Most people believe predators are strangers lurking in dark corners. But what if the real danger is much closer to home? What happens when the very people entrusted with the care of our youth are the ones causing harm? And most importantly—how can we tell the difference between those who help and those who hurt?  On this episode of Magnify Your Message, I sit down with John-Michael Lander, a former gold medalist in the World Games whose greatest battles weren’t fought in the pool or on the platform, but behind closed doors. As a young athlete, he was groomed and exploited by trusted adults who were supposed to be his protectors. It wasn’t just about sports—it was about power, manipulation, and silence.  Now, John-Michael is on a mission to expose the hidden tactics of abusers, empower survivors, and educate communities about the very real dangers of grooming, exploitation, and trafficking—whether it happens in athletics, schools, religious institutions, or even online.  🚫 The Myths We Need to Shatter About Grooming & Abuse:  ⚡️ It’s NOT just a “sports” problem. Grooming happens in schools, churches, workplaces, and even online. John-Michael reveals why we often miss the warning signs until it’s too late.  ⚡️ Predators don’t "look" like predators. We imagine them as strangers in dark alleys, but the real danger? It’s often the people we know and trust. John-Michael shares the subtle tactics abusers use to gain access to their victims—and why they’re so hard to detect.  ⚡️ Survivors don’t always “act” like victims. Why do some victims stay silent for years? Why do others seem “okay” on the outside?

🎙️In today's Magnify Your Message Podcast episode, I am joined by Mary Rottschafer, founder of the Critter Barn Educational Farm, which began back in 1984 when Mary’s church choir surprised her family by giving them a few farm animals. After six years of learning and caring for her little hobby farm, friends in education asked Mary if she’d consider hosting school field trips there. As a teacher herself, Mary gladly accepted.  25 years later, the Critter Barn Educational Farm began serving over 100,000 people annually. Their admission is on a donation basis, ensuring no child is turned away, and all families feel welcome to come to the farm.  The Critter Barn hosts field trips, seasonal events, and engages people in learning through experiences with the animals at the farm. They specialize in serving children and youth with special needs and pairing them with animals that provide a sense of understanding and unconditional love and acceptance for these children.  The Critter Barn’s work doesn’t stop at the farm gate, though; through the Critters on Wheels program, they take the barn on the road and provide their unique brand of animal therapy to children in urban settings, who do not have the means to travel outside of their community. Mary’s stories of the children she serves will pull at your heartstrings and make you feel good to be alive. Listen in as Mary reveals: • The surprising reason farm animals sometimes make better therapists than trained professionals…and why you might want to swap in some therapy sessions with farm sessions • Why goat time beats screen time every day of the week with kids…and what adults can learn from this finding • Why Mary lets kids feed animals 'wrong' - and what brain research says about this approach • The unexpected link between mucking stalls and executive function in children…and how you, too, can benefit from this discovery If you're ready to be inspired and gain a newfound appreciation for animals and nature, I invite you to tune in.  Listen to Magnify Your Message wherever you get your podcasts. About the Guest Mary Rottschafer is a teacher with a BA in music and elementary education from Hope College, and taught 3rd and 4th grades, vocal choirs, instrumental groups, and coordinated music programming. She then founded Critter Barn, and now uses a working farm, animal interactions, and daily farm chores to enrich people’s lives. Critter Barn is an educational farm in Michigan that started in her backyard. This farm offers hands-on learning experiences to people of all ages and all abilities. It’s a unique, welcoming destination that teaches about agriculture while reconnecting people with the natural world. Now, they are expanding and bringing the experience to Texas through the Timberview Farmstead. Resources: Critter Barn website  www.critterbarn.org Timberview website www.timberviewfarmstead.com
