Imagine being a police officer dispatched to the scene of a mass shooting. Upon arrival, you rush inside the building - A CHURCH. There, you witness 48 people who have been shot.
Twenty-six (26) of them will die.
Texas Police Officer Hank Fahnert responded to such a call.

Inside the sanctuary Officer Fahnert made sure the killer was not there. He then sprang into action, trying to save lives.
The church was First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, Texas. The small church would now be the site of the deadliest mass shooting in Texas history.

For several years after a Texas Police Officer stopped the first ISIS attack on American soil - for which he received the Presidential Medal of Valor - Colonel Grossman told the story of the heroics of the officer at his seminars.
One day a friend of Colonel Grossman suggested that he contact the officer (Greg Stevens - photo) and invite him to join him at some of his seminars, and share his remarkable story.
Not long afterwards, Colonel Grossman and Officer Stevens became close friends.
Both men were stunned at the reaction of the crowd when Colonel Grossman introduced Officer Stevens, and even more so after he shared the story. Greg was given standing ovations time after time. He quickly became an inspiration to all in attendance.
Greg's story is very captivating, and keeps the listener on the edge of his seat. However, we not only invite him so that attendees hear a thrilling story, but also hear (and learn) - THE SECRET of Greg's life - which contributed to his heroic actions - and kept him alive (and several hundred others).
You will understand what that means once you hear him.
THE DETAILS - On May 3, 2015, the first ISIS attack on American soil occurred. Two terrorists drove from Arizona to Texas with the intent of committing a massacre at a convention center.
They had with them several rifles and over 1400 rounds of ammunition. Officer Greg Stevens confronted the two terrorists as they exited their vehicle - with rifles in hand, fatally wounding both.
Greg’s story will confirm for you that “We do NOT rise to the occasion; we sink to the level of our training."
