This is but a taste of the terror that Saruman will unleash.

Ride out and meet him head-on. You must fight. I will not risk open war. Open war is upon you.

Whether you would risk it or not. I am the star of a giant pond. Welcome to the Christian Car Guy Radio Show. I say this calls for action and now, nip it in the bud. Nip it in the bud.

You got to nip it in the bud. But I can't remember what grace is. Tell me once again who I am to you. Who I am to you. Open war is upon you.

Whether you would risk it or not. I think you're going to be so glad you tuned in today to the Christian Car Guy Show. Not only are we live, but we're live from the Men's Summit, which is here in North Carolina. But we're live with a team from Landon Rescue. Now some of you that are listening to the Truth Network are very familiar with Landon Rescue and what they do in the sex trafficking field, going around the world, helping out in this area.

But some of you have never heard of it because you're not necessarily in the same network. So we have the team, Mark, Ren, TC, and Alan with us. One of the rare opportunities I get to do this. So I thought, well, how cool. We'll take them on the Christian Car Guy Show and go live. So if you've ever wondered about this stuff, and this team goes all over the world rescuing people from this.

And you're going to hear so many stories along those lines. And so, well, we'll just start off with Ren. Yeah, so thank you so much for having us on today, Robbie. So we're with Landon Rescue. It's an organization that travels the world and rescues victims of sex and human trafficking.

We go in and train local law enforcement to become counter-trafficking task forces and they're able to continue the rescues while we're either in another country or back home in America. And we've really been blessed the last couple of years. Many doors have opened. We're operating in about six countries right now. And we've seen incredible growth and just amazing things happen and countless victims are rescued every day. And it's really been amazing to be able to work with Robbie as well and spread our message through the Truth Network and do God's work in this industry and help people.

Yeah, that's so cool. And Mark, you know, you guys have your own, you know, this is a car show, so it's okay. We've got some car stories.

Like, can you imagine you're in some country? Take us there, Mark, to a short, you know. We were just as a team talking before the show that we were trying to remember if we've ever had a vehicle that had air conditioning, first of all. And I know that we could put a pretty cool tape together of the sounds that all our cars make. And, I mean, they are, you know, everything, a mechanic and everybody on the Christian Car Guys show would say, that car's not going to make it another 100 feet.

All of our cars make all of those sounds in third world countries. So, anyway, but yeah, we've broken down in the midst of operations. I'll just recall one and maybe somebody wants to recall another one. I recall we are in the Caribbean area, it's the middle of the night. We're headed to a raid of a nightclub to remove, extract some children, some victims. And, you know, the car breaks down. It wasn't just a flat tire, TC, it was like we were losing bolts and nuts and everything else. You know, and here we are in pitch darkness, you know, trying to strap this vehicle back together. And we used duct tape, right?

I know the whole wheel was coming off. Yeah, we used something. I mean, we used like duct tape and, you know, chewing gum. You duct taped the wheel.

Let's make it sound really cool. Stole some lug nuts from other people and placed some pasture back together. Waived down some vehicles and took their stuff. So, TC, you know, it's easy for us to go, well, I've had a flat tire, but this situation, right, you've got people that are going into harm's way. They need you and so you guys fell behind. I mean, was there some communication that went through that?

Barely communications. We were definitely in convoy. We had actually performed several ops, had taken some of the victims back and we were headed back out into a pretty rough area. And, yeah, we were held up for a bit. But, you know, one of our teammates was super good and he, like we said, you know, bubble gum and rubber bands and a little duct tape.

So, Alan, you know, if you were to see Alan, if you were sitting next to him like me, you know, I get a chance to talk to Nikita Kolov, but this guy makes Nikita look like a small guy. So, am I guessing that you didn't need to jack up the car that you just picked it up? Well, fortunately, they have tactical rocks and that's what we more often than not use to get the vehicles up and on a stationary platform to change tires or whatever.

That is the truth. You actually look for rocks to help jack up the vehicles over there. That's a good idea. You know, that's really quite brilliant. It's like your own jack stands.

You can drive right up on them. Well, it's not like it was an original idea. I only do it because I saw other people doing it on the way to these operations. You'll see somebody broke down along the road and they'll have five rocks piled up and using a stick to jack the truck up with. It's like, oh, that's a good idea. So, it does have value in it to pay attention to the area you're in and see how the locals operate.

