Human trafficking can feel distant—something that happens somewhere else to someone else. But what if the next person at risk was the person you love most? In this episode of the Love Justice Podcast, Hannah Munn is joined by John Molineux, Founder and CEO of Love Justice International, and Aksha Molineux, Regional Steward for Nepal, for a deeply personal and perspective-shifting conversation about injustice, compassion, and responsibility. Together, they explore how moving from distant awareness to personal conviction transforms the way we see—and respond to—the world’s greatest injustices. Through powerful stories and lived experiences, John and Aksha reflect on when injustice became personal for them—and how that shift continues to fuel a life of sacrificial love in action. They unpack the reality that none of us choose where we’re born, how vulnerability is often inherited rather than earned, and why human trafficking thrives at the intersection of poverty, inequality, and lack of opportunity. This conversation also wrestles honestly with compassion fatigue, the temptation to look away, and the tension between feeling overwhelmed and taking meaningful action. John shares why a “broken heart” is not something to avoid, but something that can form us—and how that brokenness, when surrendered, becomes resolve.If you’ve ever wondered what your role is in the face of injustice—or how to move from emotion to action—this episode is for you.

In this honest and hope-filled episode, Terry Looper—business leader, author of Sacred Pace, and longtime mentor to Christian executives—joins Hannah Munn to share the story behind his dramatic burnout, his spiritual awakening, and the countercultural rhythm God used to restore his life. Terry reflects on the hidden idols of success, the spiritual danger of “speeding,” and the painful but redemptive journey of learning to surrender control. He unpacks the four-step framework he calls Sacred Pace—consult your friend Jesus, gather the facts, watch the circumstances, and get neutral—offering listeners a practical way to discern God’s voice without being driven by pride, fear, or people-pleasing. This conversation holds powerful parallels to the work of Love Justice International, where justice work can never be sustained through frantic striving. Just as Love Justice intervenes before exploitation occurs, Terry’s message points to another kind of prevention: slowing down before burnout, protecting the soul before collapse, and learning to operate at God’s pace so mission remains rooted in love—not pressure. With wisdom forged through pain and humility, Terry reminds us that when we surrender, we don’t lose—we finally begin to flourish.

In this timely and deeply challenging episode, Matt Smallbone—Lead Pastor of Church of the City (Downtown Nashville)—joins Hannah Munn and John Molineux for a conversation that cuts straight to the heart of sustainable justice work: forgiveness. Matt unpacks why unforgiveness quietly shrinks our world, distorts our perception, and eventually makes meaningful impact impossible. Together, the group explores what Scripture teaches about forgiveness as a daily discipline—not a one-time event—and why forgiveness is not the same as reconciliation. Through the parable of the unmerciful servant and the practice of praying the Lord’s Prayer, listeners are invited into a vision of freedom that is both deeply biblical and profoundly practical. This message carries direct parallels to the work of Love Justice International. Just as monitors intervene before exploitation begins, this episode highlights a different kind of prevention: guarding the heart from bitterness, pride, and resentment—the very things that can derail teams, destroy community, and sabotage long-term mission. Whether you’re serving in justice ministry, leadership, or everyday community, this episode is an invitation to release the debt, reclaim your peace, and step into the flourishing life Jesus intends.

In this deeply encouraging episode, Rebekah Lyons—author, speaker, and co-host of the Rhythms for Life podcast—joins Hannah Munn and special co-host Cambri Driskell to explore a truth often overlooked in justice work: that sustainable impact begins at home. Rebekah shares how emotional health, marriage unity, and embodied rhythms are not separate from calling—but foundational to it. Drawing from her own journey through motherhood, hidden seasons, anxiety, and vocational clarity, she offers practical wisdom for couples and individuals carrying heavy burdens on behalf of the vulnerable. This conversation resonates deeply with the mission of Love Justice International, where frontline work against trafficking demands not only courage and excellence, but also resilience, repair, and spiritual wholeness. Just as Love Justice monitors stand in high-stakes spaces to protect the exploited, Rebekah reminds us that those who fight for justice must also fight for their marriages, their margins, and their emotional integrity. Honest, hopeful, and richly pastoral, this episode is an invitation to build lives—and homes—that can endure the long road of justice.

In this compelling episode, Ashleigh Chapman—human rights lawyer, social entrepreneur, and founder of multiple anti-trafficking initiatives—joins Hannah Munn to share the story of discovering her calling at just eleven years old and spending a lifetime responding to it with courage, innovation, and faith. Ashleigh reflects on her early exposure to child abuse and systemic failure, her unexpected path through nonprofit leadership and law school, and the conviction that prevention—not reaction—must define the future of justice work. From launching global tools like Engage Together, Justice U, and Freedom Council, to pioneering a B Corp model that scales life-saving solutions through innovation, Ashleigh unpacks how systems, collaboration, and excellence can disrupt trafficking before it begins. This conversation challenges listeners to rethink justice not as awareness alone, but as responsibility—and invites each of us to see our skills, professions, and communities as essential to protecting the vulnerable. Deeply theological, rigorously practical, and filled with hope, this episode is a masterclass in what it looks like to say yes to God’s call—and keep saying yes for a lifetime.

