Voiced by: Dr. Stephon FergusonBased on the book: We Will Not Lose One Child to the World by Dr. Norma McLauchlinFocus: Chapters 4–5Key Scripture: Proverbs 31:8Episode Description:In Episode 2 of Dr. Norma Speaks, we confront a painful truth: silence is not always peace. Sometimes, it’s a cry for help. Through the lens of Chapters 4 and 5 of We Will Not Lose One Child to the World, we follow Zoie into the corners where too many children are sent—not to heal, but to disappear.Isolation rooms. Hallway seats. Behavioral files. These are the places where trauma is mislabeled as defiance. But Mr. Joshua sees differently. He listens with compassion, not control. He ministers, not manages.This episode also shares the story of Myra—a child labeled “nonverbal” until a keyboard unlocked her worship. Her silence wasn’t absence. It was music waiting to be heard.Anchored in Proverbs 31:8, this message calls us to speak up for the children whose voices have been buried beneath systems, assumptions, and fear. It’s a call to educators, parents, and leaders to hear the language of pain—and respond with love.🔔 Download your free copy of We Will Not Lose One Child to the World at payhip.com and begin the devotional journey toward restoration and righteous advocacy.Because silence should never be the final word.
