THAT PRAYER AT THE END THOUGH 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿

[@crystal-childofgod1421]

Amen! Thank you Jesus! All Glory to God!

So radically loving. So incredible. That’s why I’m here. I’ve never heard of this guy, but now he’s my favorite NBA player.

[@joel-oquendo]

Here from the PBD podcast, amazing interview and beautiful prayer at the end. Thank you for bringing light to this!

[@myownboss1]

Me too! I just watched the PBD replay and his clip of the prayer brought me to near tears!

[@4thfugee]

same here. it is really beneficial when other podcast can highlight stories like these and the pray at the end is a great reminder that we should always ask people if they need prayer.

Michael, thanks for using your platform as a professional athlete to bring light to this issue. Thanks Kat for your courage to share! May God continue to use you both.

This interview genuinely opened my heart to someone who is clearly been through so much. Kat, I hope you know that what you said in this was tough to hear but so powerful for me. I wish you all the best things in life and the safety and love in a relationship you definitely deserve.

[@TheHawk1811]

Also heard about you from PBD podcast. I’m glad he did! I appreciate what you do. I’m looking forward to watching more of your content.

[@ally7deto192]

I watched Kat on SWU and her story really broke my heart. Don’t get me wrong, all of the ST stories are heartbreaking, but for some reason I really felt her vulnerability, pain, and shame. I have been praying for Kat ever since. I too believe God has a plan and a purpose for her life, but more importantly God has complete healing, blessings, restoration , and hope for her future.

[@yahrishavers]

The prayer was so heartfelt, so warm, so fitting, so beautiful 🥹

[@smartguy763]

This Lady is an angel. God bless her and continue to transform her.

[@embubbacakes]

Thank you for loving this young lady and caring about her story to get out. The prayer at the end was so special. We need more Godly men will to love and serve those who are hurting.

[@mwilson0404]

This was an AMAZING episode. Only second one of yours that I have watch (AG the first). Lots of respect for you my man. I have a daughter, a few sisters and MANY nieces that I will share this with as well as my brother and nephews who have daughters. May the Lord continue to bless this brave young lady and continue to give her strength to continue her crusade. 🙏🏾

[@joeycletito]

First time on this podcast. This was so good and she is such a brave young woman. We need to continue to shine the light on human trafficking.

[@khushmanbrar4669]

I’m not even religious but the prayer at the end was beautiful. You can rlly tell MPJ is a great man

[@djdesire411]

Wow, what a story !! Thank you so much for sharing this. The prayer at the end got me in tears. Good Job Mike and Team sending Love and Light to Kat.

[@S1ND0]

Kat you & those like you will be in my prayers …God Bless You!

[@willfoster9525]

The fact that you prayed 💯 that was the penultimate moment to this entire story. AMEN! Hope she went Sunday but “church” and obedience to a Yehovah is ALL week. All days of our livers. May God bless her for her compassion despite the TRAUMA. May God heal her. May she understand the importance of Jesus’ sacrifice and the vital eternal importance of SALVATION. Praise the most high for this interview. Thank you MPJ and Kat for shedding light on REAL LIFE. IM SO SORRY. But eternal life in Heaven awaits you both. To all, repent and believe. ✝️✡️🙏✝️💯🤝💪

[@tracylawino1851]

Well done Kat and Michael may God continue to bless, protect and use you both for his glory. Amen

[@EduardoGutierrez-kp9fx]

Although the prayer at the end was the icing on the cake, the entire interview, on his part and on her part as well, was sheer perfection! Michael Porter is an excellent host with his mastery of leading questions like, “why do you think (the situation) is like that?” I also liked how he was blown away (me included) by her courage, her resilience, her testimony and he told her these things and said that God has a special and beautiful purpose for her. Oh, and based on her own testimony, I can tell that she’s an excellent, loving, kind mother with the intuition to know exactly what her child needs at that moment with the humbleness to apologize to her child by saying things like, “I’m sorry for yelling at you sweetie. Mommy is having a very hard day and I didn’t mean to yell at you. I’m sorry.” Beautiful!

[@killahcdub2162]

Your Bigger Purpose is right here Micheal . Thankyou for the enlightenment Mike and Kat

[@lexieray619]

Kat, thank you for sharing! I have delt with very similar things, I have came out with it finally last year and I get how you get react to other men around you, I do the same thing. You are so strong and I’m happy you are still here and working on what happened.🙏🏼 God has been the person I have been able to lean on during that time and through every day I start dealing with anxiety around other men.

[@danieldiesner9387]

Wow Mike. That was heavy. Good show. Kat, there are a lot of good people out there. I hope you find them. Good luck.

[@mmurfur]

a lot of respect to both kat and mike for shining a light on this issue. i hope you both continue to advocate for public consciousness of this issue and its under-policing. let's talk about the fact that primarily male police forces may live in social worlds where this behavior is tolerated, and tolerance is paid off by wealth in exchange for non-enforcement.

