Topic: Courage in today’s culture

Guest: Victor Marx is a former Marine who saves children from abuse and trafficking.

Rebuilding our culture won’t happen unless men are willing to stand up and be courageous and bold to bring the light, hope and truth of Jesus to our culture.

Victor Marx is a former Marine, speaker, author, podcaster and a high-risk humanitarian going to some of the most dangerous areas of the world to set captives free — physically, emotionally and spiritually. Victor’s focus is on rescuing abused, traumatized and trafficked children and women, and hunting predators to bring them to justice. Victor’s passion for freeing children is fueled by his own experience being tortured and abused as a child — trauma that spiraled into drug use, fighting and stealing as a teen. He shares his powerful story with us. Victor’s story along with practical life advice he shares in this conversation will help you resolve to make a difference in your own life, and inspire you to be more bold, courageous and passionate about rescuing our lost culture. When faith meets action, it has the power to bring hope and healing to the most dangerous and broken places in the world.
