   an interview with geneviève gilbert

   Geneviève, a French-Québécoise native, details her Québécoise childhood in the 80s, and childhood trauma. She describes what she thought was a quiet, suburban childhood in a blue-collar neighborhood. Her dad, a milkman, and her mother a bank-teller, who dreamt of being a primary school teacher. Still, at the age of 9, her father left, and she rarely saw him again. She also learned eventually that her father had done many illegal things to the family, without her knowledge. Still, she believes she had a good childhood and is very grateful to her mother Suzanne LaBadie, a devout Catholic, who was always praying and did her best to raise her kids on her own, with a step-dad later joining the family. Since her father left and having grown up poor, she searched for worldly things and relationships to validate her hurt, and became a sex addict who was angry with men. In searching for healing, at the age of 16, she had her first boyfriend and her first sexual experience. Over time, she had many promiscuous encounters with men and women, having had long relationships with women too. For a while, Geneviève thought she was bisexual. From the age of 27, she spent 8 years as a prostitute. Prostitution is not a choice, and though legal, being sexually violated is not a job. It must be talked about. After exiting prostitution for good, she had three children with an Asian man. She understands God as her perfect father and has lived in Australia for twenty years, dealing with her trauma through art and research. In terms of childhood safety, it’s important to teach kids to deal with their emotions. That is, to talk about their feelings when they are young and to not tell them to ‘not cry’. Conversations about childhood trauma need to be had and addressed.

   an interview with amanda

   Amanda, former Events Manager at World Vision, Australia Red Cross, and Many Rooms, speaks of the centrality of prayer to the Christian life, her rough upbringing, faith in suffering, and mercy ministry. Whilst raised in a Christian home, her dad left Amanda’s mum to take care of four kids on her own. Despite the circumstances, she made the emotional well-being of her kids central and did her best to provide for her kids and nourish their faith. Because of her past, and with the compassionate heart God gave her, Amanda served in World Vision for almost a decade, and even now continues to work in mercy ministry. She encourages us to use our skills and resources to advance God’s kingdom, but first, we must focus on our personal relationship with Jesus, then look after our family, then our sphere of influence, and then the world.

   an interview with throwdown

   Dom reunites with his old band members from Throwdown in this special episode of LTU. The band reminisces over their favourite and last shows with Throwdown, some crazy experiences (like stabbing, guns, and how Matt went to jail on tour) and what they’ve been up to in the past fifteen years. In the decades since Dom left the band, he has gotten married, had a kid, moved to Geelong in Australia, and became a church creative director at City on a Hill. Keith dabbles in metal-Esque music, but his main work is in user interface design. Matt moved to Washington state, has a five-year-old son, is in the process of building a house, and works in marketing for a motorcycle accessory company as he has for fourteen years. Tommy has recently picked up the guitar during COVID after a fifteen-year hiatus and now seeks to be the Tedashii 69 of hardcore music on Soundcloud. He also has a few kids and is working on an organic plant-based café as he pursues a plant-based lifestyle. Ben hasn’t aged in 25 years and has worked in the fitness industry. He moved to Toronto with his now-ex-wife and kids in 2008, though has had a gnarly divorce a few years ago and is left raising the kids on his own. Marc has been opening gigs since 2001, formed a hardcore punk band called The Eulogy in 2012, and moved in with his girlfriend and her kids.
