Ep. 338 - Forced Into Prostitution at Eleven, BJ Garret Left Sex Industry and Chose Jesus

January 31, 2023 • Tina Griffin

BJ Garrett was just 11-years-old when her mother started prostituting her to help pay the bills. Sadly, this horrific abuse had started many years earlier with her father. What ensued was a childhood filled with sexual abuse, unplanned pregnancies, two abortions, and almost a decade of working in the sex industry as a stripper and prostitute. Thankfully, BJ found the redeeming love of Jesus Christ after being invited to church by a Christian couple she worked for. Today, BJ is a speaker, author, and on fire for the Lord, while sharing her testimony to many hurting people. She talks about surviving her childhood and the difficulties of toughing it out through the troubled times of single motherhood. She also identifies some red flags to look for when it comes to identifying sexual abuse in the home.

TAKEAWAYS

BJ describes Christ’s forgiveness as being the complete absence of hatred in her life: hatred of self, others, and of the world

No matter what you’ve done or what’s been done to you, that is not your identity and there is hope and healing in Jesus Christ

If you think someone is hurting your child or your neighbor’s child, you have a duty to protect that little one

Ep. 594 - Four-Step Strategy to Secure Your Savings From Coming Economic Collapse - David Stockman

April 23, 2024 • Tina Griffin

The United States is on the brink of an economic collapse, and David Stockman, an equity investor and author, predicts that it will be a “reckoning” that will rock the nation with a meltdown that hasn’t been seen in decades. “The Fed is finally out of dry powder,” he shares, referring to the attempts of the Federal Reserve System to keep things artificially stabilized. David talks about the pros and cons of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, but more importantly, he discusses how Americans can wisely prepare for the coming economic devastation. He recommends doing four major things: pay off your debt, pocket your profits (like stocks), put those profits into securities like cash, and invest in financial insurance, like gold. “I think gold still remains a fundamental asset that everyone should have,” he says. TAKEAWAYS Gold is ultimately the final form of money in this world, even amidst a collapse Find properties that bring you residual income - buy them with as little debt as possible In a potential collapse, people will lose their homes, and there will be a higher demand for rental properties Central bank money is fiat money and it can be manipulated 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE NRB Recap video: https://vimeo.com/917591058 NRB 2025 Conference: https://nrbconvention.org/ Good Ranchers (get $30 off your first box with code TINA): https://www.goodranchers.com/http://www.goodranchers.com The Great Money Bubble book: https://amzn.to/4az9idm 🔗 CONNECT WITH DAVID STOCKMAN Website: https://www.davidstockmanscontracorner.com/http://www.davidstockmanscontracorner.com X: https://twitter.com/da_stockman 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY TUVU: (sign up for free 30-day trial): https://www.tuvu.com/free-trial?field-3=counterculturemom Patriot Mobile (use code TINA for free activation): https://www.patriotmobile.com/ccmom/http://www.patriotmobile.com/ccmom Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/counterculturemom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/fpmccmshow 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageccm 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2023 Recap & 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/ccm23impactreport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/
