Episode DescriptionIn this episode of the Lead Ministry Podcast, Josh Denhart and Vance Martin unpack the VIP Huddle—an intentional 5–10 minute pre-service gathering designed to align volunteers around Vision, essential Information, and Prayer. They share practical rhythms that make huddles unmissable and show how these moments become a training ground for future leaders. If you've ever felt like pre-service meetings are stale or poorly attended, this episode will equip and inspire you to design huddles people value—and won't want to miss.Key Topics CoveredVIP Defined (Vision • Information • Prayer) – A simple framework that scales across ministries. Make It Worth Showing Up – Why attendance is feedback, and how to add real value. God-Stories as Vision Fuel – Capture, curate, and share weekly stories of transformation. Information that Sticks – One timely reminder beats a five-item list. Prayer that Fits the Moment – Use “one-word needs” to keep prayer focused and inclusive. Start and End on Time – Honor volunteers, build culture, and train leaders by modeling brevity. Key Quote“Be brief, brother, be brief… one vision thing, one piece of information, and heartfelt prayer.” Scripture ReferencesHebrews 10:24–25 – “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works… encouraging one another.”1 Peter 1:12–13 (cf. 2 Peter 1:12–13 principle) – “I intend always to remind you… to stir you up by way of reminder.”Colossians 4:2 – “Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.”TakeawayTreat the huddle as the most strategic 10 minutes of your Sunday. Share one clear vision, one crucial detail, and pray with intention. Capture God-stories, schedule topics ahead, and invite others to lead parts of the huddle. The result: volunteers feel seen, aligned, and ready to serve.Call to ActionWe hope this episode encourages and equips you.

Welcome to Witness Wednesday. Today's witness is from the KLOVE.com website. I love their radio station. Their Music and their DJs are the best. I have been hearing them mention for a while now that they have a tab on their website that is titled God Stories. I thought I would bring you one of these stories today. It is about a woman who started an organization called HER campaign. Here is what I found about this organization on their website.HER Campaign began with a simple but profound mission: to help survivors of human trafficking heal, grow, and find purpose. Since our founding in 2016, we have walked alongside survivors and their families, offering a continuum of care that includes crisis intervention, emergency stabilization, and transitional living programs.Our roots are in Billings, Montana, where we started with a single safe house. Over the years, we've expanded to include emergency stabilization programs and advocacy efforts. We believe every survivor has inherent worth, and we are committed to serving them with dignity, respect, and love.Today, I am sharing with you part of a podcast episode she did. CLICK HERE for the link to the website. You can also just go to KLOVE.com and click on God stories. Here is her story.Britney Higgs is one determined woman and a determined follower of Jesus Christ. On foot, she traveled nearly 600 miles from Billings, Montana, to Denver to raise awareness and support for the fight against human trafficking - and the important need to care for those who have been trafficked.“Walking that route was significant on many levels. That interstate corridor is a well-known trafficking route. Traffickers exploit highways and transportation systems for control, from recruitment to moving victims across state lines, especially in areas like Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado, where remote roads and interstate access offer anonymity and opportunity for those who traffic people in darkness. And so, this walk for me wasn't just between two cities. It was to take back ground and prayerfully asking that the Lord would stop the trafficking that is happening between these two areas.” Britney rates the severity of human trafficking in the U.S. as an eight-out-of-ten  “It's more widespread than most people realize. It happens in cities, suburbs, and rural areas. But the encouraging part is that God is raising up his church every day, believers to answer this issue in their own communities.” She explains the route she walked and prayed over “is between our two HER Campaign locations, two sanctuaries of healing connected by a road that sadly sees human lives treated like commodities. So, we just made sure that we were walking and partnering with the Lord to say, ‘this will not happen here anymore!'”  Britney is deeply involved in the ‘take back' process as founder of the HER Campaign, which has created two safe homes, one in Billings, the other in Denver, with plans for another location in the Nashville area. The non-profit provides a critical gap service: emergency stabilization programs that offer survivors immediate safety, medical care, counseling, and holistic support.“The first thing a survivor experiences in one of our safe homes is safety. Imagine a woman stepping into a home where, for the first time in a long time, she has a community that is working towards her safety in the mind, body, and spirit to where she can truly rest for the first time… in usually years. We meet her immediate needs. We provide food, clothing, and medical care, and then we surround her with counseling, case management, full body health practices, and prayer. We are at the cutting edge of a program that looks at survivors comprehensively, providing those medical, clinical, and spiritual aspects to really come alongside her and help her to heal, grow, and find purpose.” "HER Campaign is my ‘yes' to him [God] that is creating safe places for women to experience his healing love," Britney explained the origins and core mission of her organization as a response to a personal call from God.HER Campaign Mission: Bridging the gap between rescue and freedom"We do hear that there is an estimated 300,000 children who are trafficked every year in the United States, and that is not even hitting the adults who are being trafficked. So, we know that this is a huge issue, but that is one that we are called to come alongside right now."She highlighted a severe lack of resources in communities, noting there were only about 2,600 beds available nationwide specifically for trafficking survivors.Combating human trafficking requires collective action and awareness from the entire community, particularly the church, explains Britney.At HER Campaign's safe homes, there are numerous success stories. “One mom came to us broken, having been trafficked since she was a teenager. She went through her emergency stabilization program and a drug recovery program, and today she's reunited with her children and has stepped into a job she loves. Another woman stabilized in our emergency shelter down in Denver, Colorado, and then she entered into a long-term program and is thriving as she works on healing. Through that continuum of care, we have seen so many women graduate from our programs who get married, have children, and build careers they are passionate about. These stories remind us that these women are made in the image of God and that nothing is wasted and he is seeking after each and every one of them to remind them of who they truly are and to help them walk into the destiny that he set before them before the beginning of time.”“I am a firm believer that God speaks to us today, whether that is through his word or the way that he speaks to us personally. And since the moment that we started on our own healing journey, God has shown up in the most miraculous ways to help us keep us on this path. And it is in the moments of turmoil when we ask the Lord and we start to doubt God, ‘Did you really ask me to do this?' I can go back to those pillars of knowing that he spoke in that moment. And it was undeniable. We have seen God provide dollar for dollar what we needed exactly when we needed it. Miraculously, we've had people show up at our doors with checks who have never met us before, but knew that because God told them we needed provision for something. We've had divine appointments with just the right person at just the right moment, and at the very beginning of the HER Campaign, we were walking out in the hills in eastern Montana with our kiddos and out of nowhere I felt like I had this lightning strike in my heart and I got this vision of what a safe house would look like and I just knew that we needed to start it!”(Richard asks) Going back to the very long walk, the 580 miles, I understand your husband was with you for protection with the RV, but you also had a 'friend' named Freedom?(Britney) "Yes. Freedom is a miniature Nigerian goat. And when we were sitting down talking about this walk and how to really raise up a nationwide movement to get people's attention, somebody jokingly shot out, 'Hey Brit, I think you should carry a baby goat.' And we've had goats at our residential programs before. I absolutely love goats. We've raised them. And so what became a joke actually became reality or what was a joke became reality. And so yes, I had freedom walk with me. We took major precautions to make sure that she only walked what her little legs could handle during the day, but we trained her to follow me. And I can tell you that she is thriving, she's doing great. Now that the walk is over, she is just grazing and living her best life at her property in Denver.”Thank you so much to Britney and her organization for doing such important work and for making such a difference in so many people's lives. Thank you for being a light when all they have seen is darkness. Thank you to KLOVE for sharing this and other God stories with the world.

