About this Episode:
We’ve faced the weight of the problem—now it’s time to act. In the final episode of the Advocate Series, Francis Chan, survivors, and advocates challenge the Church to step into its God-given role: preventing trafficking, serving victims, and disrupting the demand. Hope is not lost—together, we can push back the darkness. Watch full series here. 

Full Description:
Episode 5 concludes the Advocate Series with a call to action. The fight against human trafficking isn’t just about awareness—it’s about movement. Survivors and leaders share practical steps for prevention, victim care, and ending demand, while pastor Francis Chan reminds us that Christ has empowered His Church to confront evil with courage and compassion.

You’ll also learn about the Abolitionist Project, a national effort to equip and mobilize believers into real action in their communities. This final episode is both a challenge and an invitation: to let our hearts break with God’s heart, to love boldly, and to step forward together as the Body of Christ.
