The veil between trusted mentorship and predatory manipulation is thinner than most parents realize. In this powerful and emotionally raw conversation, returning guest David Solomon shares his deeply personal journey from being an 11-year-old fan of Christian fantasy author Bryan Allen Davis to becoming a victim of human trafficking allegedly orchestrated by the very man whose books once brought him closer to God.

David's testimony strikes a devastating contrast—how Davis's "Dragons in Our Midst" series initially saved him from suicidal thoughts and strengthened his faith, only for the author to allegedly exploit that trust through private messages introducing sexual topics to the young boy. The turning point came during David's most vulnerable moment, when his mother received a terminal cancer diagnosis and Davis allegedly arranged for David's trafficking, leading to 12 years of trauma.

The urgency of this conversation centers on Davis's upcoming book "Sacred Scales," targeting 8-9 year old readers. David's voice breaks as he connects this marketing strategy to attempted contact with his own young son, revealing how predators maintain access to potential victims through their creative work. More disturbing still is how Davis allegedly continues to harass survivors after they escape, contacting their doctors, banks, attorneys and family members to disrupt their attempts at rebuilding their lives.

This episode serves as both testimony and warning. It illuminates how predators can weaponize spiritual authority, teaching children to distrust parents and positioning themselves as morally superior. For parents, conference organizers, churches, and homeschool groups, the message is clear: vigilance is essential when someone seeks private communication with your children, regardless of their reputation or the apparent value of their creative work. The devastation in David's voice when he asks, "How can someone who loves God so much hurt God's children so much?" echoes long after the episode ends.

The Uncovering: Human Trafficking and Government Cover-Ups | Episode 234

https://www.voicesforvoices.org/shop/p/supporter

The dark web of human trafficking reaches deeper into our society than most dare to acknowledge. When survivor David Solomon attempted to share his harrowing experience of being trafficked in 2012, he encountered not justice, but a coordinated effort to silence him at every turn. Missing police reports, buried medical evidence, and threats from his captor Bryan Davis have created a wall of suppression that has stood for thirteen years.

This episode tackles the disturbing connection between David's case and the disappearance of Sebastian Rogers, an autistic child who went missing near where Davis resides in Tennessee. A pattern emerges showing how traffickers target vulnerable individuals with disabilities, exploiting their reduced capacity to call for help. Rather than investigating these connections, authorities have allowed harassment campaigns against survivors who speak out, including cyberstalking, doxxing, and threats.

We explore the systemic cancellation of David's professional opportunities—several book contracts and movie deals mysteriously dissolved whenever he attempted to tell his story. This level of interference suggests powerful connections working against survivors. The recent small victory of David finally receiving writing credit for his work on Smallville after more than a decade offers a glimmer of hope that the wall of silence may be beginning to crack.

As advocates for trafficking survivors, we stand firm on the truth that "nothing is hidden that won't be exposed." We call upon authorities to resurrect the buried evidence, investigate these serious allegations, and prioritize the safety of survivors rather than the comfort of perpetrators. Join our mission to ensure that no voice remains silenced and no survivor must face the battle for justice alone.

Justin Alan Hayes exposes the troubling cover-up surrounding David Solomon, a human trafficking survivor whose reports have been systematically buried for 13 years. Through detailed examination, the podcast reveals the connections between government agencies, traffickers, and the disturbing pattern of silencing survivors who attempt to share their stories.

We plead with the current administration to investigate these cases, resurrect the buried reports, and bring justice to all human trafficking survivors who have been silenced.

From the first spark of inspiration to the final draft, the creative journey demands both passion and persistence. Eve Bloor, sister of previous guest Gabriel Bloor, joins us to share her remarkable 12-year odyssey writing her first sci-fi novel while developing her skills as a self-taught illustrator.

