In this episode of Fearless with Mark & Amber, we explore biblical discernment in the last days, anchored in Jude 17–23, and discuss how believers can navigate division, cultural noise, and online outrage without losing sight of Christ.

Mark and Amber reflect on current events, church leadership issues, media controversies, and why obedience to Christ must always come before allegiance to people or platforms. This conversation challenges Christians to recognize scoffers, resist division, and walk in truth, wisdom, and humility.

We also share ministry updates, upcoming events, and encouragement for families and churches standing firm in today’s culture.

325. | Legalized Child Trafficking? Exposing AB 495, Parental Rights, and the Spiritual

War on Families

In this urgent episode of Fearless with Mark & Amber, we expose California’s shocking AB 495

—legislation critics are calling “state-sanctioned child trafficking.” We dive deep into how this

bill strips parental rights, legalizes child removal without verification, and opens the door for

exploitation.

replacement migration, spiritual warfare, pastors staying silent, and the urgent need for the

Church to wake up—you’ll get clarity, truth, and a battle plan.

Title:

325. | Legalized Child Trafficking? Exposing AB 495, Parental Rights & Spiritual Warfare

California’s AB 495 is being called “state-sanctioned kidnapping.” In this episode, Mark &

Amber reveal how this shocking law allows strangers to take children from school, approve

medical procedures—even without notifying parents.

We connect the dots between CPS abuse, child trafficking, spiritual warfare, silent pastors, and

the urgent need for believers to stand up. Revival is rising through contrast, but the Church must

act NOW.

We also share updates on our Title IX and Principalities films, upcoming screenings in Colorado

and Indiana, and how you can join the movement to protect children and defend biblical truth.

Topics Covered:

• AB 495 breakdown & parental rights crisis

• How CPS is weaponized against Christian parents

• Child trafficking and state complicity

• Replacement migration & globalist agenda

• Why pastors must speak up—or get out of the way

• Why YOU are the Church and the watchman

• Revival through contrast

• Upcoming screenings and ministry updates

Gaslighting is everywhere—from relationships and media narratives to political spin and even inside the Church. In this powerful episode, we expose how psychological manipulation is used to make you doubt reality, silence truth, and control culture… and how God’s Word equips us to stand firm.

🎭 Where did the term “gaslighting” come from?
It originated from the 1938 stage play Gas Light (later adapted into the famous 1944 film), where a husband manipulates his wife into believing she’s going insane by dimming the gas lights and denying it’s happening. The story became the perfect metaphor for psychological abuse and deception—and today, we see it weaponized on a massive scale in society and media.

🔥 In this episode we discuss:
• What gaslighting REALLY is (and how to recognize it)
• How the enemy uses manipulation and confusion as spiritual warfare
• Why culture denies obvious truth (“Antifa doesn’t exist,” “Did God really say?”)
• Biblical examples of gaslighting from Genesis to the Gospels
• Why silent churches are losing influence
• How believers can boldly speak truth in a world of lies

✅ If you've ever been told you're “crazy,” “overreacting,” or “imagining things”… this episode will set you free with TRUTH.

12:30 – Media montage: “Antifa doesn’t exist” = modern gaslighting 
17:25 – History of Antifa & accusing others of what YOU are doing 
19:10 – Chaos vs. God’s order: spiritual warfare in action 
29:37 – Gaslighting through culture, media, and fear tactics