So, how fun today. We are again at the Men's Summit here in North Carolina where they are really talking today about Kingdom Men activated. And so, our hope through this show today, you know, yeah, we'll talk about cars a little bit.

But for the most part, we want to talk about what God is doing around the world. And you heard at the beginning of the show that scene from Lord of the Rings where King Theoden doesn't want to risk open war. And he's told, you know, open war is upon you.

Will you risk it or not? Well, when you look in the full armor passage in Ephesians 6, there's many times, I'm going to read it for you just real quick so that you'll track with me for a minute. It says, finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and the power of his might, but on the whole armor of God that you may stand against the wiles of the devil. For we don't wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of this darkness of this age, against spiritual host of wickedness in heavenly places. Therefore, take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand the evil in the day and having done all to stand, stand.

So you might notice that the word stand comes in there several times. So open war is upon us spiritually whether we risk it or not. And it really is around the world as our eyes are open more to sex trafficking and other things you might be becoming aware of in our country and stuff lately. That, wow, there's a lot of evil out there.

It's seriously evil. So what's my role as a Christian is this open war is upon us whether we risk it or not. And here Paul is instructing us to pray and very specifically to stand. Well, when you look at that word stand in Hebrew, it's a beautiful thing. It starts out with this yud, which literally means here's the hand of God.

It's coming down. Okay, what do you do? You take hold of it, right? What does it got on it? Nail marks. It's got his blood. So as we take hold of God's hand, it's a really significant thing.

So as you're standing, the first thing you're supposed to do is take hold of that nail scar hand. And the second thing is this attic, which means righteousness. So when I look at these guys, as I'm blessed to be able to do, these guys stand and why are they able to stand? Because they know they're right.

They know that you're not supposed to take little girls, little boys or take them into slavery or sex slavery. They're standing there holding God's hand in righteousness. And then the last letter is this bet, which means the kingdom. So the kingdom is coming and so look up, right?

Where is it coming from? It's coming from heaven, okay? And so this word stand, if you can picture it with me, is that we're going to stand against the devil. We're going to stand against this evil, which is real, all over the world coming up against the church. We're going to stand there holding God's hand in righteousness, in his righteousness, right? That hand comes with the blood.

It's his righteousness we're standing in. And we're looking up because that's where our help comes from. Right, Mark? Yeah.

In reading that passage, I can't help but think of the team here. First of all, people often ask me as well, are you at war? Are you in war? And truly we're in a war against human trafficking. But each one of us has been in a war since the day we entered this earth. And that's what you're trying to describe there. People don't understand that the devil and those things who fight against us, they want to destroy us.

Completely destroy us. And we are in a war. But particularly in that passage, it also has, it directs us to put on the full armor of God.

Right? We are four individuals who live a great majority of our lives wearing body armor. Okay, so when we read that passage, we have a real connection to it.

Okay, because we know what armor does and how it should be put on and what it should address. Oh, how fun is this going to be? You don't want to miss this next segment. It's coming up.

We are at the men's summit in Kernersville live today. The show is open war is upon you. Whether you risk it or not, even in your car, stay tuned. This is but a taste of the terror that Solomon will unleash.

Ride out and meet him head on. You must fight. I will not risk open war. Open war is upon you, whether you would risk it or not.

Open war is upon you, whether you would risk it or not. Today on the Christian Car Guys show, we're so blessed really, really to be here live at the men's summit in Kernersville where they are talking Kingdom Men activated. And so as we wake up to the battle that's afoot and wake up to the evil that we are really born into, as Mark was just talking about, we have Lan, the team from Lan and Rescue.

It's lanandrescue.org where you can find out, wow, how you can pray for the team if God puts it on your heart to support what you're going to hear a lot of cool stuff from them. When we left our heroes from Lan and Rescue, or Resco, you know, this is sort of a restaurant. They're talking about opening up for Alan. But as we left it, we were talking about, you know, Mark was talking about this, the full armor and what that's like and our tactical guys with Lan and Rescue, Alan and TC. TC, you want to kind of explain for our listeners what that might feel like for you?

