Innocence Shattered - America's Silent Crisis · Life TV now

0:09
Speaker 1: There is a silent epidemic of child abuse unfolding across
0:13
Speaker 1: Western civilization right now. It's affecting hundreds of thousands of children,
0:18
Speaker 1: and the devastating reality is that most Americans don't even
0:22
Speaker 1: know it's happening. Worse, the modern Church, the Body of Christ,
0:27
Speaker 1: often seems ill equipped and unprepared to stand in the
0:30
Speaker 1: gap for these broken lives. What really happens behind closed
0:35
Speaker 1: doors and the very systems meant to protect children? And
0:38
Speaker 1: why do the true numbers of victims rarely reach the public?
0:43
Speaker 1: Is there a connection between foster care and child exploitation
0:47
Speaker 1: even trafficking. Will explore all of this and what you
0:51
Speaker 1: can do to make a difference in the life of
0:53
Speaker 1: a child in need. Right now, welcome to Life TV Now,
1:06
Speaker 1: where we unpack all matters of truth, faith and freedom.
1:09
Speaker 1: I'm Jamie Woodle, and today's topic of discussion is very sobering,
1:14
Speaker 1: very sobering, but necessary. Before we dive in, let me
1:17
Speaker 1: introduce who's here. She is the founder of Whispering Ponies Ranch,
1:21
Speaker 1: a charitable ministry for children in need of rehabilitation. Please welcome,
1:25
Speaker 1: Need a Horn, Last.
1:31
Speaker 2: Kid.
1:32
Speaker 1: He's the CEO of Life TV Now, a multi time
1:36
Speaker 1: best selling author and an award winning film producer behind
1:39
Speaker 1: the Rescue US six part documentary series. He's also a
1:43
Speaker 1: Board certified holistic health practitioner whose work in natural health,
1:47
Speaker 1: healing and child rehabilitation is recognized worldwide. Please welcome Joe Horn. Now, Joe,
1:59
Speaker 1: you've reed written Innocent Shattered. It had to have been
2:03
Speaker 1: hard to write well.
2:04
Speaker 2: And then the subtitle dismantling the insidious War against our children.
2:09
Speaker 2: Western civilization at large is totally unaware of the thousands
2:13
Speaker 2: and thousands and thousands of kids. It's a sea so
2:17
Speaker 2: far and so wide that most people can't even comprehend
2:20
Speaker 2: the totality of this problem. These are kids that society
2:24
Speaker 2: is totally unaware of, being locked in dogcages. They're being
2:28
Speaker 2: beaten with bicycle chains or two by fours. These are
2:31
Speaker 2: kids that have had their hands held on the tops
2:34
Speaker 2: of stoves as a form of discipline at the hands
2:36
Speaker 2: of malevolent abusers. These are not parents, These are not
2:40
Speaker 2: guardians to me, these are captors. This problem is worsened
2:44
Speaker 2: by an overburdened foster care system that we can talk
2:46
Speaker 2: about if you want to, and it's being made much
2:49
Speaker 2: worse by the indulgence at large, people participating in the
2:54
Speaker 2: adult entertainment industry, which is largely responsible for fueling the
2:58
Speaker 2: demand for paid for and let's just say assault of children.
3:04
Speaker 2: Because there's certain things on a program like this network
3:06
Speaker 2: television Christian outlets. I want to make sure that we
3:09
Speaker 2: sanitize this so the programs aren't being deplatformed or taken down,
3:13
Speaker 2: which is another really gravitus difficulty that I face as
3:16
Speaker 2: a child advocate that's written on these things. So the
3:18
Speaker 2: book Innocent Shattered details the very specific nature of this
3:23
Speaker 2: massive problem, but it does so in a way that
3:26
Speaker 2: is sanitary for Christian readership. There are no actual acts
3:29
Speaker 2: of violence or scenes of abuse written out, but it
3:32
Speaker 2: does provide the staggering data on what is behind this,
3:36
Speaker 2: where it's coming from, the root causes, and then, of
3:38
Speaker 2: course at the end an appendix for those that have
3:41
Speaker 2: been moved by it toward the spirit of God. To
3:44
Speaker 2: stand in the Gap for Children a series of thought
3:47
Speaker 2: exercises crafted specifically to take the reader through a process
3:51
Speaker 2: of really looking introspectively at what they might be able
3:54
Speaker 2: to offer God in terms of a solution for standing
3:57
Speaker 2: in the Gap for Children. The one thing that the
3:58
Speaker 2: book absolutely accomp if you finish reading it is it
4:02
Speaker 2: leaves you excuseless.
