In this episode, Terri and I dive into what the mission of her organization is, how to use hospitality on mission, and a little bit about sexual exploitation, especially that of children. This topic is heavy, but it is real and she gives us a little insight into how these children are exploited and groomed. So, whether you want to jot down some notes on protecting children or you want to know how you can use the gifts you already have to advocate, this episode is going to encourage you that the Lord has already placed in you what you need to do this work.Terri answers questions like...What is the "recipe" for having healthy, effective conversations that could actually lead to change?Why does a topic like sex trafficking and hospitality work so well together?How do we protect ourselves from compassion fatigue or even burnout?Terri Ingraham is the founder and visionary for beLydia, an anti-trafficking non-profit based in Austin, Texas. beLydia uses hospitality to work to prevent child sex trafficking. She is a wife, mother of two, stepmother of three, grandmother ("Tutu") of four, and dog mom to three crazy dogs.

Advocacy + Hospitality with Terri Ingraham

We all know the benefits of hospitality: human connection, community building, relationship bonding. However, our ability to be hospitable can have a larger effect—one that brings awareness to the plight of others and leads us into ways we can help limit human suffering. One issue that gets a lot of attention on a global scale is the issue of human trafficking, but what many of us don’t realize this huge problem isn’t just happening overseas, but in our own backyards. Law enforcement says the number-one way to fight human trafficking is to raise awareness around the issue. That’s why today’s guest, Terri Ingraham, founded the nonprofit beLydia, which empowers women to raise awareness around human trafficking. beLydia equips people to facilitate ways to talk about this issue and learn what it looks like in your neighborhood, what to do if you see it, and how you can help prevent it. In our discussion today, Terri is going to educate and inform us, and walk us through how we can fight this problem by opening up the conversation with our neighbors. [Parents, this is a tough topic. We’re going to talk about some situations right off the bat regarding the horrors of human trafficking, which may not be suitable for younger kids.]