Absolutely. I want to segue a little bit and just grab on to the end of what you guys were talking about. I think if people believe that evil and darkness is going to prevail and if we watch that and we watch that and we watch that, then you start to get discouraged. But in Romans 8, Paul tells us that if God is for us, who can be against us? Like there's zero things that can be done against us.

And then Jesus says very, very clearly that the gates of hell will not prevail against the church. And so we go out as light and so when we do that, one of the things we do is we kind of suit up with the armor of the day, so to speak. And so we all have kit and depending on the country, the kit varies a little, but the base of the kit is ballistic. It will stop, depending on what we're wearing, it will either stop a rifle round or a pistol round and we get all wrapped up in that. And so far we haven't worked in any Arctic countries, so it gets a little warmer.

We don't smell as good as we did when we started. And Alan's going to talk about some of the stuff we throw on that to make it, but yeah, we definitely go out and try. The reason is maybe not that we're afraid per se, but that it actually prolongs the mission and it's good for my teammates if I'm whole physically.

If I can function, it's better for the crew too. So yeah, we throw it on. Yeah, so what TC's talking about with the armoring, you always hear the armor of God and it's really the same concept. Most of us on the team have grown up in armor literally from the age of 17. I was wearing body armor in the military and right into special teams moving through, but that armor can change depending on the issues you face. So in most countries we're looking at pistol caliber rounds, so we're usually wearing a soft armor, which sounds kind of cool, but it doesn't breathe very well. None of the armor does actually, but what happened in Africa, I guess I'd say Africa, we were there last.

I just came out of a climate where it was like 20 degrees and 48 hours later I was in a climate where it was 110 degrees, so I didn't get a chance, none of us got a chance to climatize. We hit the ground running about 100 degrees, threw on our kits, went out and started teaching these people and all of a sudden you're like, whoa, getting a little woozy and realize that you got to start intaking a lot of water. But the kits, they consist of either soft armor or plate armor and that's usually for your upper torso. Most of the time, whether it's a smart idea or not, we don't wear helmets and there's various reasons for that. And then we either have a leg rig, which is a drop holster, which accommodates whatever pistol you can come in contact with in that country. It's not always a pristine pistol, it's always something other than pristine, we'll just say that. And if there's a long gun, it may not be the kind you're used to, a long gun is a rifle. And these are all, it sounds like we're going to war, and you truly are, but it is more of a defensive system we have on us, not an offensive, although we can switch that gear and get into an offensive. But we always go in and try to go in in a less aggressive manner to these things, so we don't necessarily go in with guns drawn, but we do have that ability to go to those tools if they're needed.

One of the things I'd like to bring up is we try to prepare ourselves as much as we can prior to going into these operations. I don't know where I heard this at, but God doesn't always send the equip, but he equips those he sends. So when we find ourselves in these countries and we think we've got everything covered, sometimes we don't, and we have to add to or take away from, but God always does equip us properly for whatever circumstances we're in. And from a spiritual aspect, when you think about that, as I'm just listening to you, I'm thinking, wow, if you weren't going up against a really enemy, if you're not up against something serious, he wouldn't have you put on armor, right?

It's going to weigh you down for no real reason. So he's given us this stuff because there's a real enemy and there's real battle that's coming, and you're definitely going to need that, right? Oh, absolutely. That's just the physical armor that we were talking about, but there's the spiritual armor that he more often than not equips us with when we're there. I mean, when you get into these places that are very dark, you can have a tendency to be blinded by that darkness and lose your mindset on what it is that you're there for. And that's where God steps in and opens your eyes to see the girl in the corner or not notice the five other people that are partaking in other activities that are less than desirable. But he guides you spiritually to those areas that you need to be in when we're either on an operation in a club or a brothel or, in some cases, the border. I mean, that was a whole different spiritual awakening on the border.

We're used to working in those clubs and environments. It's very dark, very loud, and now we're on a border in a very specific country. And it's lit up, but now we're not used to that.

So we're actually looking at people in the daylight that it's a whole different dynamic, and he opens us up to recognize those things. And so we have a young lady with the team. Oh, we didn't get to her yet, but can you imagine the armor?

