    Christine Trimpe's Freedom Story!

    In this episode, I sit down with Christine Trimpe, author of SugarFreed: Stop Losing the Weight Loss Battle, Start Gaining the Victory, to hear her powerful testimony of transformation—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Christine opens up about her years of struggling with yo-yo diets, emotional eating, and spiritual apathy. She shares how a moment of frustration on a mountain trail in Colorado led her to surrender her health, life, and cravings to God. From that pivotal point, Christine embraced a sugar-free lifestyle that restored her physical health, rewired her brain, and deepened her relationship with Jesus. Christine talks about: • The spiritual freedom that comes from relying on God instead of unhealthy coping mechanisms. • Her journey to lasting joy and her life verse, Psalm 4:7: “You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound.” • How she now empowers women as a health coach to step into the freedom Christ offers, physically and spiritually. • Her latest book, SugarFreed, which invites readers to release cravings for worldly comfort and anchor their hearts in God’s goodness. Christine reminds us that freedom in Christ transforms every area of life—and it’s never too late to let Him into your story. Bio: Christine Trimpe is a transformative wellness leader dedicated to empowering professional Christian women to reclaim their health and vitality through her faith-based, holistic approach to weight loss.

    Embrace the Journey: Fighting Modern Slavery One Life at a Time with Becky Murray!

    January is National Human Trafficking Awareness Month. I think that this powerful episode will make you stop and really think about how this is a problem, not just in large cities, but also could be in your own backyard. Today, I sit down with Becky Murray, the founder of One By One and author of Embrace the Journey. Becky shares her incredible story of growing up in a Christian home, her journey of faith, and the life-changing moment that led her to dedicate her life to ending modern slavery. Becky recounts the heartbreaking encounter with a 9-year-old girl in Africa that revealed the harsh realities of child exploitation. This moment became the catalyst for One By One, a nonprofit organization that fights human trafficking, provides resources for vulnerable children, and addresses issues like period poverty through initiatives such as The Dignity Project. We also discuss the incredible work of the Mercy Center, a safe haven for girls rescued from trafficking and exploitation. Becky shares how One By One not only rescues but also rehabilitates and empowers these young survivors, helping them find healing and equipping them with skills for a brighter future. Key topics include: Becky’s personal journey of faith and her heart for vulnerable children. The story behind the founding of One By One. The Dignity Project: addressing period poverty and preventing trafficking. The Mercy Center: rescuing, healing, and empowering young survivors. How each of us can make an impact by loving our neighbors and standing against injustice. This episode is a testament to the power of one moment, one life, and one act of faith to bring hope and transformation. Bio: Becky Murray is the founder and CEO of One By One. Her life was transformed in 2006 when a young girl she bought a pair of shoes for on the streets of Sierra Leone assumed she wanted sexual favours in return. This moment sparked the formation of One By One, and after acquiring land in Africa in 2009, One By One Kenya opened its doors in 2012. Becky is also the founder of the Dignity Project and is the host of Embrace The Journey, to be seen on TBN UK. She has spoken at both the White House and 10 Downing Street and has appeared on the BBC and many other media outlets. She is married to Matthew and the couple have one son, Josiah. ABOUT ONE BY ONE One By One is a charity with a heart for the vulnerable across the world. Formed in 2011 by Becky Murray, One By One’s first project was its residential facility in Kenya which aims to rehouse and give hope to children that otherwise would be living in abject poverty. More recently, a rescue centre was built near to South Asia, housing victims of human trafficking. There are more than 3 million people in slavery in this nation, being forced to work in some of the country’s 20,000 brick kilns. One By One has a heart to reach, rescue and restore lives across South Asia. The charity also runs a widows’ programme in North Sri Lanka, working with women whose husbands were killed in the brutal civil war. In addition, The Dignity Project – that provides teenage girls with re-usable sanitary items and education – was formed in 2015, and has now expanded to nine countries. Nearly 45,000 girls have been reached through the Dignity Project since its launch in the Houses of Parliament. Most recently we have started a project within Jinja Uganda, where our focus is on educating the local community and health care professionals on the dangers and signs of Human Trafficking. In addition to this we have expanded the Dignity Project to become a year long curriculum that is delivered across schools within Jinja. One By One is a registered charity in the UK and a registered 501(c)(3) in the USA. All funds given to either entity are governed by One By One’s executive team and are restricted for use in One By One’s ongoing projects across the world.
