PODCAST: A Sidewalk Counselor’s Run-Ins with Police and an Overzealous Security Guard – Part 1

Download MP3 | 1:02:37

Josh Brahm brings Jacob Nels, ERI’s Sidewalk Counseling Trainer, to react to videos sent in by Rebekah Dyer while sidewalk counseling. Rebekah works with Justice For All, which includes her sidewalk counseling, and has benefitted from our Sidewalk Counseling Masterclass.

Rebekah has had multiple run-ins with police and private security officers while counseling near an abortion facility in California that is part of a strip mall. Jacob reviews the videos she sent in with Josh, talking about what Rebekah did well, anything else he would have done, as well as commenting on the officer’s behavior.

We split this into two episodes because of the length.
