Somebody’s lying, and a whole community is paying for it. We turn the floor over to our guest, David Solomon, who comes to Voices for Voices with a direct challenge to Lore Haven Episode 365 and a plea for what he says has been missing from the public conversation: receipts, context, and a fair hearing without threats.

We walk through David’s timeline and the claims he says are being repeated about him, including a disputed origin story from 2015, references to email exchanges, and what he describes as years of reputational damage inside the Christian writing community and Realm Makers circles. He also speaks about the personal cost at home, including the impact on his wife and child, allegations of blacklisting, and fears of escalation when harassment moves from comments to real-world intimidation like doxxing and swatting.

A major theme is digital harm and misinformation: what happens when private people become targets, when an AI image can be treated as “proof,” and when a community decides someone is guilty before any real process plays out. David ends by praying for endurance, protection, and healing, even for people he says have hurt him, while we close with a clear public safety stance: no threats, no violence, no harm.

If you believe truth matters more than clicks, listen, share this with someone who needs the full context, and subscribe so you don’t miss what comes next. After you listen, what questions would you ask if you were moderating the conversation?

Nearly one billion dollars in penalties. Court ordered teen protections. And one blunt question that every parent, coach, and guardian has to face: why are social platforms still making it so easy for adults to reach children directly? We dig into reporting on a New Mexico court ruling targeting Meta, the company behind Facebook and Instagram, and we treat it like what it is to us: a public safety announcement about online child safety and youth mental health.

We walk through the key claims and the specific changes described, including deleting unverified under 13 accounts, blocking overnight and school day notifications, automatically blurring nude images, limiting unknown adults from messaging minors, adding safeguards around AI chatbots, and even capping use at 90 hours per month. We also talk about why these guardrails should not require a lawsuit to exist, and how “just put the phone down” is not a real solution when apps are designed to hook attention.

Then we get personal and direct about boundaries: adults should never privately message minors without a parent or guardian involved. If a child reaches out, the right move is to bring in the caregiver, the school, or a trained professional not to step into a role you are not qualified for. We connect these choices to real world risks like grooming, sextortion, trafficking, and the heartbreaking outcomes families have already lived through.

If you care about social media safety for kids, parental controls, screen time limits, and holding platforms accountable, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share this with one parent in your life, and leave a review that helps more families find Voices for Voices.

Your clothes don’t just reflect your body. They can shape your mood, your confidence, and the story you tell yourself when you look in the mirror. We get real about what happens when you return to the gym after years of being inactive and, only a few weeks in, shorts and shirts suddenly stop fitting. Is it muscle gain, leftover weight, or a mix of both? We walk through the uncertainty, the frustration, and the surprisingly heavy mental health impact of standing in front of a closet that no longer matches your life.

We also dig into the drivers behind major weight fluctuation: long days sitting, inconsistent workouts, and a stressful work pace that leads to skipping meals, pushing through lunch, and living on whatever is fast. We talk about anxiety, screen time, and the way pressure can spike stress hormones like cortisol and throw off your appetite and energy. Along the way, we share practical ways to think about a sustainable gym routine, including why training legs matters, why progress can be uneven, and why patience beats crash changes every time.

Then the conversation widens to body image, bullying, and the scars that can stick from school into adulthood. We reflect on acne, puberty, braces, feeling excluded, and how shame about appearance can push people into isolation and painful questions about identity and purpose. If you’ve ever felt judged for being “too big” or “too skinny,” you’ll hear why you’re not alone, and why kindness and consistency matter more than any clothing tag.

Your plans are set, your mind is ready, and then you get the message: canceled. Power outage. No appointment today. We start from that exact frustration and talk honestly about the mental whiplash that comes with last-minute changes, especially when you were counting on that meeting to help you move forward.

We walk through what “adaptability” really looks like when it’s not optional: separating what you can control from what you can’t, catching the self-blame loop, and using simple coping skills to get grounded again. That includes the real emotional toll of having to reschedule for a date that’s further out than you want, and how to stop letting disappointment turn into a story about you “failing.” Along the way, we touch on stress, anxiety, and cortisol, plus a funny social media claim we had to try: sticking your tongue out for 40 seconds as a way to calm the body. Scientific or not, it opens a bigger point about laughter, being less rigid, and giving ourselves permission to be human.

We also talk about boundaries, not taking work home, and why authenticity matters more than looking perfect. Then we zoom out to time, aging, and the push to do the thing you keep delaying because time doesn’t stand still. If you want a grounded, encouraging listen about mental health, resilience, and staying true to yourself, press play and come hang with us.

Consistency doesn’t start with a huge burst of motivation. It starts with a simple promise to yourself: get there, then do something. We share what it looks like to rebuild a gym routine after time off, why exercise can be “some of the best medicine,” and how staying in motion supports your health, mindset, and the people who count on you. If you’ve ever worried you’ll “fall off the horse” once the newness fades, you’ll relate to this one.

Then the conversation turns to choices, especially the kind kids and teens face as school activities get more competitive. We talk about trying things because you want to, not because a friend is doing it, not because a parent or coach is pushing it. Justin even names it “frienditis,” that pull to follow the crowd, and explains why learning what you actually enjoy is part of building character. We also get honest about the time and money families spend on activities and why it’s important for kids to speak up when they are not having fun.

