After experiencing, both personally and professionally, the struggles of addiction and its effects on loved ones, Michael was inspired to provide a specialized care for people who are struggling with their own, or a loved one’s, sexual addiction. In this episode we talk about everything related to sexual addiction - how it effects us, our communities, our relationships and how it relates to exploitation.

June 30, 2023 Just Because It Looks Healthy, Doesn't Mean It Is - Deanna, Survivor
After overcoming a traumatic upbringing and escaping the sex industry, Deanna sought healing from a residential program for exploited and trafficked women. She has a Master's Degree from Asbury Theological Seminary and has authored two books which we discuss quite a bit in this conversation. Actually, we talk about EVERYTHING in this conversation from what it's really like to be a porn star to how porn culture is affecting our relationships inside and outside the church, and so much more. Buckle up! This is a good one, but if you are triggered by some graphic sexual content, this may not be for you - or grab a trusted mentor and listen together.

January 31, 2023 Daughters And Sons - Jen, Phil and Wellington, Hope Ministries
Hey friends, remember Jen and Phil from our very first episode in 2021? If not, go check it out, and then listen in on this convicting conversation with them and their dear friend Wellington. Wellington and his wife Deanna have been with Jen and Phil as they've walked alongside women on the streets of Brazil since almost the very beginning. Although you will normally find Wellington behind the scenes figuring out all the technology or studying the Bible, we managed to get him to show his face and my goodness - get ready to be convicted ya'll! This episode will catch you up on what Hope Ministries, the coffee company you helped fund, and make you squirm in your seat (in the best way!)

Today on the podcast we have one more ethical company to help you get that Christmas list stroked off, and they are LOCAL! (To southwestern Ontario). Jan Gerrie is one of the owners of Her Hope Shop, but she is also a full-time student of Psychology at Redeemer University, as well as a part-time PSW in long term care. She loves farms and cities, books and coffee and cats and is most certain that there will be ALL of the above in Heaven.

And this, she does! We go there in this episode - and we are both enneagram 4's - so get cozy and enjoy!