Well, you've got a second. Tell us a little bit about that. About what it feels like for you to armor up when you've got these other big guys. You know, yeah, I experience the same thing as the guys do. I go on the missions alongside them and do the training alongside them, and yes, I am quite a bit smaller. The funnier experience for me is when the… because the teams in other countries aren't used to seeing a female, so they usually think I'm there for… This is but a taste of the terror that Solomon will unleash.

Ride out and meet him head on. You must fight. I will not risk open war. Open war is upon you.

Whether you would risk it, I'm not. Tell me once again who I am to you, who I am to you. Welcome back to Christian Car Guy radio show today. Open war is upon you, whether you will risk it or not.

We're live from the men's summit here in Kernersville, North Carolina. We remind you that this is your opportunity to call these guys. You've got questions about this.

Maybe you wonder, you know, what they're involved in or something like that. Is this your opportunity to really call and talk to the team or tell your story of when open war was upon you and you didn't see that one coming? 866-348-7884, 866-34-TRUTH is the number to call in, and you know how much I would love to hear from you. And the team would love to hear you from you. It's hard sometimes on radio.

You think you're talking to the air. So it's always great when I get a call. It's very, very encouraging because it's like, man, you know, these people are engaged and they're listening.

So we left our hero Wren with lantern rescue. She was talking about what it's like, you know, we heard from the guys putting on the armor, but here we have a young lady that's going into this third world country. I'm picturing the scene with my own daughter, you know, like, wow, what is that like for you Wren? Yeah, so a lot of times in these countries, when I show up, they're not used to having females in these roles and usually when I show up, they assume I'm some type of like administrative role or I'm just there to watch or whatever. So when it's, when I actually put on my kit and I start rolling with the guys, it's always like this moment for them where they realize what's going on and I'm helping them clear weapons and do all that jazz.

So it's always, that moment's always kind of interesting and entertaining. But mostly when we're in these countries, if anyone's ever been in a leadership role in law enforcement or the military or whatever, you never want to have something that your guys below you don't have. And a lot of times in these countries, they don't have body armor. Our team's the only one with body armor.

So then you're in this dilemma of, do I put this on and be safe or do I meet them where they're at? So we've been really fortunate and it's been really incredible and God's really blessed our journey that last year, a tactical company donated about 12 vests for tactical vests for our team overseas. So we were able to equip them and we've been able, we've been able to equip teams as we move along. But that's definitely a need that we have is we're going into these countries and we as Americans and as our background in law enforcement in the military, we have our own armor, but we're meeting these people that don't. And they're even in light of that, not having armor, they're going into these places where they know there's weapons. And we've done raids and found illegal weapons falling out of the cracks. So these people are doing these missions knowing that they don't have body armor on and there's weapons there.

So it's been great to be able to equip them with it as well and really feel that happen. And you guys talk about a really God story that you're fixing to hear. They recently had this open door in West Africa. And, um, tell us about, you know, Frank and what's going on because I know our listeners are just going to be so encouraged for what God is doing about sex traffic.

Sure, Robbie. In case they're not connected to one of the other shows that we've done, it's a fascinating God story. You know, our team gets a desire to be somewhere either as individuals or as a unit to operate in a certain area. And that happened to us about two and a half, three years ago. And now, lo and behold, we get contacted to come to West Africa from an amazing individual. And we're calling him Frank, who, uh, his family member had lost three children into trafficking. He watched her suffer with a stroke at the age of 30 because of the distraughtness in her life, you know, that she had missed her kids. And he had to do something about it. And so within his country, he started to go to the border to try to intercept kids who were being trafficked, uh, being taken to Muslim tribes, being taken to domestic slavery, being taken forced, bridal situations, sex slavery.

And he was, he was arrested every day for four months. They kept sending him back to his, his, his city saying, you can't do this. Well, after four months, um, the inspector general of that, that nation called him up, had a meeting with him, said, explain yourself, why are you doing this?

And why won't you give up? And he told him why. And they, their response was basically to say, listen, we've never done this, but we're going to put you as a civilian over our borders in the anti-trafficking effort of our country. And so now the very police who arrested him are now working under him, you know? And in fact, his right hand policeman that we met that really, you know, does a lot for the IG's office and him was the guy who arrested him. And, um, you know, he's not paid. So here he now has authority. He's just a well-meaning individual. He's, he's got about seven volunteers who are Christian pastors and other things who are also now going up to the border with him. But he's, he's, uh, he has no money. He has no car.

