First Responder Wellness Podcast with Conrad Weaver23 Juli 2025

91 - Faith: A Foundation for Resilience - with Sgt. Jason Sery

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Conrad Weaver sits down with veteran police officer Jason Sery, who shares his 26-year journey in law enforcement, his unwavering Christian faith, and the hidden toll that comes with a life in service. Jason opens up about the emotional and psychological weight of his career — from experiencing trauma firsthand to carrying the burdens of others as a peer support officer and Bible study leader. He courageously reveals how his unprocessed pain and internalized stress led him to the brink of suicide during a family vacation in Hawaii.

With humility and grace, Jason shares how God's intervention, solid therapy, and the support of his faith community saved his life and re-anchored his purpose. He also discusses the challenges of being a Christian in a secular profession and offers guidance for officers struggling silently with their faith or mental wellness. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, Jason’s vulnerability and authenticity will leave a lasting impact.
