AQAP released a new English-language Inspire video calling Muslims in the West to remain in place and conduct lone-wolf attacks. A federal court sentenced a Michigan man to 20 years for ISIS support and possession of a TATP bomb the FBI pulled off the street in 2017. Three church-targeted criminal incidents broke open in three different states, including direct threats sent to a church youth group in South Carolina. The training focus this week is vehicle and pedestrian protection, driven by the Millbrook crash that took a driver’s life when his pickup ran through the front of a church on Friday morning.We also announce the launch of the Christian Warrior SAR Bulletin, a new weekly product covering Suspicious Activity Reports submitted through the CWT portal.

He charged the Secret Service checkpoint, opened fire, and put a round into a federal agent’s chest plate. The agent survived because he was wearing his vest. Allen was tackled, handcuffed, and is now in custody.The President and First Lady were inside that ballroom. So were members of the Cabinet, senators, and journalists. Allen wanted them. He did not get them. He got stopped at the door.Let’s set the politics and press coverage aside. The Hilton was a hard target with professional security at the entry point. Allen was a determined lone actor and the team at the door shut him down. That is what your team is supposed to do at your church on Sunday morning. The reason this matters for every church in America is what Allen would have done if that checkpoint had not been there.The ShooterAllen is from Torrance, California. He has no criminal record. He earned a mechanical engineering degree from Caltech in 2017 and a master’s in computer science from Cal State Dominguez Hills in 2025. He worked the past six years as a tutor at C2 Education and was named Teacher of the Month in December 2024. He looked like a quiet, employed young man. No flags.He legally bought a .38 semiautomatic pistol in October 2023 and a 12-gauge shotgun in August 2025. He stored both at his parents’ house without their knowledge. His sister told federal investigators he had been making increasingly radical statements over the last several months, talking about doing “something” about the issues in today’s world. He trained at the range regularly. None of his coworkers, students, or parents saw it coming. Before the attack he sent a written manifesto to family. His brother in Connecticut called New London PD. The warning came in minutes before he charged the checkpoint.Federal law enforcement and the President publicly confirmed Sunday that Allen’s social media accounts contained anti-Christian rhetoric, and that his writings reflected what the President called a “religious” motive that was “strongly anti-Christian.” The specific posts have not been released yet.There is one detail in this profile that I want every pastor and youth ministry leader in America to read twice. During his undergraduate years at Caltech, Cole Allen was listed as a member of a Christian fellowship group on campus. He sat in those rooms. Somewhere between 2017 and Saturday night, that young man’s heart turned far enough that he loaded a shotgun and drove across the country to kill people he believed were the enemy. We will come back to that.Why This Matters for Your ChurchThe Washington Hilton on Saturday night was a hard target. Magnetometers at the door. Secret Service inside and outside. Local police, federal agents, K-9 teams. Allen still tried it because the President was inside. He did not succeed because the team at the door did its job.Now think about a lone actor with the same hatred Allen had who does not have the appetite to charge a Secret Service line. He looks at the federal building downtown. He looks at the Hilton. Then he looks at the small Baptist church on the corner with two greeters at the door, the parking lot wide open, and the front doors propped during the service. He picks the church.That is the operational logic of every lone wolf attack we have studied. A hard target pushes the threat to a softer one. The threat does not go away. It moves. A man willing to die rushing the President’s security detail Saturday night is a man willing to walk into a worship service Sunday morning and not stop until the magazine runs dry. The team at the door is what stands between him and that morning.The Lord told us this directly. “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.” (Matthew 10:16, ESV) Wisdom and watchfulness are not optional for the people of God. They are commanded.The Pipeline Pointing at UsFor more than a year on this platform we have

This is not a meet-and-greet. This is a brain dump. Seven hours of church security work pulled from my 29 years in law enforcement, including narcotics and SWAT, and from everything I have built training teams across the country.What We’re CoveringYou are going to walk out with the framework, the doctrine, and the practical steps to go home and fix what needs fixing on your team.We will work through recognizing pre-attack indicators before a situation turns violent. We will build out what a comprehensive church security team actually looks like, including roles, assignments, and accountability. We will go deep on access control, surveillance, and how to monitor a service without turning your church into a fortress.We will talk through use-of-force, legal exposure, and liability, which is where most teams get themselves in trouble. We will discuss how to actually coordinate with local law enforcement so that when something happens, they are not walking in blind. And we will talk about the culture piece, because a church that feels like an airport checkpoint has lost something important.Who Needs to Be TherePastors. Elders. Security team leaders and members. Ushers and greeters, because they are your first line of contact. Volunteers who want to serve this way. Faith-based school staff. Ministry leaders. And any law enforcement partners who want to understand how to better support the churches in their jurisdiction.Whether you are starting from zero or you have a team that has been running for years and needs a tune-up, you will leave with work to do and the tools to do it.Why I’m Telling You This DirectlyI do not get to the Southeast often. I am based in the western United States and my travel schedule is what it is. I do not know when I will be back in Florida to teach a full-day course like this. If you have been meaning to come to a CWT training in person, this is your chance.I am going to make it worth your time.The DetailsEvent: Christian Warrior Training - Securing Sacred Spaces Date: Saturday, May 2, 2026 Time: 9 AM to 4 PM Location: Cornerstone Baptist Church, 1100 West Highland Boulevard, Inverness, FL 34452 Host: Right To Bear AssociationRegistration: This will not be televised, in person only.Use promo code CWT to attend for FREE.Seats are limited. Register now, then make your travel plans.Bring Your TeamIf you are a team leader, do not come alone. Bring your second. Bring your whole team if you can drive in together. The training compounds when more than one person from the same team hears the same material at the same time. You will leave the parking lot already building your plan.Nehemiah 4:9 tells us, “And we prayed to our God and set a guard as a protection against them day and night.” Prayer and preparation. Both. Always.I will see you May 2 in Inverness.Remember your ABCs. Always Be Carrying (seriously, I’m going to ask you what you’re carrying).Leave a comment below if you are planning to come — I want to know who to look for. And please share this post with your pastor and your team leader. Someone in your network needs to be in that room. This is a public episode.
