Saints And The City Episode 5: Faith Through The Fire Series with Joey Spector

To kickoff our Faith Through The Fire series here on SATC, we had the privilege and honor to interview Joey Spector--a former police officer and firefighter who now advocates across the country on the necessity of mental health help for our first responders. His testimony and story is hard to hear but necessary. A beautiful soul and story in this almost two hour interview--and it was an honor to have him as our first guest.

If you or anyone is in need of mental health or just in need of someone to talk to please call: 988 or text 988. If you are in Arizona please call 1-844-534-hope. If you are a fellow first responder please reach out to your member services/ EAP.
