In this episode, against the backdrop of Christmas, you'll hear about a hard-to-talk-about topic, but one that demands our attention AND one that magnifies our need for the Hope we have in Jesus Christ!

Jason Dukes and Cambri Driskell of Love Justice International share a brief but powerful talk called Ending Human Trafficking. Together they bring light to the human trafficking epidemic across the world and share about an approach they’ve found to be hugely successful in counteracting these crimes.

Instead of asking “Can we end human trafficking?” they ask a better question. Listen in to find out the question—and answer—that's saving lives.

In this episode, we’re talking about our "Debt Disaster" with debt elimination expert and financial coach Jade Warshaw.

Our national debt is in the trillions, student loan debt is in the trillions, and the majority of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Sadly, it’s keeping the next generation from flourishing—from getting married, having families, and living out their dreams.

Jade Warshaw shares her firsthand experience of what lots of Americans struggle with, as she and her husband have paid off over $460,000 in consumer and student loan debt. She calls out a culture dependent on debt and owing other people.

Listen in as she encourages us to reconsider our relationship with debt and take the steps to be financially free.

In this episode, Anna Halpine, the CEO of the FEMM Foundation—a research and evidence-based program dedicated to improving women’s health—discusses the importance of boldly speaking up, especially if you're in the unrepresented silent majority.

Anna shares her story of creating disruption at age 21 at the United Nations Conference on Population and Development in 1999. She recalls watching a group of 32 young people claim to represent the world’s three billion youth and demand the implementation of certain policies: abortion as a human right, sexual rights for children, and the removal of parental rights. Anna found herself questioning, “Do these people represent me?”

Listen in as Anna urges us to speak up for truth and advocate for our rights, enabling us to transform our communities for the better.
