Hope in the Advent Season: How Ministries Are Combating Human Trafficking with the Heart of Jesus Part 2 | Ep 21

Time to Transform with Dr Deepa Grandon

The exploitation of vulnerable people isn't something Christ was ever neutral about - He was clear that those who cause them to stumble deserves harsh judgment. In our modern society, children and victims of human traffickings are those vulnerable people we should all work to protect. As the Body of Christ, we're called to hold to that same standard as Jesus - to shine a light in dark places and to help set captives of human trafficking free. We all have the ability to bring hope into this dire situation, and especially in this advent season, one of the ways we can honor God and love his people is to do our part to make a dent in this global crisis. There are so many reason to be hopeful about what the Church is doing - from helping to rescue victims to helping survivors find hope, health, faith and healing. We have the ability to change the lives of millions of people across the globe. In the second part of our special webinar on human trafficking, we hear from more organizations who are on the front lines of helping the vulnerable, and why the Church plays such a huge role in this. Things You'll Learn In This Episode  From victims to survivors and thrivers  One of the most important aspects of helping the exploited is setting them up for a hope-filled future. What are some of the things the organizations here are doing to help people thrive?    The 3 Cs of orphan care Human trafficking and caring for orhpans actually share many challenges. What are organizations doing to help vulnerable and often exploited children?    God's heart for the vulnerable  How can Christians get involved in the fight against human trafficking? What resources can we contribute to?     About Your Host Hosted by Dr. Deepa Grandon, MD MBA, triple board-certified physician with over 23 years of experience working as a Physician Consultant for influential organizations worldwide.

This week, we are reflecting on the fifth and final advent candle: The White Candle, symbolizing that Jesus is here! The word advent means “coming” or “arrival” and speaks of Jesus' arrival that first Christmas morning in Bethlehem. The season of Advent is a time when we joyously and prayerfully anticipate the celebration of Jesus' first coming. And, we look forward to His second coming, while also affirming that He is present in the world today offering His redeeming love to anyone who will simply receive it. One of the most beautiful symbols of the Advent season is the traditional Advent wreath. This Advent wreath is intended to help us keep our focus on the real reason for the season – the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Each Sunday leading up to Christmas, we will be talking about a different candle – representing, in order, hope, peace, joy, and love – although we usually light these candles in our homes, we obviously can't do that on the podcast, but we will still talk about the candles as a way to remember each week in the advent season. Thank you for joining us this year during Advent Season!

Today's discussion centers around the theme of joy, particularly within the context of the Advent season. Derek, Matt, and their guest Maria explore the deeper meaning of joy beyond mere happiness, emphasizing that true joy is rooted in faith and can persist even during difficult times. They reflect on personal experiences, noting how joy can be a powerful anchor amid life's challenges, and share insights on how to cultivate and recognize this joy in everyday life. The conversation also touches on the importance of vulnerability in relationships and the communal aspect of faith, encouraging listeners to both seek and share joy with others. As they navigate through various perspectives on joy, the episode serves as a reminder that joy is a profound gift that can transform our outlook, especially during the holiday season.Takeaways: Joy is a deep-rooted emotion that transcends mere happiness and temporary feelings. Understanding joy as a fruit of the spirit helps us cultivate it in our lives. The celebration of Advent allows us to reflect on deeper meanings of joy and hope. Even during tough times, joy can exist alongside our struggles and challenges. Sharing our vulnerabilities with trusted friends can create opportunities for deeper connections. The true essence of joy comes from recognizing God's control over our lives. Companies mentioned in this episode: Mercy Me Pentatonix

Scott Erickson Paints an Honest Picture of an Advent Season of Hope

As we journey into this Advent season, Scott Erickson, better known to most by his moniker in the internet and art world as Scott the Painter, discusses his journey of faith and the creation of his 'Honest Advent,' project aimed at reinterpreting traditional Christmas narratives through a lens of vulnerability and authenticity. He reflects on the paradoxes of belief, the importance of community, and the need for honest conversations about faith and the human experience, particularly during the Advent season. With a great deal of compassion and humor, Scott shares insights into his creative process, the significance of connection in his work (which has resonated so deeply with his community that many have it tattooed on their bodies), and the need for honest spiritual experiences in today's world. His work is not just visually beautiful. It's also meaningful, bringing a beautiful new approach to an old and familiar story. Thought-provoking Quotes: “As an artist, I love the brand of Christmas – red and green, complimentary colors. I love the music – the soundtrack, I love all of it. But I thought, is this a distraction from life or is this a hopeful message for the reality of it?” – Scott Erickson “I want to know if I should just give up on my beliefs. If God's not in the world and this isn't a story that's happening, then I just want to move on. But, if we are celebrating this thing and if it is happening, then that's what my invitation is. By going through those things, and thinking through, and praying through, and then creating out of it, the fact that it then becomes a path for others to walk, that's the greatest gift in making art.” – Scott Erickson  “It's amazing, the alchemy of what happens when you hand the work over and then it becomes something new in the hands of your audience and the people that are experiencing it and they bring a story to it that you couldn't even fathom. You've done your part, you did the creation part, stewarding your gift, putting it out there to the best of your ability and then they take it and it becomes something more. I'll never get over that exchange.” – Jen Hatmaker Resources Mentioned in This Episode: FitBit - https://store.google.com/category/trackers Scott's Tattoo FAQ - https://www.scottericksonart.com/tattoo-faq Say Yes: Discover the Surprising Life beyond the Death of a Dream by Scott Erickson - https://amzn.to/3AEVfao Scott Erickson's Shows - https://www.scottericksonart.com/shows The Enneagram Institute Personality Types - https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/type-descriptions/ Honest Advent: Awakening to the Wonder of God-with-Us Then, Here, and Now by Scott Erickson - https://amzn.to/4fgK6fc Guest's Links: Scott's website - https://www.scottericksonart.com/ Scott's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/scottthepainter Scott's Twitter - https://x.com/scottthepainter Scott's Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/scottthepainter Scott's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@scottericksonart Scott's Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/scottthepainter/_created/ Connect with Jen!

Welcome to this year's Christmas episode! This isn't a business-related podcast today—it's a fun, friend-to-friend chat with plenty of practical ideas to help you enjoy the Christmas holiday season. We're talking about Christmas tradition ideas, both with and without kids, and specifically ways to bring God more into the season. I've got seven tradition ideas to share, and I'll talk about each one based on things like how old your kids are or whether you have kids at all. For context, I have two kids, and my oldest is almost three and a half, so that's the age range I have in mind for some of these. But many of them work really well for older kids or even just for you and your whole family. This episode is filled with inspiration for making the holiday season more intentional, joyful, and Christ-centered. Whether you're a parent, a couple, or celebrating solo, you'll find ideas to bring new life to your Christmas traditions.Links mentioned: Read the full shownotes (with all the links!): https://elizabethmccravy.com/296 Shop Showit Website Templates: https://elizabethmccravy.com/shop Not sure which template is right for you?
