In this episode you will hear:

 

• In the U.S., we are unbelievable consumers of prostitution, and what comes with that is minors.
• You’re on deployment every time you walk out of the house.
• One in four women is sexually assaulted or sexually abused.
• The sex trafficking crime is so open. It’s openly advertised.
• There are people that think we should defund the police. I think more reasonable people think we should reallocate funds and figure out ways to do this better. There are people out there who can augment what law enforcement is lacking.
• The [funding] money is gonna go where the people demand it.
• [Our organization], All Things Possible does everything from simple counseling to freeing sex slaves.
• Find strength in simply being alive. 
• What comes off of your tongue – what you speak – is what you become.
• The term “Yahweh” is the sound of breathing.
• The mere fact that we, as humans, are breathing, we’re saying the name of our Creator every time we breathe.
• What is God’s name? The thing that gives breath to everything that lives.
• The first thing a baby says is that breath of life. 
• One family, who lost their son on the battlefield, found relief in the fact that the last breath their son took was the name of our creator.
• Find strength, find solace, and find peace, in that simple act of breathing. If you’re alive, you’re saying God’s name, and He’s there to help to you.
