Safety and security stewardship in ministry settings extends far beyond armed guards and visible presence; it’s about creating an environment where everyone feels protected and cared for. Former pastor and insurance agent Steve Bensema shares stories, practical advice, and lessons learned from both pastoral and insurance perspectives, detailing how ministries can build holistic safety teams, implement practical steps, and leverage specialized insurance coverage to prepare for both the everyday and the unthinkable. The conversation explores actionable ways to equip churches while reframing risk management as an act of loving stewardship, not fear.
