In this powerful episode, returning guest Mike Williams shares his personal journey from abandonment and rejection to becoming a mentor for troubled youth. Growing up without parental support, Mike struggled with feelings of unworthiness—until his life took a transformative turn through faith.

Now working alongside host Tony Moore, Mike has become an expert in guiding at-risk youth away from criminal behavior. He delves into the Criminal Thinking Errors model, explaining why people often laugh at these patterns—because they recognize them in themselves. He also stresses the importance of having a backup plan when life takes an unexpected turn.

Mike reveals how early childhood, particularly between the ages of 3 to 4 and 5 to 7, is when criminal thinking begins to take root, shaping future behaviors. He also breaks down The Four Core Needs in Life and The Seven Desires God Has Placed in Us, showing how these concepts play a crucial role in behavioral therapy.

If you or someone you know struggles with criminal thinking, this episode offers real-life solutions and hope. Learn more about Mike’s work at www.traumaresilience.net.
