    Leading with Light in Business and Ministry: An Interview with Ruth Hoffman

    Ruth's trauma story is not your typical Adverse Childhood Experience, but it changed the trajectory of Ruth's life. It transformed her understanding of grace and forgiveness. It taught her to embrace God's love in all its fullness. It shaped her into the leader she is today. And ultimately, it became her story of healing and recovery. Ruth shares that story vulnerably in this episode. After years in the corporate world, Ruth stepped into the calling she had always felt on her life, and founded Brilliant Light International, a ministry organization that provides Christ-centered trauma recovery and trauma-informed church services to women who have survived trafficking, abuse, and imprisonment. Aside from her ministry in Arizona, Ruth's organization has partnered with pastors in India to share the good news about Jesus and help them grow churches in rural villages. This episode covers big topics including mental health, medical trauma, forgiveness, business leadership, and the enemy's tactics against leaders in ministry. Listen in and be blessed.

    Finding Power Through Creativity & Community: An Interview with Keiko Ratcliffe

    Welcome to the first episode of Season 5! Join us as we speak with Keiko Ratcliffe, founder and CEO of Skye's the Limit! Foundation, an orginization that empowers youth and families through creativity and connection. In 2014, Keiko lost her daughter, Skye, to a drug overdose.

    Shalom and the Process of 'Wholing': An Interview with Dr. Andy Mainiero

    Andy Mainiero's missional experience started with obedience and small beginnings. He started house churches and clubs for youth. These ministries grew, and as they grew, so did Andy's awareness of trauma and its impact. But when Andy and his wife adopted children from the foster care system, he dove into learning all he could about trauma--or more importantly, what it means to be trauma transformed. Today, Andy is an assistant professor of mission theology at Fuller Seminary, and the founder and director of the Shalom Gospel Network—a global impact network that promotes and facilitates trauma-transforming mission and ministry. Listen in as Andy shares his biblical interpretation of Shalom, wholeness, and what it looks like to enjoy wholeness in the midst of pain. "Shalom is the way things were meant to be..it's never fully complete. It's an ongoing journey of wholing all our parts, putting them back together into its intended shalom." What better way to close the year than with an episode focused on Shalom. Join us for our final episode of 2025!  To connect with Andy: ajmainiero2@gmail.com

    Choosing the Freedom of Forgiveness & Beauty: An Interview with Amber Hunter Jesse

    Amber knew profound grief from an early age. First, it was her parent's divorce. Then her father went to prison to serve a life sentence. Four months after receiving a cancer diagnosis, her mother died from cancer. All of this happened before Amber graduated from high school.  From an Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) perspective, Amber could have sought people, places, or behaviors that compounded her suffering, but instead, Amber sought beauty, goodness, and relationships. She joined the Apprenticeship to Jesus community; she met Sanghoon Yoo and accepted his invitation of mentorship; she wrote songs and stories rooted in healing and hope. And when it was time, Amber chose forgiveness over anger. Listen in as Amber shares her incredible story with vulnerability and wisdom. Amber and her husband, Justan, live in the Phoenix area with their twin daughters and son. With her children all in school, Amber is investing more time in her creative side.

    Post-traumatic Growth & Pioneering a Trauma-informed Culture: An Interview with Tammy Abernethy

    Tammy grew up in a Christian family dedicated to ministry and education, which for their family meant moving. A lot. By the age of 13, Tammy had moved 32 times, an experience that taught her the value of connection and community. Later in adulthood, after a divorce from an abusive marriage, Tammy also learned the value of vulnerability, and it was the power of these three together that ushered her into post-traumatic growth and transformation. Today, Tammy is sharing her transformation and helping other women experience their own. She's the CEO of Hope Women's Center, a resource and referral center for women and teen girls that has 7 physical centers and 50 mobile centers across the state of Arizona. Fun fact: HWC is considered Arizona's first faith-based, trauma-informed organization, and it was Tammy, Sanghoon, and Michelle who worked collaboratively to create HWC's trauma-informed culture back in 2018. Listen in as the three of them talk about what it looks like to implement trauma-informed procedures, language, and teams in real time - and without a textbook.

    Never Too Late to Choose Freedom: An Interview with Rose Ann Forte

    From an early age, Rose Ann lived the party life. Decades later, as a wife, mom, and high-level executive, she found Jesus, but she couldn't find a reason to give up alcohol. Most programs required complete abstinence from substance use, but they couldn't explain the neuroscience behind addiction. Shortly after a divorce from a toxic marriage, Rose Ann found a program that psychologically and scientifically addressed substance use - and it worked for her. Throughout her recovery, she began applying the wisdom of Scripture - and that worked for her. So she blended her love of science and God's Word and created a program to help others find freedom from the psychological slavery of substances. Today, Rose Ann is an award-winning author of three books, a speaker, and the course creator of the Choose Freedom® Program. She's made it her mission to inspire people to renew their minds, rewire their brains, and experience true freedom in Christ. As she likes to tell people, "It's never too late." Listen in as Rose Ann shares her transformation story with honesty and confidence. If you're looking to take the next step toward freedom, or if you're hoping to guide someone toward the next step, this episode is for you.   For Rose Ann's Website:  www.choosefreedom.today For Rose Ann's Books:  www.choosefreedom.today/books  For the 'Say Goodbye and Imagine!'
