Child sexual abuse material (CSAM), which is legally known as child pornography, is a global pandemic.

Unfortunately, the United States remains one of the largest producers and consumers of child abuse content in the world.

Today on the Strong By Design podcast we are honored to have Bryan Weight from Operation Light Shine. Their main purpose is to create, fund, develop and equip INTERCEPT Task Forces that are working tirelessly to rid the country of child exploitation material, child sexual abuse and human trafficking.

In recent years this mission has gained some traction with advocates like Tim Tebow and movies like Sound of Freedom to help put the spotlight on a very real and disturbing truth. Sexual predators are out their and we all need to stand vigilantly to protect our children.

We thank Bryan, his father Jack and his entire OLS team for their strength, boldness, and willingness to fight for our children.

Matthew 5:16 reads, “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

Operation Light Shine plea…

Help shine a light of hope into the dark underworld of human trafficking and child sexual exploitation.

Self-Evident Ministries is dedicated to seeing all Americans understand the foundation of our nation and to understand that those rights come from God.

Today on the Strong By Design podcast, coach Chris Wilson speaks with Chief Operations Officer Mike Sonneveldt from Self-Evident Ministries. Mike is a national speaker, author, and co-host of the Self-Evident podcast.

Find out the vision and mission of Self-Evident which ultimately points back to having a healthy relationship with our Creator. If there is no standard beyond what we as the people determine it to be, then it is just simply our opinion.

But our nation, that was founded in 1776, was rooted in God’s ‘self-evident’ Truth.

If we are to be ‘One nation under God’ like the pledge of allegiance says, then we must look to the Word of God for the blueprint to get there… and over the last 100+ years, the erosion of God in our culture has proven to be catastrophic as we move further away from the Truth.

From theSelfEvidentTruth.com…

The name Self-Evident was chosen because as it states in the Declaration of Independence, freedom for all and freedoms coming from our Creator are truths that do not need to be proven or reasoned. Meaning it is truly “self-evident.”

"If you stand on conviction, have integrity, follow the lord in obedience, (and) are willing to say yes to what the Lord has for you... the Sky is the limit for where the Lord can lead you." — Mike Sonneveldt
