    BL Episode 18: Sex Trafficking

    Today I am speaking with Lisa McGuinness, CEO of South East Asia Rescue Coalition and Haven (SEARCH) -- a non-profit formed to protect victims of sex trafficking in Myanmar. Lisa discusses how she became involved in this mission and how God prompted her to step out in faith, and contribute to this organization. She discusses how she initially was not at all interested in going on a mission trip to Thailand to visit a safe house. However, after hearing about the work the church was doing, she felt prompted by God to be a part of this experience. Her mission trip transformed her life and God clearly used this experience to speak to her. She has no doubt that God led her to volunteer and help give a grass-roots organization, stability and direction. Although Lisa's background in the publishing business gave her fundamental knowledge in building a business, she relies on God daily to accomplish the multiple tasks that are involved in growing this company. I so admire her desire to help these women. Her story is a true step of trust and bravery. Lisa's heart and trust in God to help her and her colleagues grow SEARCH from the embryo-stage it is currently in, to the God-destined path it will become in the future, is inspiring. If you feel prompted to help SEARCH, either through prayer, or a financial contribution, please send her a note and let her know. Please send correspondence to: SEARCH, in care of Hillside Covenant Church, 2060 Magnolia Way, Walnut Creek, CA 94595. I hope you enjoy this discussion with Lisa. If you are enjoying this podcast, please drop me a message. I would love to hear from you. You can reach me at www.braveliving.blog or at Instagram at @braveliving_pz.

    BL Episode 12: Anna LeBaron

    Join me as I talk to Anna LeBaron, author of The Polygamist's Daughter. Anna is one of 50 siblings that grew up in a polygamist cult led by her father, Ervil LeBaron: known as the 'Mormon Manson.' Her father ordered the murders of multiple people, and unbeknownst to young Anna, had her family constantly running from the law. Anna lived in multiple places, often having to leave in the middle of the night, grabbing what little she could, just to survive. For years, Anna and her siblings had to scrounge for food and clothes; all the while being told that she was God's chosen family. At age 13, something inside broke, and Anna decided to leave. Before her mother could usher in yet another move, Anna put on her Gloria Vanderbilt jeans, and escaped her father's cult. For years, Anna lived in fear; but God took hold of Anna's life and transformed her from the inside out. God had a plan for Anna, just like he has a plan for each of us. Anna's story is amazing and it has the fingerprints of God all over it. Even though we may not have lived the life Anna has, we can most certainly relate to childhood wounds, insecurity, and fears that inhibit our lives. Today Anna talks about how she was able to leave her past, drop her insecurity, and become the woman God planned all along. I believe today's conversation will encourage all of us to stop and notice how God is at work in our lives today. You can find Anna's book on Amazon or anywhere books are sold. It is a riveting story that you most certainly don't want to miss! You can find Anna by going to her website or following her on social media. All the links are listed below. I hope you find this story encouraging and it helps you to make brave choices. If you are enjoying this podcast, please rate and leave a review.
