When one woman says “yes,” the ripple can reach across oceans. In this inspiring episode, Tracy sits down with Anne from Edinburgh, Scotland, whose life was forever changed by a simple invitation to host an awareness night. What followed was a 28-mile walk, over £10,000 raised, and a community awakened to the reality of human trafficking.

Prayer resource mentioned:
Disturb us, Lord, when
We are too pleased with ourselves,
When our dreams have come true
Because we dreamed too little,
When we arrived safely
Because we sailed too close to the shore.
Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly,
To venture on wilder seas
Where storms will show Your mastery;
Where losing sight of land,
We shall find the stars. Amen.
-Sir Francis Drake 1577-

One of the best parts of the Freedom Challenge is the vibrancy of generational connections. This episode gives insight into how the intense environment of a challenge creates and strengthens relationships between older and younger women. Women leave the events with life-long friendships they wouldn’t of pursued without this experience, and mothers and daughters who participate together build a stronger bond.
Excerpts from the episode:
"We had one woman on the team who was certainly several decades older than a group of us young girls. I remember we were gleaning wisdom from her the entire time asking about her marriage, asking about her family, her life, the way that she lived and the decision she made." - Drew Walsh
"What I remember most was the help and the tender care, being almost 73 and feeling a little bit wobbly and in some cases a fall risk, of the two [younger] women coming alongside to help me cross a river. That that was an encouragement to me and a fond memory." - Barbara Christensen

What is beauty? Why is beauty important? How is beauty distorted? Listen to understand beauty through a new and impactful perspective. A bonus episode that we thought our beautiful listeners needed to hear!
"A strange thing to me is that God has not just been highlighting His beauty or general beauty but my beauty. I said to Him, 'I'll believe you, but I don't understand why it matters.' To which He responded, 'If you don't think you are beautiful what does that make Me? You have been made to image Me.' As I pondered this, I realized just how much the enemy and this world has attacked beauty and love in general and my beauty and my love specifically." -Ruth Willett

"A lady came to us at the age of 58. She said she didn't have a chance to go to school or a chance to have a child in her life. She said women would laugh at her, they say she's barren, and has no skills. I told her Tabitha is made for people like you. She started doing the sewing training and she never missed a day or a class. Last year, The Tabitha ministry gave her a machine and she uses it from home... she told me she will use it to make clothes for the fellow poor people in the community and when she sells something she wants to send somebody to school. I said wow God, I think you have done something in the life of this lady. When I look at that I see we have not wasted our time" - Pharen Mulusa
