  • Criminals, Perpetrators and Victims: A Psychologists Experience | George Karkanis
    May 5 2026

    Gordon interviews George Karkanis, an Athens-based forensic psychologist, psychotherapist, and behavioral analyst, who explains forensic psychology as the study and legal-application of psychology in criminal contexts (offenders, victims, investigations, trials, and reports). George describes transitioning from IT to forensic psychology through counter-trafficking ministry, choosing a role that supports trafficked women without being their therapist, helping them “redefine” men as trustworthy through safe relationships. He discusses psychology as science plus art, emphasizing skillful, adaptive practice beyond rigid protocols, and describes behavior analysis including micro-expressions and communication cues. George shares his special forces paratrooper service and how it built resilience and innovative thinking. He also works with offenders, integrating faith and identity change, and trains Eastern European police and prosecutors on vicarious trauma, proposing four pillars for healing: identity, intimacy, cognition, and emotion.

  • Confronted by My Mortality: My Life as a Supreme Court Judge | Mike Chibita
    Apr 28 2026

    Ugandan Supreme Court Justice Mike Chibita discusses his roles as a Supreme Court justice since early 2020 and as Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) from 2013–2020, explaining Uganda’s criminal justice system, appeals process, and the Supreme Court’s caseload. He describes learning about victims’ rights during a visit to Adelaide through Advocates International, leading him to create a victims’ rights desk, encourage prosecutors to engage victims beyond evidence, and build partnerships with groups such as Children at Risk Network and Viva International. Chibita contrasts the Supreme Court with the DPP’s extensive constitutional powers, intense media scrutiny, and life-threatening terrorism cases, including the killing of prosecutor Joan Kagezi, and recounts coping through prayer and family support. He reflects on humble beginnings, discipline learned at King’s College Budo, COVID-era court adaptations, observations about mortality, and his books “Loved by the Best” and “Leaders Grieve Last.”

  • Coerced Into Prostitution – but Jesus Heard My Prayers | Ilona Miler
    Apr 21 2026

    In an interview about her book, "A Woman of Many Names: My Journey From Sexual Exploitation to Freedom," Ilona Miler explains that returning to Jesus motivates her to share her past so God can make a triumph from it and give hope to exploited women. She recounts being trafficked by a “lover boy” who isolated and manipulated her into prostitution, her suicidal despair and a providential encounter that kept her alive, being forced to work through pregnancy and giving up her baby for adoption. Decades later, after praying and “putting it in God’s hands,” she found her daughter in 2019 via an online search linked to a restaurant, reuniting with her family and learning she has four great-grandchildren. Miler also describes childhood trauma with a rage-filled grandfather, being stabbed by a client in Marseille, her escape from her pimp, and later ministry with drug-addicted and prostituted women in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Vienna.
