Join us for “Same Root, Different Leaves,” an enlightening and transformative webinar where Amanda, a survivor of human trafficking, and John, a former sex buyer, delve into a faith-based conversation about the core beliefs that drive victims and perpetrators alike. Through discussing their personal experiences with broken families, church-like cults, and normalization beliefs, they’ll explore how these factors intersect with the teachings of the church. Amanda and John illustrate how the church can inadvertently perpetuate the very roots that impact society and human trafficking. Discover the importance of love, acceptance, and non-judgment in addressing these challenges, and learn how we can work together to create a more supportive and compassionate faith community.
