 In a news article by Vanessa Vallejo. Co-editor-in-chief of El American. Economist, in 2020 homicides in Portland was 55, the most murders in the city in 26 years. Homicides from July 2020, after cuts were made to the Police budget, through February of this year, were up 270.6% over the same period last year. In the first two months of 2021 alone, Portland reported 17 murders.   What can Christians do to better support the communities they are called to serve and those who serve in those communities?
My guest today is James Jones. James is a community college professor and a 38-year veteran of policing. He is still doing patrol work. James is also a lifelong Christian and understands the significance of his faith in Christ and the career God has led him into.
