The Great Shalom Podcast : Overcoming Learning Problems

"God Wants Total Well-Being for All Children" is my normal outtro line. If God wants total-well-being, then God wants healing for your children. Let's consider that a little today.

Now, I also say all the time "I believe in healing, and I will take it any way it comes." This means that I believe in miracles. I pray for miracles. We need miracles. We see miracles. Miracles are instantaneous healings.  But healing can come over time. I will take that. Some times great healing takes place in lives and finances and learning through other graces, like love and wisdom mediate through people. Like maybe God will send someone with a word of wisdom or a talent in innovated education. I will take that too! Any way it comes!

Total bodily health starts with how God made things. So wisdom in living is useful. Even the Bible says that exercise is of some value. I am grateful for what honest researchers can find out and what honest helpers can do. But there are times when we need a breakthrough of God reaching out soveriegnly, I am willing to go after that.

Since we see this fairly often, all the more we should learn how to better go after that, yes? Let's consider this matter.

Sometimes we feel overwhelmed. Sometimes we feel scared, too timid to do anything.Sometimes we are confused about what is the right thing to do. Sometimes we are sleepy.  Sometimes we are discouraged. Sometimes we are tired. Sometimes we are distracted by our addictions. Sometimes then, we are overwhelmed.

TIME TO PULL OURSELVES OUT OF WHATEVER MUD WE ARE STUCK IN!

Let's engage our faith for a better future for our children. For better children.

The greatest legacy we leave is what we leave IN our children. But so often, we are under the circumstances. When our arms are weighed down, often we have to lift our hearts first. This is a call to envision better. To believe for better. That is the way... and then THE LORD has a container to fill.  It is HE would will give our arms strength -- even strength beyond what we can imagine. But first, let us lift up our eyes.

Better can happen. We can fly up. First, we have to stop aiming down. "Nothing can be done," is a lie. It seems like it is comfort, but really, it is enslaving!

SOMETHING CAN BE DONE! Lift up your eyes. Engage your faith!

This is the second half of our latest episode on how to not be snatched. So, here, we have tips for personal safety, especially for young mothers.

Also, do not miss our 2 parts previously aired about "BOLO" or how to be on the look out for human trafficking and who to call.

These 2 topics are tightly related. Since we have had a very lucrative business going on, and now supply sharply restricted, but demand has not, then American (or women and children who are not migrants).

While I am no expert in this topic, it is so important that it must be shared with everyone. Be aware! Head on a swivel. And notice that only in modern Christian nations have women felt safe to travel alone!

Came in today's email: https://us.norton.com/blog/emerging-threats/can-someone-track-my-phone?om_em_cid=hho_email_NORTON_NEWSLETTER_1568866&et_rid=323792348

This is incomplete info and I am not advertising Norton over other companies. However, this article does point out what your phone will tell you in some cases of being hacked or tracked.

Also, watch out for phishing: urgent emails that appear to be from a reputable company (or a government entity) that getyou to give them your security info.

There are other addresses, including the FTC, ICAN, FBI, and Paypal that will take reports

 

5/16/25 Unfortunately, I have to say "I told you so" again. These posts should have been shared very widely, but they just were not that popular. People like candy, not assignments. Today, on Next Door (social media for a larger neighborhood) there were 4 snatching attempts posted. Apparently, police are not yet taking the reports seriously. No one seems to connect the snatching attempts with cartel or border activity. There is just the usual conversation about walking home from school, having whistles, schools should... yada yada. Watch your children closely. Stand with them to wait for the bus. Teaching them to walk together and how to avoid being snatched. And please share this post.

My tips on how to avoid being snatched. Altho I am no expert on self-defense, I am passing along to you what has worked for me, what I have learned over the years through reading, and some ideas, as I understand them, from a recent self-defense presentation.  We hear "head on a swivel" but what exactly should we do and what should we look out for? I relay some stories.

I do recommend getting more training. There are a number of outlets online, including gun clubs, that have self-defense training. There may be videos from "preppers" on the various video platforms.

PROBABILITY MAY INCREASE

I am hearing both via experts on Rumble and via the self-defense expert that I allude to, that the probability of an American woman and/or her children being snatched is at a high and going higher. This is because there had been a very lucrative trade in humans, and the supply has gone down, but not the demand.