"Don't worry about the process," Eve advises aspiring creators struggling with perfectionism. She candidly reveals how her own perfectionist tendencies nearly prevented her from completing her work, leading to an astonishing 27 drafts before completion. Her story resonates with anyone who has ever felt their creative efforts weren't "good enough." The breakthrough came when she learned to focus on story flow rather than technical flawlessness—a lesson that transformed her approach to both writing and illustration.

Eve's unique perspective bridges multiple worlds: her counseling education informs her character development, while her faith grounds her creative choices. She describes herself as "cruel to my characters," explaining that meaningful growth requires significant challenges—both in fiction and real life. This philosophy extends to her illustration work, where she applies principles of geometry and anatomy to create authentic representations that honor what she sees as divinely created beauty.

What sets Eve apart is her commitment to authentic expression. Whether discussing her preference for traditional art materials (feeling the texture of the paper matters!) or her insistence on incorporating genuine human emotions like grief into her stories, she demonstrates how creative work becomes powerful when it reflects genuine conviction. As she puts it, "Real beauty is soul deep."

Reach out to Eve at [email protected] or find her on Discord as Evelyn Inkwell to join her writing group or commission her artwork. Her journey reminds us that the most meaningful creative expressions often come through perseverance and staying true to your unique vision.

Have you ever felt your impact was greater than what the numbers showed? We've made a surprising discovery at Voices for Voices® that completely transformed our understanding of audience reach and impact measurement.

As we built this organization from humble beginnings – literally starting in a living room like so many ventures do – we meticulously tracked our analytics across platforms. The numbers told us one story, sometimes encouraging, sometimes disheartening. But recently, we uncovered something remarkable: a substantial portion of our audience exists completely outside traditional tracking methods.

These viewers and listeners engage deeply with our material but leave no digital footprint in our analytics. This revelation has been both humbling and profoundly encouraging as we pursue our mission of helping 3 billion people across the globe.

This discovery parallels an important life lesson: visible metrics never tell the complete story of our impact.

https://www.voicesforvoices.org/shop/p/supporter

A staggering revelation has emerged from RFK Jr., newly appointed Secretary of Health and Human Services: "HHS became a collaborator in child trafficking and sex slavery" during the Biden administration. With approximately 300,000 migrant children unaccounted for, this crisis demands urgent attention from every level of our society.

Against this backdrop of systemic failure, we spotlight David Solomon, a human trafficking survivor whose nightmare didn't end with escape. Thirteen years after being chloroformed in front of his mother and held captive for weeks, David and his pregnant wife face relentless harassment. Their movements are tracked through apps and location services, leading to disturbing incidents like the sudden cancellation of midwifery services for their unborn child's delivery. Despite filing numerous police reports and seeking help from multiple jurisdictions, David's case has been systematically suppressed, allegedly due to his captors' connections within government, military, and law enforcement.

The heart of this episode lies in its direct appeal to President Trump and his administration. We acknowledge that those in power are listening—including cabinet members like FBI Director Kash Patel, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and others—and we call upon them to intervene on behalf of trafficking survivors like David. Beyond partisan politics, this is about basic human dignity: ensuring a pregnant woman can safely deliver her child without fear, and holding accountable those who have exploited vulnerable individuals. When powerful predators operate with impunity for over a decade, the system has fundamentally failed. Will you join us in demanding justice for these survivors? Your voice matters in this crucial fight.

Voices for Voices® founder Justin Alan Hayes reveals disturbing information about child trafficking in America and advocates for a specific trafficking survivor whose family continues to face harassment and danger.

• RFK Jr stated that HHS became "a collaborator in child trafficking and sex slavery" during the Biden administration
• Approximately 300,000 migrant children have gone missing during the previous administration
• Human trafficking survivor David Solomon has been fighting for justice for 13 years
• David's captors allegedly chloroformed him in 2012, keeping him captive for 2.5 weeks
• David's captors reportedly include powerful individuals with connections in government and military
• David's pregnant wife is facing harassment, including tracking of her movements and cancellation of midwifery services
• The Voices for Voices® podcast directly appeals to President Trump's administration to investigate and help protect trafficking survivors
• Multiple police reports and attempts to get help have been systematically covered up according to the podcast

Co-authoring and Cultural Awareness: A Conversation with Leanna Shields and David Solomon | Episode 230

What happens when authors choose to tackle difficult social issues through fiction? Two talented writers reveal their philosophy on storytelling with purpose in this thought-provoking conversation.

