In this episode of Behind The Mike Podcast, host Mike Stone welcomes back author and advocate John DiGirolamo to dive deep into the dangers of online predators and the growing issue of teen sexting.

Drawing from real-life stories featured in John’s latest book, "It's Not About the Devil", this episode explores the alarming tactics predators use to exploit vulnerable teens and the devastating impact it has on their lives.

Learn how David Gomez, a middle school officer’s shocking discovery of teen sexting opened the door to a larger, more sinister problem involving online predators. John discusses the real risks, the psychological impact on teens, and why every parent needs to be aware of how quickly predators can strike—even within 24 hours.

John’s new book tackles critical issues like human trafficking, online exploitation, and spiritual warfare, focusing on three powerful true stories: an undercover officer posing as a 13-year-old girl, an abortion doctor turned pro-life advocate, and an insider’s look at exorcisms.

Don’t miss this eye-opening conversation about the real-world tactics of predators, the influence of media on our teens, and what parents can do to protect their children in today’s digital world.
