Pastor With No Answers: The MIXTAPE Era

297 - Humanizing the Human Trafficker


Listen Later

David Zach, professional musician and song-writer (his music is heard throughout this episode), works for a non-profit, The Exodus Road, who are on the front lines of the fight to end human trafficking.  There's currently 40 million people, some still infants, who are enslaved and David has drank, smoked, laughed, and talked music with traffickers only to see them arrested the next day.  His reaction to seeing them brought to justice may surprise you. 

Rollercoaster of an emotional episode, we discuss the accessibility of websites that give American "consumers" instructions on how and who to make the connections with, in order to have sex with kids overseas.  We compare modern-day slavery to the transatlantic slavery of the 16th to 19th centuries.  We grapple with humanizing the  Apostle Paul, Thomas Jefferson and the very traffickers David has spent time with, despite their views, and/or practices in enslaving fellow humans.  We marvel at the bravery he's observed in the very teen girls who are stuck in sex trafficking and learn how we can all be a part of opposing this dark and rampant, evil side of humanity.
