Romans 3:23, Mark 9:36-42, Romans 8:28, 2 Timothy 1:7 We're so excited that you guys are here today. I have a very special guest with me today. She is going to be the next Lieutenant Governor of the great State of Texas. Trayce Bradford, welcome. So excited. I know how God brought us together, and he clearly is not done with our relationship. The thing that really connected us both was our concern for sex trafficking. The amazing work that led you to this place. I want to talk a little bit about that first and then tell everybody what God is doing in your crazy life now. Let's have you if you don't mind, just give a little bit of background on what even got you involved as an advocate for sex trafficking victims. It's really interesting. I was about five years old and was having dinner and I remember this very clearly telling my mom, “There are still slaves.” She said, no honey. There are still slaves and that had to be planted by God in my heart. And so over the years has just really never left. And then I started to do research and couldn’t really find anything. Just as recent as fifteen years ago,  I went to my first precinct convention with the Texas Government and we could write resolutions and so I wrote one in regards to trafficking and trying to do research and I couldn’t find anything so I just tried to write one to get people to hear or think about it. We did pass it and it went to the state and when it was part of the state platform, they put it under child abuse. And at that point, I just remember thinking okay, game on I mean, we are going to have to start talking about this and getting people to see that this is really here. Tell me how the Lord opened doors for you to be as impactful as you have been in trying to make a dent in this worldwide problem that is specifically here in America and Texas? Because at the time, I was a homeschool mom and we started to be a little more involved in the governmental realm. I've always been drawn to that. There were friends who started coming into ministry, that dropped in their laps. And so then we started talking about what they were doing and then it just kept snowballing into my daughter one day started working at Sower of Seeds.   We started to research and I came from the Eagle Forum background.  When I was under Phyllis Schlafly, you studied and you knew the issues. And so as it kept unfolding and I was working in Austin and it started opening doors and people say that the left talked about it as the conservatives weren't talking about it, not the Christian women's groups like Eagle Forum were not addressing it and so God gave me an opportunity. And they were very open once we got started and she just gave us opportunities to talk to legislators.   Christian conservatives and women were totally missing the discussion. So those doors started opening and then just having to have a connection.
