In this month's podcast, I interview up and coming Christian music artist, Skye Peterson. Skye is a singer-songwriter based in Nashville, TN. Although she has been writing and recording since high school, she began her career as a musician after studying Theology and being inspired by biblical history and hermeneutics. Now writing hymns for Getty Music and the local church, Skye is also performing her own concerts and hoping to tell the world that they are not alone and that there’s a King who’s worth singing about.

If you haven’t already watched the movie “Sound of Freedom” then you really should. The movie circles around the abduction of two kids from a single father in South America who are sold into child sex trafficking and finally rescued by a special agent gone rogue. But not all cases end up like this. Most kids are never rescued! Destiny Rescue is an organization committed to rescuing children sold into child sex trafficking and giving them hope of a better life. How dangerous is it to be involved in such a specialized mission? In this conversation with Michaela Jones, former member of child sex trafficking rescue team at Destiny Rescue, we peel back the reasons why child sex trafficking is the fastest growing international crime network in the world today and Michaela’s first-hand exposure to rescuing kids sold into child sex trafficking. It’s a conversation you don’t want to miss! To find out more on the work of Destiny Rescue and support them go to: https://www.destinyrescue.org.au

The "Black Saturday" bushfires were a series of bushfires that either ignited or were already burning across the Australian state of Victoria on Saturday, 7 February 2009, and were one of Australia's all-time worst bushfire disasters. The fires occurred during extreme bushfire weather conditions and resulted in Australia's highest-ever loss of human life from a bushfire, with 173 fatalities. Over 3500 homes were burned to the ground leaving many people homeless as a result. More than 1 million acres of land were burned up. Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard described Black Saturday as "a tragedy beyond belief, beyond precedent and beyond words … one of the darkest days in Australia’s peacetime history." And at the centre of this disaster was Lyn Gunter, mayor of the Murrindindi council where the bushfires occurred. In this emotional interview that takes us back to the devastation that occurred in the now 15th year anniversary of the tragedy, we discover how Lyn's past prepared her to take on a role of this nature, how she pulled herself together to lead in a time of crisis, and the lessons she learned looking back on the event.
