Podcast Overview

Defenders and Disciples are conscientious protectors of their families, communities, and their Faith. When called to defend our values, we will most likely default to our level of training and education rather than rise to the occasion. Therefore, proper education, instruction, and training are imperative. Faith and firearms may not seem to coexist; however, I would recommend that you have the former figured out before needing to use the latter.
