We had to cancel TGIF due to John's request for an interview on LIVE Now from FOX.
Since we had plans to do a live show tonight before this aired, we did a recorded show afterwards. I'll share it in the next post.

"LOS ANGELES (AP) — A California surfing school owner was charged last Wednesday with killing his two young children with a spear gun in Mexico because he believed they would become monsters, authorities said."
This case caught our attention and hearts, and we want to address it. It breaks our hearts that these two precious children lost their lives. We see many similarities in the Dayb...

There is a difference between a sex offender ASSESSMENT, a...
