*Notice* This episode contains sensative information on one Christian's work with former gang members and victims of human trafficking.
Chris Baker has removed or covered over 4,000 tattoos for former gang members and victims of human trafficking. His work to give people a fresh start has been covered everywhere from Buzzfeed to the Chicago Tribune.
Growing up in Los Angeles, Chris Baker was what police referred to as a "known associate." He wasn't a gang member himself, but could be found in the vicinity of the criminal underworld. After a good friend was killed in a drive by shooting, Chris and his family moved to Chicago, in search of a more peaceful life of opportunity.
Although Chris had some experience with church growing up, he didn't truly meet Jesus until adulthood. When he was searching for his calling, God showed him it was already in his hand--a tattoo gun.
This is an episode about removing the physical reminders of past trauma, but it's also about listening to God's call, and staying strong in your own faith and as a family when faced with massive obstacles to overcome.
Finally, Chris shares some vital wisdom about keeping your children safe in the digital age.

Comedian Tracy DeGraaf's five boys have been to the emergency room a total of 21 times.
For years, Tracy was barely able to keep her head above water, holding together a household with five young children.
Then, when she turned 40, Tracy looked at a picure of her late mother, who had passed away at 52, and realized she had to get going on her own dream.
This is a conversation about joy and hilarity mixed with pain and frustration, laugh-out-loud moments interspersed with two cancer diagnosises.
And ultimately, this episode is about practical tips to find the joy and thankfulness to God in every circumstance.

Normally, couples seek out therapy during a rough spot in their relationship.
But what if you could sit down and ask a therapist how to have an even stronger marriage? That's exactly what we do in this episode with Dr. Karen Cassiday, Chicago therapist and former TV Host for Animal Planet (really!)
In this episode you'll learn:
--why both strong and rocky marriages have the same amount of conflict, and what the strong couples do differently.
--why you should "treat your spouse like your favorite dog." (Karen's words!)
--why healthy friendships are absolutely essential for a strong marriage.
--the research behind the "20 to 1" positive to negative ratio.

Depending on what stage of parenting you're in, the questions kids ask can range from repetitively maddening ("my four year old has asked how the dishwasher works 4 million times!) to "I would have never thought to ask my parents that at 10."

We also dive into how to handle tough questions kids are asking about everything from the Bible to changes in modern society.
Finally, we look at how to examine the information available to even young children via TV and YouTube.
