#LovinLebanon Podcast

A little disclaimer for Episode 133 of The #LovinLebanon Podcast, if you’ve got young ones in the car, or within earshot.

Back in July, the Lebanon Police Department hosted three different showings of the movie Sound of Freedom at the Lebanon 7 theater. Each showing was well attended, and it sparked a lot of positive conversation surrounding child exploitation prevention.

Discretion is advised in this episode, as Amy Dickerson and Justin Fuston from the Lebanon Police Department, along with LPD Chaplain Ryan Vinson and Kassie Frazier from Sylvia’s Child Advocacy Center provide insight on how the movie nights came to be, why they were so important, and how we can continue to protect our kids.
