Chapter 1: What challenges do former police officers face in liberal states?
new but it is an unfortunate result of sin so if there wasn't sin there wouldn't be power grabs there wouldn't be greed it wouldn't be pride and that's my goal as a christian is like man if i preach well and i preach the true gospel then we could see people who aren't prideful who aren't greedy who aren't manipulative and deceptive and there won't be a need for conflict All right, guys.
Shane Winnings here. We are at AmFest. How's the festival been for you? It's been good, man. It's my fourth one. Wow. And it's been fun to watch it grow over the last few years. How many people were at the first one you went to? I think there were like 10,000. Oh, this is pretty big. They expected 20,000 this weekend or something. I mean, it's insane. I think there's more than that, honestly.
Probably. It's been packed. This media row was never this big. I mean, this is insane. Yeah, so really cool. Did you speak at this one? I speak tomorrow morning. Nice. What are you going to talk about? So I'm on a panel with like Faith in the Public Square, like Riley Gaines and a couple other people. That's cool. Yeah. Is that a big part of your messaging these days? Just preaching faith?
Yeah, it is. I mean, it's my main message. You know, I never thought I'd be in like a political space, but... I really just bring the gospel into that. Cause I think as Christians, we need to be in that space. Right. Um, as opposed to the current view by a lot of people, which is that, you know, the church and the state should be separate. Yeah. They don't really understand what that really means.
Yeah. Times are changing. I remember growing up, politics was never mentioned in church. Uh, but now it seems to be more integrated, right? Yeah. Well, politics is the way you care for people on a macro level. So it's the highest form of love. You know, we have house rules, uh, We've got rules at our workplace.
But when we want to talk about rules in the nation, all of a sudden the church is like, whoa, let's not talk about that. It doesn't really make sense. Yeah, that's a good point when you put it that way. Because you could find out a lot about someone based off their politics. Right. It's literally like, here's how we're going to take care of you citizens.
Why would I not want to have a voice in that? Right. Right. And if I don't, that means someone else is. And, you know, newsflash, like not everyone has your best interests in mind. Yeah. I'd say most people don't. Exactly. And you would hope Christians do. Yeah. So it's a pretty easy argument, I think. Yeah. I like that argument. You had a legendary moment this year being able to pray over Trump.
That was crazy. Yeah. Talk to me about what happened there. Dude, that was nuts. So, you know, I've done a lot of work with TPUSA Faith and some other organizations and And basically, you know, right before his rally, there was like a little summit. And in between the summit and the rally, they said, hey, we're going to go pray over Trump. I'm like, oh, that's crazy, you know? Yeah.
And so then I'm just thinking I'm going to be in the room. We're going to pray over him. And then when we get in there, a couple of my friends were like leading this rally.

Chapter 4: What is the significance of faith in public service?
So Christianity is a religion of peace in the sense that like, I don't ever want to hurt someone, but it is an uncompromising truth. So I don't want to get that twisted. Like we're supposed to be out here killing people. They don't agree with us or something. Cause that's not, he'll use it when needed. That's not Christianity. Yeah.
Well, and there's nothing in the Bible to indicate that he will ever do that again, because since Christ has come, God has revealed himself through his son. So now because of Jesus Christ, like anyone can be saved. The Old Testament was God revealing himself to man through a people group.
And so there were times when he'd have to overtake other gods, you know, to show people like, hey, I'm the one true God. No one's going to defeat me. And he did. So yeah, I don't see any biblical justification for Christians ever imposing war or their will on other people forcefully. Do you believe in any biblical prophecies? I do, yeah. Yeah, I really do.
Yeah, I've seen some posts of how a lot of them have actually come true from the Bible. It's pretty interesting stuff. Yeah, dude. And if you look into Jesus, like even just as a historical figure, he fulfilled like a crazy amount of Old Testament prophecies, which these things were written long before he ever came to be. That was one of the most compelling arguments for a lot of people is like,
dude, how do you justify, how do you reconcile in your brain when a hundred people say this thing about this one guy and then he shows up? It's like, wow.
Logically, yeah, that's tough to fight against. If a hundred people that didn't know, did they know each other or no? No. Oh, so that's even crazier, right?
Yeah, or just a guy who's going to exist a thousand years from now. That's where some of these people were at. That's crazy. But yeah, I love biblical prophecy. Did you see the prophecy of the guy who said that Trump would get shot? No. I thought that was astrology. Was that not? No, no. So there was a Christian in like April. He put out a YouTube video. You can find it.
And he literally said, I saw in a dream or a vision or whatever that Trump would get. They'd try to kill him. Yeah. It would graze his right ear. And then he would win the election. Yeah. You know, and he said this in April. I mean, that's highly specific. What are the odds of that? You know, like the same year and the same type of. Exactly. That is interesting. It's amazing.
And I've experienced some of that in my own life just because God speaks. I'm actually teaching a YouTube live tonight on how to hear God's voice. It's funny that we're talking about this. You can train your body to actually. Well, God has given us his spirit if you're a Christian, right? So he will give you his spirit.

