When the law falls heavy on those tasked with upholding it, what becomes of their hearts and minds? Jeremy Wade, a former Seattle police officer and now the guiding force behind Mission First Alliance, opens up about his transition from the front lines of law enforcement to leading an organization that heals and supports the spiritual needs of first responders. His experiences during Seattle's most volatile periods shine a light on the human side of the badge, exploring the toll that high-profile incidents and evolving department protocols take on those who serve.
Policing isn't just about enforcing the law; it involves navigating a sea of policy changes, public perception, and personal trauma. Jeremy weighs in on the impact Department of Justice oversight has on officers and communities alike, dissecting the narratives of crime spikes and the struggle to maintain a robust police force. Under his perceptive gaze, we learn about the pivotal role sergeants play in morale and the support systems necessary for officers to thrive amid adversity.
In our unguarded conversation with Jeremy, his transition from the force to faith-centered leadership embodies the epitome of servant leadership. The establishment of Mission First Alliance is not just the chronicle of one man's calling but a testament to the power of aligning passion with purpose. As the Alliance garners national recognition for addressing the spiritual void in first responders' lives, we're reminded that sometimes, the most profound leadership lessons are gleaned from ancient scriptures, pointing us back to the timeless wisdom of Jesus Christ.
