THAT PRAYER AT THE END THOUGH 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
Amen! Thank you Jesus! All Glory to God!
So radically loving. So incredible. That’s why I’m here. I’ve never heard of this guy, but now he’s my favorite NBA player.
Here from the PBD podcast, amazing interview and beautiful prayer at the end. Thank you for bringing light to this!
Me too! I just watched the PBD replay and his clip of the prayer brought me to near tears!
same here. it is really beneficial when other podcast can highlight stories like these and the pray at the end is a great reminder that we should always ask people if they need prayer.

How Deep,how wide, how high, how long, is Gods love for Kat and Michael. Such a poweful testimony🙏🏽❤️🔥
Thank you both for providing a platform to discuss this very difficult subject. More people need to be aware of the travesty of Human Trafficking. Kat your Heavenly Father wants you to know you are fearfully and wonderfully made! A beautiful tapestry of his creation.🪻 Thank you for sharing your story.
Michael the Lord has created you with such stellar gifts and talents! You are a radiant light and steward of Gods word and compassion. I believe this is truly your mission on Earth to bring light to the Darkness in our world! Excellent job brother!Felt that prayer deep down in my soul! First time listening to your podcast lifetime Nuggets fan🏀 My husband just happened to forward your podcast with AG and I just kept on watching 3 more of your podcasts. This definitely is your God Given Gift! God bless you and God's Goodness Always!🙌🏽❤️🕊
Here from the PBD Podcast. Great interview and way to step up and model God's love instead of just talking about it. Respect!
God Bless you both and your great work! Saw you on PBD and want to watch you work. Thank you.
Great interview, God bless you both! Kat, beautiful inside and out - soft-spoken Warrior, seriously! Touched my heart, and healing for many, I do believe ❤ Respect and big hug. -Mary
MPJ you’re a blessing for this bro. Genuinely a legend 💯
I watched Kat on SWU and her story really broke my heart. Don’t get me wrong, all of the ST stories are heartbreaking, but for some reason I really felt her vulnerability, pain, and shame. I have been praying for Kat ever since. I too believe God has a plan and a purpose for her life, but more importantly God has complete healing, blessings, restoration , and hope for her future.
Thank you for loving this young lady and caring about her story to get out. The prayer at the end was so special. We need more Godly men will to love and serve those who are hurting.
The world needs more young men like you..BPD podcast sent me here🇦🇺❤️🇺🇸
Me to ....
Also heard about you from PBD podcast. I’m glad he did! I appreciate what you do. I’m looking forward to watching more of your content.
This interview genuinely opened my heart to someone who is clearly been through so much. Kat, I hope you know that what you said in this was tough to hear but so powerful for me. I wish you all the best things in life and the safety and love in a relationship you definitely deserve.
The prayer was so heartfelt, so warm, so fitting, so beautiful 🥹
THIS MUST GO VIRAL.
God bless her🙏🏼 it wasn’t easy hearing this stuff but more of this need to be heard so people can be more aware
Michael, thanks for using your platform as a professional athlete to bring light to this issue. Thanks Kat for your courage to share!
May God continue to use you both.
Great stuff Mike. Thanks for sharing your story Kat!
Wow, what a story !! Thank you so much for sharing this. The prayer at the end got me in tears. Good Job Mike and Team sending Love and Light to Kat.
Been a fan of MPJ for years! But never knew he had a podcast🤯 blessed to have this be the first episode that I came across! I’m locked in🏎️🙏🏾🙏🏾💯
Thank God for you being bold and sharing this with us MPJ.
This was beautiful Mike definitely hard to listen to at points but thank you for using your platform to raise awareness to an issue not talked about enough. God Bless 🙏
Dude! Fantastic episode, filled with bravery.
Well done Kat and Michael may God continue to bless, protect and use you both for his glory.
Amen
Kat you & those like you will be in my prayers …God Bless You!
I'am a fan after I saw his Mike's prayer!
Blessings to you and please keep spreading the good word. You're great.
Your Bigger Purpose is right here Micheal . Thankyou for the enlightenment Mike and Kat
This Lady is an angel. God bless her and continue to transform her.
This was an AMAZING episode. Only second one of yours that I have watch (AG the first). Lots of respect for you my man. I have a daughter, a few sisters and MANY nieces that I will share this with as well as my brother and nephews who have daughters. May the Lord continue to bless this brave young lady and continue to give her strength to continue her crusade. 🙏🏾
Amazing interview MPJ! Keep it up champ
The prayer at the end❤
First time on this podcast. This was so good and she is such a brave young woman. We need to continue to shine the light on human trafficking.