4:03
Speaker 1: Wow.
4:04
Speaker 2: And this is something I know all too well, my
4:06
Speaker 2: beautiful mother Nita, who joins us today as the founder
4:09
Speaker 2: of a place called Whispering Pony's Ranch, where we now
4:12
Speaker 2: as a family stand in the gap for the very
4:14
Speaker 2: children I'm describing. These are the kids that have been
4:16
Speaker 2: pulled out of sex trafficking. These are the kids that
4:18
Speaker 2: are wards of the state. They've been abused in every unimaginable,
4:22
Speaker 2: inconceivable way possible. These are children that literally hide under
4:28
Speaker 2: their beds at night from real life monsters that live
4:31
Speaker 2: just down the hallway, waiting for their next abuse cycle,
4:35
Speaker 2: waiting for someone to stand in the gap for them,
4:37
Speaker 2: waiting for someone to rescue them, waiting for a hero
4:41
Speaker 2: to pay attention to them, to notice them. Many of
4:43
Speaker 2: these kids are at school. They're bearing all of the
4:45
Speaker 2: signs and symptoms for those that could discern what this
4:48
Speaker 2: looks like and maybe begin to investigate, poke around, ask questions,
4:52
Speaker 2: discover what's going on at home, and no one does.
4:55
Speaker 2: They're either ill equipped or they're totally unknowledgeable to the
4:58
Speaker 2: whole discussion. So we as a family now look into
5:02
Speaker 2: the eyes of hurting children, and we want to put
5:05
Speaker 2: a stop to it. We want to put a stop
5:08
Speaker 2: to the underlying root causes of what's creating the demand
5:11
Speaker 2: in the first place for these malevolent actors that are
5:15
Speaker 2: now even willing to pay for the abuse of young people.
5:19
Speaker 2: So obviously the title Dismantling the Insidious War against Our Children.
5:23
Speaker 2: Last year, when we put out the six part Rescue
5:25
Speaker 2: US television docuseries, you have the book version, you have
5:29
Speaker 2: the much longer video version. It played out over a
5:32
Speaker 2: series of six episodes. They basically outlined the same thing.
5:36
Speaker 2: It is what we're calling as a family, the Luciferian
5:39
Speaker 2: assault against God's most precious gift to us, and that
5:43
Speaker 2: is our children. If you want to know what tomorrow
5:46
Speaker 2: looks like, If you want to know what our leaders
5:48
Speaker 2: look like, our thinkers, our teachers, our police officers, our politicians,
5:53
Speaker 2: our church leaders, you look no further than the kind
5:56
Speaker 2: of children that we're raising today. So how are we doing?
5:59
Speaker 2: First of all, I want to say that this assault
6:01
Speaker 2: comes in many, many, many directions. Lucifer is very crafty.
6:06
Speaker 2: We have cartoons now that are trying to normalize inappropriate
6:11
Speaker 2: intimate relationships between adults and children. Massive, massive studios that
6:16
Speaker 2: are purposefully producing cartoons, utilizing propaganda to try to normalize
6:22
Speaker 2: things like gender confusion. This is happening in our school
6:25
Speaker 2: systems under the guise of bits of critical race theory
6:29
Speaker 2: or healthy sex education. We're now guiding children toddlers basically
6:34
Speaker 2: through whether or not they believe to be the gender
6:36
Speaker 2: that God assigned them when they came out of the wombs,
6:39
Speaker 2: and what it's like to like a Choose your Own
6:41
Speaker 2: Adventure book, decide what your reality is and how you identify.
6:45
Speaker 2: We have social media apps now, AI companion apps that
6:48
Speaker 2: you can download. Children now being raised by screens where
6:52
Speaker 2: parents and guardians, the people that might love them either
6:55
Speaker 2: don't have access to the children or the ones that
6:58
Speaker 2: do are letting television and raise them. This is an epidemic.
7:02
Speaker 2: We have kids now that are spending more time talking
7:04
Speaker 2: to their companion AI apps about life's darkest and deepest
7:08
Speaker 2: and most gravitus questions that they can imagine in their
7:13
Speaker 2: formative years. They're asking AI companion apps because they don't
7:16
Speaker 2: feel like they've got anyone else that they can talk to,
7:18
Speaker 2: and AI is guiding them through whether maybe unliving themselves
7:22
Speaker 2: is a viable option for how to confront their depression.
