Jonathan Hickory is an active duty Police Sergeant and the author of the award-winning book (now an award winning movie), Break Every Chain. With over 21 years of police experience, he spent seven years investigating the reconstruction of fatal vehicle crashes and three years as a motorcycle officer. Jonathan proudly serves as a member of the Police Department's Peer Support Team speaking life into fellow police officers. Jonathan developed and teaches a DCJS approved Resilience and Suicide Prevention class at the police academy. Jonathan has been married to his wife Stacy since 2004 and has three beloved children. As a veteran police officer, Jonathan has worked the streets, facing the darkest moments of humanity. After battling alcoholism and PTSD related depression for years, he found himself in the middle of the ultimate battle of good versus evil; the battle for his soul as he considered suicide. After allowing the enemy to destroy his life and his family for so long, Jonathan cried out for help from the only One who could save him. Turning to God has given Jonathan a new LIGHT in the perpetual darkness. As an author and speaker, Jonathan now helps others who are struggling with the difficulty of surviving this fallen world. Jonathan continues to speak life into others as he shares the power of what God can do, and continues to fight the battle against the stigma of getting help for mental health.
