Key Quotes:

"90% of them don't want to be there, and they don't know how to leave."

"Jesus would be there, right? He would be taking off his shoes and sitting down, and relaxing. He'd be the first one there loving these people."

"I sometimes forget the environment that we're in. They are not much different from me. They are college-educated. They are smart. They're moms."

The Reality Check:

These aren't the broken stereotypes you see in movies. Many are college-educated mothers working to pay rent, trapped in a cycle where the busiest nights are the last week of the month because rent is due.

From the touring the world to the Grand Ole Opry to the darkest corners of the New Age, her story is one of abuse, brokenness, oppression—and the shocking, beautiful power of Jesus to deliver and heal.

In this episode of Kingdom of Facts, Kevin, Buckley, and Claire get real about:

* Her childhood abuse in rural Ireland and the lies it planted

* How witchcraft, crystals, and psychedelics became chains instead of healing

* The night demons held her throat—and the deliverance that set her free

* Why deliverance isn’t just for “third world countries” but desperately needed here

* The messy, miraculous process of healing in Jesus

👉 This isn’t a polished Christian fairy tale. It’s raw, unfiltered, and straight-up miraculous. If you’ve ever wondered whether evil is real—or if Jesus really sets captives free—this episode will shake you.🎯 5 Key Moments

* The Opry vs. the Oppression

Claire shares about the surreal experience of playing the Grand Ole Opry, but beneath the lights and applause, she was battling laryngitis, emptiness, and spiritual darkness. Fame on the outside, despair on the inside.

* Childhood Trauma & Satan’s Entrance

Claire recounts her childhood sexual abuse in rural Ireland, how it silenced her voice, and how she now sees that as the moment the enemy gained a foothold in her life.

* The Shaman & Spiritual Marriage

In Nashville, during the pandemic, Claire was manipulated into a spiritual marriage with a self-proclaimed shaman—complete with black magic, hypnosis, drugging, and demonic ceremonies.

* The Deliverance Session

After years of attacks—including waking up with a hand around her throat—Claire finally experiences deliverance through prayer. It wasn’t quick or clean—it was a long, messy night—but God freed her from deep oppression.

* The Five-Year-Old Girl

The very next day, Claire was approached by a five-year-old struggling with nightmares of evil spirits—the same age she was when her own trauma began. It was God’s way of showing her healing, restoration, and purpose.

Show Notes

Most Christians are stuck. They love Jesus, they worship, pray, and repent—but something still feels off. The fear returns, the shame lingers, the cycles repeat. What if the missing piece isn't more Bible study or worship services? What if it's something the Western church has been too scared to talk about?

In this fascinating episode of The Kingdom Effect podcast, hosts Kevin Beasley and Glenn "Buckshot" Buckley sit down with Jared Gregory, author of the brand-new book Deliverance Demystified, for a conversation that will challenge everything you thought you knew about spiritual freedom.

🔥 The Breakthrough Moment:

"We had men calling our addiction center saying, 'I don't need help with addiction anymore—I need deliverance.' As staff, we didn't know what to do with that. We either needed to figure out deliverance or stop taking men in."

This conversation isn't just theory—it's the real-world account of how one rehab center discovered the missing piece that traditional discipleship was leaving behind.

📚 Resources Mentioned:

* Book: Deliverance Demystified by Jared Gregory (Available on Amazon in Kindle and physical format)

* Assessment: Spiritual inventory available at thedefiningplace.com

* Ministry: The Defining Place - offering prayer sessions and deliverance training

Ready for Freedom?

This isn't about dramatic manifestations or Hollywood exorcisms. It's about removing everything that's slowing you down from following Jesus—fear, shame, lies, wounds, and yes, even demonic influence.

Next Steps:

* Get the book: Deliverance Demystified on Amazon

* Take the spiritual inventory at thedefiningplace.com

* Consider scheduling a prayer session (it's not scary, it's liberating)

⚡ EPISODE SUMMARY

THE HARD TRUTH: This ain't your typical "just say no" conversation. Three men dive deep into the devastating pipeline from pornography to human trafficking, sharing raw insights from the frontlines of Internet Crimes Against Children investigations and ministry rescue work.

GUEST: Judd Granzow - Former pro athlete (LA Dodgers draft pick, UT football championship '98), founder of P3 Ministry, current pastor at Highland Park Church

WHY THIS MATTERS NOW: 115 million people visit porn sites DAILY. 83% of viewing happens on smartphones we hand to our kids. The progression is predictable and devastating.

