Through Chapters 6–8 of We Will Not Lose One Child to the World, we witness how a routine fire drill becomes a moment of emotional crisis for Zoie and Dre—children whose trauma is invisible to the systems meant to protect them.This episode explores the gap between physical safety and emotional sanctuary. It asks: What good is a locked door if a child’s heart is still exposed? What does protection mean if we don’t first offer presence?Dr. Stephon Ferguson shares a true story of a young girl triggered by a lockdown drill—revealing how unhealed wounds can be reopened by well-meaning procedures. Anchored in Psalm 34:18, this message calls us to sit closer to the brokenhearted, to listen beyond the silence, and to redefine what safety truly means.🔔 Download your free copy of We Will Not Lose One Child to the World at payhip.com and begin the devotional journey toward healing, advocacy, and love.Because seeing the child is the first step to saving them