Kat, thank you for sharing! I have delt with very similar things, I have came out with it finally last year and I get how you get react to other men around you, I do the same thing. You are so strong and I’m happy you are still here and working on what happened.🙏🏼 God has been the person I have been able to lean on during that time and through every day I start dealing with anxiety around other men.
i respected you on your game.. but now I respected you more as a person 👏🏼
Although the prayer at the end was the icing on the cake, the entire interview, on his part and on her part as well, was sheer perfection! Michael Porter is an excellent host with his mastery of leading questions like, “why do you think (the situation) is like that?” I also liked how he was blown away (me included) by her courage, her resilience, her testimony and he told her these things and said that God has a special and beautiful purpose for her. Oh, and based on her own testimony, I can tell that she’s an excellent, loving, kind mother with the intuition to know exactly what her child needs at that moment with the humbleness to apologize to her child by saying things like, “I’m sorry for yelling at you sweetie. Mommy is having a very hard day and I didn’t mean to yell at you. I’m sorry.” Beautiful!
This interview was informative and genuine. There are a lot of people who will be able to resonate with what Kat talked about. Thank you MPJ for using your large platform for good.
The fact that you prayed 💯 that was the penultimate moment to this entire story. AMEN! Hope she went Sunday but “church” and obedience to a Yehovah is ALL week. All days of our livers. May God bless her for her compassion despite the TRAUMA. May God heal her. May she understand the importance of Jesus’ sacrifice and the vital eternal importance of SALVATION. Praise the most high for this interview. Thank you MPJ and Kat for shedding light on REAL LIFE. IM SO SORRY. But eternal life in Heaven awaits you both. To all, repent and believe. ✝️✡️🙏✝️💯🤝💪
My Respect just went way up for Michael, Keep showing your faith, don't be afraid to Show your love for God
Thank you Michael for doing such important work. Thank you for praying. Christ is King!
mad respect to you mike !! and to her …you are stronger than a Katana sword… just keep fighting you are amazing!
May the Lord bless you both and let the light guide you through life, amen
Michael, the Lord is using your platform. Thank you for having Kat and praying for her. ❤ Did she go to church with you? 😊
a lot of respect to both kat and mike for shining a light on this issue. i hope you both continue to advocate for public consciousness of this issue and its under-policing. let's talk about the fact that primarily male police forces may live in social worlds where this behavior is tolerated, and tolerance is paid off by wealth in exchange for non-enforcement.
I’m not even religious but the prayer at the end was beautiful. You can rlly tell MPJ is a great man
Thanks Mike 0:48 🙏🏾😇🤗
I'm an atheist, but Kat's bravery and strength she shows by talking about what happened to her and Mike's open mindedness, kindness, grace and generosity transcends religious boundaries and demonstrates the power to change the world for the better that intrinsically good people possess.
Your comments makes no meaning. He is religious so I Don't get your transcends. Very backhanded statement
Thank you Mike and Kat.
I have a nephew who is incarcerated, I have learned much about justice system, trauma and understanding our fellow human being.
‘The work’ is a documentary that opens my eyes/heart wide.
Mike I have commented several times in the last few days in multiple of your interviews.
I hope and pray you read them, as I have learned and am now no longer veiled about who Christ is according to the mystery of Christ that was revealed to the apostle Paul.
I pray you read the book of Galatians and ask God to reveal His truth regarding error in teaching-grace vs works.
God bless you both and may He give us all ears to hear and grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ.
👆🏼🙏♥️
Kat your a Savage went thru the ringer as a young teen but hearing your story i think your a strong amazing woman an even tho your working on yourself right now your still gonna be a great mom to your kids an show em nothing can stop ya Jope you keep your head up sending love From California
Some of these comments are so disheartening. A person giving their real life story is dismissed for people playing a role on camera for a movie. May Kat find joy and peace on this Earth and Michael find love prosperity for bringing this topic to the surface. God bless you both through your passage to his kingdom
all i can say is wow. Mike flexing true journalism skills here is impressive. But an amazing story and segment. Well done
Wow Mike. That was heavy. Good show. Kat, there are a lot of good people out there. I hope you find them. Good luck.
Awesome job, Mike!
This is powerful.
