One of Brandon's many jobs has him doing front desk work at a music lessons school. If you have never worked with Brandon in a retail setting, you are missing out on a lot of shenanigans: pranks, banter that usually involves some goofy name calling, even old lady jokes. One of his co-workers who has [...]
Working in aftercare is tough. I remember being a peer mentor for teens coming out of sex trafficking. The pain in their hearts and their search for love is heartbreaking. There were nights I would get home from my visitations and just lay on the floor of my dorm room and cry. It didn't make [...]
We are mid-way through the semester and presentations, and are already wondering where the time went! At the end of September we got the awesome opportunity to serve Barry Goldwater High School through health class presentations. The teachers went all out by booking the lecture hall and herding in multiple classes each period. Brittany, Brandon, [...]

This has been one of the most challenging things we have ever done, from the courage to contact certain [...]
Sex trafficking is different from many other crimes, partly because it encompasses a lot of other crimes. There are some pimps sitting in jail, or will go to jail, and never be sentenced with a sex trafficking charge. Charging people for sex trafficking is a new phenomenon, so there are many crimes with minimum sentencing [...]
It is amazing to see how God has set up His Kingdom so that He uses us to spread the message of the Gospel. When we have somewhat of a grasp on our depravity and foolishness as human beings, it seems quite ludicrous that He has intentionally made it happen that way. Yet He wants to [...]
It can be difficult running a faith-based nonprofit that does most of its ministry in the public school system. We are oftentimes faced with the challenge of figuring out how to say things in a way that won't get us kicked out, aka seem like we're preaching at the students. We dance in this tension [...]
The book that Brandon and I are currently reading, The Rest of God by Mark Buchanan, is all about restoring our souls by restoring Sabbath. It was given to us by mentors after I explained how busy our schedules have been and how much I have been struggling to delight in Christ. The question they posed, [...]
