Blue Halo
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth ... and it was good! Thousands of years later, He created law enforcement ... because it was necessary! The Blue Halo Podcast unites law enforcement, the justice system and just a dash of politics, with the many aspects of the Bible. The connections are everywhere! Jeff Wamboldt, a 30 year law enforcement veteran, will host this endeavor, providing incite and personal experiences from his personal life and the lives of fellow officers. Some experiences will seem tragic, others humorous, but all will be informative, enlightening and entertaining. And some tough questions will be answered along the journey: Can we find God in human tragedy? Can the Justice System sometimes seem not so "just?" Is life fair? All this and much more will be discussed on the Blue Halo Podcast.