7:27
Speaker 2: We have efforts from the mainstream media our school systems
7:30
Speaker 2: to try to normalize these things through the repackaging of
7:33
Speaker 2: words that used to carry a negative connotation, words like
7:37
Speaker 2: peed file and I say it that way, not because
7:42
Speaker 2: I don't have the courage to say it, but because
7:44
Speaker 2: the minute I do, a lot of the algorithms that
7:46
Speaker 2: would have tolerated this episode will take the episode down. Yeah,
7:49
Speaker 2: they will through maps. Minor attracted persons. See, it's not dark,
7:54
Speaker 2: it's not creepy, it's normal. This is just how someone
7:57
Speaker 2: was born. This is how they identify, and if they
8:00
Speaker 2: love somebody of that young age, it's love. And we're
8:04
Speaker 2: going to teach the children by the way that this
8:06
Speaker 2: is love, because we're also trying to normalize this to
8:09
Speaker 2: the degree that children of abuse no longer recognize it
8:12
Speaker 2: as abuse, complicit victims of abuse going along with whatever's
8:18
Speaker 2: happening at home so that they speak less. This is
8:20
Speaker 2: being packaged as love abuse cycles. I'm not going to
8:24
Speaker 2: go into all of the varying cartoons. The large multimedia
8:27
Speaker 2: streaming platforms that have had backlash just in the last
8:30
Speaker 2: year for pushing transgender ideologies or gender confusing ideologies, or
8:37
Speaker 2: efforts to try to normalize this. I want to say
8:40
Speaker 2: that right now, I'm not here to disparage the foster
8:44
Speaker 2: care system. If you're a part of the foster care
8:47
Speaker 2: system and you opened up your home altruistically because you
8:50
Speaker 2: love the Lord and you want to create a safe
8:52
Speaker 2: haven for children, because you believe that this is a
8:55
Speaker 2: place for you where you can stand in the gap.
8:57
Speaker 2: This is your commission, this is your calling, then we
9:00
Speaker 2: plaud you because you're already part of the winning team.
9:02
Speaker 2: If you're in law enforcement and you're surveilling communities for
9:05
Speaker 2: signs of abuse and battery, the kinds of things that
9:08
Speaker 2: you would see synonymous with a lot of the more
9:11
Speaker 2: visible brands of abuse, you're already part of the good
9:14
Speaker 2: guy team. You're doing something about this, whether you know
9:17
Speaker 2: that you are or not. If you're a case worker
9:20
Speaker 2: standing in the gap for children that way, doing investigations
9:22
Speaker 2: into homes to try to find where these evil actors are.
9:26
Speaker 2: It's very difficult work, and the ones that have taken
9:28
Speaker 2: the kids in that are suffering some of the side
9:31
Speaker 2: effects of kids that have been through these abuse cycles
9:34
Speaker 2: that is often very thankless in this life in terms
9:38
Speaker 2: of props, accolades, ata boys, very thankless. And if you're
9:43
Speaker 2: doing the good work because you love children, once again,
9:45
Speaker 2: you're already part of the good guy team. However, I
9:47
Speaker 2: want to caveat all of what I just said by
9:50
Speaker 2: telling you, in case you didn't know, the foster care
9:53
Speaker 2: system in and of itself as a side effect of
9:55
Speaker 2: a spiritual problem, and that we would not need a
9:57
Speaker 2: foster care system if parents wanted their children in the
10:01
Speaker 2: first place, if parents were taking care of their children
10:04
Speaker 2: in the first place, right prioritizing their children in the
10:07
Speaker 2: first place, This is a spiritual problem. Government does not
10:11
Speaker 2: cure spiritual problems. They're operated by human beings. Power, unmitigated power,
10:19
Speaker 2: or the perception of often creates what corruption. And so
10:25
Speaker 2: the foster care system in and of itself is not
10:28
Speaker 2: to blame for where all of these children came from.
10:30
Speaker 2: But in terms of handling the load, it's an overburdened system.
10:35
Speaker 2: And I don't want to give any one ideas, but
10:37
Speaker 2: I have no choice but to report this. The foster
10:40
Speaker 2: care system is ladened with predators, people that are opportunists.
10:46
Speaker 2: They see the blind spots and They've literally made experts
10:49
Speaker 2: out of their ability to kind of interpret where these
10:52
Speaker 2: blind spots are, and they've used this system to line
10:55
Speaker 2: up victim after victim after victim. They are masters at
11:00
Speaker 2: how to milk the system and to work every blind spot.
