Human trafficking is one of the greatest challenges facing our world today, with millions of men, women, and children affected globally. The trauma it inflicts not only devastates individual lives but entire communities as well. Yet, even in the midst of such darkness, there is hope—hope that the Church can bring through the light and love of Jesus. During this Advent season, we are reminded of the Church's calling to step into the hardest battles, offering healing, restoration, and freedom. Ministries around the world are rising to this challenge, working to prevent human trafficking and help survivors rebuild their lives. Just as the Body of Christ has many parts, there are many ways we can join in this mission. From providing economic empowerment to delivering mental health services, the Church is equipping itself to be a powerful force in combating this evil. Together, we can be the hands and feet of Jesus, offering hope where it's needed most. In this special episode, I'm joined by leaders of organizations making a difference in the fight against human trafficking. We'll discuss their initiatives, the impact they're having, and how the Church can continue to be a beacon of hope during this Advent season.