GETTING AT THE ROOT

May God help us! May the demand go down by a general revival of religion! We do hear that more younger men are turning to God. May it be and may it increase.The reason why The United States has been a safe and propserous country was that we were formed on the basis of a Biblical culture. It was those ideas that caused liberty and restrained government. Think of it: no where else in history have women been so free as to travel alone - except in the countries that were saturated in Christianity. Then, in those countries that lost that, they are losing safety and freedom as well. Let that not be us!

One example of online self-defense training for women  

The instructor in this video has learned traditional martial arts. Therefore, she doesn't pay enough attention to the need to YELL and RUN. Women need to learn that YELLING, especially when people are around is an option. When someone "hugs" you -- object loudly and do not let their shaming stop you. THEY WERE ACTING INAPPROPRIATELY. YOU have the decision making power. Don't touch me! Get away! Are all appropriate. If you can't do this in a social group, then you are not free in that group. Learn this and take back your freedom.

Being "not there" is often best. Running is often useful. Sometimes, however, the best option, as this instructor is saying, is control and fight, because running is expected and blocked. You have to use your own judgement. Just trying to point out options!

Here are other examples:

One more episode of tips coming. Tell your friends!

Last episode we said BOLO (be on the lookout). But what does that mean?  We talked about that: what to look for, and we picked it up there. Know the hand signal some one might use behind their back: thumb with fingers wrapped around.

But then, what do you do? Do you take them to law enforcement or hospital where they will be tortured again? And you might be accused? (Some foster moms, following instructions to take a new child for an exam have met ire of the doctors and even police, until they proved that they were the new foster mom. I hope you can find a trustworthy doctor or law enforcement officer. I sure wouldn't know one in my town.

So, I have passed along phone numbers recommended:

My informant said call :  866-347-2423    This is ICE, that is, immigration.

Sawman Sawyer Vets4ChildRescue says: https://vets4childrescue.org/how-to-report-child-abuse

call the FBI Submit a tip to the FBI at 1-800- 225-5324. They actually want tips. Please do this for apprehension

or National Center for Missing and Exploited Children  1-800-843-5678.   pr Report.cybertip.org

Yes, and of course, their may be times when you can not yourself rescue the child, but the FBI or the vets can.

For more information, you might want to watch Contraland, a movie associated with Sawman Sawyer. All of the mentioned ministries are accepting donations.

We just re-ran our wonderful memories from Dani Johnson back in 2009. Her book and advice are good. But today, we know that rather than a coming porn grab, we have had a much worse situation. Unbenownst to the good people, lots of children were - and most still are- being trafficked for sex, torture, research, and just plain evil.

So, what in the world should we do? Besides pray and be engaged citizens? I asked. Here are the answers I got.

HERE IS THE NUMBER MY INFORMANT TOLD ME: 866-347-2423 It appears to be a number for ICE, so use it for cases where the border crossing is at issue.

Here is an organization that says it fights trafficing, but notice, they are sending cases to state officials, which we call CPS in Texas (officially Child Protective Services, but now derisively called Child Prostitution Services.)

More info on how to tell if you are seeing children who are being trafficked: https://vets4childrescue.org/child-trafficking-signs-1

Back in 2009 advertising and multi-level marketing guru, Dani Johnson, told us that porn companies were targeting children. (She had at that time a new book, Grooming Children for Success, see last episode.) She was on a campaign. She proved to be right.

What none of us imagined was how far people would go. It was not just porn they wanted to sell, by addicting children early and then having a captive market. They wanted more. They wanted to groom... victims... and perpetrators.

Take a listen to what Dani said then. Still great advice for parents.

But for citizens, especially grandparents who have time to engage in the civil arena -- WHAT IS GOING ON? Did you know that nationwide there is a very strong push to sexualize children, to insist on pornographic materials be in school libraries and covertly in curricula. It is hard for older people in my neighborhood to believe, but teachers were told about 2020 not to send the porn books home. Not to tell parents. But the students did. But then, there was outpoliticking at the school board level. And anyone who objects to this is harrassed... yes, literally. Uniformed men harrass any parent who patiently waits for their 1 to 3 minutes of testimony. And then, there is no security walking out into the dark parking lot. Of course, even in this permitless carry state, no one is safe. Every bag carried in -- by a citizen-- must be clear and without a weapon. Only the harrassers, only the groomers, only the criminals may carry. And now the governor wants to control homeschooling curricula. But still, now 6 years into this... it is very hard to imagine. Unless you have seen it repeatedly.