11:03
Speaker 2: They know how the courts work. They know how many
11:05
Speaker 2: assertions of abuse can be tolerated before it's time to
11:09
Speaker 2: move children to another home. They know this, and this
11:12
Speaker 2: is how you have children in the foster care system
11:15
Speaker 2: who are able to say, man, I was abused by
11:17
Speaker 2: almost every person that I was with over the course
11:20
Speaker 2: of over a decade. And this is the ones that
11:23
Speaker 2: are blessed enough not to end up totally missing. Another
11:28
Speaker 2: massive problem is every year, countless young people and children
11:33
Speaker 2: come up missing from the foster care system, often listed
11:36
Speaker 2: as runaway. Well, runaway maybe runaway, but runaway may also
11:41
Speaker 2: be we don't have a better narrative, and we don't
11:43
Speaker 2: have the man power to investigate an actual investigation to
11:47
Speaker 2: know where little Billy or little Susan went run away.
11:51
Speaker 2: They have a history of running away, Maybe that enhances
11:53
Speaker 2: that narrative. Maybe they don't have a better explanation. Just
11:57
Speaker 2: to give you some kind of mathematical perspective of how
12:00
Speaker 2: bad this problem is right now as we're sitting here,
12:03
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six, the average will be more than
12:06
Speaker 2: four hundred and twenty thousand children. Four hundred and twenty
12:09
Speaker 2: thousand children actively living right now in the foster care system. Now,
12:14
Speaker 2: of the four hundred and twenty thousand children actively living
12:17
Speaker 2: in foster care system, ninety percent, that is, nine zero
12:22
Speaker 2: percentile of them are statistically guaranteed to experience at least
12:27
Speaker 2: two to five different types of abuse during their time
12:30
Speaker 2: in the system.
12:31
Speaker 1: Ninety percent.
12:32
Speaker 2: Ninety percent, shocking, yeah, ninety percent. Take ten children, line
12:36
Speaker 2: them up. Nine of them will come out of that system.
12:38
Speaker 2: Of the ones again that are not missing or that
12:41
Speaker 2: you never hear from again, the ones that survived the system,
12:44
Speaker 2: that come out of it, nine of the ten will
12:47
Speaker 2: say they were touched, they were groped, much worse, they
12:52
Speaker 2: were physically violated. I'm not going to go into the
12:54
Speaker 2: descriptions of this, but it involves every kind of assault
13:01
Speaker 2: that decent people cannot imagine, and then much worse during
13:04
Speaker 2: their time in the system. And you might be wondering,
13:06
Speaker 2: how in the world is that possible here in the
13:08
Speaker 2: United States. You would think right that there would be
13:11
Speaker 2: this governing agency. They hear of abuse, they step in,
13:14
Speaker 2: they fix this problem. Abusers in that system are only
13:19
Speaker 2: offered one child before they're discovered, and then that's the end.
13:21
Speaker 2: That's the cutoff. You're going to jail. But if you
13:24
Speaker 2: understand how overburdened it is, and how desperate they are
13:27
Speaker 2: for homes, and how difficult it is to get enough
13:30
Speaker 2: men and women on the investigatory part of determining whether
13:34
Speaker 2: abuse is quantifiable, and then you factor in that a
13:37
Speaker 2: lot of these kids have learned that pointing fingers is
13:39
Speaker 2: the only way that they get some attention. You get
13:42
Speaker 2: kind of the boy who Cried Wolf dynamic where he's
13:45
Speaker 2: decrying the absolute truth. But it's man, it isn't even clever.
13:49
Speaker 2: It's just Tuesday. Every ten seconds in the United States
13:53
Speaker 2: right now, since we started this episode, every ten seconds,
13:56
Speaker 2: there's a phone call somewhere in just the US. Abuse
14:00
Speaker 2: is being reported every ten seconds. Now, ask yourself, how
14:03
Speaker 2: many thousands of thorough investigations do you think are taking
14:07
Speaker 2: place right This is how this happens, over and over
14:11
Speaker 2: and over and over again. You might be wondering of
14:16
Speaker 2: the children that age out of this program. Are they
14:18
Speaker 2: equipped statistically ready to do life? Do they have the
14:21
Speaker 2: kind of vocational training, Do they have the social skills
14:25
Speaker 2: to integrate and become productive members of society. You would
14:29
Speaker 2: hope at least the ones that have survived this gauntlet
14:31
Speaker 2: without becoming dead or missing, that they would have some
14:35
Speaker 2: benefit from having survived it. I mean, it's better than
14:37
Speaker 2: living under a bridge. Right. Well, eighty percent of the
14:41
Speaker 2: young men that age out of foster care will become
14:43
Speaker 2: incarcerated almost right away, having no coping skills whatsoever. What's
14:47
Speaker 2: worse is society now has stigmatized these kids. They've seen
14:51
Speaker 2: them in their public schools. They're not interested in the backstory.
