Summary

In today's episode, we sit down with Elliston Berry, a teen whose classmate shared AI-generated nude deepfakes of her and seven other girls, and her mother, Anna, to discuss the events leading up to the now-signed Take It Down Act. Elliston shares her story with us and tells us how she learned of the images and how the student sharing them was eventually caught. She and her mom also tell us about how Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) wrote the Take It Down Act, which passed both the House and the Senate with near-unanimous support. And Anna shares valuable wisdom for parents when facing challenging situations like this one. This episode is brought to you by Olive, the app built for the MAHA movement.

0:00.0	Alison Barry was a 14-year-old who was the victim of an AI deep fake pornographic image of her being
0:10.5	circulated around her high school. Her story is tragic and compelling, but God has used it as a
0:16.9	launch pad for really important legislation that has passed Congress called the Take It
0:22.1	Down Act. Today, we're not only hearing from her and her mom why this legislation is necessary,
0:28.4	but also we're going to set it up with some really important context about what is happening
0:33.5	in the pornography industry right now and how Christians should have view all of this.

1:18.5	that we really understand what's going on. And like we talked about with Andrew Claven earlier this
1:24.2	week, looking at objective evil straight in the eyes is, can be really important
1:30.7	in drawing us towards what is good and right and true. And when we confront the reality of
1:38.4	evil, we can either become paranoid or we can become anxious, we can become fearful ourselves, or we can
1:46.1	be strengthened. We can realize that part of the reason that God has placed us on this earth is to
1:52.3	make the world around us better for his glory and the good of those he has placed in our lives.