🎯 PORN PREVENTION ACTION STEPS

For Parents

* Have uncomfortable conversations because you love them

* Install blocks AND educate why

* Create shame-free zones for confession

* Model healthy masculinity and relationship with God

* Address the heart, not just the behavior

For Men Struggling

* Acknowledge you can't do this alone

* Find older, godly men to mentor you

* Root your identity in Christ, not your struggles

* "30 days clean and everything becomes clearer"

* Reach out - even strangers will honor your vulnerability

For Communities

* Start talking about it - make uncomfortable conversations comfortable

* Support organizations fighting trafficking

* Attack both supply (production) AND demand (consumers)

* Create men's groups focused on real accountability

🔥 VIRAL MOMENTS & KEY TAKEAWAYS

"The Progression Pipeline"

* "No one starts saying, 'I want a career and to be arrested for child porn.' This is where it takes you."

* Pornography has the same neurological effects as cocaine

* Every view lays another "railroad track into a dark forest"

* Veterans returning from overseas with new addictions

* You can predict someone's addiction timeline by their browser history

The Father Crisis

* "Where was the Christian man when my dad was 40 to grab him and say, 'You're shipwrecking your life'?"

* Most men are lonely with no real friendships

* The questions haunting every man: "Am I good enough? What's my purpose?"

* Pornography steals your ability to be the best husband and father

The Culture Shock

* "Shame and guilt have left the room," - describing an entire generation

* High school gyms erupting when porn site theme songs play

* 8-year-olds sending explicit images (learned behavior - where did they learn it?)

* The #1 day for porn consumption? Sunday

The Trafficking Connection

* "You want to stop sex trafficking? Stop pornography."

* Amateur porn (largely unregulated) now dominates over professional

* "Modeling opportunities" that become trafficking recruitment

* Strip clubs as marketing tools for real money-makers

* If there's no consumer demand, there's no trafficking supply

💔 THE PERSONAL COST

Glenn "Buckshot" Buckley's Story

* 13 years in Internet Crimes Against Children

* Could predict addiction progression by hard drive contents

* Identity became "the child porn guy"

* Tattoos as a cry for people to see him as more than his job

* Had to quit his career to save his relationships

Judd Granzow's Mission

* "I'm great at barbecues - mention Jesus OR porn and people get uncomfortable"

* Created safe spaces for men to share what they've "never told anyone"

* P3 Ministry: Peace, Power, Purpose

🗣️ QUOTES THAT HIT DIFFERENT

"Pornography is heroin through the eyes, abortion of the soul." - Judd Granzow

"Flesh can't beat flesh. It's through the Spirit." - Judd Granzow

"Every time you watch it, you're not being the best husband, the best father. You're stealing the best you can be." - Judd Granzow

"Education equals prevention." - Glenn Buckley

"Usually by the time you realize you should take a break, you should have realized it a year ago." - Glenn Buckley

🛡️ THE FATHER'S PLAYBOOK

Having "The Talk" 2.0

* Start with WHY behind the rules, not just the rules

* "I'm putting blocks on your phone because I love you, not because I don't trust you"

* Create safe spaces: "You're not in trouble - let's just talk"

* Share your own struggles authentically

* "I was 17 once too. I still struggle every day by the grace of God."

The Seatbelt Analogy

* You teach them to wear seatbelts and trust they'll do it when you're not watching

* Same with digital protection - educate, don't just restrict

* "When you're at a friend's house and they pull out porn, leave the room and call me"

🧠 THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE ADDICTION

Brain Chemistry Reality

* Same dopamine pathways as hard drugs

* Male brains develop until age 25

* A decade of exposure during crucial development = humans become objects

* The Corvette analogy: What thrilled you at first eventually bores you

The Inevitable Escalation

* Soft core → Hard core → Fetishes → Violence → Acting out

* "When you get to that line, the dopamine rush isn't happening anymore"

⛪ THE SPIRITUAL WARFARE ANGLE

Why Sunday?

* Highest porn consumption day of the week

* Porn companies deliberately use biblical names

* "This is demonic... anything not of Christ is demonic, but this is very dark"

The Image of God Under Attack

* "This is a direct assault on God's creation. Life is sacred."

* Sex in covenant marriage creates eternal souls

* Modern culture celebrates what should be protected

🚨 WARNING SIGNS & HOPE

The Progression Red Flags

* Increasing secrecy around devices

* Escalating content searches

* Loss of empathy/seeing people as objects

* Relationship struggles

The Freedom Stories

* 23-year-old calling to thank Judd: "I'm free right now"

* Men discovering their identity in Christ, not their addiction

* "Every day you're not watching is a victory"

* Marriages saved, abuse stopped, lives redirected

Episode Summary

Hosts Kevin Beasley and “Buckshot” Buckley sit down with Thomas Hunter Mitchell, Director of CAC Hope House, to explore the devastating reality of childhood trauma and the innovative therapies helping kids reclaim their lives. What starts as a conversation about a unique case involving a therapy dog named Pacey becomes a raw examination of how trauma affects everyone involved—including the helpers.

