Empowering Survivors: Katrina Terry's Fight Against Child Trafficking

Send us Fan MailOn the newest episode of The Still Waters Podcast, Teri interviews Indianapolis-based nonprofit leader Katrina Terry, founder of Lion 195 Against Trafficking and Resilient Gemstones. Katrina shares her history of childhood kidnapping and sexual abuse, later assault in the military, and how healing through Jesus led her to help others. She describes work with trafficked children, including advocacy, policy efforts, and plans for trauma-informed ranches, citing claims of fewer than 300 U.S. beds for trafficked children and that many end up in foster care. The conversation covers trafficking warning signs, online/gaming risks intensified after COVID, practical parent monitoring, and how to support survivors by believing them, taking action, and providing resources, prayer, and safety checks.To learn more about the organizations mentioned in the episode, check out the following links:LION195 Website: www.lion195.orgLION195 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lion195orgLION195 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lion195org/All things Resilient Gemstones: https://linktr.ee/resilientgemstones 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro00:47 Katrina Nonprofit Mission02:44 Her Trauma Journey05:01 From Healing to Calling05:59 Strip Club Outreach Insights06:53 The Bed Shortage Crisis08:34 Trafficking Myths and Foster Care11:19 Building Ranches and Advocacy12:43 Resilient Gemstones Explained15:31 Forgiveness and Self Forgiveness17:42 Altar Healing Testimony20:45 Letting Go of Control23:02 Spotting Trafficking Signs24:39 Behavioral Red Flags25:38 When to Make the Call27:27 Online Grooming Reality29:03 Monitoring Without Fear32:44 Digital Risk35:01 Supporting Survivors Well35:39 Why Belief Matters40:46 Shame and Repeated Trauma45:15 Hope and Healing Closing Contact The Still Waters Team www.stillwaterslife.comEmail us at:[email protected]@[email protected]@[email protected]@stillwaterslife.comLet us help you find healing and wellness at The Still Waters.