14:54
Speaker 2: They know that Billy lashes out. He's not employable, he's trouble.
14:57
Speaker 2: He comes from bad stock, the narrative says, So Billy
15:01
Speaker 2: embracing that identity goes to the only life that he's
15:04
Speaker 2: been told he can have, and that is one of crime,
15:07
Speaker 2: as a drug lord, as an enforcer, maybe somebody petty theft,
15:11
Speaker 2: until they're arrested and now they're living in jail. A
15:13
Speaker 2: misdemeanor leads to a homicide, leads to something more complicated.
15:18
Speaker 2: See this is Lucifer's plan for these children, it's to
15:20
Speaker 2: first be captive and then live a life of absolute
15:24
Speaker 2: death and total destruction. Seventy percent of the young women
15:28
Speaker 2: will be pregnant, statistically in their early twenties, with children
15:32
Speaker 2: that are almost statistically guaranteed to end up back where
15:36
Speaker 2: can you guess, mom? You know where? Do they go
15:38
Speaker 2: back into foster? Oh?
15:40
Speaker 1: That's heartbreaking.
15:41
Speaker 2: They have no comprehension for life, they have no maternal
15:44
Speaker 2: sense of developed life perspectives, never role modeled, for it
15:48
Speaker 2: was never role modeled. They've never been shown love and
15:50
Speaker 2: affection themselves. And worse, they fear the day that they
15:53
Speaker 2: will think of their own children the way that their
15:55
Speaker 2: mother made them feel that she thought about them. Than
16:00
Speaker 2: that they fear that their children will grow up and
16:03
Speaker 2: hate them with the same hatred that they have for
16:05
Speaker 2: their own biological mothers. Do you see the cycle? It
16:10
Speaker 2: goes on, and it goes on and it goes on. Now,
16:13
Speaker 2: something that we're not going to be labor today, because
16:16
Speaker 2: I do want to pivot in this episode to some
16:17
Speaker 2: of the hopeful things that we see God doing when
16:20
Speaker 2: he meets these broken children. It defies all secular understanding
16:25
Speaker 2: of psychology, all of the programs that exist to provide rehabilitation.
16:29
Speaker 2: What we see at a place called Whispering Ponies Ranch,
16:32
Speaker 2: when Jesus Christ meets these kids face to face is
16:35
Speaker 2: nothing short of supernatural. But before we get to some
16:38
Speaker 2: of what we see God doing there, I just want
16:40
Speaker 2: to go one more layer to this gauntlet, and it
16:43
Speaker 2: is so large we were never going to get it
16:44
Speaker 2: all into a short form episode like this. The foster
16:47
Speaker 2: care to human pipeline for sex trafficking, and again because
16:53
Speaker 2: of the blind spots, because of the number of children
16:55
Speaker 2: that come up missing, because of how predators are exploiting
16:58
Speaker 2: this system. Of the kids that come up missing, they're
17:01
Speaker 2: also feared to be forced into prostitution. And this is
17:04
Speaker 2: the destiny of a lot of these children. And get
17:06
Speaker 2: this by way of their own guardians or family members.
17:11
Speaker 2: I'm talking about drug addicted parents, uncles, Steward's guardians, the
17:16
Speaker 2: ones that have custody, people close to them. The ones
17:20
Speaker 2: close to them are offering them to square bad drug
17:23
Speaker 2: deals or they're so hooked on what their dependency has
17:26
Speaker 2: become they offer the children as a form of entertainment
17:30
Speaker 2: to get somebody to maybe move the literal gun from
17:33
Speaker 2: the back of their head. They've taken such pleasure with
17:37
Speaker 2: the children themselves that they've used them as household entertainment.
