Since this episode dropped, we’ve heard over and over again:
👉 “I hope every single person in Newton County hears this.”
👉 “This is the kind of honest, respectful dialogue we desperately need.”

This isn’t just a podcast—it’s a community call to action.

Two professionals who sit on opposite sides of the courtroom came together for one powerful, respectful, messy middle conversation about how we address teen gun violence.

As parents, teachers, pastors, neighbors, and citizens—we all have a role to play.
