Pastor Tackles Gunman Saving Church Goers!


 

Yesterday, Sara, one of our PeaceWalker Community Members forwarded me this UNBELIEVABLE Story!


Well, to be honest, it wasn't that unbelievable to me and shouldn't be to you either, but more on that in a second...

Here's the scoop:

Sunday, Nov. 7th a Nashville pastor tackled and disarmed man who was waving a gun at worshippers during a Sunday morning church service.

The heroic actions of this pastor saved his church from further violence. miraculously no one was injured during this incident!

Here's Why This Wasn't So Unbelievable... 

So why do you think I would say that this story ISN'T so unbelievable?!

You should already know what I'm going to say...

This news story simply confirms something that we already know...

We are ALL Protectors!

This man is a true hero, he stepped up to the plate during an extreme situation.
He did what many are afraid to do. 

I don't know, but my guess is that he didn't have any experience or training in this. I could be wrong... 

It just goes to show that you don't have to be Rambo or a world champion fighter to be a protector!  

You do however, have to be clear &  have the courage to act (approaperately)! 

That pastor certainly did! 

Would you?!

Possibly...

Here's where training really comes in...

Although our identities as protectors are innate, they are not always clear. We do have skills to deal with most types of situations to some capacity, however they can be polished and refined. 

THAT'S WHERE TRAINING REALLY COMES IN!


We train to constantly clarify that we protect the right things during conflict. 

We train to develop our skills to better deal with situations.

We train so that the clarity and skills will stay top of mind and help us to be more courageous when it is most necessary! 

We train so we have a Better Life!


(PeaceWalker) Training helps you and I to betters our odd of dealing violence, conflict and (especially) every day life! 

So, if you'd like to join me and countless other PeaceWalkers to learn to sustain that clarity and those skills to Lead, Protect & Inspire, than get on the waiting list so you can join when it opens back up.


It's a better life!


Keep going,
~Craig

Are people from Crete Creteans??

Here I am in Crete. It is a pretty cool island. It is a bit more difficult getting around, but far from impossible. Most people speak at least a little english and I have gotten very good at asking (in Greek) if they speak english. I walked around about 15 miles today. Into town, around town, to all (and I do mean all) of their museums, archelogical sights, some cafe's and town squares. I really didn't even get lost today. Wow, I must be making some progress. I met a couple English people (yes, people from England silly) we hung out until about 1am or so and talked about politics, troubled youth, the difference between the FBI, CIA, and Secret Service (don't ask, if I told you I'd have to kill you:), body guards, ccw laws etc. It was kinda of funny, most of the museums that I went to today were under construction and had only one exhibit open. Geeze, you'd think that they would have at least discounted their entry price, but noooooooo! Oh well. I at least had a real

What's Your Rosebud?

  One of my favorite classic movies is: "Citizen Kane" It starred Orson Welles. [NOTE: spoiler ahead - if you haven't seen it] And, was about the life and legacy of a powerful newspaper publisher, based partly on the late William Randolph Hearst. The movie starts with Charles Foster Kane dying, with his last word being "Rosebud" — and the entire movie is this sort of question of what "Rosebud" is. Turns out it was simply the trade name of a cheap little sled on which Kane was playing on the day he was taken away from his home and his mother as a child. Welles revealed in an interview: "In his subconscious it represented the simplicity, the comfort, above all the lack of responsibility in his home, and also it stood for his mother's love which Kane never lost." The point? We All Have Our Rosebud That thing, moment, or whatever it is that anchors, drives, guides, or inspires you.  For example, the late Johnny Carson and the book of magic tr

You'll Never Guess What This Parrot Said!

  The Parrot Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly Mother. . The first said,  "I built a big house for our Mother." . The second said, " I sent her a Mercedes with a driver." . The third smiled and said,  "I've got you, both beat. You know how Mom enjoys the Bible, and you know she can't see very well. I sent her a parrot that can recite the entire Bible. It took 20 monks in a Monastery 12 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $5,000 a year for 10 years, but it was worth it. Mom just has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot will recite it." . Soon thereafter, Mom sent out her letters of thanks: "Dearest First Son,"  she wrote the first son,  "the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but have to clean the whole house." . " Dearest Second Son,"  she wrote to another,  "I am t
