Episode 14, Nate's story

Welcome to The Survivor’s Voice, where resilience meets hope.

Nate is a survivor, justice warrior, and founder of The Innocent, a nonprofit equipping law enforcement to combat online predators. In this gripping episode, Nate shares how a gang abduction at gunpoint changed the course of his life—and how he turned his trauma into purpose. From surviving near-death in South Central LA to confronting child sacrifice overseas, Nate opens up about abuse, PTSD, faith, and the righteous anger that fuels his fight for children’s safety. This is more than a story—it’s a call to arms in the war for innocence.
