Fighting fire is cool, but what are you doing with your life to impact those around you and making sure they are taken care of? Will people remember you for being a “hell of a fireman” or will they speak of you for more?

“Here Am I! Send Me”, (Isaiah 6:8) was what the prophet Isaiah told the Lord before he knew what he was going up against. The people’s hearts would be hardened, not softened. But Isaiah knew that he had to do what the Lord put before him, no matter the cost. Are you willing to go where the Lord sends you? Maybe it’s before people to challenge them. Maybe it’s before people to help sharpen them. Maybe it’s before people to uncover the word of God. Maybe it’s before people to help lead them into a new life. Maybe it’s before people to speak truth that will harden their hearts. Whatever it is, are you willing?

Every effort goes back to this statement right here. We do a heck of job honoring our people after they’re gone. We put on our Class A uniforms, have an incredible service, have bagpipes playing, say sweet words to the family, let them know we’ll be here for them if they need anything, we have a meal together afterwards, and share some drinks together. But honoring someone means that they’re already gone. I hear so often the things people say, especially when we lose another brother or sister to su***de, “I wish I had just known they were struggling” or “I wish they would have asked for help, we would have done everything possible to help them” or “I just thought about them last week, I wish I would have text them or called them when I thought about them”. We have every opportunity right now to FIGHT for those beside us. To make sure that we pour everything we can into them and that they truly are loved and taken care of. We owe it the people we work beside to be there for them at any moment. This isn’t a normal job, so we can’t act like normal people. It’s time to start doing more for your people if you aren’t.

It was an honor and pleasure to hang out with Plano Fire-Rescue and talk about Next Rung, mental health in the fire service, and how to truly impact the people you work beside. 12 classes | 6 days | And few hundred fireman (admin and field personnel) cycled through on shift. If you are interested in doing the same for your department, let me know! Forever grateful for what the Lord continues to allows us to be a part of.

Tried and true. We won’t lie, we’re all human and all fall short, but we will do everything in our power to be the resource and people that you need us to be. Our team is real and they all have the same mentality, to make a difference in the people that make up this great career. One conversation at a time, we’re doing what we can to change the fire and first responder service.

If the people you work beside aren't part of your mission, you're doing it wrong. May you never look back and wish you could have done more. No matter the day, circumstances, or position… pour into your people and give a crap about them.
