  • Them Before Us Podcast #095 | Defending Pro-Life Speech at the U.S. Supreme Court
    Nov 28 2025

    In this episode, Jenn talks with Aimee Huber of First Choice Women’s Resource Centers and ADF attorney Gabriella McIntyre about how the New Jersey Attorney General has used his power to target a pro-life ministry that has never had a single complaint.

    First Choice has spent decades walking with women in their most vulnerable moments by offering real support, real resources, and real hope at no cost. Now the state is demanding years of private records, including donor names and addresses, while partnering with Planned Parenthood to undermine the work of those who actually help moms choose life.

    We look at what this kind of government intimidation means for women, for children, and for every nonprofit that depends on donor privacy and freedom from retaliation. And we talk about why ADF is taking this case to the Supreme Court to protect the rights of groups who refuse to bend to political pressure.

  • Them Before Us Podcast #094 | How to Defend Young Minds
    Nov 21 2025

    The industry that promotes illicit sexual behavior targets children because it wants life-long customers. The reality is that it’s not a matter of if your kids will see pornography but when. This should not scare parents. It’s a chance to get prepared and to help your children be ready when the moment comes.

    Kristen A. Jenson is the founder of Defend Young Minds® and the #1 bestselling author of Good Pictures, Bad Pictures.

    Good Pictures, Bad Pictures and Good Pictures, Bad Pictures Jr. are read-aloud books that teach young children how to reject pornography. Her books have been translated into more than a dozen languages and are supported by the Guidebook for Counseling Kids, which helps child therapists and educators. Kristen and her team have also created many resources for families, including the Brain Defense Digital Safety curriculum, downloadable guides, and timely articles that help parents raise confident, resilient, and screen-smart kids.