17:41
Speaker 2: So this is a forced This is a form of
17:43
Speaker 2: forced prostitution where you use the child. It never leaves
17:46
Speaker 2: the home. It's never trafficked in the sense that you
17:49
Speaker 2: watch a movie and somebody in a van pulls up
17:51
Speaker 2: and takes the child and you never see them again.
17:53
Speaker 2: But they're being used for pleasure and even loaned out
17:56
Speaker 2: for pleasure at the malevolent hands of people that are
17:59
Speaker 2: nothing short in my of deeply troubled, likely demonic, that
18:03
Speaker 2: you could even find pleasure in not just the abuse
18:07
Speaker 2: of children. But this goes very dark, and I very
18:11
Speaker 2: carefully deal with this in the book Innocent Shattered. How
18:14
Speaker 2: dark this goes, that you could be capable of not
18:16
Speaker 2: just taking pleasure in the abuse of a child, but
18:19
Speaker 2: the suffering of a child. This is why I say
18:21
Speaker 2: this is demonic. People are not inherently born with an
18:24
Speaker 2: interest in some of what society has started to do
18:27
Speaker 2: with these children. That's why the book is Innocence Shattered.
18:31
Speaker 2: We have seen this face to face, the side effects
18:33
Speaker 2: of kids that have been handled so many times that
18:37
Speaker 2: for them it was normal. This was love, And so
18:41
Speaker 2: you're not just dealing with the pain and the exhaling
18:44
Speaker 2: whales of terror. You're dealing with trying to reshape a
18:48
Speaker 2: perspective of love back to what Christ intended to be.
18:51
Speaker 2: They have no basis at all or comprehension of what
18:54
Speaker 2: normal is. When we work with children at Whispering Pony's Ranch,
18:58
Speaker 2: we can't even say things like we love you. There
19:00
Speaker 2: are words that are trigger words that you would think
19:02
Speaker 2: take for granted if you've only been in a healthy home,
19:06
Speaker 2: good job, Little billy could mean anything to little bit wow.
19:10
Speaker 2: So your affirmation has to be very generic in presentation,
19:13
Speaker 2: but very meant from the heart. Until you get to
19:16
Speaker 2: know a child who maybe uses words first, you learn
19:20
Speaker 2: parts of the backstory. And some of these children's case
19:22
Speaker 2: did not have to do with a salt. It had
19:25
Speaker 2: to do with a neglect. Many of the kids that
19:27
Speaker 2: we serve, they're taking things home in their pockets from
19:30
Speaker 2: the public school launch They do the same thing at
19:32
Speaker 2: was Spring Pony's Ranch. They've never had clean food. They'll
19:35
Speaker 2: only institutionalized pre canned foods because anything they've seen in
19:39
Speaker 2: the fridge has been neglected. So long, it makes them sick.
19:42
Speaker 2: They're watching the expiration dates, they're malnourished, they have deficiencies
19:46
Speaker 2: in every kind of mineral, potassium, magnesium. So to kind
19:50
Speaker 2: of round this out, you do see the scenario depicted
19:54
Speaker 2: in movies. The white van shows up in the middle
19:57
Speaker 2: of the night, forces someone into a take them to Europe.
20:00
Speaker 2: You never see him again. You do see that that's
20:02
Speaker 2: a form of it is a form of it. But
20:05
Speaker 2: in my view, and I bring the receipts in the
20:07
Speaker 2: book in Aos and Shattered, most of how trafficking is
20:09
Speaker 2: taking place is happening online through a process called grooming.
20:13
Speaker 2: It is conditioning children to interact with very dangerous individuals
20:17
Speaker 2: who have every intention at first of leaving that child
20:20
Speaker 2: placed where they're already at, but finding a way to
20:24
Speaker 2: eventually have their way with that child. So be watching
20:27
Speaker 2: what does that look like? What does that look like
20:28
Speaker 2: for a young child to be being groomed but still
20:31
Speaker 2: in place where they currently live. If you're a school teacher,
20:34
Speaker 2: if you're a parent in proxy, if you're a Sunday
20:36
Speaker 2: school teacher, if you're somebody that works with children, and
20:38
Speaker 2: you have an opportunity to recognize markings that don't square
20:41
Speaker 2: up with how often little Billy says he fell on
20:43
Speaker 2: his skateboard. That might be a situation where you would
20:46
Speaker 2: want to call child Services to see if they are
20:48
Speaker 2: interested in conducting an interview or an investigation. Poke around.
