What We Do

Our Mission

The great paradox of life: The best thing about this world is people. The worst thing about this world is people.

In my few years as an officer, I saw the worst parts of humanity. It was disheartening but also revealing. A lot of people are hurting and many are hurting because of someone else. It highlighted the value and beauty of being good to folks and the merit of those who are willing to be a shield. Some of you have that heart to protect.

Our goal is to help equip you in this path in life.

In doing so, balance is important. Love has to be an element of this road. For if we lack it in this pursuit we too become cold. There has to be a compassion for our fellow man, but also a readiness to respond if needed. If we can strive for that balance, society is better for it. And so we pursue that path.

For the past few years Jake, the owner of Woodline Defense, has been setting up church security teams in Nebraska and Iowa, offering them training in de-esclation drills, active shooter response and firearm use. He has also been working with folks on an individual and team level, helping them develop their skill sets, at local ranges.

So whether you are looking for a personal trainer on the range, wanting to jump into some group sessions with your buddies, or better equip your security team, we are here to help you out.

Build that shepherd heart. Hold the Woodline.
