About Psalm 91 Consulting
Psalm 91 Consulting was founded with a deep commitment to safeguarding those who dedicate their lives to serving others. The tragic church shooting in Nashville in 2023, where a gunman targeted a school associated with a church, highlighted the urgent need for enhanced security measures within faith-based organizations. This devastating event, which resulted in multiple casualties and brought profound grief to the community, serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities that can impact places of worship and other community spaces.
Recognizing the unique challenges faced by churches, non-profits, and community groups, Psalm 91 Consulting offers specialized security solutions tailored to their specific needs. Our services include comprehensive risk assessments, detailed documentation, and actionable recommendations designed to bolster safety and resilience. Our mission is to equip each organization with the tools and insights needed to protect their communities effectively, enabling them to focus on their vital missions with confidence and peace of mind.
Why Psalm 91?
Psalm 91 Consulting draws its name and inspiration from Psalm 91, a passage that emphasizes divine protection, security, and trust. This scripture underscores the commitment to providing safety and security, which aligns with our core mission of delivering high-quality security consulting services.
Bible Passage:
Psalm 91 (NLT):
Those who live in the secret place of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.
For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.
He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day.
Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you.
Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished.
If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter,
no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home.
For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.
They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.
You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!
The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.
When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them.
I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.”
