Episode 165 - Protector’s Prayer

Written By Tony Godwin

There are moments in life when you realize your plans were never really your own.

This episode of the CatFish Cops Podcast is one of those moments.

We had the incredible privilege of sitting down with Nick Menster, the creator of The Protector's Prayer—a message that has reached countless law enforcement officers, first responders, military members, and protectors around the world. What began as a conversation quickly became something much greater: a reminder that every calling, every sacrifice, every hardship, and every victory points to something far bigger than ourselves. What started as an act of obedience has grown into a movement encouraging protectors to see their calling through a Christ-centered lens.

As investigators, officers, and protectors, we often witness the darkest parts of humanity. Yet even in that darkness, there is hope, purpose, and a God who never wastes our experiences.

This isn't just another podcast episode. It's a conversation about faith, courage, calling, and the unseen hand of God working through ordinary people willing to answer an extraordinary calling.

Whether you wear a badge, a military uniform, serve your community, or simply need encouragement to keep pressing forward, this episode is for you.

The message is simple:

It's never been about us. It has always been... For His Glory.
