TRIGGER WARNING: This episode talks about human trafficking.

"'Sound of Freedom’ Is a Superhero Movie for Dads with Brainworms. The QAnon-tinged thriller about child-trafficking is designed to appeal to the conscience of a conspiracy-addled boomer.’” That’s what RollingStone said about the movie based on a true story about rescuing children from trafficking and exploitation.

Today, Megan raises awareness for human trafficking, talks about the new movie 'Sound of Freedom', irresponsible headlines and articles surrounding this film, and the hope we have in Christ in the middle of a world with so much tragedy.

Note: There is no 'Dear Meg' segment in this episode.