Authors Leanna Shields and David Solomon return for the second part of their discussion, diving deeper into their writing processes and the social responsibility they feel as storytellers. The conversation begins with both authors sharing their extensive bibliographies – Leanna discussing her Mystic Ranch mystery series, steampunk novels, and other works available on Amazon, while David mentions his impressive output of 40 published books under his name and approximately 400 ghost-written titles.

The dialogue takes a nostalgic turn as both writers reveal how the Young Jedi Knights series from the Star Wars expanded universe profoundly influenced their writing styles. They share a preference for crafting accessible novels of moderate length (150-200 pages) rather than overwhelming readers with excessively long works. This discussion evolves into a candid critique of publishing trends, including books featuring extremely brief chapters and the controversial use of second-person perspective.

The most powerful segment emerges when Shields reveals how her publisher rejected content addressing missing and murdered Indigenous women from her cozy mystery series. This prompts Solomon, who has personal connections to Indigenous communities, to emphasize the life-saving potential of stories that raise awareness about marginalized groups. Both authors passionately discuss how fiction writers wield tremendous cultural influence, comparable to film and television, with the ability to shape public perception and potentially drive social change.

Throughout their conversation, these thoughtful writers demonstrate how contemporary storytellers can balance entertainment value with social commentary, addressing issues from human trafficking to mental health awareness. Their insights will resonate with writers, readers, and anyone who believes in the transformative power of stories.

https://www.voicesforvoices.org/shop/p/supporter

Two talented authors reveal the surprising chemistry that sparked when they discovered they were both mythology buffs creating urban Christian fantasy—a refreshing departure from the typical Narnia-like settings of religious fiction. Their creative partnership began with a chance Amazon encounter that revealed their shared vision: bringing mythical creatures into contemporary settings while maintaining strong faith themes.

The conversation explores the fascinating question many readers ask: how can fantasy with magical elements be reconciled with Christian belief? Leanna's thoughtful approach frames magic as a divine gift, where her character can literally hear "nature's song of glory to God" referenced in Psalms—a creative interpretation that allows magical elements to enhance rather than contradict faith elements. This fresh perspective creates a unique reading experience that stands apart from secular urban fantasy's often darker tone.

What truly makes their collaboration special is the diverse mythological tapestry they weave together. Drawing from Leanna's Choctaw heritage, European folklore, Middle Eastern djinn traditions, and African were-lion mythology, they've created rich, inclusive fantasy universes that reflect our diverse world. Their honest discussion about the co-authoring process reveals valuable insights for aspiring writers: find someone who speaks your "creative language," provide constructive critique without negativity, and lean on each other when creative walls appear. Whether you're a budding author, mythology enthusiast, or faith-oriented reader looking for something different, this conversation offers a fascinating glimpse into how two creative minds can merge to create something greater than the sum of its parts.

Two fantasy authors discuss their unique creative partnership that began when they discovered they were both writing similar urban Christian fantasy featuring mythical creatures.

• Both authors felt isolated in writing urban fantasy with mythological elements in a Christian context until finding each other
• Leanna explains how she integrates magic into her Christian worldview by portraying it as a gift from God that works within "nature's song of glory"
• They discuss incorporating diverse mythologies including Choctaw traditions, European folklore, and creatures from African and Middle Eastern cultures
• Co-authoring succeeds when partners understand each other's genre, vision, and can provide constructive critique without negativity
• They created characters for each other's books, expanding their shared creative universes
• The "cozy" genre discussion reveals its expansion beyond mysteries to include fantasy, sci-fi and other genres with specific conventions
• Both began with different projects (alien stories) before finding their niche in mythology-based urban fantasy
