From Patrol to Pakistan: The Unlikely Path of Tyler Tompkins
On this episode of Courageous Crossroads, Jeff Johnson sits down with Tyler Tompkins—
former police lieutenant, real estate entrepreneur, and board member of Exodus 51, a nonprofit that rescues Christian slaves in Pakistan. Born and raised in small-town Iowa, Tyler shares how his path from farming and law enforcement to international human rights work was shaped not by a single moment of courage, but by a long series of faithful yeses. With raw honesty, he opens up about wrestling with church hurt, rediscovering faith, and finding purpose in uncomfortable places. From riding solo as a rookie cop to freeing over 13,000 slaves overseas, Tyler reveals how courage often looks like showing up, stepping out, and trusting God with the unknown.
