) "what are some ideas of what you would like to do in class?"
With the idea that school districts are doing very little to nothing in an effort to protect students on campus, or in the classroom, the students take it upon themselves to make a request to learn some basic skills related to self defense and personal protection.
Thankfully, the teachers and staff were willing to listen to the students and invited two of the Able Shepherd Lead Instructors into their P.E. classroom to introduce some self defense basic skills. At the end of the week, the students walk taller and with more confidence knowing they have some knowledge and experience to build upon.

One recurring theme is a quote from C.S. Lewis"In a sort of ghastly simplicitywe remove the organ and demand the function.We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful."
Topics highlighted and addressed during the conversation include:
Kids are easy targets - XXX cartoons for Sex Ed
Administrators figured out this is big business, and are reaping significant financial rewards at the cost of the students and the teachers
Toxic masculinity versus Righteous Masculinity
Stop asking permission and start living your life
Get involved with the Policies that govern our lives
When we talk about the concept of Getting Back to Good .. how do we define what is good .. and the simple answer is to refer to the Bible and understand the history which has been laid down before us.
In the end, there is a call to action:
What are you going to do about it?
When are you going to do it?
Creation of Community Impact Teams
Be a part of the creation of the future of schools
Christ centered, classical education teaching love over hate, light over dark, and strength over weakness
This is accomplished with Selfless problem solvers, are you one of them?

Sometimes it is easy to get caught up with or defined by your Title, however we need to keep in mind what our Duty is. For example, is it the Sheriff's duty to take care of the people or take care of his fellow officers?
How do you know what to do, and where do you start ?
Love others as you do yourself
Stand united, not divided
Be the model of the thing you say you believe
