Fall 2025

A note from our founder...

Hello, Friends!

There is a battle between good and evil an invisible war that in recent months has become frighteningly visible. Mass shootings. The brutal murder of a young woman on a train while others satnearby and we watched the heart-wrenching assassination of Charlie Kirk, a young man of deep faith, family, and patriotism.

In this recent barrage of shocking audacity, the world is realizing that evil no longer hides. It is bold, brazen, and broadcasted without shame. But this evil is no surprise to our law enforcement officers. Our officers are working these tragedies, actively engaged in the fighting of this evil. They have faced it for years.

Although not everyone they encounter is evil, our officers have experienced it in bloody crime scenes, in the bruised cries of victims they try to protect, in the violence on riot lines, and in the empty, soulless eyes they confront in critical moments. Our officers see evil. They touch it. Smell it. Work against it day after day, night after night.

The stresses and traumas of this evil have imprinted themselves on our officers’ hearts, in their minds, on their bodies. It has a profound effect on them—physically, relationally, emotionally, and spiritually. And though we may call our officers superheroes, they are not superhuman. Neither are the families who love them.

This is why our mission at How 2 Love Our Cops is so critical. We exist to educate, encourage, equip, and empower law enforcement families to help them thrive in their relationships, to experience wellness and resilience amid the damage of this growing evil, and to deepen goodness through spiritual awakening and restoration.

Since 2017, our How 2 Love Our Cops Team has been growing steadily strengthening marriages, saving marriages on the brink of divorce, helping to restore officers and families to health, and even saving now eight lives from suicide.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, we’ve seen three responses in our culture. There are those who openly celebrated his death with laughter and hatred. There are those who bury their heads, paralyzed by apathy or fear, hoping the evil they’ve seen will just go away. And then there are many who have awakened. Pausing. Reflecting. Rethinking who we are as individuals and as a people. How 2 Love Our Cops is in this last group.

We are not a political organization, although our families are profoundly affected by politics. We are not a religious organization, though many of our team members, including myself, serve in response to their faith in God.

We are about peace, bringing restoration and hope to hearts and homes as we navigate the consequences of a rising evil. Evil only wins if good men and women do nothing. Law enforcement is the last line of defense for peace in this nation and that thin blue line is thinner than ever.

This is why our work is so vital and timely. By building up and strengthening homes—the families of those on the front lines, we together strengthen our officers, and help keep the thin blue line standing.

As you consider your year-end giving, please keep us in mind! We need your support, and your prayers!
