He Turned a Strip Club into a House of Healing | The Truth About Trafficking in the US ft Caleb Altmeyer
What if the darkest parts of your past weren’t meant to disqualify you, but to set others free?
Meet Caleb Altmeyer, Founder and CEO of Helping Captives. Once entangled in addiction, dealing, and destruction, he now leads a ministry devoted to delivering women out of trafficking, addiction, and exploitation, even transforming a strip club into a house of healing. His calling is clear: to declare freedom to the captives and to reveal the heart of God who always runs into the darkest places to rescue His children.
In this episode, Caleb takes us deeper into his journey and the radical ways God has used his past as a preparation for his calling. He takes us inside the reality of trafficking, why so many women feel trapped, and what it truly takes to protect and empower them. More than just a story of redemption, Caleb’s testimony reminds us that freedom is possible, healing is real, and every life surrendered to God has the power to create breakthroughs for others.
