Our Team
Bernard
Bernard is ETL's traveling evangelist, well-known for connecting with first responders at gas stations while they pump gas or grab their go-to energy drink on shift. He warmly greets them, shares the message of Christ, and offers prayer and encouragement.
With almost 20 years in law enforcement, primarily as an undercover detective, Bernard uses his testimony of faith in Christ—along with personal insights into mental health and relationship challenges—to inspire first responders wherever he goes. Bernard is a dedicated husband and father of three who enjoys skateboarding, coffee, and a wide range of music.

Tracey Warren
Hey ETL family! My name is Tracey. I am an Army veteran, firefighter, and a marriage and family therapy student. I have been given the honor to serve ETL since 2021 and it has been such a privilege! I am constantly amazed by what God is doing in and through you all.
He has given me a heart to join Him in the healing of first responders, military, and veterans as He guides me through my own. I look forward to meeting with/serving you all in the future by the grace of God. Leo de Juda est robur nostrum!

“JP”
JP brings 23 years of dedicated law enforcement experience, forged through sacrifice, and an unwavering commitment to truth and justice.
His life and leadership are firmly rooted in faith. JP believes strength is refined through obedience to God, humility before Him, and courage to stand when others will not. Scripture, prayer, and biblical principles guide both his personal life and his approach to mentoring and leadership.
At Enter The Lion, JP is passionate about calling men to step fully into their God-given role—as protectors, leaders, and servants. He challenges others to grow spiritually, mentally, and physically, understanding that true power comes not from domination, but from discipline, submission to God, and righteous action.
JP’s answer to the call is to help build men who lead with faith, act with courage, and live with purpose.
