The Counter Culture Mom Show with Tina Griffin

Becca Spinks is all about safety and empowerment. As a Texas-born firearms and self-defense instructor, she knows a plethora about staying safe. This mindset is what prompted her to do whatever she could to help protect today’s kids by getting involved in research and advocacy surrounding digital safety and stopping online exploitation. Becca has done extensive research into the online harassment and extremist group, 764, which specifically targets children. As a mom herself, she was alarmed to discover that many parents are not aware of the dangers kids are exposed to online, especially on platforms like Discord or Roblox. Online harassment groups are like cults - they are humiliating, destructive, and in some cases, lethal.


TAKEAWAYS


764 is essentially an online harassment and extortion group aimed to force kids to commit suicide


Understand that your kids are smart, and they will find ways around digital barriers - keep communication open


764 members have gone so far as to mail burner phones to kids’ houses


The best safety bet: not allowing young children to participate on platforms where they can talk to strangers

In 1999, a gunman entered Wedgwood Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas, and opened fire. He killed seven people and injured several others. Mary Beth Talley was shot at close range that day and survived. Last year, she published her memoir, which focuses heavily on the aftermath of surviving such a traumatic event: Not Bad, Just Different - Living Life as a Mass Shooting Survivor. Mary shares the story of how things happened that horrific day, and how the Lord has been with her throughout every stage of her healing journey through the PTSD and grief that came in the wake of the terrible incident. You have to be the initiator of the healing process, she says, and the Lord will meet you there.


TAKEAWAYS


The Wedgwood church shooting happened during a ‘See You At the Pole’ event


The gunman killed himself after the shooting, leaving his motivations unknown


Mary’s book isn’t about the shooting as much as it is about life afterwards


Mary says she felt a sense of God-given peace after she had been shot

She is a consultant and the author of several books and explains key methods of preparation and prevention when it comes to school shootings.

Katherine Schweit is the architect of the FBI’s Active Shooter Program. She is the author of Women Who Talk to the Dead: The True Story of 200 Forgotten Murder Victims and the Relentless Pursuit of Justice by an FBI Agent and a Detroit Police Detective. The book tells the story of the exhumation of more than 200 cold case murder victims. Katherine is also the author of the upcoming book, Smart Parents, Safe Schools. She shares her in-depth research and key insights into the signs that may arise before a mass shooting, and how parents can be wise and alert for those red flags. Her best advice? “Believe what you hear,” she says. Kids telegraph what is going on around them. 92 percent of the time, when a shooting has occurred, someone was told before it happened.

Parents must be actively involved in school safety


Four of the last eight school shootings in the U.S. were in private schools

What does mental health look like when it’s centered on God’s love and peace? These are the first lines from Dorcas Cheng-Tozun’s Bible study summary, and they hit home. Dorcas authored a 6-week study that helps Christians see God’s loving presence even in the midst of mental health struggles. She reflects on her own journey with anxiety and depression, pointing readers back to the goodness and sufficiency of the Lord. Dorcas also discusses how important it is to know when you need help and when it’s imperative to lean on community and medical professionals. It’s critical to listen to what our bodies are telling us. God designed us with warning signs. Will we pay attention to what it’s telegraphing?


TAKEAWAYS


Mental health struggles can point us to the goodness and hope of Christ


God is here with us, even when we are hurting and mental health issues may affect some people more than others


There are many examples of real people struggling with depression or fear in the Bible


Regularly engaging in spiritual practices can support our mental health and resilience
