In this episode of "Voice Up for the Voiceless", we sit down with Alli Neal, the founder of "Revved Up Kids", a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering children, teens, and adults to confront the realities of child sexual abuse prevention. With insight, care, and expert training programs, Alli and her team help kids recognize unsafe people, avoid dangerous situations, and respond effectively if approached by a predator, including self-defense tactics when necessary. Revved Up Kids also provides resources for adults to become vigilant protectors.

Join us as Alli shares how Revved Up Kids is creating safer communities, giving children the tools they need to protect themselves, and fostering informed, supportive adults who can advocate for their safety. Revved Up Kids was founded with a singular purpose: Protect children from sexual abuse, exploitation and trafficking. They accomplish this by providing exceptional sexual abuse prevention training programs for children, teens, parents and youth-serving organizations. Revved Up Kids believes that all children are precious and should be safe from the trauma of sexual abuse. We also believe that it’s everyone’s responsibility to spare children from the trauma of hate, racism and injustice.

On this episode, we hear the heartbreaking yet inspiring story of a father’s unyielding love and resilience. "Every night before bed, Iain would tell Adelle that he loved her to the moon and back," but when she was abducted by a cult, those words took on a deeper meaning. Now, in whatever way God wills, it’s time for the ‘and back.’”

Iain shares his extraordinary journey through the challenges of marriage, fatherhood, time in jail, and his tireless efforts to rescue his daughter from the grip of the cult. His story is a testament to unwavering faith, patience, and a father’s relentless determination to bring his daughter back home

"So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another." ~Romans 12:5

Now empowered and healed, Amber shares her powerful story of transformation, offering hope and inspiration to others who may still be searching for their own path to recovery.

On October 14th, 2009, LaNora was arrested on her third DWI offense and was facing prison time. At that time, she cried out to God, whom she had never known, and asked that He just not take her away from her children. She was released from jail on bond and reported to her probation officer, who invited her to church. And although she went with the sole intention of showing her what a “good person” she was, LaNora accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior on November 1, 2009. Soon after, she began to have dreams and visions of what God wanted her to do to fulfill the plan that He had for her life according to Jer. 29:11. On February 2, 2010, with the help of her husband, Howard, LaNora founded Heaven’s Army, in obedience to the voice of God, but without any idea of where this journey would take her. And with no money, no job, six kids, a mortgage, a car note & all the expenses of life, she leased her first building in April 2010 and opened the doors to the community after God provided the supplies to transform the previously destroyed building into a beautiful community outreach center in East Montgomery County. As Heaven’s Army continued to expand over the next several years into seven locations & 26 different services provided to the broken and hopeless in her community and surrounding area, LaNora began to see the need for a discipleship program for the women in her community. In 2015 Heaven’s Army – Home of Amazing Grace, a minimum 1-year residential women’s discipleship home was founded. This home gives women that have been victims of sex trafficking, domestic violence, sexual abuse, and addictions a safe place to heal and gain the tools to become strong women of God and step into their destiny. “Healing from child sexual abuse is a courageous journey of reclaiming one's sense of self and finding strength in vulnerability. It's about acknowledging the pain, yet refusing to let it define you. It's a process of unraveling the layers of trauma, brick by brick, and embracing the light of resilience within. Through Jesus Christ, the Word of a God, supportive family & friends, Christian counseling and self-care, I have learned to rewrite my narratives, transforming my scars into stories of triumph & VICTORY. Healing is not linear, but with each step forward, I continue to reclaim my life, finding peace in my own resilience and the beauty the of my future. It's been almost 15 years since I broke the silence of abuse and VoicedUp!! I now work with helping others break the silence and regain their purpose, destiny and future. Healing from the past brings HOPE for the future!!”

In this episode Dr. Sam Serio joins us from California and will be talking on the following: “Today's church has sadly failed to minister to men and women deeply affected by porn, abortion, rape, casual sex, a sexless marriage, same-sex attraction, or childhood sexual abuse. Church leaders know these broken people sit in their pews. What they don't know is what to say to them. Those who would speak out directly from the pulpit worry that they will be unwise or insensitive, whatever their intent to the contrary. They may even fear being fired and losing their ministry altogether.

The truth is that seminary curriculums rarely prepare preachers to talk about sex in their sermons. Despite the pervasiveness of sexual wounds in the church, preachers tend to either ignore them and say nothing or abhor them without nuance and condemn. Sam Serio posits a powerful and necessary middle ground: preaching that offers forgiveness, transformation, and restoration.

Sensitive Preaching to the Sexually Hurting is a ready-to-use resource written from a preaching perspective. Serio examines the causes and consequences of the seven most difficult sexual issues of today. Moreover, he provides appropriate wording to use in crafting sermons, along with corresponding Scripture texts. He examines how preachers can prepare their churches, their hearts, and their sermons for the topic, and how these can all work together to build a healthier future for their congregations and the wider church body.” By Dr. Sam Serio
