Join host Leah Belding on America's Front Porch Show for a timely pre-Christmas episode tackling two urgent threats: cybercrime and the addictive behaviors that make us vulnerable.

In the first hour, cybersecurity expert Jeremy Davis (Managing Director at Cyber Global Network) reveals how modern cybercrime evolved from 1970s mainframe hacks to today's sophisticated scams. With fraud losses topping $10 billion annually, Jeremy shares real-world examples — grandparent scams, fake shipment texts, romance fraud, and AI voice cloning — and practical defenses: use safe phrases with family, never click unsolicited links, enable two-factor authentication, and consider VPNs and dark web monitoring.

The conversation expands to emerging risks like infected public chargers, hacked smart devices, and even vehicle vulnerabilities.

In the second hour, the porch discussion turns inward, exploring how fear, loneliness, urgency, and spiritual emptiness fuel addictive patterns — from phone/social media obsession to substance abuse. Guests Ray, David, and Jerome share personal insights, biblical wisdom, and stories of breakthrough, emphasizing faith, community, resisting temptation, and reclaiming connection over convenience.

As we head into the holidays, this episode reminds us: behind every scam is a human story of vulnerability. Protect your finances, your devices, and most importantly — your heart.

Stay safe, stay connected to what matters, and Merry Christmas from America's Front Porch.
