Summary

Southside Tribe! This episode is not theory—it’s reality. Today, we confront one of the darkest and most urgent issues in our world: human trafficking and the online sexual exploitation of children. What many assume happens “somewhere else” is happening right now—and often fueled by a demand much closer to home than we know or like to admit. We’re joined again by former NFL player Mark Herzlich, now working with the International Justice Mission, who breaks down the global scale of this crisis and why awareness is more powerful than we think. We also hear from Cassie, a survivor from the Philippines whose story will stay with you long after this episode ends. Trafficked at just 12 years old, she now uses her voice to fight for those who still can’t speak. This is a conversation about truth, justice, healing—and what it means to stand up for the most vulnerable.
