EP 52: The Game of Pawns w/ Tom Althouse, Part 1

Tom Althouse, the creator of what became The Matrix blockbuster franchise, returns to The Days of Noah podcast! And this one gets personal as Tom shares the abuse he suffered through by his own family growing up. One theme seems to emerge, that to those that seek to use children for their own abhorrent purposes, to purposely damage them and alter them, they use children like pawns. They are our most valuable treasure- in fact, it’s been said you can judge a society by how it treats its children. We’re thankful for Tom coming through all this darkness and shining light on the evil that he experienced, and for God to preserve him as He has.   Find Tom on X (formerly Twitter) here: ⁠⁠https://x.com/AlthouseTom?s=20⁠⁠      Please consider supporting our podcast with a monthly subscription as little as $0.99 (support link at the bottom).