Okay. The vehicles that he, they're all broke down. You know, any, he hears about us and learns through us, through our network and, and, and also through the UN and he contacts, uh, contacts us. And, you know, long story short, we can't believe he's real.

He can't believe we're real. We show up in country and he tells us the greatest day of my life, you know, and now we understand why this man has suffered trying to do this work. And so Landon Rescue was able to arrive and, and to immediately get to work, make the, he had all the right relationships within the governments. You know, stuff that would have taken us, you know, thousands, tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of dollars in years to develop. It's already developed, you know, and we immediately are able to do what we do.

And that is, you know, Allen is, is an expert of that, that we are able to get 15 to 20 policemen, begin to train them, train that intelligence team and, uh, and immediately put them to work. You know, um, it's just a God thing, an absolute God thing. It's, and you can imagine Frank, right, Wren, like all of a sudden you're praying, you're praying every day, God help me God, because you know, one of the reasons that these kids were, were essentially, you know, taken into slavery is because they were Christians.

And Frank's this phenomenal Christian, you're praying, praying every day, and then all of a sudden you, God starts coming alongside you. He puts you in this position of authority and then, then walks the A team. I don't know if I'd call us the A team, but. Well, if you saw him, he'd go, yeah, that's the A team. Like, man, I, these would be my guys if I was doing that kind of work.

I mean, this would be who I would definitely want to come alongside of me. And you found yourselves right in this position of training, right. And equipping these people almost immediately and, and fruit was just right around the corner. You guys weren't there 48 hours and you were out there working.

Yeah. So the, the training and the missions developed very quickly and, and that's always great to see because they had the passion. We didn't have to instill that passion to rescue victims. They had that, they had all the gas in the world.

They just didn't have a car to put it in. So that was where we came in is they've got this passion and they've got this authority now at the border, and they're already doing these missions the best that they can, the best that they know how, but they're really just trying to stumble their way around and figure it out as they go. So that's where we came in as we did the training and we taught them the tactics and how to do investigations and how to communicate amongst their teammates and, and, you know, start databases on the traffickers and get these arrests happening and get the kids transitioned into aftercare. Yeah, it was really incredible.

It happened quickly. And you go into these countries and there's like, their office is literally sheet metal held together by string. And it's incredible that they even have a cell phone, that they were able to communicate with us and they've been sending us these videos and, and just how we got there is, it's nothing short of a miracle.

Yeah, it really is. And then, but you guys discovered here's a need for financial, right? You came back, Alan, with this need for $50,000, right, to try to get these people the resources in order to not only obviously rescue the people coming across the border, but they've got to arrest the perpetrators. They got to have the training in order to, and the intelligence ability in order to make that happen. Yeah, more often than not, my forte is obviously the training side of the house. And when we go to these countries, we usually run into the organizations we're going to train. They're fairly fit individuals, younger individuals and are of law enforcement background and they're pretty receptive to the tactics and training we give them. In this case, the first group I met that I was supposed to train, and I'll try and relate it to a car perspective, was a broke down 69 Ford Dodge Dart, you know, or whatever. But it was not the high speed Corvette or Mustang.

And I'm not negating these. These people have hearts that are bigger than mine. But one of the persons was basically a grandmother working on the border. She was probably in her mid to late 50s. Another lady was larger in size and she wasn't very agile.

Another guy was about maybe 100 pounds, but he was like 7 foot tall. And so I'm looking at these people going, Goodness gracious, what am I working here with and what can I teach them? So it sounds like the making of a great movie like, yeah, you got to turn them into, you know, well, and that's what I thought going into it. But in reality, their jobs required them a different type of training than what I'm normally giving. So it was more getting into how to defend themselves against an aggressive individual that would not release a victim. So once the Lord opened my eyes to, yeah, you can't teach them how to do a double tap and all that kind of stuff. It was more into the hands on defending themselves and defending the victims and being able to separate the victims from the perpetrators. I know you hate we got to go to a break for this because, you know, we're just getting into it.

I mean, clearly. So when we come back, we got more from Land and Rescue live from the Men's Summit. This is but a taste of the terror that Solomon will unleash.

