Porch Talk with Father Aaron
Welcome! Here we have conversations where the Christian faith interacts (or intersects) with topics found outside of the typical, safe church environment. We wanted to address the question: "What happens when a priest talks with people of the community about topics that are important to them, but not necessarily what you might hear Sunday morning?" Our church porch (or patio) was designed to facilitate these meaningful and authentic conversations, so we called this "Porch Talk." Join us!
Porch Talk with Father Aaron
Human Trafficking, Christian Compassion and Finding Purpose
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Fr. Aaron talks with Morgan Blankenship, the Director of the Dare to Hope, Inc. in Dothan, Alabama which focuses on compassionate interventions for those that have been victims of human trafficking. Morgan shares startling information about the most common forms of trafficking happening all around us, what are some of the appropriate responses to it, and how she came to serve in this capacity. Along the way we touch on related topics regarding how God redeems us from ourselves over time, and how we find purpose in service.
