This week, Jeff, DW, Jason and Terra Kay share thoughts about Mo’ne Davis’ example of forgiveness and how to respond to people who say things that you disagree strongly with. In a day where social media has revolutionized inter- and intrapersonal relationships, often times we don’t say what we mean or even mean what we say. Also, feel free to share your sketch of us on the Tweetback!
Note: This show may be sensitive for younger listeners.
January is National Slavery & Human Trafficking Prevention Month. Tonight, Jeff & DW welcome Terra Kay back and she’s bringing friends! Sarah Boes from More Precious Than Rubies joins the Hope Panel on the show to talk about the realities of human trafficking and modern-day slavery this week. Today marks National Human Trafficking Prevention Day and campaigns across the country took to the streets and social media to bring the conversation to the forefront.
Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery. This crime occurs when a trafficker uses force, fraud or coercion to control another person for the purpose of engaging in commercial sex acts or soliciting labor or services against his/her will.
The International Labour Org estimates that there are 20.9M victims of human trafficking worldwide. 5.5M are children. #HNRTB#EndSlavery — HopeNet Radio (@hopenetradio) January 12, 2015
Damascus Road is dedicated to fighting the evil of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. We are committed to bring awareness through education, restoring and empowering the abused and advocating for the prevention and abolition of human trafficking.

Thank you so much for being part of this journey with Dave and me! We’ve had some fun with this Thanksliving series and hope that you have been thinking about what it would take for you to live thankfully every day.
Joining Jeff & DW on the show is Jason, Terra Kay, and Mike Ott. Tell us what the best part of Thanksgiving was for you on the Tweetback! This week on HopeNet Radio, we’re discussing the effects of thanksliving – kindness through acts of service. We believe that living thankfully results in acting thankful toward others. It seems like every other day, I see things like the Pay It Forward movement trending on Facebook or Twitter. (There’s even a Pay It Forward Day!)
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours this week! Thanksgiving time is not always filled with thanks-giving. In fact, 90% of people are only thankful when it’s over. Ok, well that stat might be made up. Regardless, the last thing we want for you is for you to miss out on the joy of Thanksgiving because you just don’t feel like being thankful.
This week’s conversation addresses the struggle to be thankful emotionally. Let’s face it, we don’t always feel thankful. Why is that? Listen to the show this week and decide for yourself to never not be thankful. Joining Jeff & DW on the show is Jason, Terra Kay, and Mike Ott. Leave your thoughts with us on the Tweetback!
