What happens when God calls Jeremy Wade to leave everything secure behind, and step into the unknown mission field of first responders?Recap: In Part 1, Jeremy and Ketryna shared how God began stirring their hearts amid the growing darkness surrounding law enforcement. In Part 2, the calling becomes undeniable, and the cost becomes real.In this powerful continuation, Jeremy Wade shares firsthand what it meant to serve the frontlines during one of the most volatile seasons in modern policing, where spiritual warfare was not just symbolic, it was palpable. As a veteran First Responder and leader, Jeremy witnessed the emotional, psychological, and spiritual toll on officers facing relentless hostility, fear, and uncertainty. Yet in the middle of chaos, God was strengthening his foundation, preparing him not just to endure, but to lead.Ketryna offers a deeply personal perspective from home, revealing the quiet courage required of families who stand behind those who serve. Together, they unpack the tension between security and obedience, and how God used prayer, fasting, Scripture, and unexpected confirmation to make their calling unmistakably clear.Jeremy’s expertise as a First Responder and his lived experience inside law enforcement uniquely positioned him to reach this overlooked mission field. Through faith, courage, and surrender, Jeremy and Ketryna stepped away from stability and into full-time ministry, trusting that obedience to God’s calling mattered more than comfort.This episode is a powerful reminder that the mission field is often closer than we think, and that God prepares His people long before He calls them to go.Faith, courage, and obedience define those willing to step into darkness and carry hope, and in our next episode, you’ll hear a story of courage and faith from another first responder.About Mission First AllianceMission First Alliance is a national non-profit bringing Real Hope to first responders and their families.