Chapter 6: What lessons can be learned from Shane's near-death experience?
You know, if Adam and Eve had never sinned, we would have never had this pride struggle and power grabs and land and blah, blah, blah, and whatever. So I'm looking forward to the day when we don't have any more war. So I've never read a Bible. Could you explain when you said God used war? Yeah, so like through the Old Testament,
as god was liberating his people you know the israelites he would have them overtake other countries that were or other people groups that were like you know for instance sacrificing children to like idols or earning them or shout out to today's sponsor prolon if starting the year with a fast feels a little daunting you're not alone there's an entire community of individuals wanting to make a meaningful decision in their health just like you

You know, just worshiping other gods. And so God's like, hey, I'm a jealous God. You're going to serve me. And so you're my people. Go overtake this land. I'm giving it to you. And then we're going to have a generation that is following me. Interesting. And so war is a biblical thing. I mean, war started with God, really. It's not anything new, but it is an unfortunate result of sin.
So if there wasn't sin, there wouldn't be power grabs. There wouldn't be greed. There wouldn't be pride. And that's my goal as a Christian is like, man, if I preach well and I preach the true gospel, then we could see people who aren't prideful, who aren't greedy, who aren't manipulative and deceptive, and there won't be a need for conflict. That's the goal anyways. That's super interesting.
I always just thought of peace when I think of God and Jesus.
Yeah. Well, it's funny because... He is a God of peace, but it's like on his terms. So there's a line that where Jesus says, I didn't come to bring peace, but a sword. And what he means by that is Jesus came to bring the truth and the truth is going to divide. I don't need to be divisive, I just say what's true and then you'll pick a side, right? And it's gonna divide.

Chapter 7: How does faith influence political engagement?
Chapter 8: What insights does Shane have about the future of law enforcement?
I always just thought of peace when I think of God and Jesus.
Yeah. Well, it's funny because... He is a God of peace, but it's like on his terms. So there's a line that where Jesus says, I didn't come to bring peace, but a sword. And what he means by that is Jesus came to bring the truth and the truth is going to divide. I don't need to be divisive, I just say what's true and then you'll pick a side, right? And it's gonna divide.
And the thing about peace in the world is that peace is filled with compromise. So like if two nations at war wanna have peace, they come up with a peace treaty and they both compromise, God says, I'm not compromising. Like you're either for me or against me. And so when nations came against him, It's like David and Goliath, basically.
Goliath, the Philistine army, they were going to take over God's people and enslave them. And God said, I'm not having that. And so most of us have heard the story. David kills Goliath, cuts his head off, and then the Israelites are victorious. Wow. So that's the God we serve. He's powerful. But the difference is... versus other faiths, God doesn't call us to go out and kill people in his name.
That was all like, as God was playing the story out, revealing himself, and then ultimately Jesus came and showed us who God is. But the difference is there's other religions out there that say, if people don't convert, kill them. And like, that's wrong. But we're also balancing this with the 10 commandments, which tell us thou shall not murder. Right.
So Christianity is a religion of peace in the sense that like, I don't ever want to hurt someone, but it is an uncompromising truth. So I don't want to get that twisted. Like we're supposed to be out here killing people. They don't agree with us or something. Cause that's not, he'll use it when needed. That's not Christianity. Yeah.
Well, and there's nothing in the Bible to indicate that he will ever do that again, because since Christ has come, God has revealed himself through his son. So now because of Jesus Christ, like anyone can be saved. The Old Testament was God revealing himself to man through a people group.
