You may think that sex trafficking only happens in third-world countries. It certainly doesn't happen here! The truth is, human trafficking is happening right here in our local communities. It’s heartbreaking. It’s ugly. And it’s hard to imagine what we could do to make a difference.

Yolanda answered the call God placed on her life to do something about it. That’s how Zoe Ministries was birthed. Answering the call. This story may not be suitable for younger ones to hear (in case you’re listening with little ones in the room), but this story must be heard because you and I CAN do something to help save the ones who have been trapped and lied to over and over. There is hope for the hopeless, and maybe, just maybe, God is asking us to help provide hope and healing to those who desperately need to know that their identity is in Jesus.

Mandi shared her story with us several years ago (Episode 19). It was one of the first times she had publicly revealed her heartbreaking story of being trafficked from a very young age and how her life had continued to spiral out of control until she found Jesus.

Courageous to step forward and speak out, God has opened one door after the other to give her a platform for her bravery and boldness to help others find help, hope and healing. This part of her story - what God has done through her in the last few years - is the stuff only God could do.

It’s Genesis 50:20 written on the pages and lived out in the life of Mandi. To God be the glory!!

If you saw the production of NOAH at Sight & Sound Theater in Lancaster, PA, you probably saw Karen Knight on stage in her role as “Mrs. Noah”!

Growing up in a military family meant that Karen traveled a LOT. Despite her lack of ‘roots’ in the physical, Karen is deeply rooted in God!

She tells her story with quiet confidence that God has directed her path and opened the doors as He has led her to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ through speaking and song. She is a gifted storyteller and in this episode you’ll get to know a little bit of the heart behind the microphone.

Cadie Fagg is a beautiful, vibrant young woman who has discovered why she’s here and is living in the intersection of her faith, passion and purpose! The road to get here has not been easy. In fact, she ended up in multiple situations and places that could have ended very badly. But God!

He rescued Cadie and she sat down recently with Denise Harper to tell her story. This is one you will, no doubt, want to share with someone once you’ve heard it. God is still changing hearts and lives today and there is hope for those who feel hopeless.

If that’s you then - this one is for you. If you’re standing in the gap for someone who is struggling - this one is for you! Be encouraged. God sees you!

The song lyrics and their delivery grabbed my heart immediately. “Redeem this wreckage. Restore my peace. Oh God, I’m desperate…down on my knees…”. I think most of us have found ourselves at the point of sheer desperation at least once. Denise sat down with Capitol CMG recording artist, Jamie MacDonald, recently as Jamie shared her story and her life altering encounter with God.

Stories that include church camp, Africa, prison and sardines?!! Plus, if you keep replaying the unkind words of others in your mind, Jamie tells what she did to break the cycle and let it go. You’ll be so glad you spent 30 minutes with this incredibly gifted beautiful soul! You will definitely want to follow along on Jamie’s journey!

Have you ever considered all the things that had to align for you to be where you are today? This episode is a little different because I am both host AND guest.

Today, you’ll get to know some of MY story. You’ll hear how God orchestrated big things and little things to bring me to the space that I am in now. When I think about His handiwork, I am especially grateful that God is in control! My hope is that you’ll take a little time to consider how God has been at work in YOUR life.

Be encouraged that God is in YOUR story...and even greater...we get to be part of HIS story!
