    What Is the UK Grooming Gang Scandal They Don’t Want You to Know About?

    In this episode of In God We Trusted, Sam and Will examine the UK grooming gang scandal: tracing the history from the 2012 Rochdale convictions through multiple government inquiries that confirmed widespread child sexual exploitation across at least 149 British towns. They explore how political correctness and fear of being labeled racist led officials to suppress evidence, dismiss victims, and allow predators to operate freely for decades. They discuss the Jay Report's finding of 1,400 victims in Rotherham alone, the 2022 inquiry confirming the problem was systemic and nationwide, and the 2026 Lowe Report estimating over 250,000 victims. This episode explains why this matters for America as a cautionary tale about unchecked immigration policies and silenced speech. Using Psalm 82, Matthew 18, Proverbs 24, Romans 13, and other passages, they lay out a biblical framework for how Christians are called to defend the vulnerable and hold governments accountable. Whether you are hearing about this issue for the first time or want to know how to respond with courage, this episode equips you to understand the facts and take a stand.

    Why Did So Many Civilizations Sacrifice Their Children?

    In this episode of In God We Trusted, Will and Sam explore the disturbing history of child sacrifice across every continent and century, from the Canaanites and Romans to the Aztecs and beyond. They examine what Genesis 22 teaches about how the God of the Bible is fundamentally different from the false gods that demanded child sacrifice. The Bible repeatedly calls God's people to choose life over death, and wherever Christianity has spread throughout history, these horrific practices have been abolished. The episode also addresses abortion as a modern form of child sacrifice and why the gospel remains the only proven solution to ending it. Whether you are new to the Bible or exploring the Christian faith, this episode will challenge you to understand why God values every human life and what that means for us today.
