  • Guarding Our Children in the Digital World: Strategies to Prevent Online Predation and Promote Internet Safety
    May 24 2024

    Unlock the secrets to keeping your children safe online with the guidance of John DiGirolamo, a passionate advocate in the war against human trafficking. As our special guest, John opens our eyes to the unsettling truths that dwell within the digital landscape, where predators prey on the young via platforms many of us consider harmless. Together, we tackle the tough questions and offer an arsenal of knowledge for parents, arming them against the cunning tactics used by those who seek to exploit the innocent.

    This episode takes a hard look at the unsettling trend of teen exposure to pornography, shedding light on the grave consequences this digital danger poses to our youth. With shocking statistics about online extortion and the normalization of explicit content sharing, we break down the psychological toll and legal implications for teens. Our discussion also probes the societal shifts that might be fueling this trend, emphasizing the need for parents to step in with awareness and decisive action.

    As we navigate through these challenging waters, we emphasize the importance of creating a safe space for children to grow and learn. We offer practical advice for parents on monitoring their children's internet use, initiating critical conversations about online hazards, and fostering a strong family and faith community. By the end of our conversation, you'll know where to find further resources, including John's insightful books on Amazon, to help secure your child's online experience and foster a deeper understanding of internet safety within your home.

  • Beyond Death's Doorstep with John Burke
    May 17 2024

    Embark on an unparalleled exploration of the afterlife with pastor and best-selling author John Burke as we traverse the mystifying realm of near-death experiences (NDEs). Prepare to have your understanding of heaven and eternity challenged as John, once an agnostic engineer, shares personal insights from his spiritual journey and investigates NDEs through the lens of biblical teachings. Our conversation sweeps across the globe, breathing life into stories of people from various faiths who've glimpsed beyond the veil, and the transformative impact these experiences had on their beliefs.

    Witness the universal themes of divine light and redemption through the compelling accounts of individuals whose NDEs transcended their cultural and religious backgrounds. From a Hindu man's confrontation with a Christian heaven to a Muslim Imam's hellish encounter that steered him towards new faith, these narratives are a testament to the life-altering visions that shake the very foundations of our preconceived notions of the afterlife. These stories not only stir the soul but also ignite a discussion on the evidence that suggests our consciousness may extend beyond the grasp of death.

    As we wrap up our enlightening discussion, we zero in on verifiable observations from those who've brushed with the afterlife, sharing insights that defy scientific explanation. Blind individuals seeing for the first time during NDEs, precise descriptions of the material world from the brink of death, and a soccer team's profound interaction with faith and the gospel – these examples compel us to consider the possibility of a reality beyond our current understanding. Join us as we engage with these profound encounters, urging both skeptics and believers alike to reflect on their spirituality with a renewed curiosity and an open heart.