The most personal moment comes from a story about a childhood friendship that drifted after tryouts, teams, and growing up changed the dynamic. We sit with regret, redemption, and the hope of making an apology even years later, because being human means we don’t always get it right the first time.

The camera makes it look simple, but the real work happens before the record button. I’m talking about the unglamorous, human side of podcasting and filming: picking a topic that matters, writing down ideas before they disappear, and finding the energy to execute when stress and anxiety are loud. If you’ve ever assumed creators “just talk,” this is a transparent look at everything you don’t see.

I also share how my background teaching at a university and speaking to groups helped me get more comfortable on camera, while still not “mastering” anxiety. Practice helps, therapy and coping tools help, and sometimes medication helps, but none of it erases the pressure completely. I talk openly about stumbles, filler words, and the reality that being yourself is easy to say and harder to live when you’re trying to serve a mission and show up consistently.

Then we get practical: branded shirts and hats, finding what’s clean, charging the camera, lights, and microphone, and choosing a filming location where the lighting doesn’t make the video look like nighttime. Add guest schedules and limited time windows, and suddenly a “simple” recording becomes a stack of small tasks that can drain your battery before you even start.

“Come as you are” is more than a lyric. It’s a blueprint for building a life and a community that doesn’t require you to clean yourself up before you’re allowed to belong. I’m Justin Alan Hayes, and I use this solo conversation to lay out what Voices for Voices stands for: real people, real struggles, and a place where you can show up in whatever season you’re in, including the messy one.

We talk about why we keep judgment low and humanity high, from the way people look at the gym to the way we treat each other when we disagree. I also draw a bright line that matters: you will not hear us pushing harm toward anyone, physically or mentally. You might not love every topic, and that’s fine, but the core stays the same: respect, restraint, and a commitment to not turning pain into violence.

From there, I get personal about seasonal affective disorder and living with major depression, including how hard the basics can feel on the worst mornings. We connect that reality to practical routines like getting back to the gym, working around plateaus, listening to your body, and remembering that rest is part of progress, not a detour. I also share why this show acts like journaling for me, a way to get thoughts out of my head and into the open so I can keep moving.

Parenthood doesn’t politely fit into your old life. It takes over your calendar, rewrites your priorities, and asks you to become more patient than you thought possible. We share a real, close-to-home reflection on fatherhood, what it means to watch your child find joy, and why being present is often the most powerful kind of support, even when you are tired, imperfect, and still learning.

We also get practical about the day-to-day: kids’ activities, shifting schedules, and the constant decisions around what to try next. From sports to ballet to gymnastics and camps, we talk about choosing exploration over pressure and asking the simple question that keeps trust intact: do you actually like what you’re doing? Along the way, we connect family life to mental health, trauma recovery, and the kind of purpose that can emerge after hard seasons.

The conversation turns serious where it needs to: child safety. Our stance is clear and non-negotiable, no human is for sale, especially no children. We talk about patience in a world built for instant gratification and why progress sometimes takes longer than we want, even when the work matters. We also share how you can support Voices for Voices, a 501c3 nonprofit, through sharing, merch, and donations at lovevoices.org.

The easiest way to cut through a loud rumor is to look at the record that doesn’t care who’s trending. We talk about the lawsuit tied to Voices for Voices and why a public court docket matters when people claim “we’re the ones being sued” or try to flip the roles. If you’ve ever watched an online controversy turn into certainty without proof, you’ll recognize the pattern we’re pushing back on here: repetition becomes “fact,” and reputations take the hit.

From there, we get specific about what we say is being misrepresented inside the Christian writing community and around Realm Makers. We address a serious allegation involving child marriage and why we believe the public conversation keeps attaching the wrong name to it. We also unpack claims about platform leadership, moderation, and why David says he was removed from Realm Sphere, including how private messaging, networking, and analytics can be framed as misconduct when trust collapses.

The conversation turns to allegations of coercion and intimidation, including claims of threats involving CPS, police visits, and swatting, plus pressure to take down content or give up a successful media platform. David shares his perspective on what these fights cost emotionally, especially when attacks spill onto spouses and kids. Whether you’re here for the legal clarity, the online harassment dynamics, or the broader lesson about evidence and accountability, you’ll leave with a sharper filter for separating verifiable facts from internet noise.

If this hit a nerve, subscribe, share the episode with someone who values facts, and leave a review so more listeners can find Voices for Voices when misinformation is loudest.

A single comment can travel the world in seconds, and when that comment hints at swatting or bodily harm, it stops being “internet drama” and becomes a public safety problem. We talk candidly about the line between free speech and threats, why we refuse to normalize violent talk, and what it means to act in good faith when people’s lives are being discussed like targets.

We also dig into the difference between being a bystander and being an upstander. For us, “if you see something, say something” isn’t a slogan, it’s a practical response to digital harassment and intimidation. We walk through why reporting matters, how emotional distress compounds when threats stay public, and why leaders should shut down violent rhetoric instead of letting it spread in comment sections where anyone can read it and run with it.

Finally, we address the confusion that can swirl around legal conflict online, including misleading narratives about who filed first and what court paperwork actually shows. When public claims don’t match the record, it fuels anger, misinformation, and risk and that’s exactly the environment where threats grow. If you care about online safety, the First Amendment, swatting, and protecting your community, this conversation is for you.
