What does it look like to step into hard places—and stay?

In this powerful conversation, Tracy Daugherty sits down with Freedom Sister Wheeler Fisher, who has spent nearly a decade walking alongside women impacted by trafficking. From her early days in Kansas to frontline work with survivors in San Diego, Wheeler shares what advocacy really looks like behind the scenes—both the heartbreak and the hope.

You’ll hear how one encounter changed everything, why choosing to “show up for the one” matters more than fixing everything, and how healing can look slow, messy, and deeply beautiful.

This episode also offers practical encouragement for anyone engaging in this space—how to stay tender, care for your soul, and continue showing up without becoming overwhelmed or numb.

You don’t have to solve everything, but you can still make a difference.

In this powerful conversation, host Tracy Daugherty sits down with Jeannie Hudspeth, a first-time participant of the Arkansas One-Day Freedom Challenge, to unpack why this event was so much more than she expected.

Jeannie shares how a simple Google search led her into a life-changing experience marked by genuine community, embodied prayer, and a deeper understanding of biblical justice. As an anti–human trafficking prevention educator with the Set Me Free Project, Jeannie also offers practical insight into how trafficking actually happens today—and what parents, churches, and communities can do to prevent it.

Together, Tracy and Jeannie explore:

• Why Freedom Challenge events are experiences, not just events
• The power of corporate prayer and worship in the fight for freedom
• How focusing on one face instead of statistics changes everything
• Why prevention begins with teaching intrinsic, God-given worth
• How worship becomes a spiritual battleground where God brings victory

This episode will encourage and invite you to gaze at Jesus while boldly engaging a broken world—together.
