Mike Stone

In 1977, Mike gave his life to Jesus Christ at age 12. He knew that it was only the beginning of his journey as a Christ-follower. On the playground of Dundee Elementary School, he began telling his friends about Jesus and the hope that He offers them.

Today, that journey continues through his full-time job at Covenant Eyes, through church ministry, and through his podcast, "Behind the Mike: Conversations of Hope."

Tammy Stone

I am the wife of an amazing husband who loves Jesus, mom to two teenagers, and "master" to two rowdy Dobermans, Rocky & Lucy.

Over our 34 years of marriage, we've seen lots of highs and more lows than I like to remember. However, through it all, we have seen God's mighty hand in all we've done--the good, the bad, and those times when we've wandered.

It is my prayer that this podcast will help to point you to Jesus who is the ultimate Hope in all our lives.

Jeff Younger

Jeff Younger's son was chemically castrated and transitioned to a girl without Jeff’s consent. Jeff lives in Dallas, Texas. He is best known for his decade-long legal battle to save his son, James, from forced gender transition. His ex-wife, with support from courts and medical institutions, sought to transition James against Jeff’s objections.


In Texas, Jeff fought tirelessly, exposing the collusion between activist doctors, the legal system, and state bureaucracy. His advocacy led to public outrage and legislative efforts to ban child gender transitions. Despite gaining widespread support, Texas courts failed to protect James fully, allowing his ex-wife to move him to California.


Through public speaking, writing, and legislative activism, Jeff is leading the

charge against gender ideology, working to outlaw child transition nationwide

while fighting to reunite with his sons.
