Lessons from Living Beth Graham

A child grows up thinking the life she leads, in which she is used as a commodity by those she trusts, is the way everyone lives. Around 200,000 children are exploited by sex traffickers in the U.S. annually; 50% of these victims suffer at the hands of family they know and love. Kellie is a brave young woman who was the victim of familial trafficking for 26 years of her life. While many would suffer in silence, she has opted to educate others, and advocate on the behalf of victims.

Jeff Le knows something about Afghanistan, having worked and served there, alongside Afghani friends and allies.  We discuss the withdrawal, the peril his friends remain in, the future of Afghanistan, and refugee life, seen through the eyes of a man whose family exited Vietnam during Saigon's fall.

Kristy Thomas has encountered adversity in life, but counters it with positivity and a plan.  As an independent woman who values relationships, she has traveled extensively, maintained interesting hobbies, and generously shared her time and talents with others. Kristy is nothing short of fascinating!