Key Guest

Thomas Hunter Mitchell - Director of CAC Hope House (North Shore, New Orleans)

* Former trauma therapist at Carl Perkins Center

* Serves 350+ child abuse victims annually (ages 2-17)

* Expert in pediatric PTSD and evidence-based trauma treatments

The Pacey Story: When Masks Became Nightmares

The episode's centerpiece is the remarkable case of "Ashley," a 6-year-old sexual assault victim who developed a severe phobia of masks after her perpetrator wore one during the abuse. Her symptoms were devastating:

* Panic attacks at school and stores during Halloween

* Incontinence and inability to accept physical affection

* Nightmares and fear of everyday situations

* Even associated April Fool's Day with masks

The breakthrough: Using Pacey, a gentle golden lab therapy dog, Thomas helped Ashley create new, positive associations with masks. By putting colorful paper plate masks on the dog during therapy sessions, they gradually retrained her brain to associate masks with safety rather than danger.

The result: Ashley is now thriving, demonstrating the power of innovative, individualized trauma therapy.

Trauma by the Numbers

* 350 children served annually at Hope House alone

* 45 child trafficking victims in 2024 (3x increase from 2020)

* 160,000 US children lost parents to COVID-19

* 750+ Child Advocacy Centers operate nationwide

What is Trauma?

Thomas defines trauma simply: "Any experience that can result in emotional, physical, or life-threatening injury." It's not just major events—most humans over age 7-8 have experienced some form of trauma.

The Hidden Cost: Vicarious Trauma

Perhaps the episode's most sobering revelation is how helping trauma victims traumatizes the helpers. Thomas and Buckley share raw stories of:

* Middle-of-the-night phone calls between colleagues

* Physical stress responses (white knuckles while driving)

* Relationship damage and isolation

* Substance abuse as coping mechanisms

Warning signs include:

* Hypervigilance and sleeplessness

* Becoming reclusive at home

* Physical tension and stress responses

* Difficulty "turning off" after work

Protecting the Protectors

Hope House has implemented innovative support systems:

* Free therapy for all staff (fully reimbursed)

* Monthly vicarious trauma yoga sessions

* Flexible scheduling to prevent burnout

* Transition rituals (like physically brushing feet on doormat before leaving work)

* 30-minute decompression rule before engaging with family

The COVID Factor

The pandemic has created additional trauma for children through:

* Loss of routine and predictability

* Masked interactions reducing emotional connection

* Secondary trauma from stressed parents

* Isolation and uncertainty

Signs of Childhood Trauma

For parents, teachers, and caregivers to watch for:

* Heightened anxiety and hypervigilance

* Sleep disturbances and nightmares

* Regression in behaviors

* Difficulty with physical affection

* Fear responses to specific triggers

* Academic or social difficulties

The Cliff Analogy

Thomas uses a powerful metaphor: imagine trauma like a cliff overlooking the Grand Canyon. Some people start life far from the edge—it takes multiple traumas to push them toward PTSD. Others, due to genetics, environment, or early experiences, start right at the cliff's edge where just one trauma can send them falling.

This explains why trauma affects people so differently—it's not about weakness, but about where someone starts their journey.

Hope and Healing

The episode ends on a note of hope with Thomas describing the "graduation wall" at Hope House, where children place their handprints after completing therapy and overcoming their trauma diagnosis.

The goal: Moving kids from worrying about life-or-death situations to age-appropriate concerns like school dances and friendships.

Takeaways for Everyone

* Trauma is universal - most people have experienced it in some form

* Helpers need help too - vicarious trauma is real and requires attention

* Innovation saves lives - sometimes a therapy dog in a paper mask is exactly what's needed

* Community support matters - CACs rely on donations and volunteers

* Recovery is possible - with proper support, children can heal and thrive

This episode serves as both an education in childhood trauma and a call to action for communities to support the organizations and individuals working to heal our most vulnerable citizens.

✅ Saying yes… to starting a ministry with nothing but faith and a cereal bar

You’ll laugh, cry, and walk away with renewed hope that God really does use the unqualified, the grieving, the ordinary — to do the impossible.

After a two-year pause, Kevin Beasley and Glen “Buckshot” Buckley are back in the saddle—older, hopefully wiser, and still wildly passionate about faith-based non-profits, disciple-making, and inconvenient obedience.

This ain’t a shiny, polished “Christian influencer” episode. This is raw kingdom fire.

🎯 Big Themes:

* 💸 Following Jesus will cost you. Time, money, comfort, even reputation. But it’s the only road paved with eternal reward.

* 🧠 Most Christians believe in Jesus intellectually but live like practical atheists. Ouch. But true.

