BRAVE

BRAVE is about hard conversations in light of rescuing girls from the enemy's grip. Where and how we have these conversations matters and Amber wrestles with the idea that we might be missing the mark on what discipleship is.  This is only part of the conversation to help uncover where we could build better bridges to the next generation of women.  Discipleship is hard and messy and that may be why many of us aren't doing it.  Let's talk about it. Welcome to the BRAVE podWhere we have conversations that matter to grow a task force that fights against the spiritual trafficking of our girls. We are Bold Redeemed Anointed Victorious and Eternal and it’s race against the enemy for her heart. The time is now to go on the Great Rescue, I am your host Amber Johns, let’s talk about it.

We sit down with Dove Music award winner, Yancy to discuss her newest ministry, "Stained Glass Kids" . She discusses her love to build the church and because she was a "PK" kid she knows the challenges and the gifts that life brings.  "God is good, even when His people aren't, never confuse the two."  Is on her website as she seeks to build conversation around something that's not often talked about.   Though she is most known for her music, her heart is also for the PK kids out there.   We hope you enjoy this amazing conversation!For more about Stained Glass Kids please visit https://yancyministries.com/stainedglasskids/Welcome to the BRAVE podWhere we have conversations that matter to grow a task force that fights against the spiritual trafficking of our girls.

The humble beginning of Child's Voice is a beautiful story of an obedient heart to meet a need. The Mandsager family has made it their mission to rescue, support and educate (especially girls) in Uganda from trafficking.  Their home base is in New Hampshire, their hearts are in Uganda. Our interview with now CEO, Nathan Mandsager, has been associated with ChildVoice from the very beginning, accompanying his father, ChildVoice founder Conrad Mandsager, on the first exploratory trip to northern Uganda in 2006 when the rebel army was still engaged in humanitarian atrocities in the region. Nathan’s passion for the mission of restoring the voices of children silenced by war has allowed him to play a role with ChildVoice in a variety of ways over the years: leading mission teams, engaging partners, fundraising, board leadership, and now serving as CEO.   www.childsvoice.org to learn more and to donate. Welcome to the BRAVE podWhere we have conversations that matter to grow a task force that fights against the spiritual trafficking of our girls.
