After seeing the Sound of Freedom, I was inspired to create this episode and shed light on an important topic that needs more awareness - human trafficking and especially child sex trafficking and exploitation.

It's important that we no longer avoid these uncomfortable conversations so we can become educated and take action to help those in need. This has been dismissed for too long…there are 1.2 million CHILDREN trafficked each year…we can no longer sit silently and allow this to be buried under less important news stories & issues.

The movie itself is incredibly well done, with great acting and cinematography, it's no surprise that it's been dominating at the box office. It's based on a true story about Tim Ballard, a former special agent for the Department of Homeland Security who worked to combat internet crimes against children. The film follows his work in Operation Underground Railroad to bring down human traffickers and rescue children from their grasp.

The battle cry in the film will certainly stick with you long after you watch this movie…God's children are not for sale!