* 🏠 The Church is flipping inside out. House churches, disciple-making communities, and underground networks are quietly exploding across America.

* 🔥 Jesus didn’t build comfy rows. He built radical relationships. More time with fewer people > more people with less Jesus.

Thanks for reading Missional Disciple-Making Collective! This post is public so feel free to share it

✝️ Highlights:

* “Say Yes Anyway” – Kevin shares the raw story of how a late-night McDonald’s run turned into a two-hour gospel road trip, a river baptism, and a one-way ticket to Teen Challenge. Following Jesus is inconvenient. And it’s so worth it.

* “Pisteuo Faith” – Not just believing in Jesus, but believing Him enough to die for it. (And live every day like you actually believe.)

* “Jesus Preached 8 Sermons in 3 Years” – But He asked 340 questions. Disciple-making isn’t just teaching. It’s imitating, sending, obeying, and multiplying.

* “The Walmart Church Effect” – We’ve traded Kingdom intensity for cultural convenience. But the underground Church? It’s alive, it’s multiplying, and it’s coming for the West.

🔁 Raw Quotes You’ll Feel in Your Bones:

* “If you really follow Jesus, it will probably ruin your life. Comfort? Gone. Spare time? Spent. But eternity? Rewarded.”

* “Jesus said, ‘Follow me.’ Not, ‘Come hear me speak on Sundays.’”

* “Multiplication is happening. Quietly. Organically. Right under our noses.”

* “We don’t need more church services. We need more obedience.”

🧭 For Aspiring Disciple-Makers:

* Don’t wait to get permission. If Jesus is tapping you on the shoulder, say yes.

* Use what you have. Where you are. Among who you already know.

* Small is strong. Obedient is better than impressive.

* If you’re burned out on church-as-performance… good. You’re ready.

⚡ Closing Charge:

You might not get rich. You might lose sleep. But when Jesus calls, say yes.

The Kingdom’s coming. And He’s looking for the ones who will follow—even when it doesn’t make sense.

She had the appointment. The decision felt final.No one would’ve blamed her.But then, in the middle of the confusion, fear, and silence, there was an INTERRUPTION!

She was YOUNG. SCARED. ALONE.

The pregnancy test wasn’t supposed to be positive. The timing wasn’t right. The relationship was complicated. And everyone around her said,

“You don’t have to go through with this pregnancy.”

She believed them. At least, she tried to.She scheduled the appointment. Told no one. Even rehearsed what she’d say to the nurse. But deep in her chest… was a small, stubborn ache. A whisper that wouldn’t leave. A question she hadn’t answered:

“What if this child were sent to save you?”

In this episode, we walk into the real-life story of a woman who stood at the edge of abortion… and heard God speak.

Not a thunderous voice. Not a sermon. Just a gentle invitation: “There’s another way.”

What follows is a journey through shame, surrender, and surprising joy — the kind of story that doesn’t just argue for life but reveals its beauty in the most unexpected way.

If you’ve ever:

* wrestled with the weight of a hidden decision,

* wondered if your story was too messy for redemption,

* felt the cultural pressure to do what’s easiest instead of what’s right…

This episode is for you.

It’s not political. It’s personal. It’s sacred ground.You’ll hear the heartbeat of a young woman trying to find her way… and the God who gently leads her through the dark.

Thanks for reading Missional Disciple-Making Collective! This post is public so feel free to share it.

👂 Why you need to listen:

Because abortion isn’t just a headline.

It’s a battleground for identity, fear, legacy, and grace.And this story reminds us that life wins.Not just the baby’s life.

Her life.Your life.All of it. Redeemed.

🎧 Hit play.

What would make a successful pastor leave it all behind… to stand outside Planned Parenthood five days a week?

In this RAW and EMOTIONAL episode, we sit down with Scott Hord, a modern-day missionary on the frontlines of abortion rescue.

His story includes 352 confirmed saves, intense spiritual warfare, divine encounters, and the unforgettable moment when a woman said, “Thank you for talking me out of going in.”

What happens when following Jesus means kicking down hotel doors at 2 AM to rescue women from sex trafficking — and maybe facing down a gun? In this raw, no-holds-barred conversation, Glenn “Buckshot” Buckley shares the unbearable weight of rescuing survivors, the spiritual cost of confronting evil, and the tension of carrying both compassion and courage.

From law enforcement interrogations to undercover stings — and even walking away from his own daughter’s birthday party to save someone else’s child — this is a story about reckless obedience, righteous sacrifice, and the kind of faith that bleeds.

🔗 Why do bad things happen to good people?

🧠 Can we love abusers without excusing their actions?

🔥 And what if real Christianity isn’t safe at all?

This episode will shake you. Stir you. And maybe even call you!
