TruthCafe, Ep. 28 Behind the Badge: Policing, Faith & the Heart of Justice. Pt 1
In this special episode of The Truth Café, Pastor Sean sits down with several current and retired NYPD officers from Solid Rock Church for an honest, thoughtful conversation about law enforcement, faith, and accountability.
In the wake of the George Floyd tragedy and the national conversation around police reform, questions arose: Does policing have a biblical foundation? What does Romans 13 really teach? How do Christian officers balance authority with Christ-like character?
Through personal stories — from 9/11 to Internal Affairs investigations, from body-worn cameras to moral responsibility on the job — these officers offer a rare look “behind the thin blue line.”
This episode explores:
The biblical basis for authority and law enforcement
The role of moral character in policing
Accountability within the system
The weight of split-second decisions
How faith shapes officers in moments of crisis
This isn’t a debate — it’s a conversation rooted in respect, transparency, and a desire to understand.
