TW: Sex trafficking

Sound of freedom hit theaters July 4th and it is an independent action film directed by Alejandro Monteverde.
The story is about Tim Ballard. He is a former Department of Homeland Security agent and the founder and former CEO of Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.) an anti-sex trafficking organization.
Sound of freedom tells Tim Ballard's story of his Operation Triple Take, a joint action between OUR and the Colombian government that reportedly rescued 123 trafficked people—55 of whom were children. So why are we talking about this? Sounds like a good story, right?
Well Ballard is not all he's cracked up to be. Ballard and OUR aren’t actually central to the international fight against human trafficking. The majority of the [anti-trafficking] field views them as fringe. They’re on the outs of this genre. They like to sell sensationalism…and they fundraise off it. Because Christians love that shit.

Cynane and I discuss the new Sound of Freedom movie, Qanon, Jim Caviezel, Tim Ballard, OUR organization, sex trafficking, and much more.

We are jumping right back into this episode and continuing our conversation with Shannon TL Kearns, a former fundamentalist who became the first openly transgender man ordained to the Old Catholic priesthood. If you have not listened to Ep 65 with Shannon you may want to do that before listening to this weeks episode. We discuss trans issues, trans theology and Christianity. We also discuss how people can be in better solidarity with trans folks today and what listening to trans folks might open up for people who aren't trans.
Shannon believes in the transformative power of story. As an ordained priest, a playwright, a theologian, and a writer all of his work revolves around making meaning through story. He is the co-founder of QueerTheology.com. His first book In the Margins: A Transgender Man’s Journey With Scripture just released from Eerdmaan’s books.