I just got done watching your AG interview and you mentioned that you're not sure what your purchase is. Obvious pointing people to God is the main purpose but these interviews right here bro i honesty think they are another one of your purposes. Im not saying that God told me that lol but the Bible says that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb(Jesus) and the words of our testimony. You're providing that platform for the testimonies. They are reaching people bro. God Bless you and your family.
here from PBD! Bless you Bro... Jesus took all our shame and guilt.
Your about to blow up my brother beautiful prayer 🙏
Dang cool seeing mike doing some coo stuff beyond the court… granted I’m here on the channel cuz of on the court teammates(bones and Jokic), I still like seeing him doing something different
I don’t know if you read these Mike but I usually listen to all of your episodes on Apple Podcasts and I was not able to play this episode. I can listen to any other podcast I had but Apple would not let me listen to this episode.
This is awesome!
best team with the best guys
Let’s make this a trend rn fr fr 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Heard about this on PBD, great interview not gonna lie! But as a former LEO let me explain this, the amount of time and resources needed to build a case is crazy, due to the preponderance of evidence you need to get a prosecution. Prosecutors do not take cases that’s not a “guarantee”. They have to win elections and people only look at their prosecution rates. You can look at the number of arrest made a year compared to convictions and those in prison and it’s not even close. The other problem is these guys can afford attorneys that can find technicalities or pressure witnesses to not cooperate which creates roadblocks or destroys the case you’ve been working on for years. Lastly, the reality is a lot of victims are uneducated or have addictions so their statements and credibility are questionable which juries do not like. So building a case with victims who are unreliable is very hard, which is why the smart thing to do is try to get drug dealers and traffickers on organized crime or financial crimes cause that’s their errors and often do not require witnesses.
#facts appreciate y’all.. keep up the Great wrk my G✨⚜️🔱🫡🐺🫡🔱⚜️✨

MICHAEL PORTER JR BEST PODCAST

Praise God, sent by God via PBD podcast
I love his faith to God
Amen
I was wondering if the lady that was on your podcast the other day that was working with you on pain could maybe help? The one talking about writing down everything that happened to her in her childhood and releasing the pain and anxiety.
Well done
You look great here mike
❤

From pbd podcast
It's rife because it's done at the highest levels in society
my daughter is 14, what kind of mother is her mother??????
I’ll never understand this “she’s a runaway, it’s not an issue”. SHE’S A MINOR!! I don’t care if she ran away. She is 14 and her parents need help finding her. Ridiculous.
Repent and trust in Jesus you will be saved I love yall and God bless
💯🙏✝️✡️🗣️
She deserved a better interviewer
how did you mean that? I‘m just curious. Like what should he have done better?
I think Mike is the first person that doesn't look good with a beard. Or should i say he looks better clean shaven
Good job on your podcast and just not focusing on sports.🙏
Dude her mom cared about her, she was a runaway she could have ran away from that guy whenever she just didn’t want to come home , I feel bad for her mom tbh
Yet she calls it sex trafficking when she was just a prostitute. She can't hold herself accountable. Sex at 8 years old abd she saying it's a healthy relationship. She's just another attention seeker . Pathetic
This is the exact kind of mindset that allows these things to keep happening. Almost every teenager is uncomfortable/awkward around their parents. She shouldn't be condemned for that
Michael porter junior believes in Jesus Christ and won an. NBA championship. Can’t get any better than that can it?
Kat... I'm a bit disappointed you're dismissing Sound of Freedom...
I haven’t seen the film, so I cannot speak on it. Not quite sure how that’s dismissing the film or it’s message. 😊
She’s speaking on it from her experience though. A lot of women who survived the industry don’t align with that film. I think it’s worth it to hear it from the people who have actually experienced trafficking.
She should scientology it gets rid of prebiotic engrave
I rebuke this comment in Jesus name. Anti Christ beliefs. You know not what you do! 👺
She comes out as the victim but yet still works in the sex industry
Women 🤷🏽♂️
My man just wants the kitty 😺
Wild that she wants to bring attention to this and then dismiss Sound of Freedom…. Seems very counterintuitive to her mission. Idk
I must admit I'm a bit disappointed...
A lot of people who have experienced trafficking don’t align themselves with that movie and their reasons for that are worth hearing.
It sounded like she wants to bring awareness about this on a local scale. Most people already know children get kidnapped and sold, but most people also bat an eye when they see a young person “prostituting themselves “ when in reality that is human trafficking as well.