20:53
Speaker 2: Pay attention to young people coming home with pedicures and
20:55
Speaker 2: manicures that you know they did not have the money
20:57
Speaker 2: to buy. A lot of these are children that being
21:00
Speaker 2: picked up at school and then returned to school by
21:03
Speaker 2: a potential sugar daddy or somebody that's looking to kind
21:05
Speaker 2: of show them the kind of affection that they didn't
21:08
Speaker 2: get at home. And by the way, if you're wondering
21:10
Speaker 2: what prime targets are, it's homes with very weak or
21:13
Speaker 2: almost non existent parental involvement, so weak dads that are
21:18
Speaker 2: not engaged. They look for this stuff on Facebook. They're
21:21
Speaker 2: looking for the little girls. She's super trendy, she's got
21:24
Speaker 2: the stuff, she's all and she's doing the Facebook posts
21:29
Speaker 2: and they're looking at the total family. Does she also
21:32
Speaker 2: post with dad? Does he look opposing? Does he look engaged?
21:39
Speaker 2: Conservative Christian family with dad right there next? This is why,
21:43
Speaker 2: by the way, tragically again, foster care children. Not only
21:47
Speaker 2: are these foster children four to five times more likely
21:50
Speaker 2: to unlive themselves than those children living in homes not
21:56
Speaker 2: foster care. But they're also premium targets for traffickers, sugar daddies, John's,
22:03
Speaker 2: and those looking to force them into prostitution because of
22:07
Speaker 2: the fact that they already have histories of depression, they
22:11
Speaker 2: have issues with feeling inept and unvalued. They're looking for
22:15
Speaker 2: someone to affirm them, to talk them into a life
22:18
Speaker 2: of glam. They're told, is this making sense? Yeah, so
22:21
Speaker 2: this is happening often without the captor or the guardian
22:24
Speaker 2: paying any attention, or they're a part of it. Let's
22:27
Speaker 2: make a deal. So if you want to talk some
22:29
Speaker 2: more next week, we can talk about the adult entertainment industry,
22:32
Speaker 2: and there are some shocking revelations behind how that fuels
22:37
Speaker 2: human trafficking. But what if I told you that, in
22:40
Speaker 2: addition to the church, I'm talking about the modern entertainment
22:43
Speaker 2: based church largely being totally uninvolved in this dilemma whatsoever.
22:50
Speaker 2: From the moral ethical teachings of Jesus Christ and his
22:53
Speaker 2: absolute truth to the participation in the very industries fueling
22:58
Speaker 2: the demand for the abuse of children, the exploitation of
23:01
Speaker 2: children that this is happening at the pulpit level. This
23:04
Speaker 2: is our United States church leadership behind this. If I
23:09
Speaker 2: told you that would that absolutely blow your mind. Well,
23:12
Speaker 2: next week I'm going to explain how that's possible.
23:15
Speaker 1: Well, Joe, for our viewers who have been watching this
23:17
Speaker 1: very sobering, heavy topic, hard to hear even and I've
23:21
Speaker 1: been in churches across America most of my entire life,
23:25
Speaker 1: and not one time was this subject ever brought up.
23:29
Speaker 1: This is incredibly important what you're doing. And if our
23:31
Speaker 1: viewers would like to get your book, where can they
23:33
Speaker 1: go to find it?
23:34
Speaker 2: Well, they can buy it anywhere that books are sold.
23:36
Speaker 2: You can purchase it on Amazon dot com if that's
23:39
Speaker 2: handy for it. You have a prime account that's slick
23:41
Speaker 2: and you want to do that, absolutely do that if
23:43
Speaker 2: you want to. Specifically, they'll help the ministry that's being
23:46
Speaker 2: done at Whispering Ponies Ranch. If you want to be
23:49
Speaker 2: a part of standing in the gap for a hurting
23:52
Speaker 2: child and you believe in what's happening at Whispering Pony's
23:56
Speaker 2: Ranch and you want to be a part of that,
23:57
Speaker 2: you can go to our good friends over at SkyWatch TV.

24:43
Speaker 1: going to the skywatchtvstore dot com and you can donate
24:46
Speaker 1: directly to SKYWATCHTV, who underwrites this very important ministry. Joe,
24:51
Speaker 1: have you always been a child advocate or do you
24:54
Speaker 1: feel there was a season of your life that specifically
24:57
Speaker 1: prepared you for the work you're doing now?