Ride out and meet him head on. You must fight. I will not risk open war. Open war is upon you.

Whether you would risk it or not. Today on The Christian Car Guys show, we're talking to wonderful folks at Landon Rescue, which their website is Landon Rescue dot o r g. As we were talking about, they were here to raise fifty thousand dollars last night for this team in Atlanta. And they were here to raise fifty thousand dollars last night for this team in Atlanta.

And they will be on the show. At Landon Rescue, which their website is Landon Rescue dot o r g, as we were talking about, they were here to raise fifty thousand dollars last night for this team in Africa that we've been describing. That was the six foot tall, 100 pound man and the grandma. You know, when you see what they actually have done the very first night, there were four rescues. And what did you tell us, Mark, that Frank had felt like during the time he had done this, how many people had been rescued? Well, in making efforts of his own, you know, at first he was being arrested every day and then would go back up. Then when they gave him authority, you know, he went in it the best way he knew.

And they rescued about 500 kids in that year span. And he probably contacted us eight months ago, about eight months ago. So we were early on learning about his efforts, you know, watching him and realizing that he was like, I need help.

I don't know what, you know, completely what we're doing. But one thing he does really well, I will say, is the interrogation investigative part. He's excellent at it. I spent days purposely in with him, watching him interrogate suspect and then gain information from the victims. And we taught them further how to separate and what to do. But, you know, he does a really good job, mostly because of his heart. He's going to pursue it until he gets the truth.

He is going to pursue it until he knows this child, you know, is with someone properly or heading in the right direction. Yeah, that's it. So obviously there's needs for these people that are, you know, needs for equipment, needs for vehicles, needs, you know, for more training and simply a budget. Because when you went there, Mark, right, he was at the end of his rope financially. Yeah.

Yeah. He had no funding and they were volunteering and no vehicles, all of that. So, you know, quickly the Lord provided a vehicle and some motorcycles for them through us initially.

And then a God answered just that happened last night at this event. You know, we presented the work in our work internationally and specifically talked about West Africa. General Boykin shared and spoke, you know, with us. And I explained that that operation to support that intelligence team and the efforts they're doing at the border gas and everything, you know, it's surprisingly not a lot, but it is a lot. It's about $50,000, you know, and that's a tremendous bang on the buck. I mean, for the number of kids that are being rescued, that's tremendous. By the end of the night, they presented us a check last night from this banquet, $60,000. Wow. I mean, how cool is that? So God already had it funded, taken care of, because it was a year and a half ago that they asked that this individual said, hey, I want to do a fundraiser for your team.

I want to do a small banquet, do something, you know, of course, COVID, it got delayed and all that. And then we end up, you know, in Africa, we learn about, you know, what's the budgetary needs of this and then come back and within a month it's already taken care of. That's how God works. Yeah, but obviously they can still use more. So if God is putting it on your heart, it's lanternrescue.org. And what they could really use, every one of the team, Alan, TC, Wren and Mark is your prayers.

I mean, that's a constant need. So Alan and TC will let TC go first because we're switching up mics here, but we had a question from one of the people here at the summit. They're like, do you guys ever sense that angels are among you as you're going into these difficult situations?

Alan had commented on that initially, and I agree with him completely. At the time, you're just doing your job. You're there, you're either working on relationships, you're working on the work that is before you. But afterwards, and we've talked about this in different ways, God is clearly doing the work.

Whether it's making the connections, making the relationships, funding, all of those sorts of things. And Wren has talked about this as well. It's a huge team at this point. But when you look back, you're thinking, there's no way.

There's no way we're that good. This is obviously God taking care of business. So absolutely, 100 percent. So again, back to the angel thing. So one of the teammates was on an operation and they wound up going on a rooftop, I believe, and coming out. And when it was all said and done, there was a guy on behind him with a rifle that could have taken the shot on him at any moment in time. And like we said before, you don't necessarily know that those forces are around you protecting you. But when he looked back and he was like, I could have bought it on that one.

And obviously that was the Lord intervening because he was on a mission and he was going for his objective and the Lord was there protecting his six. I mean, that's some of the stuff we run into. But again, you don't see it at the moment. Looking back, you realize it at that point. So Wren, unfortunately, we start to, as much as we've enjoyed this today, we could go for hours.

