Description

Have you ever thought about what you would have done in the early 1800's to help end slavery? If you're thinking, "I would have fought to end it." Great News! Here's your chance. Slavery (aka Human Trafficking) is more pervasive today than even back during the Transatlantic Slave trade.  So what are you going to do about it?  Today, Tim and Mark sit with Burgess Owens, whose ancestors came out of the slavery of the American South. He discusses the parallels of then and now and challenges us to take action.  Throughout this episode you'll hear music that was used for comfort and strength by the African American slaves during slavery. There are also some songs from the American Civil Rights Era. They were produced especially for the show. So enjoy!

Listen to front-line stories from guys rescuing kidnapped children from sex slavery. Yep, that's a thing. Right now, there are over 2 MILLION children being sold and traded for sex. Timothy Ballard has saved hundreds of children himself. Tim left the Department of Homeland Security to start a non-profit, child rescue team, called Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.). Hear how they do it? It's candid and visceral. It's not explicit, but it's also not recommended for children.