24:59
Speaker 2: Well, with only a couple of minutes left, I'll have
25:01
Speaker 2: to make this quick and I will say my mom wins,
25:03
Speaker 2: because right she was there way before me, forging this
25:07
Speaker 2: place called Whispering Pony's Ranch. Herned my father, who passed
25:10
Speaker 2: away in late twenty twenty three. They were building this
25:14
Speaker 2: place years years ago before I was what I would
25:18
Speaker 2: have considered a child advocate. They had a vision for
25:20
Speaker 2: it way earlier than I did. My mom was taking
25:22
Speaker 2: steps to build this place while I was out playing
25:26
Speaker 2: the guitar and training dogs, and my life was totally
25:30
Speaker 2: totally different. To collapse again, we're super out of time.
25:33
Speaker 2: But no, I want to say right now, I totally
25:36
Speaker 2: identify with the guy out there that says to himself, man,
25:40
Speaker 2: that is too much for me. I don't mind being
25:43
Speaker 2: in ministry, but man, that's dark. That's heavy. I remember
25:46
Speaker 2: sitting at a church service on an Easter Sunday some
25:49
Speaker 2: years ago where a guest speaker came in with a
25:51
Speaker 2: ministry that was rescuing children, literally physically going in and
25:54
Speaker 2: pulling them out of the sex trade industry and then
25:57
Speaker 2: rehoming them here in the United States. And I remember
26:01
Speaker 2: at that day going home, Lord, that's too much. That
26:03
Speaker 2: is so heavy, that is just beyond me. I used
26:05
Speaker 2: every excuse my health. I'm a father. I cannot dwell
26:09
Speaker 2: on these dark things. It's just I'm glad that you
26:11
Speaker 2: send some people the strong ones to do that, but
26:14
Speaker 2: I just can't deal with it. Opel Singleton comes to
26:17
Speaker 2: SkyWatch TV, like in twenty fourteen. She's an expert in grooming.
26:20
Speaker 2: She's talking with Derek Gilbert way back in the day,
26:23
Speaker 2: a good friend of mine, about the risks of child grooming.
26:27
Speaker 2: And she's talking in length about some of what we
26:29
Speaker 2: just teased a little bit here today. And again, Lord,
26:32
Speaker 2: I just can't deal with this all my word, it's
26:34
Speaker 2: just too heavy. I can't. This is just not good.
26:37
Speaker 2: Thank you again for Opel. But man, oh man, me,
26:40
Speaker 2: I just w my thresholds. You know, this is gonna
26:42
Speaker 2: tweet this, this is gonna wreck me. Tom Dunn sends
26:47
Speaker 2: me a DVD called Detestable. He's looking at the occult
26:50
Speaker 2: side of the damage that these children are suffering at
26:54
Speaker 2: the luciferian hands of literal, demonic possessed people, and what's
26:57
Speaker 2: happening to some of the ones that you never see again.
27:00
Speaker 2: And I am just like, this is too much. It's
27:02
Speaker 2: too much. It's too much, lord. And one day while
27:04
Speaker 2: I was kind of I call it now wine praying wine, praying, Lord,
27:09
Speaker 2: I just man, you know me, you build me this way,
27:12
Speaker 2: my thresholds. I really felt like he kind of put
27:15
Speaker 2: a stop to He said, you know, Joe, for all
27:16
Speaker 2: of your lamenting and whining and obfuscating what I'm clearly
27:21
Speaker 2: calling you to pay attention to. This is your responsibility.
27:25
Speaker 2: It's your neighbor's responsibility. I don't care what part of
27:27
Speaker 2: the Body of Christ you play. This is your responsibility.
27:31
Speaker 2: So I say, God had to kind of wear me
27:33
Speaker 2: down because I had plans and he had better ones.
27:37
Speaker 2: But I totally get I totally get it. If you're
27:39
Speaker 2: watching this and you're like, man, this is just it's
27:42
Speaker 2: not for me, I'm telling you. This is the responsibility
27:45
Speaker 2: of the body of Christ Matthew twenty five. It is
27:48
Speaker 2: the orphans in the widows. If we're not paying attention
27:51
Speaker 2: to the little ones that are screaming out in terror,
27:53
Speaker 2: we have completely failed as a church.
27:56
Speaker 1: That's right.
27:57
Speaker 2: Amen.
28:02
Speaker 1: Well, unfortunately we're all out of time. Thank you for
28:05
Speaker 1: joining us today. For everybody in studio, Joe, Nita, thank
28:09
Speaker 1: you for being here. I'm Jamie Woodle. We'll be back
