What happens when a school hides your child’s gender transition? What if a hospital pressures your daughter or son into irreversible medical harm and threatens you for speaking out?
In this gripping, must-watch episode of the City of God, Dr. Rob Pacienza sits down with two courageous mothers: Amy Atterberry and January Littlejohn. Their daughters were swept into the trans movement, through secret school policies and medical gatekeeping, without parental knowledge or consent.
You’ll hear about:
- How children are secretly socially transitioned at school (new name, pronouns, facilities) — without parents ever being told
- How parents face threats from hospital staff and other authorities for questioning a “trans diagnosis” and resisting the push towards "gender-affirming" interventions
- The devastating emotional and spiritual toll on families, and how God is redeeming their stories through advocacy, healing, and truth
- What pastors, parents, and believers must do NOW to protect children, reclaim parental rights, and stand boldly against ideological capture
This is the frontline battle for our families and the next generation. If you're a parent, grandparent, pastor, or anyone called to be salt and light in a confused culture, this conversation will break your heart, but ignite your resolve.

What happens when truth is sacrificed on the altar of ideology?
In this hard-hitting episode of the City of God, Dr. Rob Pacienza sits down with Christian Post journalist Brandon Showalter — a fearless voice in Christian media — to uncover how the mainstream press has fueled deception, and what it takes to restore truth in a confused age.
As the host of Generation Indoctrination: Inside the Transgender Battle, Brandon has spent years exposing the harm caused by gender ideology and false media narratives. Together, Rob and Brandon explore the biblical call to “not bear false witness,” how words are manipulated to coerce the public, and why Christian journalists have a mandate to promote the true, good, and beautiful while they shine light into darkness.
You’ll hear about:
● The rise of activist media and how it twists truth into lies
● The way words are used for mass manipulation
● Why telling the truth is a Christian mandate
● Advice for the next generation of Christian journalists and truth-tellers in the public square
In a world of fake news and fractured trust, this episode is a clarion call to bold, biblical truth-telling.
