My next guests have been best friends since high school, where they discovered they had a mutual gift for spreading the word of God through comedy. Their hilarious new movie “Family Camp” just opened nationwide. It's a faith-based, laugh-out-loud comedy that will touch the hearts and tickle the funny bones of every family member from eight to eighty.

Tim Ballard spent more than a decade working as a Special Agent for the Department of Homeland Security, where he was assigned to the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force and deployed as an undercover operative for the U.S. Child Sex Tourism Jump Team. 

 He has worked in that role and since in every type of case in the fight to dismantle child trafficking rings. He’s worked in the United States and in multiple foreign countries to infiltrate child trafficking organizations. He has successfully dismantled dozens of these organizations and rescued children from slavery and exploitation. 

 While working for the government, Ballard saw how much more is needed in the fight against child trafficking and exploitation across the world. In 2013, he and a team of former government operatives left the security of their careers to accomplish the work of rescuing children as a private foundation - Operation Underground Railroad. At O.U.R., Tim has created a team that can work in any jurisdiction and in conjunction with law enforcement to rescue children directly. That team exists today and operates all over the world. 

Timothy P. Carney is a father of six children, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and a columnist at the Washington Examiner. Tim and his wife, Katie, have raised their family in suburban Maryland and Northern Virginia. Tim grew up with three older brothers in Greenwich Village and later in Pelham, New York. He is the author of Alienated America, The Big Ripoff, and Obamanomics.

In FAMILY UNFRIENDLY: How Our Culture Made Raising Kids Much Harder Than It Needs to Be (Harper; on sale March 19th), Carney blends rigorous sociological and demographic research with timely anecdotal evidence gathered from around the country—including his own experiences as a father of six—to figure out why modern parenting has grown so misguided and what can be done to get back on track. America, he ascertains, has a family-unfriendly culture that makes parenting harder than it should be. And the problem grows from many intertwined roots: our parenting culture, our school culture, our dating and mating culture, work culture, the shape of our communities, and the individualistic and materialistic characters of our culture.
