In this episode, I get to share some insights about my recent work trip in Europe where I visited Greece, Bulgaria, and Germany. As a videographer, I was documenting work going on that serves women and girls being rescued from human trafficking, Ukrainian refugees, and people far from God in Germany and France.

Faith-based charities you can pray for and support financially:

Crisis Aid
Crisis Aid concentrates efforts in East Africa and the United States serving children and families who are in crisis situations. Whether it be famine, disease, natural disaster, or sex trafficking, Crisis Aid is there. SAVING LIVES, SAVING SOULS AND CHANGING FUTURES. We are committed to “helping the helpless” with relief efforts local and global."

Short Creek Dream Center
The Short Creek Dream Center exists to serve the twin towns of Hildale and Colorado City as they continue to grow, heal, and transform. From transitional housing, recovery, community outreach and helping combat the effects of poverty the Dream Center exists to help find and fill the needs of the Short Creek Community and beyond. Our heart is to be supportive to anyone who is on a healing journey. We are also passionate about being a place of refuge for anyone leaving or escaping environments that would be considered abusive or oppressive.

A21
We exist to abolish human slavery. And with your help, we will.

Convoy of Hope
When you link arms with Convoy of Hope to provide disaster relief, hurting people receive the help and strength they need to get back on their feet. Convoy is committed to helping as much as possible, for as long as possible.

My next guest, Aubray Scott is so genuine, kept me laughing, and shared honestly about the hard parts she endured in her life.  Even after finding rock bottom, she hoped the church would be a safe place.  And it wasn't.  But even still, God was with Aubray and His faithfulness has continued to be evident in so many facets of her life.

One thing I was so thankful for is her heart for people and community.  Being someone who has been uninvited caused her to share her table and life with so many.  "No matter what age, God still wants to use us!" says, Aubray.  That is the kind of attitude and hope I pray for more in this world.  God wants to use us even in the broken places of our hearts and souls.

*Aubray references rape and sexual abuse in our conversation. If this is triggering for you please feel free to skip ahead during marker 7:31 - 9:50.

Reflection Questions:
1. Kinsugi Pottery - How have you seen God fill in the broken spaces or cracks of your life with gold?

2. What can you do today to be obedient to him?
