Tonight's special guest is Al Perry who is a husband, father, and friend living in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His life is filled with family, joy, and a touch of chaos, a backyard basketball net, five bikes in the shed, and a badass minivan in the driveway. He is a business owner, a leader in his field, and a passionate volunteer for causes close to his heart.But that's only part of his story. He is also one of the one in six men who have experienced sexual abuse. He survived seven years of childhood molestation.For years, He buried this truth and built a good life, quietly carrying the weight of pain and struggle on an island alone.Twelve years ago, his world began to unravel when his eldest daughter turned six, the same age he was when his abuse began. Her innocence forced him to confront the magnitude of what he'd lost. Overwhelmed with fear, sorrow, and anger, he realized he had to fight, not just for her, but for himself too.Through therapy, reflection, and hard work, he has learned to embrace the journey. His daughter became his bridge to healing, helping him rediscover his worth and purpose. Facing his trauma head-on has made him stronger, and each day he strives to grow one percent better.Today, he mentors men and women with similar stories, helping them find hope and reclaim their light. His mission is to end the cycle of abuse, protect future generations, and empower survivors to heal and thrive.He has turned his pain into purpose and his struggle into strength. He is The Sunrise Warrior, and his light will never be extinguished.#Resilience #Survivor #Hope #SunriseWarrioraka The Sunrise WarriorTheSunriseWarriorSocial@gmail.comWebsite: https://thesunrisewarrior.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/18STHRQj6G/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/1sunrisewarrior?igsh=MTl6MWl2anI3NzhnOQ==X (Twitter): https://x.com/1SunriseWarrior?t=N0qMrMKXQKXW7AnaS9TTlA&s=09Blog: https://thesunrisewarrior.com/blog/

Tonight’s special guest is Jade Brown from Georgia. Jade’s first childhood trauma began when she was 3 years old. They had a friend of the family, whom her mother knew and trusted, and would take her to the babysitters and sexually traumatize her. She would cry and be in shock until she was 7 years old. She thought it was normal. Jade’s next childhood trauma was in her preteens by someone who she called a cousin because both of their mothers were great friends. He used to babysit her and when they were alone, he made her give him oral sex, he urinated in her mouth and said if you told, he would hurt her mom. So, she suffered in silence. It was a horrible experience. Life has been overwhelming, and mentally exhausting, she’s been through several therapists with a temporary fix. It has affected all her relationships but today, at present, she’s seeing a therapist through EAP with her job for healing and other outside services. She has been with the National Alliance On Mental Illness (NAMI) for 25 years. She started back home with NAMI Philadelphia, NAMI Sacramento, NAMI San Francisco, NAMI Atlanta /Auburn.

Tonight’s special guest is Kristin Melissa, from Orange County, California. Now, at 52, she is finally brave enough to tell her story. She has an international presence. Kristin values reaching the forgotten victims focusing on one-on-one tailor-made advocacy. She challenges herself to come in the name of love while endeavoring not to be a hypocrite through the wisdom of the golden rule, “what would I have wanted someone to do for me.” Bill, the founder of A.S.C.A. built this platform on the foundation of the golden rule. Kristin endeavors to bear the burden of the brokenhearted by developing and distributing healing resources. Kristin will never stop believing in a good gift gift-giving heavenly father written about by an ancient prophet named James. “Every Good Gift and Every Perfect Gift comes down from the father of lies. With him, there is not a change or even a shadow of change. (James 1:17 N.T.) Kristin also believes strongly in celebrating important victories and milestones.. Divine Interventions are now commonplace against the predatory makers. Kristin is becoming trained and skilled to lament as a retired hospice chaplain. And also in Holy Humor and sacred satire. She knows that “God mocks”. Kristin is seeing, hearing, tasting, and telling of all the “God Winks.” Fears are being conquered, and confidence in the truth of the reciprocity law is restored. Kristin would like to say thanks in a tribute to all the genuinely loving family members like her husband of 33 years, Matt Opper, and his amazing gram Nellie Ann Opper of the King of Opper Family Trust for choosing her. Kristin is forever grateful for the gift of true prayer warrior friends. ~ Everyone is invited to engage in tonight's show.

Tonight’s special guest is Kim Bergman from Kansas, and she is a survivor of child sexual abuse by her gymnastics coach. The abuse she endured had a profound impact on her life, relationships, and future career as a social worker in child welfare and legislative advocacy. Child protective services substantiated her abuse, but the District Attorney didn't press charges. He continued working with children until he was arrested 10 years later. Kim attempted to help, but information from her forensic interview or police file could be used due to the statute of limitations. In 2018 she joined the national lawsuit against USA Gymnastics. While lawsuits may compensate victims for damages, they more importantly force organizations to create changes to keep kids safe. Joining the lawsuit helped to find her voice and become a voice for others. After years of keeping quiet about her abuse, she decided to go public after she was contacted by a local reporter. She began telling her story on the news and became a member of the RAINN Speakers Bureau. She works with a group of survivors to remove the statute of limitations in Kansas and is one of the co-organizers of Protecting KS Children from Sexual Predators. In 2023, they passed a bill that removed the criminal statute of limitations for child sexual abuse and extended the civil statute of limitations which allows more time for survivors to file a civil lawsuit against their abuser. They work locally and nationally to educate about child sexual abuse in communities, safety tips for families, and the need for statute of limitations reform.
