Radical Mercy: Why Protecting the Vulnerable is a Spiritual MandateUntitled Episode
Description
"What does a suicide bombing in Tal Afar, Iraq, have to do with the safety of your grandchildren in Georgia? Everything.
Join Austin Gardner and special guest Stephen Underwood (Black Flag Innocence Foundation) for a raw look at the reality of child sex trafficking in America. This isn’t just about statistics; it’s about the spiritual and physical mandate to be ‘sheepdogs’ for those who cannot protect themselves.
Key Highlights:
- The PTSD Cure: Why ‘getting outside of ourselves’ and focusing on others is the ultimate path to healing for veterans.
- Vigilance vs. Paranoia: Practical advice on probing questions to ask your children and the importance of digital accountability.
- The Gideon Strategy: A biblical deep-dive into how God looks past our fear and sees the ‘mighty man of valor’ inside of us.
- The Reality Check: Why ‘denial’ is the greatest weapon predators have against our families.
Stephen reminds us that God doesn’t see us for who we are, but for who we can become. Whether you are a veteran struggling with your past or a parent worried about the future, this episode offers a roadmap for turning mercy into action.
