Securing the Sanctuary-Christian Warrior Training

If these videos help you, please consider upgrading your subscription to help us keep CWT up and running.Today a police officer in Montreal shot and killed an innocent man during an active shooter call, and church security people are already lining up to criticize her. I am going live to say what most of them do not want to hear: a lot of you would have done the exact same thing. I will break down what happened, why that officer fired on the wrong man, and how the same selection and training failures are sitting on church security teams right now. We will end in the Word on the one thing that keeps you from killing the wrong person.What we will cover* What happened in Montreal this morning, and what the official statements are careful not to say* Why that officer shot the wrong man, from thirty years of reading footage like this* The hard reason this keeps happening: wrong people in the role, never trained* Why owning a gun is not the same as being ready to use it* The church security people criticizing this officer who would get the same result* What you are really doing when you fill a slot instead of building a protector* “I would rather be shot than shoot the wrong person,” and why discernment is built, not issued* Hebrews 5:14, and how trained discernment is the difference between saving a life and taking the wrong oneCopyright © 2026 Keith Graves.

It is how we keep CWT running!LINKS FOR GEAR AT BOTTOMonight I will be hosting a short live session to discuss the current conflict involving Iran and what it could mean for churches here in the United States.International conflicts often create ripple effects at home. When tensions rise between the United States and hostile regimes, security agencies begin watching for retaliation, proxy activity, and lone actor threats. Churches are sometimes included in these concerns because they are open gatherings with predictable schedules.During this livestream I will walk through the latest developments, discuss the realistic risks churches should understand right now, and look at what Scripture teaches about protecting the innocent. We will also spend some time looking at Romans 13 and what it means when the Bible speaks about restraining evil.The goal of this discussion is awareness and discernment so that churches can remain open, continue worshiping Christ, and operate with wisdom during uncertain times.GEAR LINKS* My “homework” bag that holds my PDW & has body armor inside* T shirt body armor under $300* My encrypted comms* My Glock 45 MOS* My recommended rifle I do recommend putting a different brace on it This is a public episode.
