Episode 85: Clint Davis | Vision Casting

Clint Davis, licensed professional counselor, ordained minister and army veteran talks about the idea of creating a vision for your life. Clint attempts to integrate trauma therapy and Christian theology to give meaning and purpose to people by creating a vision for yourself, your marriage, or your life. The psalmist say, “Without vision the people perish.” It seems like all around us people are perishing, so it is an important time to create vision!! 

Episode 84: Amanda Quick | The Sex Trafficker’s Wife

Clint Davis trauma counselor, ordained minister, and army veteran invited Amanda Quick to tell her story on this episode of Asking Why. Amanda was a victim of inter family abuse. Her former husband hid his sexual addiction, human trafficking exploits, and even the abuse of their own children. This episode has an explicit rating and is not for the faint of heart. If you have suffered abuse or are recovering I would ask you to be prepared to possibly be triggered. Clint and Amanda manage to keep the content general and less of the gory details from being spoken, but it’s still difficult material. The goal of the episode was to bring awareness to the things people go through and the courage and resources that can get them out. Amanda is now trying to help other people in similar situations find help and hope.
