Have you ever felt your impact was greater than what the numbers showed? We've made a surprising discovery at Voices for Voices® that completely transformed our understanding of audience reach and impact measurement.

As we built this organization from humble beginnings – literally starting in a living room like so many ventures do – we meticulously tracked our analytics across platforms. The numbers told us one story, sometimes encouraging, sometimes disheartening. But recently, we uncovered something remarkable: a substantial portion of our audience exists completely outside traditional tracking methods.

Through various conversations and feedback channels, we've learned that many individuals, organizations, governments, and even military entities access our content through private servers, dark web connections, and incognito browsing. These viewers and listeners engage deeply with our material but leave no digital footprint in our analytics. This revelation has been both humbling and profoundly encouraging as we pursue our mission of helping 3 billion people across the globe.

This discovery parallels an important life lesson: visible metrics never tell the complete story of our impact. Just as there are aspects of faith that remain mysterious yet powerfully real, our influence often extends far beyond what can be measured. Whether we ultimately reach billions or just a handful of people who needed to hear our message, we're committed to using our voice for good and helping others find theirs.

If you're consuming our content – whether we can see you in our analytics or not – thank you for joining us on this journey. Your support fuels our mission, and we're grateful for every minute you spend with us. Subscribe, share with others, and become part of our growing community that's making a difference in ways both seen and unseen.

We've discovered our audience extends far beyond what our analytics show, with many followers using private servers and incognito browsing that can't be tracked through traditional metrics. This revelation has renewed our faith in our mission and goals, even when visible numbers don't always reflect our true impact.

• Our organization has a goal of reaching and helping 3 billion people over time
• Numbers are everywhere in our daily lives and influence how we measure success
• We recently learned about "invisible" audiences using private servers to access our content
• These private viewers include individuals, organizations, governments, and military entities
• This discovery has fundamentally changed how we view our impact and success
• Organizations must adapt and change to remain relevant and successful
• There are parallels between unseen audience metrics and faith in things we cannot see
• Our renewed understanding has strengthened our commitment to our mission

From the first spark of inspiration to the final draft, the creative journey demands both passion and persistence. Eve Bloor, sister of previous guest Gabriel Bloor, joins us to share her remarkable 12-year odyssey writing her first sci-fi novel while developing her skills as a self-taught illustrator.

"Don't worry about the process," Eve advises aspiring creators struggling with perfectionism. She candidly reveals how her own perfectionist tendencies nearly prevented her from completing her work, leading to an astonishing 27 drafts before completion. Her story resonates with anyone who has ever felt their creative efforts weren't "good enough." The breakthrough came when she learned to focus on story flow rather than technical flawlessness—a lesson that transformed her approach to both writing and illustration.

Eve's unique perspective bridges multiple worlds: her counseling education informs her character development, while her faith grounds her creative choices. She describes herself as "cruel to my characters," explaining that meaningful growth requires significant challenges—both in fiction and real life. This philosophy extends to her illustration work, where she applies principles of geometry and anatomy to create authentic representations that honor what she sees as divinely created beauty.

What sets Eve apart is her commitment to authentic expression. Whether discussing her preference for traditional art materials (feeling the texture of the paper matters!) or her insistence on incorporating genuine human emotions like grief into her stories, she demonstrates how creative work becomes powerful when it reflects genuine conviction. As she puts it, "Real beauty is soul deep."

Reach out to Eve at evebloor@outlook.com or find her on Discord as Evelyn Inkwell to join her writing group or commission her artwork. Her journey reminds us that the most meaningful creative expressions often come through perseverance and staying true to your unique vision.

The dark web of human trafficking reaches deeper into our society than most dare to acknowledge. When survivor David Solomon attempted to share his harrowing experience of being trafficked in 2012, he encountered not justice, but a coordinated effort to silence him at every turn. Missing police reports, buried medical evidence, and threats from his captor Bryan Davis have created a wall of suppression that has stood for thirteen years.

This episode tackles the disturbing connection between David's case and the disappearance of Sebastian Rogers, an autistic child who went missing near where Davis resides in Tennessee. A pattern emerges showing how traffickers target vulnerable individuals with disabilities, exploiting their reduced capacity to call for help. Rather than investigating these connections, authorities have allowed harassment campaigns against survivors who speak out, including cyberstalking, doxxing, and threats.

We explore the systemic cancellation of David's professional opportunities—several book contracts and movie deals mysteriously dissolved whenever he attempted to tell his story. This level of interference suggests powerful connections working against survivors. The recent small victory of David finally receiving writing credit for his work on Smallville after more than a decade offers a glimmer of hope that the wall of silence may be beginning to crack.

As advocates for trafficking survivors, we stand firm on the truth that "nothing is hidden that won't be exposed." We call upon authorities to resurrect the buried evidence, investigate these serious allegations, and prioritize the safety of survivors rather than the comfort of perpetrators. Join our mission to ensure that no voice remains silenced and no survivor must face the battle for justice alone.

Justin Alan Hayes exposes the troubling cover-up surrounding David Solomon, a human trafficking survivor whose reports have been systematically buried for 13 years. Through detailed examination, the podcast reveals the connections between government agencies, traffickers, and the disturbing pattern of silencing survivors who attempt to share their stories.

We plead with the current administration to investigate these cases, resurrect the buried reports, and bring justice to all human trafficking survivors who have been silenced.

