If you have listened much at all to the Slave Stealer Podcast you know what a support Glenn Beck has been to the anti trafficking cause over the last few years. A while ago Glenn agreed to narrate a few of these stories for us.  Please help us show the world the light at the end of the tunnel that still shines.  We appreciate the original arrangements of Slave Songs and Civil Rights anthems arranged by Rashida Jordan Call and Kyson Kidd in collaboration with Yahosh Bonner.

Listen to front-line stories from guys rescuing kidnapped children from sex slavery. Yep, that's a thing. Right now, there are over 2 MILLION children being sold and traded for sex.  Timothy Ballard has saved hundreds of children himself. Tim left the Department of Homeland Security to start a non-profit, child rescue team, called Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.). Hear how they do it? It's candid and visceral. It's not explicit, but it's also not recommended for children.

A few years ago Alejandro Monteverde started writing a fictional story about child trafficking. Around that time he met Tim Ballard and it caused him to scrap the script... since then he has been finishing "The Sound of Freedom" based on the true story of Tim's journey to where he is now.  Tim and Mark had a sneak preview of a director's cut. Immediately after the film, Mark sat with Alejandro(director and co-writer), Rod Barr (writer), and Brian Scofield (editor) to understand their philosophical and practical approach to telling a rough story so delicately and artfully.  The Sound of Freedom will likely hit screens this coming Spring (2020).   

The Sound of Freedom

You may know Lindsey Stirling as "the dancing violinist" with over 2 BILLION youtube hits. But after this episode you may know her as a warrior for freedom and collaborator on the score for the upcoming feature film, "The Sound of Freedom". Tim and Mark sat with Lindsey in Hollywood moments after they previewed a directors cut of the upcoming film. In this episode you'll get Tim's initial reaction to the film as well as Lindsey's thoughts on how she might approach music for it. We were touched by her thoughts on freedom and captivity. We love you Lindsey. Thanks for your commitment to making the human race freer. 

Light in the Darkness with Lindsey Stirling

Special guest, Dave Acosta, is an expert in active shooter scenarios. His approach to stopping shooters is empowering and effective. What is it? Simply put, it's to fight back. In this special episode, Dave outlines a tactical approach to fighting back. He has now instructed over 6000 educators in the USA and internationally.  While we realize that this is a break from the regular trafficking conversations, we also realize that our audience, YOU, are actively searching for ways to protect your children and the children of the world.  Thank you for your continued support.  Tim and Mark   

Special on School Shootings

We've all heard soundbites of White House meetings, but how much behind the scenes have you heard? Well, today that's what we're delivering. Last month Tim Ballard was asked (with not much notice) to meet with President Trump, Ivanka Trump, and leaders of several security agencies to discuss trafficking at the border. We'll also discuss southern border policies that are effecting the well being of children today.  And finally, Tim showed up with a box of surprises, including an unexpected bronze statue... and he's not telling who it is until the end.     

Tim's visit with the President

There's an attempted genocide underway that has largely gone unmentioned in the American press. ISIS is systematically killing the Yazidi people and Christian groups in Iraq and Syria. Those that are not killed are being trafficked for sex, labor, and organ harvesting. Our guest today, Glenn Beck, has founded an organization that has saved over 11,000 Yazidis and Christians, by funding and executing escape, rescue, and relocation.  Glenn is an American political commentator, radio host and television producer. He is the CEO, founder, and owner of Mercury Radio Arts, as well a founder of The Nazarene Fund. Last year, Glenn named Tim Ballard as CEO of The Nazarene Fund.  You'll note the friendship between Glenn, Tim, and Mark. A few years ago, Glenn hired Mark as Creative Director of Mercury Radio Arts.
