    Get 'em back together! - 015 - 200909

    Robert shares information on a subject for planning that almost no church has considered, nor do they have a plan for, and yet it can become a very large concern for both legal and publicity liability after a critical incident. Reunification.

    Let’s say the critical incident, whatever it is, is now over. What are your plans to get people back together after the critical event, particularly getting the right children to the right adult? How can we make reunification of loved ones work well? Robert will share two principles and three actions you can take now to be ready.

Safe Zone

The world we live in is rapidly changing with school and church shootings becoming more and more frequent. The first step is to ramp up and commit to prayer. I recommend that your next step is to create a safe plan that all of your ministry leaders have buy in to the plan.

Bob Hurst’s brings wisdom and great insight in the Safe Zone and will help guide your ministry in developing your safe zone for worship.

A Must for Ministry Leaders

This podcast is a perfect resource to help ensure your ministry has a plan in place to help keep those you lead and love safe. Bob’s 30+ years of ministry experience and 40+ years of law enforcement and emergency management brings a needed perspective to safety in church. He also does a great job of keeping the segments small enough that I can listen to them on the way to work or while I work out. I highly recommend this podcast to all who serve in ministry in any capacity.