[@Tone_Loc303]

This was beautiful Mike definitely hard to listen to at points but thank you for using your platform to raise awareness to an issue not talked about enough. God Bless 🙏

[@jscotlandr]

I'm an atheist, but Kat's bravery and strength she shows by talking about what happened to her and Mike's open mindedness, kindness, grace and generosity transcends religious boundaries and demonstrates the power to change the world for the better that intrinsically good people possess.

[@folaback46]

Your comments makes no meaning. He is religious so I Don't get your transcends. Very backhanded statement

Michael, the Lord is using your platform. Thank you for having Kat and praying for her. ❤ Did she go to church with you? 😊

[@Mykall777]

Some of these comments are so disheartening. A person giving their real life story is dismissed for people playing a role on camera for a movie. May Kat find joy and peace on this Earth and Michael find love prosperity for bringing this topic to the surface. God bless you both through your passage to his kingdom

[@jld4870]

Thank you Mike and Kat. I have a nephew who is incarcerated, I have learned much about justice system, trauma and understanding our fellow human being. ‘The work’ is a documentary that opens my eyes/heart wide. Mike I have commented several times in the last few days in multiple of your interviews. I hope and pray you read them, as I have learned and am now no longer veiled about who Christ is according to the mystery of Christ that was revealed to the apostle Paul. I pray you read the book of Galatians and ask God to reveal His truth regarding error in teaching-grace vs works. God bless you both and may He give us all ears to hear and grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ. 👆🏼🙏♥️

[@0fficialgabrie163]

The prayer at the end❤

[@donnietrowell3124]

I just got done watching your AG interview and you mentioned that you're not sure what your purchase is. Obvious pointing people to God is the main purpose but these interviews right here bro i honesty think they are another one of your purposes. Im not saying that God told me that lol but the Bible says that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb(Jesus) and the words of our testimony. You're providing that platform for the testimonies. They are reaching people bro. God Bless you and your family.

[@re1100]

Heard about this on PBD, great interview not gonna lie! But as a former LEO let me explain this, the amount of time and resources needed to build a case is crazy, due to the preponderance of evidence you need to get a prosecution. Prosecutors do not take cases that’s not a “guarantee”. They have to win elections and people only look at their prosecution rates. You can look at the number of arrest made a year compared to convictions and those in prison and it’s not even close. The other problem is these guys can afford attorneys that can find technicalities or pressure witnesses to not cooperate which creates roadblocks or destroys the case you’ve been working on for years. Lastly, the reality is a lot of victims are uneducated or have addictions so their statements and credibility are questionable which juries do not like. So building a case with victims who are unreliable is very hard, which is why the smart thing to do is try to get drug dealers and traffickers on organized crime or financial crimes cause that’s their errors and often do not require witnesses.

[@CarlosFongujo]

Dude her mom cared about her, she was a runaway she could have ran away from that guy whenever she just didn’t want to come home , I feel bad for her mom tbh

[@id9829]

Yet she calls it sex trafficking when she was just a prostitute. She can't hold herself accountable. Sex at 8 years old abd she saying it's a healthy relationship. She's just another attention seeker . Pathetic

[@Mykall777]

This is the exact kind of mindset that allows these things to keep happening. Almost every teenager is uncomfortable/awkward around their parents. She shouldn't be condemned for that

[@usmcmsgt5487]

Tattoos make sexy women even more sexier.

[@jesselopez8944]

She comes out as the victim but yet still works in the sex industry

[@PermanentHigh]

Women 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@abbyc.4458]

That is way different. She WAS literally a victim and a minor. Now she is in control if it. There is consent and ownership of her self.

[@cristian4095]

[@james7550]

Wild that she wants to bring attention to this and then dismiss Sound of Freedom…. Seems very counterintuitive to her mission. Idk

[@ladyteh]

I must admit I'm a bit disappointed...

[@dxoxo847]

A lot of people who have experienced trafficking don’t align themselves with that movie and their reasons for that are worth hearing.

[@musicbeast109]

It sounded like she wants to bring awareness about this on a local scale. Most people already know children get kidnapped and sold, but most people also bat an eye when they see a young person “prostituting themselves “ when in reality that is human trafficking as well.

[@dissertationdevi3933]

She should scientology it gets rid of prebiotic engrave

[@willfoster9525]

I rebuke this comment in Jesus name. Anti Christ beliefs. You know not what you do! 👺

[@ladyteh]

Kat... I'm a bit disappointed you're dismissing Sound of Freedom...

[@emotionalsupportbae]

I haven’t seen the film, so I cannot speak on it. Not quite sure how that’s dismissing the film or it’s message. 😊

[@dxoxo847]

She’s speaking on it from her experience though. A lot of women who survived the industry don’t align with that film. I think it’s worth it to hear it from the people who have actually experienced trafficking.
