But ask us to explain why we’ve been in the same argument with our spouse for three days straight, and it suddenly gets foggy. Underneath a lot of that confusion is a simple pattern Emerson Eggerichs calls the “Crazy Cycle” (Eggerichs’ book, Love

It follows you through the front

The critical incidents, the dead victims, the domestics, the suicides, the officer‑involved shootings - none of that simply vanishes just because you turned in your shift key or hung your vest on the chair. Unprocessed trauma doesn’t

Among these, the decision to marry—and whom to marry—is one of the

We cease to grow.” I couldn’t agree more. As a detective and evidentialist, the last thing I want a jury to do is adopt a position blindly. Many people (including my

Whenever I make this distinction, someone inevitably asks, “If you’re simply making the most reasonable inference from the evidence, what’s the need for ‘faith’ at all?”

If you're a Christian police officer in America, you’ve probably noticed it’s increasingly difficult (and unpopular) to hold a Christian worldview as well. Fewer and fewer of us identify as Christians in what is quickly

Many people simply don’t understand the basic categories of evidence and mistakenly think prosecutors need a particular kind of evidence to be successful. As it turns out, evidence falls into one of two categories: direct and indirect. Direct evidence is simply eyewitness testimony. Indirect evidence (also known as

Maybe that’s why we have a hard time accepting