Tina Swithin shares her harrowing six-year battle to protect her daughters through a broken family court system that repeatedly failed to recognize the danger they faced. From fleeing to a women's shelter to creating a global advocacy movement, her story reveals how determination and documentation ultimately helped her succeed where most parents cannot.

• Represented herself in court without financial resources for an attorney
• Faced victim-blaming from judges who dismissed her legitimate concerns
• Created One Mom's Battle blog that exploded to 40,000 readers overnight after Christy Brinkley mentioned it
• Discovered family courts function as profit centers where prolonged litigation benefits professionals
• Exposes unregulated "reunification treatments" costing up to $40,000 for four days
• Documents how judges ordering these treatments create financial incentives in a system lacking oversight
• Continues advocacy despite receiving death threats requiring home security measures
• Runs global chapters of One Mom's Battle to expose court corruption while giving voice to silenced parents

The veil between trusted mentorship and predatory manipulation is thinner than most parents realize. In this powerful and emotionally raw conversation, returning guest David Solomon shares his deeply personal journey from being an 11-year-old fan of Christian fantasy author Bryan Allen Davis to becoming a victim of human trafficking allegedly orchestrated by the very man whose books once brought him closer to God.

David's testimony strikes a devastating contrast—how Davis's "Dragons in Our Midst" series initially saved him from suicidal thoughts and strengthened his faith, only for the author to allegedly exploit that trust through private messages introducing sexual topics to the young boy. The turning point came during David's most vulnerable moment, when his mother received a terminal cancer diagnosis and Davis allegedly arranged for David's trafficking, leading to 12 years of trauma.

The urgency of this conversation centers on Davis's upcoming book "Sacred Scales," targeting 8-9 year old readers. David's voice breaks as he connects this marketing strategy to attempted contact with his own young son, revealing how predators maintain access to potential victims through their creative work. More disturbing still is how Davis allegedly continues to harass survivors after they escape, contacting their doctors, banks, attorneys and family members to disrupt their attempts at rebuilding their lives.

This episode serves as both testimony and warning. It illuminates how predators can weaponize spiritual authority, teaching children to distrust parents and positioning themselves as morally superior. For parents, conference organizers, churches, and homeschool groups, the message is clear: vigilance is essential when someone seeks private communication with your children, regardless of their reputation or the apparent value of their creative work. The devastation in David's voice when he asks, "How can someone who loves God so much hurt God's children so much?" echoes long after the episode ends.

Rabbi Michael Steven Ross takes us on a deeply personal journey through the challenging landscape faced by Jewish communities today. Since the 2018 Pittsburgh Synagogue shooting, anti-Semitism has become an inescapable part of daily Jewish life, with police officers now stationed at synagogues and schools. "What we are communicating to our children is you're not safe unless a police officer welcomes you into your house of worship," Rabbi Michael explains, revealing the hidden cost of this new normal.

Following the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war, Rabbi Michael found himself transformed as a spiritual leader. Where he once relied primarily on scholarly wisdom, he discovered the power of leading through "compassion informed by wisdom." This shift came with the development of a vital morning practice—alternating between meditation, nature immersion through cycling, and community prayer—that created the internal spaciousness needed to serve others effectively while processing his own reactions to traumatic events.

After visiting Israel during the conflict, Rabbi Michael returned carrying what he calls "two cups"—one overflowing with joy in connection to loved ones, the other overflowing with tears for all suffering. This profound metaphor captures the complex emotional reality many face during crisis. His four-part meditation practice, focusing on body, emotions, thoughts, and soul, offers practical wisdom for anyone navigating difficult circumstances.

The conversation takes an important turn to campus life, where Jewish students face heightened anti-Semitism and the painful dissolution of interfaith relationships built over years. Through it all, Rabbi Michael emphasizes community as our "Noah's Ark" during storms, and the power of daily gratitude practices to avoid being swept away by chaos. "We might need to be aware of the news stories unfolding," he reflects, "but we get to choose when we want to be engaged with that conversation." In this wisdom lies a template for resilience that transcends any particular faith tradition.

What happens when a Christian author tackles subjects that faith-based fiction traditionally avoids? Donatello RS is charting new territory in dark fantasy with a refreshing perspective on vampires, werewolves, and the supernatural realm.

Stepping away from both the romanticized, non-threatening vampires of mainstream fiction and the purely demonic interpretations common in Christian circles, Donatello reimagines these creatures as "magistrates ruling in the king of demons' stead" – officials governing territories on behalf of their dark master. This innovative approach forms the foundation of his novella "Silver Lining," which follows a knight in silver armor questing to slay a vampire dwelling in a mountain castle.

The conversation takes us deep into Donatello's creative process, which begins with prayer and scripture before writing. "God's the master author and overall creator," he explains, describing how divine inspiration guides his storytelling. This spiritual foundation helps him avoid comparing his work to fantasy giants like Tolkien or C.S. Lewis, focusing instead on the unique vision God has given him.

We also get a glimpse into his upcoming novel "The Legends of Celestial," about an author who completes his fantasy novel only to be sucked into its pages – a concept that flips the premise of "Inkheart" and shows remarkable commercial potential. Throughout the discussion, Donatello emphasizes the importance of obedience to divine guidance in creative work, sharing how his faith shapes every aspect of his storytelling.
