About this listen

In this episode of The Bible and the Badge, host Chris Weisinger delves into the core identity of a Christian officer by comparing two powerful models: the Sheepdog and the Shepherd. The discussion explores the popular "sheepdog" metaphor, affirming the officer's role as a protector but warning how a purely threat-focused mindset can lead to cynicism. As a vital complement, the episode presents the biblical model of the "shepherd," who is motivated by a heart of service and compassionate care for the community. Listeners will discover how to integrate the warrior's readiness with the servant's heart to police more effectively and build spiritual resilience.
