Husband, father, Marine, K9 Officer and A&E Top Dog Champion, Sgt Mark Tappan joins us this week. He's got over 5,000,000 Social Media followers and has written a couple of books.

Mark felt a calling to move across the country and start over in a new city. He shares an incredible story about an arrest he and his dog Mattis were involved in. It had me on the edge of my seat when I read it. I couldn't read fast enough!

The two things mark aims to do as a Police Officer are to Glorify God and make others safe. He seeks Justice and walks Humbly as he does this.

-How does parents attitudes towards police officers affect our children?

-What are some things we can do to help protect our children now and in the future?

-Why should we live with Excellence and Integrity?

-How does Mark hear from God?

He shares a funny story about the first time he prayed the sinner's prayer.

This Week's Challenge: Find a teachable moment this week and share some of your insight with your children. Use this as a way to guide them and also build connection with them. Bonus points: You can look to share about the most important relationship you'll ever have.