In this powerful episode, Luke Wilbanks, founder of Anchor House Coffee in Buckley, Washington, joins Hannah Munn to share a story marked by deep brokenness, radical grace, and unexpected redemption. From years of isolation and despair to a life poured out for community, Luke reflects on how God transformed his story—and how that transformation now shapes a coffeehouse built to anchor souls. What began as a simple vision for a neighborhood coffee shop has become a living expression of the Church at work: fostering belonging, meeting real needs, and inviting everyday people into the fight against human trafficking. Luke shares why Anchor House chose to partner with Love Justice International, how generosity fuels joy, and why stopping exploitation before it happens matters deeply—especially as a father. This conversation is an invitation to reimagine what justice looks like when it’s woven into ordinary spaces. Honest, theologically grounded, and deeply human, this episode reminds us that when love refuses to stay idle, entire communities can be restored.

In this remarkable episode, Marissa “The Rope Runner” joins the podcast to share how an unexpected injury—and a simple act of obedience—sparked a global platform for justice. What began as a creative fitness experiment evolved into something far greater: running marathons and ultra-marathons while jump roping to raise awareness for human trafficking. Marissa reflects on the “divine download” that connected her unusual calling to Love Justice International, and how visibility, vulnerability, and perseverance opened doors she never could have planned. Through stories of endurance, solitude, and faith, she reveals how God uses what’s already in our hands—no matter how small or unconventional—to protect the vulnerable and inspire others to say yes. This episode is a powerful invitation to rethink influence, faithfulness, and impact. Whether your platform feels big or small, Marissa’s story reminds us that obedience—not scale—is what God multiplies.

In this deeply reflective episode, John Molineux joins host Hannah Munn to unpack the heart behind Loving Justice, Love Justice International’s new small group guide—and the spiritual journey that shaped it. Drawing from decades of frontline experience, John explores what it truly means to love “the least of these” with effective action, humility, and faith. This conversation weaves together Scripture, lived experience, and hard-earned wisdom—touching on pride, forgiveness, fasting, prayer, and the danger of well-intentioned harm. At the center is a provocative conviction: that God unleashes breakthrough blessing when His people reach the neediest with love that actually works. Through stories of prayer-fueled impact, community forged in sacrifice, and the quiet faithfulness of donors and intercessors, this episode invites listeners to reimagine justice not as activism alone—but as worship. Honest, theological, and hope-filled, this conversation challenges the Church to choose impact, embrace weakness, and trust God’s promises in both this life and the life to come.

In this episode, Paula Cornell interviews Isami, a survivor of human trafficking, as well as a public speaker, a content creator, weight lifter, aerialist, cat lover, and self proclaimed amateur human, professional weirdo. Isami shares her journey from witnessing trafficking as a flight attendant, to realizing years later that she herself had survived familial trafficking, to finding healing, faith, and a voice that now helps others step out of shame and into freedom. Listen in on this powerful conversation. Paula Cornell is from Seattle and joined Love Justice International as a writer in 2021. Prior to joining Love Justice, Paula spent several years volunteering with Youth With A Mission, where she heard and witnessed incredible stories from around the world of healing and redemption in the face of injustice. Seeing how stories like these could inspire hope, bring understanding, and spur people into action, she began to dream of how stories could change the world. This dream eventually led her to return to college to pursue a journalism degree from the University of Washington and delivered her into the hands of Love Justice, where she is happily learning to write (and now podcast) with an awesome team of people for a cause that she cares deeply about.

In this foundational episode, Love Justice leaders John Molineux and Kirk Schweitzer join host Hannah Munn to explore the DNA of Love Justice’s work—how decades of mistakes, breakthroughs, and humility crystallized into our core competency: searching out the people, places, and tools to maximize mission impact. Through candid stories from Nepal, early missteps in expat missions, and the evolution of our field processes, John and Kirk unpack why admitting weakness became a spiritual and strategic turning point. They trace the shift from Western-led operations to empowering the right local leaders, the birth of field core processes, and the relentless commitment to impact verification and integrity. This conversation invites listeners into the backstage of Love Justice’s growth—its tensions, its refining, and its deep conviction that impact—not activity—is what love demands. For anyone passionate about justice, sustainable mission work, or building systems that truly protect the vulnerable, this is a rare, honest look at how meaningful impact is actually made.” You can learn more about Love Justice International at LoveJustice.ngo or @LoveJusticeIntl on social media and YouTube.
