Advocate Series - TRAILER: A 5-Part Series

We’re re-launching our Advocate Series—for the first time ever—as a podcast and YouTube series starting October 9th, 2025. Watch full series here. 

This 5-part study, led by author and pastor Francis Chan, dives into how the Church can biblically and practically confront the reality of human trafficking in America.

Through Scripture, survivor stories, and urgent insights, this series explores:

  • The biblical call to defend the vulnerable and oppressed
  • The hidden but devastating reality of trafficking across the U.S.
  • How churches can move beyond awareness into bold action
  • Stories of healing, restoration, and hope through Christ

This is more than a conversation—it’s a call for the Body of Christ to rise up, engage, and be the hands and feet of Jesus in the fight against trafficking. Together, we can help bring freedom, justice, and redemption to those who need it most.

After the 5 episodes have premiered, we will have 5 bonus episodes that we launched back in season 2 of our podcast (keep in mind that you can listen to those at any time)

🔔 Subscribe to Trafficking Free America and join the mission to advocate hope for the hopeless.
