Third time is the charm! John Riley and Mike finally get an episode recorded without technical issues. It only took a trip to Kansas to make it happen. In this episode Mike interviews John Riley of Gentle Response, LLC where they discuss the assault that occurred between a pastor and an agitator in New Orleans, what the pastor could have done differently, and how safety ministries can handle similar events should they occur at their church.

Mike and John also talk about the major ministry role safety team members play in getting the gospel to people that many churchgoers would otherwise ignore or avoid.
