September 5, 2023 ● 37 minShare this episode
We're thrilled to introduce you to the extraordinary Adam Davis - a retired police officer, author, speaker, and soulful individual who has ridden an emotional rollercoaster throughout his life. Through the thick fog of unresolved childhood trauma, Adam ventured into a career in law enforcement, a journey that would unknowingly prepare him for his next life chapter. His heartfelt testimony reveals how he navigated fear, guilt, and shame, and how he unearthed redemption and healing through God's all-encompassing love.
As we go down memory lane, Adam uncovers the deep-rooted trauma he experienced in his childhood. This trauma, he recounts, gave birth to negative emotions that accompanied him into adulthood, causing him to be a prisoner of his own mind and susceptible to predators. But as we shine the spotlight on unforgiveness, we find a vicious cycle of trauma and the pathway to breaking free from it. Adam also gives us an insight into the hardships of serving the public, where he had to stow away his emotions and don a mask to confront the harrowing incidents he faced on the job. His unique perspective on peer counseling, the restraints of doctor debriefing, and the vital role books play in helping officers cope, adds a layer of depth to the conversation.
In the face of criticism, Adam stands tall, demonstrating the power of sharing personal stories. Despite the adversities, he believes that God used his law enforcement experiences to journey towards healing and restoration. Through his story, he encourages us all to acknowledge our own pain, seek help, forgive, and surrender to Jesus which leads to living unconquered. As we close this episode, we pause to reflect on the impact of our experiences and the significance of vocalizing our pain to aid others. Join us as we explore the power of restoration and healing through this inspiring conversation with Adam Davis.

A Prayer for When the Past Tries to Define You - Your Daily Prayer - October 15
Being created in God’s image, we have a plan and purpose for our lives (Genesis 1:27, Psalm 57:2, Jeremiah 29:11). That promise should give us hope and the confidence to step into the future, so why do we remain stuck? The answer is clear. We are in a spiritual battle.
