Caleb Altmeyer, founder and executive director of Helping Captives, shares his powerful story of rebellion, redemption, and a calling that ultimately led him into the fight against sex trafficking.

Caleb opens up about his teenage years, the moment God changed the direction of his life, and the experiences that shaped the ministry he leads today. He also explains how trafficking often begins, why online grooming is such a growing concern, and what parents can do to help protect their children.

From transforming a former strip club into a place of healing to providing emergency care for women coming out of trafficking, Caleb's story is a reminder that God can redeem even the darkest places.
