Brent struggled silently as a cop with PTSD, until he sought counseling and returned to Jesus Christ.

“When President Nelson came out and said to repent daily, I’m like, how about hourly? Or every 15 minutes for a while. That’s when I realized, after going through all of this, that I was a better cop. I had learned an empathy that I didn’t know existed in me and I realized that most people are good, even when they’re doing stuff that’s not. I realized that a lot of people were going through things that led them to deal with us. That they were broken too and this is how they coped with being broken. I wasn’t in a different place than they were. My outlet was just different than theirs. But that brokenness was still the same.”