Send us a textWelcome to God-sized Stories!I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Dodge—a passionate church leader, author, and missionary whose own journey to faith began as a university student right here in the Midwest. Together, we touch on his remarkable story of coming to Christ, his calling to reach students on campuses across the world, and the meaningful church planting work he's been a part of, both here in the US and in the rural villages of Zambia.We also dive deep into his brand new book, “Gospel 201,” the much-anticipated follow-up to the best-selling “Gospel 101.” Dr. Dodge shares powerful insights on why a true understanding of the Gospel begins with grasping the heart of God's story from Genesis onward. We explore Jesus' parable of the sower and the seed—how it challenges us not just to hear, but to really listen and allow God's Word to take root in our lives in a way that bears fruit. We talk about the hurdles of a self-focused culture, the distractions in our day-to-day lives, and why approaching God with humility and a trembling heart is so important if we want to truly walk in our purpose.And here's something I'm excited to share with you: Dr. Dodge is giving away a free copy of “Gospel 201” to one of our listeners!

She also shares how God supernaturally intervened to help her heal and to move forward in her life to be the wife, mother, pastor, author, speaker, and human trafficking advocate she is today. Her God-glorifying story will rock your world!

On today's show, we chat with two-time guest, Anne Wilson!God Story is a soul-baring anthem of survival, grief and divine redemption, rooted in pain but rising in praise. Written by Anne with frequent collaborators Matthew West and Jeff Pardo, the track captures Anne at her most vulnerable, tracing the scars of loss with a voice that's equal parts broken and bold. Sonically steeped in country-pop uplift and gospel grit, the song mirrors her own journey through unthinkable tragedy – the death of her brother Jacob – to the healing hope she now shares onstage. One of Nashville's most inspiring young trailblazers, Anne Wilson is a revolution in modern music. The Lexington, Ky. native, known for her transcendent vocal and down-to-earth storytelling, recently released her new single, “God Story.” Her last album, REBEL, featured her hopeful, healing debut Country single “Rain In The Rearview” as well as her chart-topping Christian radio ballad “Strong.” The genre-bending album followed her GRAMMY-nominated 2022 debut “My Jesus,” with the title track becoming a PLATINUM-certified No. 1 hit on Billboard's Christian Airplay chart. Since then, Wilson has tallied over 1 Billion global streams, made her Grand Ole Opry debut, and wrapped her entirely sold-out headlining My Jesus Tour. Already named a Spotify Hot Country Artist to Watch, one of CMT's Next Women of Country, and a 2024 Opry Next Stage Artist, she has made high-profile appearances on TODAY and ACM Honors, while earning her first-ever CMT Music Awards nomination, as well as a Billboard Music Award.annewilsonofficial.com@annewilsonmusicchristianmusicguys.com@christianmusicguys
