Pushing Back Darkness: The Church’s Role in Ending Exploitation

This week, Sam interviews anti-trafficking advocate Leigh Scarborough in a powerful and eye-opening conversation about how s*x trafficking and online grooming are affecting families right here in Texas and across the U.S. Designed especially for parents, grandparents, and youth leaders, this episode explores the hidden dangers of social media, the emotional manipulation tactics traffickers use, and the red flags every caregiver should recognize.

You’ll also learn practical, faith-filled strategies to create emotional safety and digital accountability in your home, and why a connected child is a protected child.

From the dark web to local communities, Leigh shares firsthand insights from his international work in child protection and why this issue demands a bold and informed response from the church.