(Notice more conservative state, more conservative county)

WHAT IS GOING ON?

And a smaller city in Texas has this week found a 3 teacher in as many weeks who had sexually depredated upon a child!  (more rural town)

WHAT IS GOING ON?

At the busy Texas legislative session, the House Judiciary Committee scheduled a hearing on accountability for government school employees sexually depredating upon children. Announcement was 8:00am. It was the last item on the agenda, item "T." At 9:30 am they were hearing invited testimony about increasing judges pay because they have to sign so many warrants in the middle of the night on the hoods of police cruisers. (I guess reading them first is not under consideration?) And this trumps ongoing sexual predation in state run schools and probably insufficient accountability?

WHAT IS GOING ON?

One of our most popular episodes was when Dani Johnson visited with us about her then new book: Grooming the Next Generation for Success. Prescient. Yes, she was ahead of the curve. Today, I trust you see how important this is.

By contrast, one of my most recent episodes, titled "Children are Important" has been one of my least listened to episodes. Ahem. Yes, this shows the values of society. How many times did I se, even years ago, women spend lots of money on cheap jewelry but nothing on education for their children. How many times have relatively wealthy people told me they didn't have money for private school. Children are important.

Your children are important to y our future. But children in general are "the canary in the coal mine" for the whole society.

And stuff is coming out now.

Next week we are going to replay Dani's episode with us that was her crusade against porn. Folks we need to make our children "ungroomable." More about this the following week. Also, you may see some changes around here. Tune in again, please.

For now, here is Dani's book: Grooming the Next Generation for Success

And for Dani now: https://www.danijohnson.com/    Please let's do pray for Dani. She is younger than I am; I am sure God and Dani have even more great plans. Let' pray for ourselves, that we take up the inspiration, and the torch, and the work.

HEALING

I wanted to talk some more about miraculous healings. Normally, when I do that here, I just open up the scriptures. Well, we did have some testimonies: Betty, Melanie, and Shelby. But I wanted something fresh and here came Mario Murillo's movie: "I am Living Proof."

It was shot at one of his meetings; this one in Colorado Springs. In the movie you visit with 3 people who got miraculously healed.

EARLY AND LATE

Unfortunately, given the crush of work on me, I was not able to get this recorded and edited and published while the movie was still in the theaters. However, the stories are true. You can certainly find Brother Mario's meetings on his website:  MarioMurillo.org

Maybe he will put out the movie in DVD format?

While the episode is late given the movie, I am posting it early given the weeks' schedule. Still overwhelming. Every joint supplies.

POINT HERE: WE BELIEVE IN HEALING AND WE WILL TAKE IT ANY WAY IT COMES

Please remember: the point for GSb and OLP is that we believe in miracles and we will take them any way they come. Yes, we believe frank miracles. We also believe in healing -- improvement over time. We also believe in healthful life style. We also believe in innovative, improved teaching methods. (about which, see our books   both Learn at Home for Great Shalom and Re-founding Education.) We also believe in faith applied (see How to Win the Game of School.)  Let's don't accept the lie of death, destruction and hopelessness. This 'cast is here to encourage faith, to find the right answer, to obtain total well-being for all children.

Mother's Milk is best. But what if... that is not an option?

Lactation specialists are required to tell mothers that making formula is not safe. WHAT? So commerical formula is safe??!?! Have you read the ingredients? Would you serve your child corn syrup? As have their diet? I hope not.

Christina Nichols was a guest to share with us her experiences and how she found a great formula from the Weston Price Foundation.

We aired this originally back in 2022 when we had a baby formula crisis. Hmm. We are getting wiser to crises now, aren't we?

Are you finding eggs in the store? Do not worry. Even though the egg shortage was again in the news last week, that is more about milking. I understand from a very quick news headline that Phyllis Fong was fired at the USDA about a month ago. She was the source of the hype about bird flu and the killing of so many chickens and cattle. Since then, we have had Robert F. Kennedy Jr talk publicly about how letting avian flu just go thru the chickens so that we have resistant chickens. And any way, if one test came out positive, somehow that mean the whole big bird house had to die, cruelly. Anyway, we know how reliable the PCR tests are. Well, we should be past all of that now. I saw chickees at Tractor Supply. It should be just a few weeks and we should have eggs. Maybe a few months until they are plentiful and cheap. Already, however, the price is down.

All of this is prevention of learning disabilities.
