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, [...]
Classroom presentations have officially started!! Cactus High School invites us every semester to speak with their Criminal Justice classes. It's a fun time as we are able to customize our presentations to address law enforcement's role in the fight against sex trafficking.

Before spring break we only had 1.5 weeks of school events on the calendar for the rest of the semester. It wasn't too long after that we ended up having three and a half! Every time we said that we would have to start turning people down because our schedule was too full, another unbelievable opportunity would come up - [...]
The heartbeat behind Red Light Rebellion is to equip students with all the tools/resources they need in order to join the fight against sex trafficking. We truly believe that this generation is going to create change for justice in ways no other generation has before them. They have technology and opportunities that never existed before. [...]
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 way God brings people together for ministry is absolutely amazing to me! Meeting FREE International and the rest of Blitz the Trafficker team has given us so many blessings this last year! We were stoked to make it out to Super Bowl again to look for missing/exploited children. (For the full scoop on our [...]
