Breaking The Silence with Dr Gregory Williams Unconquerable: Chief Matt Antkowiak on Trauma, Resilience, Faith, and Becoming a Protector Guest, Chief Matt Antkowiak, Former Police Chief, Detective, Author and Survivor This week's guest is Chief Matt Antkowiak, Author and Survivor Scoop was conducting an interview with Chief Matt, when something amazing happened. You Will NOT want to miss this life-changing program! A Father's Day Conversation About Resilience and Hope In this Father's Day episode of Breaking the Silence, host Dr. Gregory Williams welcomes Chief Matt Antkowiak for a deeply personal conversation about childhood abuse, trauma, resilience, law enforcement, faith, and the mission to protect vulnerable children. Dr. Williams opens by reflecting on his recent visit to a juvenile detention center, where many young people had experienced abuse, trafficking, foster care, fatherlessness, and serious criminal charges. He uses that experience to introduce the theme of resilience, stressing that children need adults who teach them how to recover, adapt, keep moving forward, learn from failure, and believe that there is always hope. Learning Resilience the Hard Way Chief Antkowiak explains that resilience is not simply something people are born with; it must be taught, modeled, and practiced. He says he did not learn healthy resilience as a child, but later encountered it in the military through drill sergeants who taught him that each step forward is a choice. He describes how, as a young person, he dealt with trauma through hiding, shame, drinking, fighting, and suppressing pain. Looking back, he says he was leaving “breadcrumbs” and wanted someone to notice, ask the right questions, and help stop what was happening, but the adults around him did not respond in the way he needed. Abuse, Silence, and the Need for Protectors Much of the conversation centers on the silence that surrounds childhood abuse and the urgent need to equip parents, teachers, pastors, coaches, and other adults to recognize warning signs. Chief Antkowiak says most abusers are known to the child, often occupying trusted roles within families, schools, churches, sports, or community circles. He argues that society must shift from merely responding after abuse happens to building protectors on the front end. For him, breaking the silence means removing shame from survivors, asking better questions, teaching children what trusted adults look like, and understanding that the shame belongs to the abuser, not the victim. Law Enforcement, Human Trafficking, and Searching for Justice Chief Antkowiak reflects on his long career in law enforcement, including military service and decades as a police officer and chief. He explains that working sex crimes, child abuse, and human trafficking cases gave him a way to pursue justice for others, even while he had not yet publicly spoken about his own abuse. He discusses major investigations, including the Blakemore human-trafficking case, and says that catching offenders did not fully heal him because he was still searching for justice for himself. Over time, he came to understand that his pain had become part of his purpose and that his experience helped him connect with survivors while also understanding the behavior of predators. The Moment the Silence Broke One of the most powerful parts of the interview comes when Chief Antkowiak describes publicly revealing his own abuse during a media interview connected to a school-related abuse investigation. He says an investigative reporter recognized that the case seemed deeply personal, and Antkowiak unexpectedly disclosed that he had been abused as a child. Moments later, he repeated that disclosure in a press conference, realizing only afterward that he had broken a silence he had carried for decades. Rather than stopping, he returned to the work, but the moment forced him to begin processing what he had long buried. Faith, Healing, and Taking Back What Was Stolen Chief Antkowiak also speaks openly about faith, therapy, forgiveness, and his belief that God was present with him even in the darkest moments of his life. He recounts a life-threatening incident as a Dallas police officer in 2000, when he survived being dragged by a car and badly injured, and says his young son's comment that “God went to work with my dad” changed the way he understood God's presence. He connects that experience to his later healing, saying he has come to believe that God did not create the abuse but was with him through it. He also shares how a trafficking survivor once told him about Jesus and reminded him that God loved him, a moment that deeply affected him. Team Unconquerable and the Call to Expose the Darkness The episode closes with Chief Antkowiak describing his developing movement, Team Unconquerable, and his upcoming book, Unconquerable, which he says is planned for a Black Friday release tied to reclaiming the anniversary of one of the hardest moments in his own story. His mission is to expose darkness, speak up, and build protectors who can recognize abuse, support survivors, and prevent harm. Dr. Williams thanks him for the conversation and says he wants to bring him back for another episode. He closes with the show's recurring message: survivors are not alone, healing is possible, the silence can be broken, and there is always hope.

England's witch trials remain a fascinating and relevant subject. They're the foundation of AK Blakemore's 2021 historical novel The Manningtree Witches, which has now been adapted for the stage and premieres later this month at Colchester's Mercury Theatre – a stone's throw from the town where infamous Witchfinder General Matthew Hopkins persecuted, tortured and executed local women. Jen got on the Zoom with AK and the Mercury's artistic director Natasha Rickman to talk about the importance of theatre, consistent public interest in the 17th century witch trials, and making Matthew Hopkins look a right wally.

Why was Jesus baptized? And what does it mean that the Holy Spirit descended on him? In this episode of the More to the Story podcast, I'm joined by Steve Blakemore, theologian, and Murray Vasser, New Testament scholar, for a conversation about one of the most intriguing moments in the Gospels. Together, we explore why Jesus, who Christians confess as sinless, submitted to baptism, and how the Spirit's descent at the Jordan reveals key aspects of Jesus's identity, mission, and relationship to Israel and the Father. This episode invites listeners to move beyond familiar answers and into the deeper theological and biblical meaning of Jesus's baptism, and why it still matters today.Youtube - https://youtu.be/4_OWvi3PkfwAudio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcastApple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4If you are interested in learning more about my two full-length video-accompanied courses, Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude andHeaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit andymilleriii.com/coursesAnd don't forget about my most recent book, Contender, which is available on Amazon!

Why Every AI Project Needs an Ethics CommitteeIn this snippet, Matthew Blakemore, CEO at AI Caramba!, stresses why AI ethics committees shouldn't be optional.He shares that every project he's worked on included one, because it's extremely difficult for companies to ethically assess their own products in isolation. Independent voices matter.By collaborating with external experts, including the University of Bath, and bringing in outside perspectives, Matthew believes companies can build stronger, more trustworthy AI systems.His advice is clear:
Deepfakes & Democracy: A Dangerous LineIn this snippet, Matthew Blakemore, CEO at AI Caramba!, raises serious concerns about the rise of deepfakes, especially during elections.With examples already online of people appearing to say things they never said, the risk is clear. A flood of deepfakes before an election could heavily influence outcomes, and that's deeply problematic.Still, Matthew points to a hopeful sign: when parties publicly call out and clarify deepfakes, it helps protect democratic processes.The takeaway?

Affirmative action and DEI have become lightning rods in today's culture wars, but how much do we really know about where they came from and why they exist? In this episode, Sergio breaks down the long history of systemic racism in America, from slavery and Jim Crow to redlining and modern hiring bias. You'll learn what affirmative action actually is, what DEI really means, and how both have shaped access, opportunity, and fairness for everyone not just a few. This isn't about guilt. It's about awareness. Because when you understand the history, you start to see the patterns. And once you see them, you can't unsee them.1.Intro2. America's Original Construction Project3.
