In this powerful and candid discussion, Pastor Mike addresses a difficult and emotional question many believers are wrestling with today: should churches have armed security teams? Responding to concerns about defending the congregation—even if it means using deadly force—Pastor Mike walks through biblical principles of self-defense, the value of human life made in the image of God, and the responsibility to protect the innocent. He explains why loving our neighbors, families, and fellow believers sometimes requires decisive action, especially in an age where churches are increasingly targeted. This teaching brings clarity, biblical grounding, and pastoral conviction to a topic many Christians feel uneasy talking about but can no longer ignore.