But we're running a little short. So what did you want to make sure you got told to the audience out there today? You know, when you were thinking about, gee, I'm going to be on the radio today live for your first time. I remember being live with you guys, but what an honor it is, I'm sure, for all our listeners to see what God's doing and the link with you guys in prayer. But I know this has been on your heart. You know, again, I should tell you, go to lanternrescue.org and you can get podcasts back from the very first episodes where they tell how they got involved in this, what was on their heart.

But what's on your heart right now in this season that you would like our listeners to know? Yeah, so definitely check out the podcast and learn more about our story and what we're doing. But really just, you know, look inside yourself and see if this is a cause that you want to support and keep, you know, this happens overseas and we work overseas and we talk about that a lot. But it does happen here in America too. So make sure you're being vigilant in your children and the people around you's lives and make sure that this isn't happening to someone you know. And it can come in in the weirdest ways, you know, some boy at school that is trying to talk your daughter into being, oh, he's their boyfriend and he's older and whatever. You know, it really seems like not a big deal at the beginning until it is. And, you know, there's a huge prevalence of pornography that we're trying to fight constantly in the world and that really develops human trafficking and sex trafficking and absent fathers and lack of restrictions on phones and all this stuff that you don't think is a big deal and you feel like you're overbearing when you're questioning the boyfriend or you're looking at the phone but you're not.

Like you'd rather do that now and upset him than, you know, a couple years later have to call us to come in and try to help you out. So just make sure that you're staying vigilant in your children's lives and in the people around you and, you know, if you're wrong then you're wrong but if you were right and you didn't say something then, you know, that's something you'll have to live with. Yeah, wow. And actually today at one o'clock the Cure is going to be on with Amy Cabo. She is herself a horrible victim of all sorts of sexual abuse. She's going to have a show on that.

It's going to be live. You can call in on that too where she's actually talking about how you survived because a big part of this, Alan, as you guys know, is yeah, you've got to rescue them but sometimes they don't stay rescued. Yeah, we talked about that at one time, you know, the Lord laid on my heart and I just put this out there for everybody. How often do you have to get rescued? Is it just once? Or is he always coming to rescue you? And if you're like me, he's rescuing me almost every day.

So don't think it's a one and done deal. Yeah, and, you know, again, one of the beauties of what you guys do, Ren, from my perspective, is you're not only rescuing the people that are being trafficked, you're incarcerating the people that are doing the trafficking. Yeah, so prosecution is a huge thing that we're very big about because if you're doing these rescues, and a lot of organizations fall short in this aspect, if you're doing these rescues but you're not arresting the traffickers, tomorrow morning when that trafficker wakes up, he's still going to be selling humans.

He'll just find new victims. So it is very important that the prosecution and the arrests happen of these traffickers. Yeah, and again, I know we're running out of time, so I've got to tell people to slow down because, you know, Jesus walked everywhere he went and got it all done in 33 years, but I wanted you to mention there's a website where people can go, you know, about pornography, and this is one of the biggest, you know, fronts that we're fighting. Yeah, so TraffickingHub.org is where you can go and you can sign petitions and see where they're at and the movement to shut down those pornography sites that are using not only images of children, but also just pornography in general.

It's a snowball that creates a lot more victims than you'd imagine. TraffickingHub.org. Okay, their show, again, is LandonRescue.org. There you can listen to all those wonderful podcasts from the story. Actually, you can hear TC's wife and Alan's wife, Mark's wife, and Wren's friends that help her. One of our generous sponsors here at The Truth Network has come under fire.

Fire from the enemy. Fire for standing up for family values. Actually, one of the biggest supporters of the movie Unplanned that talked about the horrors of abortion. Yes, it's Mike Lindell. You've heard me talk about his pillows for a long, long time, and no doubt big business is responding to Mike Lindell and all this generosity for causes for the kingdom by trying to shut down his business. You can't buy his pillows at Kohl's anymore. You can't get them on Amazon or you can't get them at Costco.

They're attempting to close his business because he stood up for kingdom values. What a chance to respond, especially if you need a pillow. Oh, I've had mine now for years and years and years and still fluffs up as wonderful as ever. Queen size pillows are just $29.98. Be sure and use the promo code TRUTH or call 1-800-944-5396.
